... while the Canadiens players would probably love to win this one, it’s getting to the point where fans are almost wishing the team would love to have a better pick at the next draft. - Karine Hains
Yep, I'm pretty Meh about the whole thing at this point.
The only thing interesting to me now is to see how the youngins are doing.
I'd love to see more of Primeau in net, he impressed me last game.

When is last time Boston had that strategy?
Like it or not, this is an unnecessary loser strategy you are referring to…
Tank to draft KK over Brady T is Habs tragedy…. Picking the Austrian may end up the same…

I'm still pissed we drafted Doug Wickenheiser over Denis Savard.

This is an interesting comment…. If you add the Mark Napier over Mike Bossy, you get with those 2 why Habs went from a Dynasty to an average team for following 30 years…
It does not take many bad drafting decisions to change the course of history…

I think they've done a good job drafting the past few years. Even Timmin's last few drafts are looking pretty good nowadays (Caufield, Guhle, Mailloux).
I was on the "draft Michkov" train but I'm willing to give Reinbacher some time before judging the pick. He was my 2nd choice after Michkov so it's not the end of the world for me.
A few months ago, so many people would have traded Slaf for Cooley in a heartbeat.... don't hear much of these clowns today.

Dude, I'm still raging that we picked Simon Gagne's linemate Eric Chouinard instead of Simon Gagne himself!!!!

They would have had Gagne playing 8 minutes per game on the 4th until they would have scrapped him…

For me it was picking Price over Kopitar…
Price was great and made the team looking better than it was…
Picking a goalie with a top 10 pick is very often a bad decision…
You can find good goalies in later rounds but maybe it is more of a philosophical debate than anything…
Preds are red hot, i suppose another loss wont kill

It's not like Kopitar was projected to go top 5 either. Odds are the Habs passing on Price would have resulted in us getting Brule.
Can't be mad about a draft pick that gave us the best goaltender of his generation.

We would never know…. Could be interesting to ask Timmins who was on the list after Price…

I take recruiters words on past drafts with a grain of salt.
Timmins said many things over the years, sometimes even contradicting himself.
Bottom line is the bolded really. So I'm happy we got such a great player.
