Help re Habs 2006 draft

[M. Beaux-Eaux]

I was out of the loop during my "vacation" and so missed this year's draft. I searched for and read what was posted here (seemed pretty quiet on HabsRus) and elsewhere, but I really would appreciate opinions from members on this year's selections. Thanks.

My only observations was that there weren't the sure fire top notch prospects like in 2005 so we too a high risk high reward shot with our #1. (Unlike Price who is a sure thing to be our starter in 2013)

Bozo, most of the draft chit-chat stayed in the main board, so if you just looked in the prospects section you won't find much.

Ignoring the pre-draft speculation of moving up in the draft, here's what I found:

Going through those old posts, I also found a couple of nice nuggets, nice predictions....

Gainey showed signs of frustration with Zed and Ribeiro this year. He was certainly shopping them around in March... and they are still here!! 1.9 to Ribeiro is a joke. Gainey said that he would be aggressive on the UFA market... Then what are you waiting for??? If you are interested by Shanahan, Samsonov or Sykora, be proactive and sign one now even if it means overpaying a little...

Why do you care? Why are you so concerned with GG pocket? Is the objective of the team to win the Cup or be frugal and increadably profitable?

Cap room these days is just as much of an asset as draft picks.

Nice digging for links. Thanks. I did indeed assume the talk would have been on this board.
