    Queue up the controversary. For some reason I thought she'd be a Habs fan...

    It's photo shopped, just Vegas trying to get Habs off their game, it didn't work. As a Leafs fan you know very well that silly memes don't get Habs off their game.

    Staying with the GNFL, back in 2017 leading up to the amateur draft I offered Madisons Kennedys a 2018 1st round amateur for Montreal Canadiens' , Charles Hudon.

     

    This recently inspired me to try and do a trade tree (a la Steve Dangle) to try and see just what i threw out the window. Because GM Raken65 makes so may trades I can't be sure if he didn't again trade the pick that belonged to me, however I believe he took Brady Tkachuk with his 1st round pick in 2018.

     

    Of course there are others, but this one still stings, and I still cheer for Hudon to put it all together one day.

     

    With the Habs, or any team for that matter.

     

    Cheers.

     

    Correct, I surprisingly kept that pick which turned out to be 3rd overall and selected Tkachuk. 

     

    I then made the wonderful decision a few months later to trade Tkachuk along with Jake Allen for Varlamov and Owen Tippett. I no longer have either of those players and am now to irritated to see what lesser value I got for them lol.

    2017 Inaugural GNFL draft and my introduction to Capwise. I had never been in this type of pool, had been doing pools since the late '80s but only point pools with almost no trading. Ralphdog kept bugging me to join Capwise and just to shut him up I joined, I figured I'd hate it and quit after a year.

     

    I was not prepared for the Inaugural draft, I had 3rd pick overall.

     

    McDavid went 1st, Crosby 2nd.3rd pick...I freaking took Erik Karlsson cause I was used to point only leagues and at the time he was a top point producing defenseman. I'm still trying to recover from that.

     

    I've made a lot of bad trades since then, too many too mention but trading Brady Tkachuk so the other guy would take Jake Allen off my hands immediately comes to mind as a horsesh#$ trade.

     

    Back to Capwise, yeah I didn't wanna join and I wasn't crazy about it initially but 4 years later,after the love of my 7 year old daughter, Capwise is the love of my life !!

    Eh I think since we use AAV instead of cap hit, ELCs aren't inherently better... you could almost argue that if they get to RFA bidding with less NHL experience, their value increases. Time will tell i guess. 

    Yeah fair point getting to RFA with less experience could increase value.

     

    Personally though I prefer having them on the cheap for that extra year.

    If Gallant is ineligible because of his language skills, I say we really go all in on the French thing. Have a test of their knowledge of the classics. Whichever candidate can write the best critical essay comparing the works of Sartre, Molière, and Voltaire gets the job.

    I would think the writing of the essays would be more based on the works of Rejean Tremblay and Bertrand Raymond than those you mentioned.

  21. Kovalchuk to the Habs

    in NHL News & Rumors

    This reminds me of when Habs signed Radulov, virtually everybody scoffed and that worked out pretty well albeit for 1 year

     

    Habs have 4 of their Top 9 hurt right now, it's a no risk move for the rest of this year, there is virtually no way they will do any "tanking" so this could help especially on the PP and if it doesn't help who cares it cost nothing to try.

     

    We as fans in Montreal over think everything and are so easy to criticize ,we signed a spare part for 700K, let's wait a shift or at least a period before we all bitch about how bad Kovy is.
