Picking KK over Brady seems like an error

KK is becoming addictive, the way he plays , there is an elegance to it almost like Beliveau. But maybe a trade to the Finnish GM in Columbus for Dubois is his destiny.
Are you high? Just wondering.
KK was a huge reach at no. 3. MB drafted him there because of a huge hole at center. No way that KK was the BPA.

No, he has those long strides and then he has a quick little deke coming out of nowhere
I was joking but come on, comparing KK to Beliveau IN ANY RESPECT at this time is just silly.

people make comparisons all the time, doesnt mean they are equal in skill, just in style.

The rest of the quote from the “agent” clearly states - if it wasn’t for Suzuki’s performance in the playoffs last year...

Not sure if the Habs tried of not, but was wondering why not just loan Juulsen to SEL for a season to protect from waivers & give him playing time needed

Ah, context is everything. Click bait crap.

His skating is similar. I think he was referring to the way he looks on the ice.
I personally see more of Bobby Smith with a tad more speed and no, it's not because of the number.

Maybe the trade is still doable, under revision. There was an interest.

We would always regret not picking Tkachuk but our glaring hole at center was too big to ignore. As long as KK develops as expected, I'm ok with the trade-off.

Yes, very much so in style to Bobby Smith. His offensive game trails off more than Smith's in the zone of course, but we'll see...unlikely he'll ever produce Smith-like numbers but it was a different time.

I don't care that we passed up on Tkachuk. I care that we passed up on Quinn Hughes and it seems pretty obvious we had no interest in him. We didn't even bother sending our scouts to watch him play in the World Championship when he was draft eligible.
Nobody in their right mind here would oppose a Hughes for KK trade if it was available today.

Its moves like that and signing Edmundston that continually makes me me wonder just how bright our brass is.Even when they make good moves, some boneup manoeuver will get thrown in there.
Sure you lose some but the intent is sound. But these type of moves can be smelled a mile away.
