Wasn't McCarron the year before Scherbak?

Yes. http://www.hockeydb.com/i...aft/teams/dr00006929.html

Timmins could be a bigger problem than MB.

Well he did get Subban and Price

6 months for Julssen and 18 months for Scherbak - that is not 3 years ago.

McCarron is less than 3 years (2.5 years).

So let's totally not exaggerate.

What about Collberg and Thrower? They turned out to be dynamite

I'm talking about who he drafted since he arrived. Why are you cherry picking only the first round picks?

I forgot.

In the last 3 years, every NHL team has at least 1 impact player from round 2+.

My mistake.

He was GM for 3 weeks and every media and fan were sucking on his cock because a scouting team he had absolutely no influence on for the last year apparently had a good draft.

in all fairness though, while I don't disagree with you, if you're gonna complain that trades are hard and say you're building through the draft then you can't just build through the 1st round

No.

Just saying people are being fairly unrealistic.

I admit I was on that bandwagon. In hindsight it was really cute.

So, when Bergevin was hired, he thought to himself that he would rebuild this team through the draft, Blackhawks style. A guy named Carey Price screwed his plan and he had to act like a contender right away. Didn't get the chance to acquire high end talent through the draft after he got Galchenyuk.

How do you get out of that? It's not going to be an easy task, and as long as Price will put up the numbers, you'll have the same old same old, a team that's going around in circles, great regular season, gets knocked out of the playoffs in the second round and gets an horrible position to draft in the first round.

Don't disagree.

But to state that there are no decent players coming from drafts the last few years is also unrealistic. Very few players make it to the NHL in the first 2 years, and if you are with certain teams (ie: Red Wings, for example), you can usually expect longer development cycles.

Not comparing the Habs to the Wings, just saying just because a player gets drafted does not mean he should be in the NHL in 6 months, and certainly, without development time.

Everyone poop all over the Habs when they rushed guys to the NHL. Now they are keeping guys in the CHL, AHL, or Europe longer and now that means all picks are suddenly poop.

Unbelievable.

That would be a pretty cool exercise to make, actually. Look at how many teams managed to pick top 6 players or top4 dmen in those years.
