  Well not to split hairs but maybe your frustration should be directed at Marc Bergevin. Michael Bournival and Louis Leblanc were left with the Aces through those injuries. I wouldn't necessarily agree that the playoffs are the right time to have them serve as replacements but if that's what you're looking for the option was in fact there.

  That's kinda where I'm coming from here. I'd bet a third rounder gets it done with a reasonable GM. That's five spots in the bottom third of the first round. Maybe our second again is more realistic but I'd like to think Dallas' third gets that done. I wouldn't give up the Nashville or Calgary picks in a deal that didn't land me a first round pick or a roster player that I wanted.

  If Subban keeps scoring near a point per game pace and can maintain the effective defensive play he has he's worth every penny of $7 million annually and will be considered the best defenseman in the game, rightfully so.

  It obviously depends on who holds the 20th pick but the 25th pick and a third round pick would probably be enough to move up five spots. If I were Marc Bergevin I'd be more inclined to use the 34th and 36th picks to get a second first rounder.

  I hear what you're saying but it's near impossible to have a farm system in that kind of shape. Players who are capable of replacing important regulars are important regulars 99% of the time. I'd settle for having the best NHL team instead of the best AHL team. :)

  Gauthier is actually the eighth ranked North American skater with CSS which probably slots him around 13th to 14th overall in their eyes give or take a couple of picks. He's 20th with ISS. It would be a huge upset if he made it to the Habs.

  Which organization can replace Eller, Emelin, Gionta, Pacioretty, Price and Prust?
