Another good prospect to add to the Habs cupboard, and might I add, another thank you to Trevor Timmins' selections (I like to give credit where credit is due.). I do wonder however if either Beck or Kapanen may be sacrificed (maybe not now but in the future in a deal for a bigger fish) as they both are extremely similar players…let the battle begin! As we creep closer to the 2024 Draft, the more intrigue continues to build…and I'm loving it! I am convinced Hughes wishes to bring in a proven Top 6 forward but it takes 2 to tango so if none can be had for the right price, expect to see Plan A go to Plan B, then Plan C. I think in my perfect scenario, Mtl comes out of the draft with a core player @ #5, somehow is able to move up from #26 to get another good prospect to fill a need in the organization…as for the rest, remember, not everything on the Mtl off-season wish list needs to be completed at the draft…so I expect trades but probably more likely minor ones to help prepare Laval with some experience for all the new guys coming in. But don't get me wrong, I hope Hughes can surprise us all by pulling off a surprise major trade. Also side note, my heart hopes Aatos Koivu gets selected by Mtl (as long as he would like to come to Mtl or he may wish less microscopic stressful attention elsewhere which I would completely understand.). Will Mtl be busy July 1 for the UFA market? They will not "go for it" just yet…the 2025 UFA class looks way more appealing…but I do expect at least a few non-expensive additions to help round out our roster short term needs (size, grittier, PK assistance, and continue to add depth esp in Laval…and as much as I like Pezetta, maybe an upgrade to help protect all our present and incoming young guys and give Arber time to concentrate on improving his game and not always being the guy expected to fight).
owen beck is gonna be good… i cant wait to see the habs after we get rid of a few guys like savard, armia, devorak, gallagher, harris ….. bringing in the guys like mayou , beck , roy
i gotta tell ya , your rite about the last bit of games, but armia has been in the league what 10 years? & he has underperformed every year & is getting payed pretty well… not physical enough & doesn't play hard at all
The senators have express that their pick might be available. Knowing the lack of offensive support on their D squad, knowing they want to be competitive sooner than later, maybe the habs could offer the 26th pick along matheson and something else… to get their hands on the 7th pick. if I was Hughes I'd be willing to go pretty high knowing I can spare a top d and even include a solid project to get my hand on 2 of demidov iginla eiserman lindstrom silayev and levshunov… At the end of the day Hughes can spare any of the following: 26th pick, 57th pick, Matheson, savard, kovacevic, Harris, strubble, barron, armia,RHP, gallagher, anderson, beck and kapanen…

Nice to see you Drew! Thanks for the vid.
Upgrade maybe from Evans!
We are inching closer to the draft! It will be a fun one to analyze once it has been completed.🏒😊

Let's move from Evans
