and they’ve answered my concern for a real 4th liner with muscle, Blais is much more of a fit for there than Kapanen !
2022-23 and 23-24 he was top 10 in the NHL for hits, we needed thatI fail to see a spot for Kapanen on this team tbh. I like the kid but too much of the same with Beck and Evans.
correct and its the way it should be, spots should be hard to win

Bob McKenzie calls it a career.
His last day.
He had a really nice run.
what?
that’s kind of out of nowhere, isn’t it?
yes WTF, he didnt ask me for permission !
RHP in PIT. good luck kid!
Good luck to him indeed.
At some point, guys like Roy or Kapanen may face the same problem. Beck and Xhekaj are pushing. They traded for Bolduc so I guess they like him. Hague will come as well sooner rather than later.
So this is where we are now congregating as internet degenerates to discuss hockey. No idea how to get my profile pic back though lol.
You have to make a deal with the devil, AKA @Kick.
An Orange Cat asked:
When it comes to Laine, he is lethal on the power play but not so good on 5 on 5. Is that the guy we want in our bottom 6? I mean he would add skills in there, but at that point I would rather have a guy like Owen Beck and or Florian Xhekaj on the 4th line.
While he scores on the PP, that impacts CC’s production as he steals his spot.
That being said, I think we have 2 really strong PP units this year, so that is something to watch.
I suspect Laine is headed out the door, if not immediately, then by the trade deadline. Perhaps the Habs are waiting to see how Bolduc looks before making the change…. there are team so far below the salary cap, and San Jose is under the cap floor. So there is a possibility to deal that contract, retain some salary (at least enough for the Habs to be below the cap).
There is also the likely hood that Price’s contract is traded, but it would be ideal to start the season under the cap and use the LTR to max advantage later.

Demidov will be something to watch all by himself. Yes even if Dach or Newhook is the centre he plays with.
Dobson will make this team better. Remember how much Carrier made this team better? Dobson will have a much bigger impact and I like Carrier.
Slaf and Hutson will only keep growing as players. I expect we will see Reinbacher sooner rather than later.
This is a very young team and some players will have to fight at camp to make this team. As it should be.
The team was a disaster before December last year until we traded for Carrier … he instantly solidified the right side of our D.
What seemed impossible (making the playoffs) to most of us fans eventually became a reality because we stopped allowing 5-6 goals to the opponent every night.HuGo are slowly adding younger/better pieces to the puzzle and eliminating expensive contracts to overvalued players that Bergevin had signed … this is now becoming HuGo’s team.
Contrary to Bergevin who managed by the seat of his pants without any long term vision, our new management is purposeful and has a clear Drafting & Development plan.Last year, I didn’t think we had any chances of making the playoffs … this year I feel much different.
