Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

It's like if these Habs made the playoffs in 2024..and had yet to win a series in 2027, even tho they were regular season tigers

the frustration/pressure would definitely be mounting
The Leafs haven’t won a playoff series in 17 years.

The longest Habs drought in franchise history was 5 seasons without a series win.
 
Speaking of the Rangers, what's Lafreniere doing these days? I don't often hear about him so I'm guessing he's kind of an underwhelming first overall?
 
Gorton in Boston.
As GM. Traded raycroft for Rask.
Traded picks to draft Marchand.
Drafted Kessel and Lucic.

As assistant GM.. 7 years.
Kreiji, versteeg, PB, Nate Thompson.
First few years were suspect.

Gorton in NY (2016 to 2020 drafts)
2016... Nothing... Didn't have first or second rounder. Best player taking with 30 picks of that pick was..... Drumroll... Victor Mete

2017... Two first rounders
Chytil is decent at 21 but Andersen at 7 was a bust

2018. Three first rounders. Went 1 for 3 with Miller.

2019 probably too early to tell but kappo hasn't panned out and unlikely he pulls a dach. He did take the obvious number 2 (note that he didn't take wright.. See laf as well) . Rest... Who knows but not looking good.

2020 too early but laf hasn't been good enough

I'm not even sure how much of a role he plays in drafting with Montreal (or Boston or new York). The Habs seem to have good returns so far in his time. But having a good season or two in juniors doesn't always translate.
 
Now is Lafreniere someone that the Habs might be interested in? Could MSL do for him what he did for Caufield or are we looking at Drouin 2.0?
I would really dangle Anderson w NYR in an attempt to try and pry two of Kakko, Lafreniere and Kravtsov.

Unfortunately, I sense NYR are solely focused on Kane
