Teams eliminated in the first two rounds are re-seeded based on whether they won the division and their regular-season record. Since the Habs won their division, they can only improve their draft position if Pittsburgh and Chicago get knocked out this round, because they finished with a better record than us. Anaheim getting bounced in the first-round moved us up one spot. I think the highest we could pick is 22nd. We're more likely to pick 25th. - Comment on Budaj will be in goal against Jets
To Loonie (and others who are unhappy about standing pat): Since Bergevin arrived in Montreal, he has been in evaluation mode for this team. He inherited a team with many parts that he probably never would have selected or signed. He got rid of Gomez, but this team still has some players that are not in his plans that he would like to get rid of. This is a shortened season. The team entered with very low expectations. While we are doing well now and could make a run, I don't think Bergevin was willing to make big sweeping changes just yet, because he is still trying to put his stamp on the team. I think we will get a much better idea of what he is looking to accomplish in the next offseason when he will be able to draft 6 times in the first 3 rounds and then buy out Kaberle and trade whoever he doesn't think fits on this squad. This (half) season is all about evaluating the younger players on our team and seeing which veterans should be here next year. Whatever else happens is gravy. I don't see how anyone can compare this management group to the prvious regime. Do you people not remember us giving up 2nd round picks for marginal players at the deadline who merely bolstered our "depth" (players like Dominic Moore and James Wisniewski). Those guys have since left and we are no closer to a Cup. How about we let Timmins have one more draft like last year's and allow our brightest prospects to be a little bit more mature before really going for it? In the meantime, maybe chemistry and the scoring depth we have right now could be enough to surprise people in a shortened season. - Comment on Price burns 2,336 calories in a game; Drewiske will face Flyers
People, we did the right thing today. Before this season started, none of us expected us to be close to where we are. The biggest reason we are doing so well is the chemistry of the team and the change in philosophy. Once we get Bourque and Diaz back, we will be fine. Kristo could be a nice surprise call-up as well. Drewiske is a good depth move. We held on to all of our picks. We can now move up in the draft or let Timmins pick 6 times in the first 90 selections. I'm good with that. Whatever we do in the playoffs is gravy. - Comment on Price burns 2,336 calories in a game; Drewiske will face Flyers
Instantly the fastest skater on our team if he plays with the Habs. Great hands. Able to make creative plays at high speed. Good vision and passing ability. Also a two-way player who has played PK throughout college. I see him playing a couple of games in Hamilton, maybe with LeBlanc (they played together when they were younger) to get Louis' confidence up, and then a call-up to the Habs to play with Eller and Galchenyuk. Boom. - Comment on Price burns 2,336 calories in a game; Drewiske will face Flyers
I agree. This move is a big win for Kekalainen IMO. - Comment on Price burns 2,336 calories in a game; Drewiske will face Flyers
It's a pretty decent team nonetheless and they will only get better once Granlund and their other young guys take on bigger roles once they develop. Lots of top end talent on the team and quality young players on the way up. Seems like a dangerous team to me.
