What happened?

Yessssss, Habs won the draft lottery. All habs fans finally could scream we’re number one about something at the end of a disastrous season. It is not the first time the habs have had the first overall pick. Sadly the Flower’s passing reminded us of the shrewd Sam Pollock getting a generational superstar right after winning a stanley cup. Even then, choosing the Flower over Marcel Dionne was not a certainty and what may have clinched it for Lafleur was the fact his junior team defeated Dionne’s junior team in the Memorial Cup playoffs. In fact, even this was without controversy as Dionne’s junior team, trailing 3-2 in wins, forfeited the series because the Quebec city fans were too rowdy and Dionne’s team refused to play there.  Sam Pollock was behind another first overall pick when in 1976 he swapped the habs first pick for the Colorado first pick in 1980. He sweetened the deal with the Rockies  by adding a couple of prospects.

So this is what I want Bergevin to trade for in order for us to win the Cup: Kevin Westgarth- Makes $550,000, is 6'4 and has held his own versus Colton Orr and Fraser Mclaren this year. When the habs meet either the Bruins, Leafs, or Flyers he may be needed to keep the habs from taking a physical beating. A late round pick or a Travis Moen in exchange. Jaromir Jagr- Is an unrestricted free agent after this year and what he really wants is another shot at the Cup before he retires. He has played with Plekanec in the past but would look good with Eller as well. He could teach Eller a few tricks. Yes he is a bit of a free spirit but he can't do much damage to team chemistry arriving at year-end. A late round pick or a Travis Moen in exchange. Dominic Moore- Was excellent with Habs during their playoff run in 2010. He has not played all year and that is an issue. He brings speed and some scoring capability. A good 4th liner ...
