Seeing the Blackhawks implode explains much about Bergevin's desire to import Chicago Culture to Montreal

We're all learning that Bowman can only work his magic when salary cap does not matter and/or there are several teams around the league willing to bail you out constantly.

I'm fairly sure that face has been in my nightmares a lot lately.


So... what does it take to get a GM job? Buying the right guy coffee? Making up poo poo on your resume? Just walking in to the head office of an NHL club and just telling everyone you're in charge knowing no one will bother to check?

Or tell Vegas that they have a deal and see if Vegas is willing to throw a compensatory pick in exchange?

Or anything besides "nothing."

I'm terrified they're going to flub the 7OA pick. I can't stop thinking about it.

Same. On the other hand it would be cool to see the Rangers nail a top 10 pick for the first time in the past 30 years. (Brian Leetch went #9 overall in 1986.) It is confusing and unfamiliar territory for a Rangers fan.

not sure this is the draft to do it in, although i think people who are treating this draft like it's 1999 are underrating it.

hey, remember 1999? that's the last time the rangers had two first round picks! anyone remember how that worked out?

You guys are nuts.

The caps are a win now team. They have a 2-3 year window. Oshie at 5.75 is amazing during that window. (e: amazing considering Oshie was a UFA.)

Bad contracts can always be moved.

Do they announce the trades from the day at the start of the draft? I can't remember and want to see Chicago's reaction to today's action.
