GDT Game 71: VS Lightning, Tuesday, March 21, 7PM EST

after missing what 13 years in a row, shouldn't they be?

...and they will miss again, let's NOT be Buffalo
Habs would of missed 6 years in a row without Covid

Sabres have a 1-2C and their Keith and Seebrook for the next 7-8 years

WTF , Habs have nothing close to that plus their depth is better

All they need is a legit goalie and they are in the playoffs

6 is still better than 11 AND wuhan did happen so you can't take that glorious 2021 from us.

I'm also sure Pegula would trade our 2013-2023 for the Sabres'.
 
Not taking anything away from the Habs but it required a pandemic

Sabres are miles ahead of development , the past is the past .
only because they missed so many yrs

"past is the past" is that the LeafFan "I only care about the here and now" for teams out of the playoffs since 2010?
 
I'm expecting us to draft at either 5 or 6. I don't think we'll fall further than that, unless by minor miracle we get the first overall pick.

I would be very happy with Will Smith at 5/6... Unless Michkov is there because hurrr durr ruskies scary.
If the Canadiens aren’t drafting top 4 - I think they would take Mychkov or Carlsson if one of them is available at 3 or 4 - I firmly believe they’re going to draft the big Swiss d-man with their first pick, irrespective of where he’s ranked.

What gives you that belief?

We might squeak into 4th for the ping pong balls. Ducks have a chance to pass us.

Edit: looking at the odds, your point still stands. Finishing 4th in ping pong means you have a 65% chance of getting 5th or 6th pick. 🤨

Moving from 5 to 4 has almost no benefit.

I agree with Michkov/Carlsson, not so sure about Reinbacher with our pick if it's outside the top-4.

Reinbacher's the type of player I'd love to pick with Florida's first, honestly.
 
The top-4 is pretty much set: Bedard, Fantilli, Carlsson, Michkov, whatever order you want them in.

After that, though, it's pretty much up in the air. A top-4 pick would absolutely be ideal. At 5, unless the teams in the top-4 are scared of Russians, the decision gets a lot more difficult.

Sabres had Covid too and still couldn't make it.
