In 2008, the Canadiens didn't have any First round draft pick.
2005 was Timmins' best year as he drafted Price, Latendresse, D'Agostini and S. Kostitsyn. However, he didn't fare too well in the other years as of now. Kyle Chipchura, Andrei Kostitsyn, David Fisher, and Ryan McDonagh have all been major disappointments while players such as Zach Parise, Devin Setoguchi, and Jeff Carter all had breakout seasons in 2008-09.
What do you think of Timmins' work so far?
