Not sure what we have to look forward to ? We have no superstar forward, nor any in the farm system, no Hedman-Doughty-Chara-Makar-Fox on the team, nor any in the farm system, no franchise goalkeeper nor any in the farm system.

The next 10-15 years will depend on if we can find a superstar 1C in the upcoming drafts….

Suzuki-Caufield are elite, but they need another 1C to help them…

Find another Price and hope for the best.

I would think all the well known Canadian universities have at least a handful of decent on line courses. Probably because Athabasca is more flexible and easier. I guess a university credit is a credit no matter where, but I personally would not take a course from there, cause it has zero name recognition.

Devon Levi will likely make more money in his first 3-4 years in the NHL than most of us here will in our entire working lives. He also has a degree from Northeastern, a fine university. I think he chose quite well.

A healthy Dach would make a huge difference.

you make 7 figures as the top civil litigator in Pa, you will outdo Levi

Suzuki and Caufield are very good players (well, Suzuki is. Caufield is a very good scorer, provided that he's given enough time and space) but neither of them are "elite". We have no elite players in the organization. You'd need to go back 30 years or more to find an elite Habs player who wasn't a goalie.

Try 50 years…

Damphousse & Richer weren’t… elite in an era where gnomes scored 100-pts

Depends on your definition of elite. Damphousse was often in the top 20-25 in scoring. 6 80pts+ seasons, 4 90pts+ seasons. I'd love to have a player like that again.

Iirc in 1993, Damphousse was 24th OA in scoring and finished something like 25-pts behind #10.. that’s a huge relative difference and not elite IMO

Like I said Damphousse played in an era where 100-pts wasn’t that great an accomplishment - in 1993 I believe at least 15 or 16 teams had a player w 100-pts or more… of course Habs weren’t amongst one of them

Not 2 or 3 teams almost 70% of the leagues teams had a 100-pts player minus Habs of course

When you can’t achieve what 70% of the league does, how can it be labeled elite?

I think it's faire to say that Devon Levi wouldn't be in the NHL had he stayed in Canada and went the Junior route. And on top of that, a Northeastern education is nothing to sneeze at.

Then he’d be a constant top-3 Norria candidate, also slam dunk 1st ballot HOFer and Jersey retirement … both of which won’t happen

He was underrated. I'll give you that.

But a top 10 dman for a decade is elite imo.

That's a strange way of thinking, using team stats to determine a player value???

What's your cut-off for elite? Top 10? Top 20? Top 25, 30, etc?

Btw Damphousse was 20th in 96 (Turgeon with 18th). Also 21th in 94 and 97. 18th in 90 and 92.

So you're telling me that a player that ended up top 25 in scoring for 6 seasons, including 3 in the top 20, wasn't elite? That's a high bar.
