It's just like Ottawa fans to take credit for another team's success.

Is he waving goodbye because he knows he's getting bought out and his career is over?

If you lose Kessel and Phaneuf (which is likely a big thing they're factoring in), then your future isn't so bright.

PK arguably has the most potential of any D between our 3 teams.
Price arguably has the most potential of any goalie between our 3 teams.
Galchenyuk arguably has the most potential of any forward between our 3 teams.
If they all reach their potential, then we certainly could be that high overall (editor's note: I wouldn't necessarily argue for all 3 of those cases, but it's not as stupid an argument as Ryan > Kessel for any of those 3 statements above). It likely won't happen, but it's not insane to think the Habs have the best potential of all 3 of our teams.

Karlsson's the best defenceman in the league and the gap is only going to get wider.
Maybe once upon a time but he's choked too often in the playoffs for him to be able to make that case anymore.
He's good but one player's potential doesn't make a team.

I would also disagree with all 3 of those.

no one outside of montreal or the idiot staff at espn (that noted hotbed of hockey knowledge) thinks montreal is the 5th best team in the league.
No he's not... and there's no gap to get wider.
Carey Price just turned 26. At that age Craig Anderson was putting up a mediocre AHL season
I believe the topic is based on potential...
