Vincent Damphousse has literally turned the tables on Habs fans
A few days earlier, the Ottawa Senators named young Brady Tkachuk as captain of the team. This talented power forward will be the Sens' leader for a while.
What hurts the most about this is the fact that Tkachuk could be a member of the Habs today. Remember that the Habs opted instead for Finnish Jesperi Kotkaniemi who is not even with the team anymore.
During his headline in L'Antichambre, Vincent Damphousse took the opportunity to turn the knife in the wound for Habs fans.
It was named as follows:
"He was the next captain", referring to Brady Tkachuk who could have been the heir to Shea Weber.
You shouldn't live in the past, because in the end, you're just dwelling on the negative. What is done is done. However, we shouldn't repeat the same mistakes, especially from a draft perspective. It is probably in this direction that Vincent Damphousse wanted to go by having made this headline. Ruminate to better evolve.
In my opinion, in the draft, we take the best player available and not a need by position, especially in the first round. The draft is not an exact science, but the Habs took a big risk by taking KK at the expense of several potential star players, including Quinn Hughes and Brady Tkachuk.
