I'd be okay with either, honestly.there's a higher chance that the NHL abolishes the draft then Florida wins the lottery in 2026
If I read it right.From what I can tell, if Calgary’s first-round pick is in the top 10 and Florida’s isn’t, we get the Florida pick. If both picks are not in the top 10, then the Habs get the better 2025 first-round pick.
It's complicated and you can read all about it here

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we're getting a juicy pick.
Well, we’ll still have a decent chance for a top 5 pick next season . . . ours.Yah, we’re not getting a top 5 pick. Best case scenario is for Calgary to just miss the playoffs.
if we are as bad next year as this year, then Hughes has to get canned as after 4 years if you are still in the bottom 5, you have failedWell, we’ll still have a decent chance for a top 5 pick next season . . . our
I give them 2 more years after this one to compete . Some contracts need gone.It's much, much more likely we're at the exact same spot next season than we are pushing for a playoff spot.
A lot of people have grossly miscalculated the shit sandwich The Charlatan left us with.
If we're looking like we're starting to turn the corner, then it's worth revisiting.I would consider buying out Gallagher after 24-25.

He isn’t blocking anythingIf we're looking like we're starting to turn the corner, then it's worth revisiting.
But if we still have no forward depth in Laval and we're still bad, what's the point? It's not like he's blocking someone the way Hoffman/Edmundsson were.
such a great rebuttalNope
that may be buy are we not paying Hughes to get us out of it?It's much, much more likely we're at the exact same spot next season than we are pushing for a playoff spot.

it's not that he isn't helping the team, he is actually hurting it. Martin's eye roll on the penalty last night said it all.Because he’ll be fucken terrible (worse than now), a veritable penalty machine, and drain the life out of the young core. Can’t have that. Some contracts end next year, and Petry comes if the books. I would at least consider it.
