Habsent Minded is a podcast series on all things Montreal Canadiens. In the latest episode, Patrik Bexell was joined by Hadi Kalakeche, Matt Drake, Jared Book, and Anton Rasegård for a round-table discussion on Jeff Gorton’s big-name prospect misses during his New York Rangers tenure, namely Lias Andersson and Vitali Kravtsov. How much blame does Gorton bear, and what has he learned from these experiences?
Patrik Bexell, European Correspondent: On the topic [brought up last time] of being shell shocked with regard to [Jesperi] Kotkaniemi and [Alex] Galchenyuk, we have to bring up the fact that Jeff Gorton, while with the New York Rangers, has had some high profile prospects who didn’t pan out.
