Bergevin said he had a deal in place to get a top 10 pick but the other team backed out that really sucks.

Wanted Morin apparently, and was going to take Subban if Van didn't.

:lol Schneider

This isn't a bad decision. He is a back up but he'll learn from the best and unlike Vancouver, he is for sure going to be their no. 1. Ain't no long term contract here.
It was a fantastic deal by Lou and I think maybe NJ will reciprocate this some day just like Kaberle for a 1st and Colbourne.

I also think you can't give up on Seguin. He's still a great player but there seems to be some bad influences around him and I think he maybe a touch too immature with all the money and notoriety to focus on his game. I thought he was a better pick than Hall, but so far Hall is proving me wrong.

Leafs drafted a swiss player. And I can't find anything on him.

Conclusion: Hidden Superstar Swiss Datsyuk-lite Player.

I'm sure smelly knows him somehow.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

I'm really glad Bob Murray keeps wanting to draft Scott Neidermayer in every first round these past few years.

Oh really? I'm glad they didn't then, I'm not big on Morin.

 

[lamaroo]

Would have taken him at 25...

Could have been Dallas or something, I bet they didn't expect Nichuskin at 10.

 

[Red_Man]

Bergevin considers #Habs interest in Lecavalier to be "pretty high"

I don't see how this happens unless one of Pleks / DD Is moved.

That's half-way to retirement! Trade him.

Lol

 

[Kave_Man]

We drafted a dude names Chris Clapperton? Worth it for his name alone.

I'm still waiting on Greg McKegg to make it to the Leafs.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Three LWs and a goalie. WTF Yzerman.

 

[lamaroo]

McCarron could end up playing in London this season.

Your D is fine...

Sorry Z ):

 

[Red_Man]

McCarron could end up playing in London this season.

I hope he does, he would do well under their system and it would help develop his game like they did with Tinordi.

 

[gutter_trash]

LOVING this Fucale kid already. Actually has a personality and seems like a mature kid for his age.

Habs did the right thing on getting him and investing on a future goalie that may bare fruit.

Flyers, lol, I have no clue why they didn't go for him

The more I read on him, the more I'm shocked he was still there.

Detroit grabs Mcnulty, should help with the crime there.

Flames pick another high schooler..lol

Hey one of those wingers is really good.

Jeremy Gregoire to MTL.

6,0" Centre, scored 9 goals in 18 Q playoff games.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Gauthier, who says he models his game after Jordan Staal, said he was surprised and excited to be taken by Toronto.

Aw, ffs.

We got a kid named McNulty.

Lol what? 11 would have been a massive reach for Fucale. I'm happy with Stolarz in the OHL and getting Hagg at 41.

 

[Alucard]

Catching up on the news from today.

Cory Schneider is a Devil? Goddamn! The heir apparent is officially in New Jersey's system! What a steal for that organization. Great insurance policy for Brodeur.

If Letang does re-sign for 7.25 million, I'm going to laugh at what the Habs have to pay Subban. Or maybe PK will just be a "good guy" and take the hometown discount.

ArponBasu:
Asked Bergevin if Holmgren came to see him in 1st round to tell him 11th pick was off the table: “No, he was making fun of my suit.”

Does he get asked about the whereabouts of The Bunk daily or just weekly?

He's no Michael McCarron.

Bergevin said their interest in Vinny would be around an 8 out of 10. It's hard to believe our chances aren't really high then, he would a great guy for Gally to be around for a couple seasons, but there's still the issues of Pleks / DD

Lecavalier on the Leafs makes more sense than on the Habs IMO. Guaranteed first line minutes with one of the best right wingers (Kessel) in the league and JVR that likes to crash the net. He'll have Orr and McLaren to protect him too. Kadri grew up admiring Lecavalier so he'd be a great mentor as well...

Peter Chiarelli on Seguin Trade

“He’s got to commit his mind and focus to the one task at hand,” Chiarelli said. “He’s got to become more of a professional. You know what? I can say that about a lot of 21-year-olds. I know he got criticized for playing on the periphery and all that stuff. He did. He’s got to commit to being a professional and focusing on the game. Simple as that. He does that, we don’t expect him to be crashing and banging. Just play your game.”

Local perspective on Seguin and Chiarelli's comments from Twitter.

Chiarelli on trade talk possibly scaring Seguin straight: “I hope it does. If it doesn’t, I’d be more concerned."

Fluto Shinzawa ‏@GlobeFluto 7h
Posters correct in noting Bruins likely not angry about Seguin leak. Player needs wakeup call.

Chiarelli on Seguin: "He's 21 and I expect big things from him. I wasn't satisfied with his year and he wasn't either..." ^CS

Kevin Paul Dupont ‏@GlobeKPD 1h
My read: Bruins worked vy hard to deal Seguin, 29 other teams disinclined.

 

[Quick]

Lecavalier always wanted to be a Leaf growing up in Quebec.

Lolwut. Vinny grew up in Quebec watching the Habs and wanting to play for them, and he would get top line minutes on the team that was 2nd in the East and getting better. I'm pretty sure he doesn't care about Kadri, and Orr and Mclaren will never attract someone to the leafs.

 

[CrankyJay]

Sabres picking a hometown boy. Hopefully Regier doesn't chase him out of town like last time (Tim Kennedy).

Kennedy sucked and asked for too much money. He certainly pissed off the front office.

I heard this too.

The tickets for African Lion Safari are still up for grabs too.

Leafs fans and Habs fans are setting themselves up for disappointment.

He's not signing with either team.

I heard he wears number 4 in honour of Leafs great Jeff Finger.

What other team would he have watched growing up in Quebec 25 years ago? It means nothing to a fully grown adult who have been exposed to bigger/better cities.
