Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

yep....eventually bad drafts come to roost (even if you win trades here and there)

You're gonna whiff on some draft years...but it can't be an annual thing PLUS you need some big winners like 2007 (McDo, Max, Subban)

Also, no team has ever celebrated a draft where they got a bunch of depth players. 2007 isn't remembered as a big winner because of the Yannick Weber pick.

Swing for the fences, try to get players with upside.

We had a 0.200 hitter though

2022 (Slaf, Hutson and Beck) might turn out to be this generation's 2007.

we'll see....I no longer buy into a prospect unless they prove it in the show (some exceptions apply like Connor Bedard etc)

it doesn't mean I give up on young dudes like Barron...but prospects are a crapshoot and their hype usually far exceeds the finished product

isn't the old line that prospect means you haven't done shit yet?

Yup and hype sometimes is worth more in a trade than a future finished product

The issue isn't giving up really, it's other prospects passing the guy in question. The numbers game eventually catches up to you.

D and G take longer for the most part yet teams keep focusing on the younger guys coming in.
