It appears they've got a third line scorer (Tierney), a bottom pairing D (DeMelo), a 19th pick in a fairly average draft (Norris) and a young AHL scorer (Balcers). The 1st round pick will probably be a pretty high pick too. I would have definitely expected a better return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gershwin Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Massively biased but Kotkaniemi (Habs' 'off-the-board pick at 3 in the '18 draft) looks like he could be something special. Great vision and poise for an 18 year old. Needs to bulk up a little and his skating could be better but he doesn't look out of place in the late preseason line up.

Gershwin Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Decent start to the season for the Habs despite last night's OT loss. Thought we dominated most of the game and we pretty unlucky to lose. Some proper iffy calls in the first gave the Leafs loads of powerplay time - it was as if the refs just wanted to see Toronto's much publicised first powerplay unit! Delighted to see Alzner scratched too. The team looked so quick out there without him. Now on to Boston... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a problem they've been trying to solve for a couple of years, without success. The approach they're taking this year seems to be that if they can keep the puck in the opposing end it will take the pressure off the defence. That didn't work too well last night.
