doesn't his name just scream Revenge of the Nerds douchebag type like Stan Gable?
2024 Draft
- Thread starter GGpX
- Start date
Not a chance. None.
Who was more upside Catton or Cooley last year
We don’t. But there’s almost no chance we’re using a top 9 pick on him. Just look at Bobrov’s record with NYR and us with mid/high first round picks. He’s not taking a 5’10”, 165 lbs., player . . . not named Bedard.

Ahh.
I mean let's hope he has learned because the drafting in the first round has been Timmins level of bad.
But is that why they didn't take Michkov? Size?

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
Because he's Russian and because he has an ego. The Habs see Michkov and they just see a white Russian Subban.
Management has changed but the organizational mindset regarding players with personalities bigger than the team has not.
or they knew he is more sizzle than steak, uncoachable, and a Russian fascist...

Yep. Though not sure when they started.
Laffy, krako have disappointed imo.
Kratzov at 9. Out of nhl already
Andersen at 7 (currently on Laval aka AHLer)
Then they didn't have a first rounder for years.
2011 was JT Miller at 15 but even Timmons had one max and mcD

Well aside from the Russian fascist part, how does that make Michkov fundamentally different than Subban?

Laffy hasn't been disappointing in a while. We should have traded for him when he was going cheap. Now he's not going anywhere. And Kakko has had injuries so the jury is still out.

Laffy is 6th on the team in scoring... In his 4th year. Sure he has improved but for a first overall it is disappointing. Especially when you consider 2, 3,and 4 are all better than him.
Subban won the Norris ergo Wagyu, and was coachable

Ah. My misunderstanding.
I was thinking Slafkovsky and Reinbacher.
But, yah, that list ain’t stellar. Good thing for them they get UFAs and hold outs.

Point was just that drafting big guys hasn't exactly shown success so I have no idea why they'd have a rule about that.

But we’re getting close to the limit of smallish players too. One more big guy would be very helpful.

Not playing around anymore.
What the fuck kind of crack is your hamster on man?
