We're just hoping for a real prospect we can watch develop.<br /><br />Landing Nail would be great, and him on the left side of Pleks is a dream. The guy deserves a goal scorer for a change. The only problem I see on that line is Gionta. The guy is aging and small, and that would be a pretty small second line. <br /><br />I would try and trade Gionta for either a top 6 forward or a 4 or 5 RF d-man. Failing that, I would seriously consider putting him on the third line with Eller and Bourque, and bring in a big RFA for the second line with Pleks and Nail.<br /><br />The discussion is likely moot since we are likely going 2 or 3 and picking one of the Gs. If we do that, we let them develop in Hamilton until Pleks' contract is up.<br /><br />And whatever happens, Pleks needs some wingers, and I don't see Gionta as the guy unless we can find a big skilled guy for the left wing.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16545451518922765571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-88687301490411829752012-04-03T07:22:26.272-11:002012-04-03T07:22:26.272-11:00Given that the Habs management knew they were pote...Given that the Habs management knew they were potentially a lottery team since the new year I would hope they were preparing for a top 5 pick. Given that Grigorenko and Galchenyuk play for the Quebec Remparts and the Sarnia Sting, respectively, I would also hope that the Habs scouts know both intimately. If you can’t recruit out of your own back yard there is something terribly wrong. Remember, we are talking about Timmins here and not the new GM. Unless the new GM goes off the board this draft is totally on Timmins.<br /><br />I would like to believe that Timmins has learned from him mistakes. He has polluted the NHL with a lot of his draft picks over the past few years.<br /> <br />As for asking who is going to play on Plek’s wings? I’d ask who is going to center Gallagher?<br /><br /><br />HHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-75099266374671052082012-04-03T04:54:22.054-11:002012-04-03T04:54:22.054-11:00I would hope most will not expect an 18 year old t...I would hope most will not expect an 18 year old to show anything but promise. Even Guy Lafluer took a couple of years to start really contributing. I agree with Kyle if we do not get Nail the second pick is fraught with danger. I wonder if all the sniping at Grigorenko is not intended to move him down the list, where the scout doing the sniping will pick him immediately. Hopefully even if he is not with the Habs, Patrick can give us a fair read on his potential. Of course the best is we win the lottery and then its an easy choice.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162783936999869984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-15520592594023096182012-04-03T02:03:00.167-11:002012-04-03T02:03:00.167-11:00This all makes a ton of sense, and I think most pr...This all makes a ton of sense, and I think most pragmatic and reasonable Habs fans realize this. But I dare say that there is a majority that expects whoever the Habs draft with their first selection to stride in and put up big numbers as of next October. I have no idea how a kid in Montreal is supposed to handle that kind of pressure & expectation.<br /><br />One thing is for sure: I would not want to be the next GM. I'm assuming that the Habs will not win the lottery and will not have a shot at Yakupov, leaving Grigorenko and Galchenyuk as the top 2 choices for centermen....if the Habs want to draft for that position. One (Grigorenko) has had his work ethic questioned, the other has been plagued by serious knee issues this year. Pick the wrong one, and your first pick as GM is a bad one - in a year where you held the hammer for the team's first top 3 pick in 30 years. Not a good start.Kyle Rousselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16706378133759064138noreply@blogger.com
