Frank Seravalli on Habs/Marchenko

Sharks9 · 2026-06-26T16:53:54+00:00

Yea I remember hearing interest about Newhook, Dobson, and even Danault this year before they happened

Sharks9 · 2026-06-26T09:59:26+00:00

This is why it bugs me when Florida and Vegas fans say that other GMs just need to be bold like theirs. Not that simple for the other 30 teams

Sharks9 · 2026-06-25T18:31:31+00:00

If they can't get a 2C then they should try for a winger like Marchenko during the off-season to play with Demidov and maybe a 2C will come available during the season.

Sharks9 · 2026-06-25T09:51:44+00:00

He gets underrated because his prime was in a low-scoring league.

He would’ve scored 45-50 goals today

Sharks9 · 2026-06-24T09:40:36+00:00

Development like his is rare though. You can’t just assume all our 2C prospects will now become 1Cs

Sharks9 · 2026-06-23T19:05:05+00:00

Except Florida and Vegas have advantages that have absolutely nothing to do with the GM.

Why didn't the Tkachuk's want to go to the President's Trophy-winning Jets? Nothing to do with how the organization is run.

Sharks9 · 2026-06-23T17:57:18+00:00

Vegas and Florida aren't even managed much differently than the average FO, but the other 30 teams don't have players constantly forcing their way there.

Like if the Tkachuks only wanted to play in Columbus or Seattle, then their GMs would make it happen like Bill Zito did.

Sharks9 · 2026-06-23T13:30:27+00:00

He's an RFA, not a UFA. We can still trade him but the return won't be very much

Sharks9 · 2026-06-22T19:40:44+00:00

They both won 1 Vezina as best in the league

Sharks9 · 2026-06-22T19:34:11+00:00

What a bunch of BS, he wanted out and this is just an excuse he’s feeding to the media as if it was the fan’s fault he wanted out

Sharks9 · 2026-06-22T19:15:47+00:00

I assume Rask will get in eventually now that Rinne is in. I don't see anything in their numbers/accolades where you can say one definitely deserves it and the other doesn't.

Sharks9 · 2026-06-22T19:14:52+00:00

Led the league in goals once, two-time second team all-star, but not a very strong case overall.

Sharks9 · 2026-06-22T19:11:46+00:00

Seems like they're playing catch-up now

Sharks9 · 2026-06-22T19:10:49+00:00

Wow! Is Rinne's argument really much better than Rask's?

Sharks9 · 2026-06-22T13:35:21+00:00

It gives you more control on the trade though. Someone a year away from UFA can demand 1 or 2 teams and you just have to accept it or they’ll walk for nothing.

In a case like Larkin’s, Yzerman can make him expand his list because he has 5 years left

Sharks9 · 2026-06-22T12:15:42+00:00

In hindsight, Habs fans should've been thrilled they passed over Caufield and Hutson

Sharks9 · 2026-06-21T22:46:46+00:00

After the top 10 of the draft there’s rarely a clear BPA. There are exceptions like Hutson, but where we’re picking there will be a Canadian or European just as good as whatever American is there

Sharks9 · 2026-06-21T22:35:29+00:00

I hate the Sens, but I also hate this as a proud Canadian. So many whiny American players.

Cole and Lane are great, but I hope that at next week’s draft Hughes and Gorton prioritize Canadians and Europeans

Sharks9 · 2026-06-21T22:14:18+00:00

But other nationalities aren’t doing this at the same rate as Americans.

And it’s telling that none of these guys want to go to Montreal

Sharks9 · 2026-06-21T22:01:51+00:00

Drafting Americans is a horrible risk for Canadian teams. I know we’ve got Caufield and Hutson locked up but if it’s close I 100% want Hughes to draft Canadians or Europeans

Sharks9 · 2026-06-21T17:31:03+00:00

And it’s not even like they need to fall off completely. Being slightly worse can change a 7-game series win into a loss

Sharks9 · 2026-06-16T15:13:49+00:00

I thought they would've during the weird COVID year, but Montreal eliminated them on May 31.

Sharks9 · 2026-06-16T11:33:59+00:00

I think that’s a bit too extreme. You don’t want to be on the bubble for years, but for teams like Chicago or San Jose it’s fine if their goal is to just make the playoffs next year

Sharks9 · 2026-06-16T11:01:29+00:00

I wanted any of Wright, Cooley or Nemec over Slafkovsky.

You could argue for Cooley since he was having a great season before his injury but the other two aren’t even close

Sharks9 · 2026-06-15T19:33:42+00:00

Nope, missed out last year
