Alot.

He shouldn’t have let him walk in the first place. Gets harder and harder to defend Drury, I’ve done my best lol but I’m on the Drury hate line, at least the back of it

The problem is we didnt have the salary cap to do it. They chose Goodrow over everyone else.

I can't say I'm an avid basketball fan, but I consistently listen to sports radio.. When did it become common place in the NBA to trade multiple 1st rd picks for other players?
Often when I hear a proposed trade, it involves 2-5 1st rd picks + pick swaps.
It seems like a broken system, but NBA free agency sees stars move all the time, so they're doing something right.
I would love to see the NHL develop their own version of Bird rights.

for like 15 years. 1st round picks in the NBA don't matter.

I could jump off tho as I’ve said. I’d prefer too actually lol. I do believe in him still. But he’s got to be on the hot seat now. After last year, firing the coach, etc. That’s why I think he’ll be selling future pieces up until this deadline because at some point what’s does he have to lose (talking personally in his own head). I don’t think he’s Teflon by any means where he can not make it happen year after year

there is a theory that Drury will surprise everyone by acquiring somebody nobody saw coming...

but, TJ has proposed a mock trade for every conceivable player in the league at least once, so whatever happens, TJ will have thought of it

The good thing is that last year he didn't sell THAT many future assets. But he won't survive laviolette. You can't get 3 crack at a head HC without a championship.

His production waned after a hot start. Plus at 3.65 mil a year for three years, they couldn’t fit that cap hit in.

I think JBrod could work on the 4th line. He’s definitely fast at least

oh yeah, I think he's sticking around but he should be 12/13th forward not top 9

That is ultimately the problem we have, playing three or four 12-13 Fs every game.

a team can only retain on 3 contacts at one time, and Montreal already had two, so its good for them they didn't retain on Monahan, they likely will do another trade where they retain and get that 3rd one in

definitely a big problem, and its magnified by Mika and Shesterkin being well below standards and Lafreniere's 4 goals in 34 games playing with arguably the best playmaker in the league

Mika, Shesterkin and Lafreniere have got to be better, and I believe they all will be

No argument but the two are not mutually exclusive which is the problem

Anderson is probably someone they should get rid of but I doubt they retain on 3 more years of him.
