    Always fun and informative listening to 2 regular guys who I picture just sitting in a bar, having a beer, talking about one of their passions in life, hockey and just as important, the Habs.
    The one prospect I would love to see in Montreal if Robert Thomas can’t be had would be Jordan Kyrou. I am bias here because I live in Sarnia and I see what this kid does game in and game out. His downside for the organization is that he is not a centre but man can he dominate a game. He is a quarterback on the PP and gets time on the PK because of his speed and hockey sense.
    As you suggest it’s going to be a fun ride from the trade deadline all the way to training camp. I for one am optimistic about the future.

    Cheers Gent’s !!

      I like Kyrou..ranked him as a first rounder… but not sure he’ll be able to play a top-two center tole in the NHL..he’s not even playing center in junior.
