Why? It's an interesting interview conducted just after the 2015 draft, about the 2015 draft, and it's blatantly obvious how unenthusiastic the Montreal Canadiens' head scout (at the time) seemed about the players he had just drafted.
He doesn't seem excited at all.
Timmins already seemed to regret his choices and he seemed disappointed with the decisions made, a few days earlier. It was as if he knew the club had just made some bad selections.
Let's remember that in the 2015 draft, the CH drafted:
First round - Noah Juulsen
Second round - Nothing
Third round - Lukas Vejdemo
When asked (in that famous interview) if he expected these players to ever make the Montreal roster, Timmins seemed very skeptical and hesitant.
Here is the video in question, notice the obvious lack of enthusiasm and confidence:
In the end, Timmins had just had his worst draft with the Montreal Canadiens (along with the one in 2008)
