Jonathan Drouin hurt again. Did not look ready when he came back a few weeks ago. His season started off fast but it's been a bust since.

Some rumblings the Habs might pilfer CSKA Moscow this offseason. They're already looking to bring in Romanov, but they're also looking at his defensive partner Alexey Marchenko and scorer Konstantin Okulov. Grigorenko and Nesterov looking at NHL deals this offseason and Kaprizov might jump over, so I expect CSKA to be busy this offseason. I could see CSKA landing Galchenyuk and any other Russian RFA or UFA that's not happy with what they're getting stateside.

Grigorenko? Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffftttt...good luck with THAT. :haha:

If you thought Mike Ribeiro was a soft, slow perimeter player, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

The Habs aren't interested, but I've heard Minny is...

Another blown two-goal lead! Habs lose to the Rangers. Man, this team sucks.

We drafted Kotten Kandy the year they drafted Hughes...

Le sigh.

Habs could have first overall, in Montreal and fucking draft a russian instead of that kid who's playing in Rimouski...

"Transparent" interview with Bergevin, with the team PR director sitting next to him: https://plus.lapresse.ca/screens/c0842b ... ent=Screen

Getting a serious, non-contradictory answer from him is like pulling teeth. All we get here:

Sees Romanov as a 3rd pairing defenceman next year. OK.

Jordan Harris seems more likely to jump to the AHL than Cole Caufield. He's trying to dampen enthusiasm, especially after what happened to Poehling, who he sees as a defensive centre, max.

He considers 2012-18 to be one era for the team, and they've been redoing/resetting/rebuilding? the team ever since.

Kotkaniemi needs to stop skipping leg day.

Erik Cole sucks.

Where is Koktaniemi now? AHL? What happened there?

Describing the team at the time:

"Internally there was a bit of a bickering. The environment was not healthy. It was all wrong between them. [Erik] Cole was arguing with so-and-so. I thought we were going to make adjustments to give this group a chance."

Geez, what a dick. No wonder he always strikes out with free agents.

We've now reached the point where Karl Alzner is actually an underrated AHL player. They should play him the rest of the way in Montreal, let him potentially rebuild his value. Mete is done for the season, anyway.

Bergevin says Claude Julien will be back next season.

It doesn't get much lower than Sergachev beating Weber in a fight...

With the cap potentially hitting 88M (more likely 84) and watching Panarin in NY, I am in the camp of believing the Habs should just throw 12-13M at Taylor Hall. Fuck it, you can draft like a beast for the next decade and still not hit a talent like Taylor.

Well if you get Taylor you'll be guaranteed the 1st overall pick for like, the next decade.

Listless, depleted Habs fall to the Panthers.

Kotkaniemi hurt his spleen in Cleveland and ended up in the hospital. His wretched season is over.

Sorry, I forgot to answer this one. It's been a disastrous sophomore season for the former 3rd overall pick.

A string bean his first season, he came into camp a little more toned. Alas it was only in the upper body area and his legs were still twigs (not a joke). He had a hard time staying upright in the corner due to this loss of body equilibrium and was wiping out during every puck battle. As a result, he suffered a groin injury that sapped him of whatever strength he had.

Missed some time, came back and was better for a bit. Then he suffered a concussion. His playing time became more sporadic as Julien entered playoff desperation mode before he was sent back to the AHL altogether. He exploded in the AHL, going PPG for 13 games before suffering a serious spleen injury in a game against Cleveland. Ended up in the hospital, season over.

Another arguably mishandled prospect by the Habs. Oh well, not like they're constantly talking about building thru the draft...

To be fair it sure looks like Sergachev can throw down with the best of 'em. Jake McCabe took him on after a hit on Eichel back on New Year's Eve, and I think he may have even tussled with Chara in that fight-filled B's/Bolts affair recently.

Tatar out indefinitely with a UBI. Should've traded him!
