I can't remember a single Habs report that Jimmy Murphy has gotten right.

Many teams trade picks to get players, that has to be included in the evaluation from my view.

He's also a Right Handed Defenceman. Can we stop suggesting players for positions that the Habs don't need.

i have no interest in Methot, so thats fine by me.

He was assaulted by his girlfriend. He was the victim for #### sakes, and he didn't hit her back. Thats his off-ice problem. I'm sorry, but i can't criticize him for that.

I like this kid alot. ANd I do think he can be a second liner. One thing in your post i have to comment on though, He might have a very good shot, but he had like 40 SOG in 34 games (not an exact stat, its almost midnight and i'm not looking it up, but its like 1.1 shots per game). He never shoots. All his goals/shots are deflections, or pouncing on a rebound. He rarely, rarely shoots. Always looking to pass when he has the puck. Thats my biggest criticism of him. But I like him a lot even without that.

Lehtera sucks, but the picks are quite a bit.

Scouting Report http://lastwordonhockeyprospects.com/2017/04/14/ryan-poehling-scouting-report-2017-nhl-draft-16/

Don't reach for guys who aren't as good.

Might have to take a Winger. The best Cs and Ds are off the board. Go for Tolvanen if he keeps falling.

Don already preparing to defend Bergevin when he doesn't get a centre, AGAIN. But its hard.

Not everyone can do it, but there are far more LHD who can play the right side than vice-versa. We also have one in Benn.

Edmonton and Calgary are in the top 5 in the NHL for least taxes, but he has them on his list. Meanwhile the California teams are not on his list. Do You really think this is a tax thing?

Its much easier to have a LHD play RD than the other way around. Benn already played RD for us last season and looked good. Our top 3 callups (Redmond, Lernout, Juulsen) are RHD.

The league has gone crazy in the last 2 hours.

In 5 weeks since their owner took control of the team. He has fired. CEO President of Hockey Operations Coach They have also said that the face of the franchise for 20 years is not getting a new contract offer, and traded the starting goalie. Seems to me he didn't like what was happening when he was only part of the ownership team.

Can we define what "loading up" means They have two guys on the roster, and one prospect who is in the KHL.

Simon Despres is highly unlikely to ever play another NHL game. His head is mush.

He had to draft 30 players. An NHL roster is 23 guys. He also is making trades to add even more guys... and he's made free agent signings and will make more. His roster is bloated, thats why some of his guys are being traded to be moved. Vegas had the second highest cap hit in the entire NHL after the draft, simply on the number of contracts they have to take on.
