shortcat1 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Dan Linn has done a fine job, as usual, on this article outlining his list of the Canadiens top 30 prospects.

BTH Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 This was a good article. I don't agee with everything. I don't think our farm system is as good anymore. But if we draft two top prospects a year (and 2 average) then we'll be loaded before we stock up. Kind of like this year; we had a great farm system but everyone moved up to the Habs.

Howie_Morenz Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I sent Dan an email thanking him for his article. I enjoy reading about the future Habs and their progress. This website is so informative as we have people from around the world as habs fans or fans of certain players on the Habs. Either way we win because it brings a wealth of information we might never be able to obtain. :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Did you say fan of certain players? I believe I'm 6 posts away from giving you the lesson of the lifetime. (Don't take the bait. Just have patience.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Shouldn't this thread be in the Prospects section? But I agree mostly on all rankings, though I expected Murray to be a bit better ranked than 21st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think you made about 5 typos in Hallelujah. There are similar but different spellings for that word, honestly but I really like your creative use of the words 'of' and 'becoming'. 1989 - was offered a job in Sudbury but they couldn't find a place to put me - try again, next year.

MAK Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 great article!! thanks you know we're bound to trouble when we don't have a legit D-men in store. sure O'byrne looks ok but he doesn'T have any professional experience. I just don't see why we're wasting time on korpikari and lindhart. these guys will never be NHL players anyway I hope emelin is a bulldog next year. there seems to alot to love about this player. I'll bet a loonie that montreal draft a d_man in the first two rounds next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Ya but Markov is young. He's great and he's not even in his prime yet. And Komisarek will also be great in a couple of years. And Emelin is only 19. I guarantee he'll be a top prospect for us next year. That's 3 good defenceman rising for us. I agree, we'll draft 1 if not 2 defenceman as early as possible. We have enough goalies to last us 10 years and enough forwards young forwards to stop us from choosing them early. We'll go for 3rd round steals. Let's hope Mikus becomes one. If we draft two steady NHLers a year we'll have a great farm agaoin in no time. And I definitely have faith in our drafting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet a loonie that montreal draft a d_man in the first two rounds next year I don't know what 'time' is being 'wasted' on Korpikari & Lindhart. Probably the only time wasted is the time it takes to read the short articles on them. It does look not that very good for them to make it in the NHL but, as far as being prospects, they still are. I'd take your loonie on if I was rich enough but I'd sure bet a loonie on the Canadiens drafting who they consider to be 'the best player available' at the time of their pick, regardless of the position. If it's a defenseman, there you go. If it's not a defenseman, again, there you go. 1995 - Still trying to make the small business work but with about as much success, other than that, nothing exceptional happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say it loud & clear from the mountain top, BTH! If we do pick two legitimate prospects a year (which is probably somewhere around average), our depth chart will continue to be quite healthy. 1996 - Still another quiet, inconsequential year.
