quality prospect that will become second-tier players at best, with the exception of Caufield maybe
- Fredo

I think that crystal ball of yours would work a lot better if you removed it from your ass first

What's the point of living in the past? Those past failures are indicative of what's to come??

Is it the same group developing the young players? why do you expect a different outcome. Kotkeniemi playing in the nhl at 18 getting 10 minutes of ice time. Why was he not in finland getting 20 and playing top pp time? Just poop like that makes it hard to trust the group handling these kids

Good point!

You listen to Highly Suspect at all?

Pretty sure they've added lots if quality prospects in the last 24 months
- obie

We'll see ... on the positive side it won't be Lefebvre in charge of developing them.

They should have fired that incompetent buffoon YEARS before they actually did last year.

I expect a different outcome because they are different players

it will take a few years to see the impact of the last 2-3 drafts and the next one, the problem with the reset while trying to stay competitive is they still miss the playoffs every year and don't get to add the quality of prospects they could with a real rebuilding process. Molson is buying this strategy...that's all that matters to MB

Trade everyone over 24 not named Gallagher or Danault.

The coaching staff is different too.

Pretty much.... over the next 18 months, that should be the mindset

Yes i do. I was just listening to my best of 2016 playlist on Spotify and they came on....so i started listening to them again recently. I like them, they're pretty cool.

i think you'll find it relieves other maladies as well.

Is that the Leafs model or the Oilers of model for great success?

The good songs are really good but lots of filler...

Yeah, wouldn't buy an album of theirs that's for sure. They have a couple good tunes and that's about it.

I'm not ready to blame Cloooode at this point, the guy's job is to try winning with a team full of holes.

Not sure anyone could have done better this year with all the injuries and a "bubble team" lineup at best.

He still didn't have to put Weal and Cousins on the PP

Yep, that's one of the good ones!

For sure.... probably my favorite

Hmmm ... Yeah ... I can't refute this.

MB seems to play Montreal like a fiddle. For every fail, he pulls a good trade/signing out of his ass to make us forget the rest of the garbage.

- Fredo

he should be fired for that alone
