i guess he’s desperate to try to get people to come back and read his crap.
drew_doubty got a nice ban because after you all left his site and ek put up that “rossi to habs e4” i posted “yeah, that’ll bring em back” and he didn’t appreciate that very much.

With this comment, Kick made me think about…

We should all post that in every one of his blogs (not that I read anything else but the last Habs thread anymore. or the headline I quickly I glance at as I go to that thread).
LOL.
Anyways, i am good here. This place seems to have some good potential.

Would you try Heienmam on 2nd line?
CC- Suze- Slaf
Heinny – 2C – Demidov
Newhook – Dach – Laine
Andy – Evans – Gallysomebody will have to go if we make changes

Depends what Heienmam we get – the pre or post car body check player? He did not look fully 100% after he came back, hopefully after the summer, he is good to go in October.
I think Dach or Newhook get a first look there, assuming they get a 2C.
Still would not be surprised of Dvorak comes back for a short / low cost contract.

With Matt Duchene locked up, #TexasHockey has just under $50k in salary cap space remaining for next season with 18 players signed.Buckle up in Dallas.
-

-

YES!!! Heineman could do the same thing Slaf is supposed to do on the 1st. work the corners, retrieve pucks, make room for his linemates…
but god do I hate that 3rd line. aie aie aiejebus… I find a lot of people are way over-evaluating Heineman and have given up too quickly on Dach, but we’ll see lol.
-
-
I did think he might come to MTL and fill in for a few years, but a 4 year contract… yeeeeesh.
Pass.
for his current production though it’s actually a pretty good deal in terms of salary, he could’ve gotten more elsewhere.
-
Pat pontificated:
for his current production though it’s actually a pretty good deal in terms of salary, he could’ve gotten more elsewhere.
He is 34 and will be 39 when the contract ends (January birthday).
I think he might have gotten a little more per year on a shorter deal, but 4 years is a lot of term.
I mean, good for him.
-
-
-
I think Heineman is a middle 6 winger, whether it is on line 2 or 3 is tbd.
I think Dach’s body gave up on Dach….
I see Heineman as a very good bottom 6 player, but he could always pleasantly surprise me, who knows.
agreed on Dach that he’s gonna have to stay healthy, he definitely has the “porcelain player” label written all over him right now… but if he does stay away from injuries I still think he has more potential.

I like Smillie, seems like a good guy, but what a mess of a blog that is… edit yourself, my man, make some paragraphs, break it up.
Stopped reading half way through, felt like War and Peace or something.
Sheesh.
i don’t remember his blogs being like that before. he’ll probably split anyway when ek sends him an envelope with a few coins in it, promising the rest of his payment later.

@ Pat :Mason Marchment has played this season, what are you talking about, lol? Dallas is in cap hell, they cant expect to get a great return for their players. If you have no choice but to trade, that is what happens.
He was being an evander Kane in the playoffs by not scoring and taking stupid penalties. made himself expendable

oh, I checked again and yeah you’re right, wtf loll… I have no clue what I had looked up previously then.

Pat must be excited.
7 days and ~9 hours ’til the NHL draft.
I bet the little guy is not sleeping well, as he is full of giddy pre-draft excitement.
But seriously, this could be a really fun 2 weeks.
Cannot wait to see what HuGo get done.
-
I have no/low expectations, too many buyers, not enough sellers. If I had to guess, Habs will end up trading for a 3rd line center who can slot in the 2nd when Dach is injured, Habs will try to move up in the draft also, I say they end up drafting a few spots earlier than 16th. I expect a “We tried but the prices were too high, it didn’t make sense”

The HuGo tandem always seems to do something unexpected, so I am prepared for 1 or 2 surprises over the next few weeks.
I am more excited by what they may (or may not do) than anything else.

I’m indeed pretty excited to see what they do, and I find the draft talk is actually interesting when it’s close to draft day, but I guess it’s pointless to explain this for the hundredth time lol.

But Toews has decided to join his hometown Jets according to league sources. -
I prefer to stay realistic vs buy the hype/excitement
yeah I get it. without creating any false hopes I find it’s actually a good time to be excited as a habs fan, and even if they don’t accomplish all they wanted to do in the off-season I think they’re still on the right path, but I understand the realism/idealism dichotomy.

I am not really having false hope, or specific expectations (other than to expect the unexpected).
I am more fascinated by what the HuGo tandem are doing to improve the club (trades / off-season / draft), however that goes.
I find it as interesting as the on-ice improvements / games.
(And until this last year, maybe even more interesting than the games themselves).

Whatever you think of her music, Dolly is amazing and a great person.
And this is crazy, but she has been doing lots of covers/originals with a wide range of artists (Pitbull, Linda Perry, McCartney/Starr, Rob Halford, Ann Wilson, Cyndi Lauper, John Fogerty, Steven Tyler, Peter Frampton, Joan Jett etc… etc…).
She is on a mission!

it was very frowned upon by the country music industry but I kinda liked Beyoncé’s rendition of Jolene lol.

Apparently she wrote the lyrics and music for Jolene and I Will Always Love You in one day.

