Excellent projections
Great job, coach! I like the extension to Matheson. Too many want to unload him, but he's too valuable to dismiss too easily.
You need more experience you now are assistant coach
Not bad at all. I think some bottom 6 prospects will surprise and fill roles sooner than we think. I think KH will unload some of those big contracts to make room for Beck, Tuch and/or F. Xhekaj. Otherwise, i think youre spot on.
What are your thoughts on Mesar? Is he getting traded?
i dont see a cup in your crystal ball coach just 3 more years of bottom 10 finish😉😉😉
Really don't understand the idea of extending Matheson…I do think he will age well because of his skating but its forcing Guhle on the right side which is not ideal.
Great show Coach…your projections are fascinating and hopefully end with a strong playoff team.
Matheson is a great mentor for the young players, but you could trade him for a top 6 player. He does have value, so i think the Habs could maximize his value until the trade deadline. I think Guhle would be better playing on his natural.
I may be a bit biased here (read: genius) but id give arber 8xwhatever….2?3?
I think we will 100% be trading Matheson by the time 2025-26 begins. Even if we don't, he would never accept a new contract for only 3 years or for only $4M. He will be coming off career seasons and it will be his last chance to get cash in and get some term.
Sounds pretty good to me coach 👌 let's see what happens
I can see Florian xhekak make a case for him self
I hope Beck Makes the team 🙏 4th line. Hutson Aswell
Almost perfect Coach. Only area that I disagree is that I want to see Matheson traded while he has value for a young winger. This would be the trade piece that you referred to. He is the only asset to get a middle 6 forward for.
I think you are underestimating the value of Florian. He is working hard to upgrade his skating, physical strength, and also his puck handling and shooting skills. He will cut Heineman out of the lineup! He has been improving his scoring skills a lot in the last 2 years. If he continues this progress over the next 2 years, I believe he will be at least a 3rd line player. A 3rd line player that can score, check, hit, and fight, if necessary.
You are WRONG🙂 about 25/26. There won't be a UFA playing on the second line. Roy will be on the second line. His Hockey IQ and skills are good enough to play alongside Dach and Demidov. If there is a UFA he will be playing on the third line with Newhook and Gallagher.The fourth line will have Beck Heineman and one of the Rocket graduates. Mailloux will be on the second pair of d-Men. Matheson will be traded for a forward.

Hey very interesting video Coach
I think Roy could do a very good duo with demidov … like he did with connor bedard in the world junior.
This guy has a special perk that he can play with high end talent because of his high hockey IQ . Like an X Factor perk
Dach Roy and demidov making a line.
Or susuki caufield dach was great
And demidov slav and roy😮😮😮
