MB doesn't scout colleges, NCAA, Europe, OHL, WHL, QMJHL, etc....

GMs might take in a few games, but they are always watching NHL teams, thats why they hire scouts.

You don't get the time to see these kids unless your team is shit and you are tanking.

 

[GrandWazoo]

A second line centre who plays against other teams top lines, but puts up 50 points.

Thats probably his ceiling.

I'd take that if it ever happens.

 

[Habsy]

No kidding

 

[Habspatrol]

They compared him to Jordan Staal. If he develops into what Staal is these days I think we'll all be pretty happy.

 

[Habsy]

Darn right. I don't see it though. Probably because of our track record in the first and Minnesota players.

 

[xposbrad]

Well since he's a very limited player, at least our expectations aren't that high so even when he doesn't meet them we won't be so disappointed.

It's called delegating. MB's job is too smooth talk other GMs into making deals. I bet half the time Dudley is the guy who says "call this GM and get a sense on how they feel about player x"

 

[Habs-25]

and some compare him to Patrice Bergeron

Max was a nobody when we drafted him as well. Had shitty numbers. Now look at him

He had much better numbers compare to Poehling though.

 

[Habspatrol]

He had much better numbers compare to Poehling though.

Tough to compare. At 17 Max was still playing high school hockey.

Very impressive when the playoffs begin

and some compare him to Patrice Bergeron

Patrice Bergeron wasn't Patrice Bergeron at 17. Was a 2nd round pick.

Patrice Bergeron wasn't Patrice Bergeron at 17. Was a 2nd round pick.

So Poehling is better? Nice.

Patrice Bergeron became Patrice Bergeron under Julien's tutelage

small sample size. how did Julien do with Seguin?

One could easily say Bergeron made Julien look like a top tier coach. #chooseyournarrative

The Seggy crap was all Neely and Jacobs who wanted him out of town for not being a BRUIN soldier just like we flipped PK.

Seguin would've done just fine over time had he not decided to try and bang old man Jacobs' underage granddaughter.

 

[BKerr]

Without going through the individual details of each player.

Seguin, Kessel, Hamilton on one side of the ledger

Bergeron, Krejci, Marchand, Pastranak, Carlo, Lucic on the other side of the ledger.

Sure there are some misses, but there are more hits.
