What a shitty prospect pool
LoganHutbacher
Just fucking crumple it up in a ball and toss it.

“Habs fans always overhype their prospects!”
Meanwhile THN had this crap 14th in the NHL and a B-grade lol
mikegimik
Grade B? Yikes.

jesus this is brutal to look at

I feel better looking back in this, I remember thinking it was a shit prospect pool at the time so it reinforces my confidence in this current pool.

Earliest luck was 22, we were gonna have a shit pool.
Crazy part is.
Mccarron and tinordi were both nhlers last year.
foxtrot1027
Although the prospect pool was really really bad. It is funny to see how horny the hockey world was for size even 10 years ago lol

I’m Eskimo bros with Condon but other than that, yikers

Holy shit. Looking back now, this was garbage

This was around when I started seeing cracks in the Habs. Players weren’t graduating, seemed they all had low ceilings.
Annnnnd the die hards / sycophants were screaaaming about how good the Habs were at drafting and every guy was a steal. “The Habs draft amazing” “But they don’t develop….” “That’s not the point” lolol

I looked at when we picked these guys. No picks within the top 20 in their draft year. Low chances any of these guys were gonna be difference makers anyway.
And makes me excited we’ve got earlier first-round picks in the group:
Late firsts and later rounds gems sprinkled in there as they should be!
HabbyKoivu
Ahhh yes. The dark times.

It’s pretty telling that the fifth best prospect is a 23 year old dman who “needs more time to develop”.

10 way tie for 10th
Dramatic_Sea5076
Yikes. This was peak when it came to Habs’ worst drafting era.
Le8ronJames
That’s a rough list lmao. That’s why (even tho our current prospects are significantly better on paper) I still don’t go full on hype train with our current pool. What a decade of Bergevin development will do to you
KantanaBrigantei
That’s a miss on Scherbak. Wish he had entered our system during the MSL era.

Martin Reway was suppossed to be what Slaf is rn to slovak hockey. Such a briliant player with such a troubled mind, its quite sad.

Juulsen was unlucky, concussions set back his career. I’m happy he found a way back into the NHL

He will be an impactful 2nd line winger at the very least
Cant miss.
Famously said this about Scherbak LOL
And we got a B team rank !?!?!?
All those guys went through our development – which sucked ass. Lehkonen didn’t and he did well for himself.
It’s entirely possible the draft class was good but MB nuked it.
