Michel Therrien

[Rolex]

Tinordi should be able to get a spot as #6-7 dmen on this team.

Let him make his mistakes...let him learn.

I doubt we sign Petry, so I see our dmen lineup as:

Subban
Markov
Beaulieu
Emelin
Gilbert
Pateryn
Tinordi

Not really great...but not bottom of the league either.

Yep, our window is rapidly closing, and Tampa is only getting better......Bishop isn't even their best goalie. Their backup is apparently a stud.....look at Ducks who have Anderson and Gibson....

These past 2 years were the moment to go for it, but Price got injured last 2 years in playoffs. Ohhh well, it sucks, but such is life sometimes.

That won't be the opening night group. If not Petry, MB will acquire someone else for the D.

 

[Habsy]

I thought Markov is finished?

Talking to the wrong person. I've always maintained his minutes need reduced. He's not "finished".

 

[Habsy]

You're more easily impressed than I am.

I'm not a raging pessimist.

 

[Krustchev]

I'm not a raging pessimist.

I'm not a pessimist at all. I think we're a couple of players away. Unfortunately those players are Toews and Kane-like. It would help, however, if 27 emerges.

 

[XPOFAN]

27 will emerge

 

[XPOFAN]

I agree that it's "not bad" but I don't think it's "darn good" as some here seem to believe. Markov is old and on the decline, NB is unproven, and Petry has limitations. Th e entire D group would be so much better if Tinordi could develop into what we want him to be and supplant 74. Plus, Gilbert sucks, although he was better in the playoffs than during the season. But he's also old.

I know Emelin is overpaid, but he is a pretty decent d

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

This is friggin' brilliant.

 

[Rolex]

27 will emerge

As a great winger ?

 

[GrandWazoo]

As a great winger ?

I'd still take that.

 

[XPOFAN]

I'd still take that.

Me too but I prefer he emerges as a great centre

 

[GrandWazoo]

For sure.

I am gonna say this and many of you are gonna flame me because he got 110 points but .....

Michel Therrien has too much power.

 

[Habspatrol]

Definitely seemed like he had some influence on this draft.

 

[CH1]

I don't buy it. History has shown that MT won't be around when this draft hits the NHL.

MT has enough on his plate without forecasting the future of teenagers playing in Sweden.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Jeezus Christ, really people?? Everything that this organization is doing wrong is because of MT and everything that they're doing well is because of somebody else. Now we're even going to blame bad draft picks on MT. Ridiculous much?

 

[GrandWazoo]

I don't buy it. History has shown that MT won't be around when this draft hits the NHL.

MT has enough on his plate without forecasting the future of teenagers playing in Sweden.

Probably why the PP didn't improve, he was too busy scouting in Europe.

 

[CH1]

I heard MT was instrumental in getting laces back on our jerseys

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

So if the draft turns out, does that mean Therrien is brilliant?

 

[CH1]

No, the we'll know he had nothing to do with it.
