Comments on: Habs on Verge of Boasting 3 Rookie of the Year Prospects http://hockeyindependent.com/blog/stevenhindle/13109/ NHL hockey blogosphere of your favorite team rumors, trades, opinion, recaps, previews and news Sun, 20 May 2012 16:58:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: George Prax http://hockeyindependent.com/blog/stevenhindle/13109/comment-page-1/#comment-4379 George Prax Mon, 22 Mar 2010 13:36:55 +0000 http://hockeyindependent.com/blog/?p=13109#comment-4379 To be fair, the Habs had a pretty good team two years ago before Gainey decided to blow it up. But we're not here to discuss that and I agree that this year's team is actually pretty good. We could argue the merits of drafting one player over another until the cows come home. Truth be told, this team doesn't look all that bad going into the future. While I was certain that PK was a shoe-in for rookie of the year in the AHL, I had no idea that Kristo and Leblanc were doing that well. Of course, it's one thing to have success at the college level, another to translate it into NHL success, but it's definitely a reason to get excited if you're a Habs fan. All three are going to be in the NHL sooner rather than later, especially PK, and are going to be the staple of this team heading into the future. Great article Steven, I'm definitely going to refer to this in my upcoming blog. To be fair, the Habs had a pretty good team two years ago before Gainey decided to blow it up.
