Habs 1st round successes since Bob Gainey in 1973 has been: 1984, 1993, 2005, 2007, 2016I don't know why people are sweating the draft picks. The whole reason why we got here is because Timmins fucked up the pick and took KK instead of Tkachuk. Clearly and given our draft history over the last decade, it is clear that Timmins is incompetent when it comes to assessing talent. So keeping the picks from Carolina only ensures that Timmins will again piss them up the nearest wall. Dvorak is a known entity and can produce at least as much if not more than KK ever would for us so at worst we are no worse off.
Until we have a new front office and scouting staff I'm fine with them trading picks for established players with abandon. I have zero faith in Timmins' ability to draft competently.
3-of the best-5 Habs 1st round successes in 48-years has been under Timmins. That’s nothing to write home about, but just a reflection of the putrid history for the Habs 1st round drafting.
Even Koivu selection in 1993 doesn’t happen until Serge Savard has to step in to keep JC Tremblay from throwing haymakers @ Carol Vadnais & Andre Boudrias
