[Emrith] #Habs Rafaël Harvey-Pinard says he’ll be playing with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield tomorrow so it’s fair to assume Josh Anderson will drop down to the 2nd line with Alex Newhook and Juraj Slafkovský vs. the #MNWild

    One good thing to take away from this is that Newhook and Anderson seemed to have some chemistry together. On the other hand, Slaf felt like a 3rd wheel on that line.

    I would’ve liked to see monahan-newhook-slaf honestly

    I don’t think Anderson + Slaf ever worked..

  4. Happy for RHP, curious how to see how that line will fare against NHL competition.

    That’s going to be one fast hard playing line with a combination of those 3 together

  6. RHP is the new Byron. Plug-and-play anywhere in the lineup.

    Anderson, Newhook and Slaf is a fast line.

    Hear me out. Let’s stick to Duos. Ideally Slaf/Dach would be a duo but that’s not in the cards for the next little while.

    1 – SZK+CC with RHP

    2a – Andy+NewHook with Ylonen

    2b – Mony+Slaf with Pearson

    The priorities for this season ought to be Dach/Slaf/Newhook/CC/SZK progressing (in that order). Surrounding Slaf with vets should further help him ease into the NHL. This also give RHP/Ylonen another opportunity to make their case for top 6 roles. Maybe they can, maybe they can’t. Either way, we’re not expecting the playoffs with this roster yet so why not experiment with them while Roy/Beck/Farrell/Kidney cook?

    Dach going down is horrible. Let’s not lose an opportunity to let some gems shine.

    Two fucking games in and both the first and second lines are now a shadow of what they could be. Not to diss RHP or Anderson but RHP on the first line is not what you want to see. So fucking disheartening. I really felt that this team could surprise if they could stay healthy. Maybe not make the playoffs but give us a ride, make the year interesting. Can’t help but sit here and wonder “who next?” because it seems that is how it is with this team.

    Well we know Dach can play second line if newhook can develop as a centre then that solidifies third line

    RHP a forcé la main de MSL. Il joue juste trop bien.

    Great opportunity for Rafael Harvey-Bedard.
