agreedI don’t recall the bashing of Slaf having ever been a majority thing. There were a handful of opinion leaders and this past season sent them all off into the sunset.

It might not have been a majority but they were pretty loud…I don’t recall the bashing of Slaf having ever been a majority thing. There were a handful of opinion leaders and this past season sent them all off into the sunset.
YesIf I base it on the 98.5 FM poll question currently, in Mario Languesale’s show — who would you want to sign between Stammer and Marchessault?
Don’t we want Calgary to be crap next year for draft? Throw them an anchor as they drown.Doesn't take much to know Calgary needs D, they just moved Hanafin and Tanev and they finished the season with five minimum salary Ds on their roster (Habs D players on ELC are paid more).

Hope he doesn't move Wifi

Curious...............can there be trades during the playoffs, or does Gary call taboo on that?
?Never said it was. but please when you see ones talk against Barron, chime to their comments
Sorry I've never seen you explain your side to other posters I must have missed it
we will see, I hope it works out with the young guy
I have a feeling that Barron is a bust. we will see. but he seems to be a weak link
The majority of posters in the Slaf thread from Sept - ~dec/Jan were heavily critical of both the pick & the approach to his development. Perhaps there was a silent majority who just didn't bother commenting, but IIRC very few were voicing confidence in him being the right pick or on his development path.I don’t recall the bashing of Slaf having ever been a majority thing.

Both non-playoff team and playoff team can make deal, but players traded by a playoff team can't play in the playoff.Curious...............can there be trades during the playoffs, or does Gary call taboo on that?
It's my opinion I just don't see enough of him to make a difference I could be wrong?
Perhaps you forgot the post you made (below ) that I initially replied to
This was the assessment I responded to...
If I understand you correctly, he seems to be a weak link & you feel he is a bust because some posters question his top 6 potential?
Strange way to base your opinion of a player but to each their own
Habs get the better pick if both are not bottom 10. They get the worst of the 2 if both are bottom 10 Need Calagary to finish just outside the bottom 10 unless Florida crashes.Hughes won't. Has to be pry away value. Doubt he even trades Xhekaj for Zegras straight up.
Doesn't matter. We get the worse pick from the Panthers or Flames. Both teams would have to fall flat on their face.
Panthers do have cap issues to sort out this summer though.
I feel like you. I dont see G as a weak spot for now. Last year at the same time, the idea of Askarov would have been different not knowing how Monty, Primeau and Allen would do. But after drafting Fowler (and his season in the NCAA) and seeing both Primeau and Monty do good enough last season, i'm more incline to take a wait and see approach with G for the next 2 seasons. Unless NSH is willing to give him up for free
That said... we know that there are hole at the C/W, so I prefer we address know deficiencies to potential ones.
Hell yeah I'd trade essentially scraps for a great goalie prospectIf the Preds were interested, would you trade Primeau, Jets 1st, Barron, for Askarov?
Askarov has more potential to most fans but when I look at their AHL numbers, it's closer than I would imagined. Very curious to see who's better when we look back 5 years from now. What is the gap between these two at the NHL level.
3 year age gap so it's reasonable to assume Askarov is on a better pace in development.
You won't know until you try it for more than 10 games.
Absolutely not. Habs have 2 or 3 great prospects. Don't need to waste assets on another one.Hell yeah I'd trade essentially scraps for a great goalie prospect
I advocated patience on the basis that he wasn’t drafted for what he’d do then but in 2-3 years from that time. In a strange way, I ended up being pleasantly wrong — he arrived much sooner.The majority of posters in the Slaf thread from Sept - ~dec/Jan were heavily critical of both the pick & the approach to his development.
