The sad part is Montreal will be forced to pick a defenseman again this year
it would be nice if you provided a link to the shane goumet podcast with you, i couldn't find it
Don't worry, if they pick another D it will be most likely to take Zayne Parekh who already has established chemistry with Owen Beck.
What I suppose Gorton meant by things are going to get harder is that it's easier to built a prospect pool and harder manage those prospects. You can't sign them all. Some tough choices are coming. Who do you trade? Who do you let go. Who do you call up? Beck, Mesar, Riley, and Kapenan are all centers. They all have upsides. There will be 1 spots available if Suzuki and Dach are 1st and 2nd and Evens is 4th. That's where it gets hard. Lets not get into the defensemen.
How many games did you manage to cover, I knew you wanted to try all 82 but that would’ve taken a miracle, lol. Can’t wait to see what we do at the draft!
👍🇸🇰
Remember Guy Damien Lafluer had 55 points in his second season
Hard to decide Struble, Harris, Baron or? Someone has to be in a package I suggest put one a first round and flip to move up
I think they might trade down and still get the player they want
I am pretty sure they will make the playoffs next year if they don’t decide to tank
The players I want for the Habs at 5th overall are either Lindstrom, Iginla or Eiserman…
All 3 of them have size and elite forward qualities.
Eiserman and Caufield on the powerplay 😂 the "Cole" dual threat
Definitely exciting going forward.
Just to add , right after I said there’s a 17% chance … me and dekes both sent the “so your telling me there’s a chance” Lloyd Christmas gif to each other at the same time . It was classic !!
Cheers buddy good stuff !!!
I want Lindstrom
We have 11 contracts that end after the next season, the 25-26 edition of the Habs will give us a much better of idea of what the future is for this team.
I expect playoffs next year, or at the very least I'll be crushed if we miss 'em. Call me an optimist
Keep it up dude
i came up with this and you ain't ready
Matheson-Hutson
Mailloux-Xhekaj
Strube-Ghule
trade the rest for fowards
FYI, Logan Mailloux actually pronounces his name MAY-OUX rather than MY-OUX. I know it's not the way we would normally say it in Quebec, but he is not from Quebec.
Actually there is just a 17% of moving up at all since the chances of 3rd are almost zero. Not sure about 4th.
Crazy part is, this team is close.
44 games were by 1 goal. 27 of those losses, out of those losses 12 in regulation, 15 in OT/SO.
Had they won half of those games they lost, would have given them 19 more points than they finished with, which would have given them 95pts, good enough for the final wildcard spot, by 4pts. Wishful thinking, but just shows how close they are. And…all of that without Dach. Not saying he is the savior, but I think they would have won a few of those 1 goal losses with him in the line up.
Should be an interesting summer. Not sure where Anderson fits into this team for next season.
First line remains the same.
2nd line Roy Dach ???? (trade at the draft?)
3rd line Gallagher Newhook Armia (Perfectly fine this being the 3rd line, especially if Armia and Gallagher can play like they have the last couple months.
4th line Pezz Dvorak Evans? Maybe see Dvorak traded with picks at the draft.
D Corp
Matheson Guhle
Hutson Savard
Xhekaj Mailloux
Harris or Kovacevic as the 7th D
No Struble….don't want to see him go, but could maybe see him packaged (maybe with Dvorak) and picks for a pretty decent return, and something has to give on the D to make room for Hutson.
I am confident we will pick the right guy or trade the pick and get the right guy. Next year the playoffs are within reach if we stay healthy.
