Rebuild fatigue. .. make a trade early promote from within?
im enjoying watching them lose now….i got a new rule that went u mess up a top 5 pick i tune u out until u get fired..i did it twcie i realize but i hadnt created the rule yet and i was doing good stuff in between these clowns are messing up left and right and no 1 is even attacking them…is not messing up top 5 pick too much too ask?reinbacher torn both his acls since that draft …hes no longer gone b good
Great takes. A lot of selective memory in fan base on whole MM situation pre-draft. A season like this with wild swings in performance gives fans with the benefit of 20:20 hindsight lots of talking points. Sadly, these same fans could crush Demidov with expectations far beyond what a 20 year old should be expected to deliver. Cheers!
Love it ! Thanks for the early morning Saturday show. Appreciate it
Lets not forget. Next year we will have 3 more top 5 picks in our line up potentially with this years, Demidov and Reinbacher. Our team will look a whole lot different with a lot more talent
No trade will help now.Next year will be better.Dont sell the yet
January schedule is tough , they will be lucky to win 2 games , by then they are out of race .Top 10 pick for sure !
lets let Reinbacher play a few games (200) before we can truly judge him…. we are drafting 18yr olds and expect them to rip up the league before they play a shift…. 18….
We 💯 need a top 4 Pick. Wtf
As long as Marty us our coach this is gonna be the theme. Fonal answer… top 4 Pick. Fire the coach, big off season and start fresh next year.

Sell the deadweight. Anderson, Dvorak , MAthesone, Savard all need to go.
You might not be able to do it again but I’m hoping that they do. Too many holes to fill. Making the playoffs for what? Participation ribbon? Berg era is over. I left that behind
This was an excellent episode
I’m of the Moneyball philosophy, “If you don’t win the last game of the season who cares”. If they can take another game changing player then I do not care if they tank again. This team is filled with rookies or players with limited experience so debacles are going to continue until we have a really good team with a legitimate superstar.
A total deconstruction is happening right in front of us. Hughes is a failure along with MSL.
they are tanking organically, the roster blows, you have a few decent pieces, best talent is in college and russia, they play 5 LD everynight, 2 always on the wrong side and have avg at best goaltending, what do people expect is going to happen, still 2 more years of pain
Michkov wanted to go to Philly bc of the Rocky movies
Phily was willing to pay for Mitchkov to come over and Montreal wasn't. Do you believe Mitchkov paid his team with his own money?
The NHL does not want the KHL to
Demand money for every Russian player drafted. Montreal was afraid of cosequences from the league and Phily were willing to take the risk.
The problem is Slafbustsky And his lazy ass that were not in the mix. He is supposed to pull his own weight and he is not.
The truth is Montreal has so many holes they need some more young talent. Another top3 would be good. They are but making the playoffs for another 2-3 years anyway
Wrong draft to tank in , again. Last year or the year before would of bin ok, mind you 2 yrs ago we had a chance to take best player in the draft amd passed on him for reinbacher…. next years draft would be good to tank…this year is not a good year to win the draft
на самом деле Мичков отказал только Анахайму и Аризоне. Монреаль сами прошли мимо него
Montreal only wants poster boy to talk in center ice after a victory… Michkov doesn’t have this profile.
Plain and simple…
Montreal is the issue again and again
Here’s my super unpopular opinion on Montreal’s rebuild lol I’m not a fan of what Hughes and Gorton has done.
I did not like Slaf pick although he seems like a great kid. I would have preferred Cooley who clearly was the most skilled player of that draft. I did not like the trade for Kirby Dach, an unproven player who had been injured a lot already and with the 13th pick, they could have picked Frank Nazar who in my opinion would have been drafted first if he was taller.
I did not like going for Newhook either. A speedy forward yes, but lacks finishing and consistency. I thought it was a bad move to trade two picks for him.
Not drafting Michkov was a mistake. It’s your job to make it appealing to play for Montreal and do everything it takes for him to stay. Worst case scenario, he ends up leaving but gave you great hockey for a few years, best case scenario he enjoys it here and stay. Leonard was also available and drafting Reinbacher, a player with a history of injuries to knees before the draft, was putting him up for harsh criticism by the fans and up for comparison for the rest of his career. He might end up being injured all the time and not be an impact player and not make the team. Those are all possibilities. He might end up being an impact right shot D, but still leave less of an impact than Michkov. Choosing Reinbacher over Michkov and Leonard always made me think about trading Taylor Hall for Adam Larson. A terrible trade.
This year they got lucky with Demidov and let’s hope he’s as good as he’s expected to be otherwise this rebuild could be very long.
St-Louis is also not a good coach as far as I’m concerned and they are better options out there.
I’ll get hate for this I’m sure but I just don’t understand what the administration is doing. Montreal has to stop being so afraid of superstars and players with personalities and start taking risks and pick talent over anything else, that’s how you win in sport, by having the best players available, not just by selecting the best attitude… Attitude is important but it’s not everything.
Thanx for the video 🙂
I heard that Mitchkov's father (who he was quite close to) was a Flyers fan and that Mitchkov wanted to honour that. I cannot verify that though