Toews in winnipeg is gonna be weird. IDK. He hasn’t played in 2 and half years.
I think he was out because of covid complications…?
he might surprise us and actually play well, who knows.
-
Pat rightfully suggested:
I think he was out because of covid complications…?
he might surprise us and actually play well, who knows.
I thought it was a physical injury. TSN saying Toews missed the past two NHL seasons after stepping away from hockey, citing the effects of Chronic Immune Response Syndrome and long COVID.
Did not realize that was the reason, somewhat surprised more players did not get hit with long COVID tbh… I know a few people who took months and months to get better.

indeed, even athletes or very healthy people who weren’t considered at risk at all were affected by it, it was a very arbitrary thing.

@ Pat : because of the salary cap.
You cant have 2 number one defenseman on the same team.
yeah, I was kidding lol.
but at the same time with the cap going up it would be amazeballs if they somehow managed to sign both players without messing up the team’s salary structure too badly…
both players will make a lot of money but are sound investments imho.

I think, with the cap projected to go up significantly and core guys we have on good deals for the next 4-6 years, if the Habs could lock up both for $8-10M each they could make it work.
Not sure that is a realistic view on contract they would sign, though.

@Pat.
I am not sure Dobson is what we need, tbh.
Not gonna complain if they get him, sign him, and he turn out to be the real deal…. Just don’t believe he is a $10-11M player.
But maybe that is just my old man mentality thinking that only real elite players should be crossing the $10M threshold, and I am not convinced he is elite top 5-10 D in the league.
Also, sort of biased by the contracts like Suzuki, Slaf, and CC have… I know, different circumstances, different cap limits, etc…

agreed, and with the salary cap going up, you might not be distributing your investments evenly throughout the roster if you’re simply giving more money to the same players.

@ Pat : I did not say anything about trading down. I think both teams would be after a young player ready to play in the NHL. Think Slaf or Caufield.
Would I do that trade? I dont know, but I could see both chicago or Utah seeking that kind of deal. Simon the snake Boiverts seems to really like Desnoyers and the problem at the centre position would be solve for years. Its easier to find a winger than a centre on the market.

Kinda feel bad for people without A/C or that need to be outdoors today.
But not bad enough to invite them into my place to cool down.
yeah, no. sweaty people have to stay outside.
yesterday i saw someone pull up with a moving truck and start unloading stuff into their new condo next door to mine and that seemed like bad planning. his shirt was already soaked all the way through from loading the truck and now he had to unload it.

I worked as a mover for 2 summers when I came home from University.
You cannot really plan your move in/out dates based on the weather.
I moved so many people on rainy days, super hot days, etc…
Kinda sucked.
But I do miss being 19/20 and that buff.
LOl.
when i was younger, i made sure to move in to my apartments in the fall. that way anytime my lease was up, if i wanted to find somewhere better, i was moving in the fall. i moved in and out of like 3 apartments in a row on halloween.
if you hate heat as much as i do, you have to plan properly.

In Quebec, all (or most, unless agreed differently) of the rental leases end on the same date. so most people pretty much do not have a choice.
Also, closing on a house is not always a “pick me date” either.
But I get what you are saying, if you have the flexibility to plan, then try it.

i did end up having to move back into the condo after they rebuilt it in june. so that sucked but it had a good payoff for moving in the summer in getting my house back. i hired movers for that anyway.

they charge so much more for packing it too that i just packed it all into boxes myself. i didn’t have much anyway because i knew it was silly to buy too much until i got back to my house.

Been reading about potential trade targets, and it looks like this is a seller’s market (and most sellers want established players back, not picks or prospects).
in that case Matheson is probably gone

Shockingly low return.
Thought this was a joke at first….
I am glad the Habs stayed away from him, regardless.
is he bad? i don’t watch their games since they stole the color orange.
-
Kick asked:
is he bad? i don’t watch their games since they stole the color orange.
Was a highly rated prospect (9th pick, 2019) that had a few decent years (65-ish points), but has been mostly injury plagued that last few seasons, and when healthy, has not shown much improvement.
His weakness is his defensive play and is terrible in face-offs.
Maybe if he is fully recovered, and in a new place, he can bounce back.

Ducks are giving Marner a dump truck of money and they have good young centremen already like McTavish and Carlsson…don’t love the return, but they got out of his contract

Here is McKenzie’s Final Draft Ranking.
I don’t think there are any surprises.
Some big guys in the Habs pick range, if they keep them, still think they will go with one safe/BPA pick and one swing-for-the-fences kinda pick.

-
Gramps said:
No, not really. I think the hawks are leaning frondell.
Yeah, tough pick between him and Misa, there are no losers on that count.
I think Frondell will be the better center, not sure if they are trying to do like the Oilers, have two top centers or if they want to overload with Bedard where Misa might look pretty good.

sure, but as you mention, centres are usually rarer to find, and if I’m Utah or Chicago I’d rather draft Desnoyers than acquire a winger like Slaf or Caufield…

agreed that’s a rather low return for Zegras… if he’s any good in Philly we’re gonna hear all about how Hughes and Gorton missed out on an opportunity, but I’m fine with their decision nonetheless.

A Chicken said:
@ Mash : I would expect Tavares to go to a contender or another market than montreal. Its his last big contract as well.
Normally, I would agree.
But most of the big contenders have no cap (or barely enough cap to sign their own players).
Will be interesting to see… still think 90& he ends up staying with the Leafs.

Could be, they could also not pan out they will have very quiet summer and build from within. The HuGo administration has been pretty good at not having any leaks.

Pat questioned:
I know it’s Evander Kane, but isn’t just a 4th a rather poor return for EDM? jebus.
Oilers need cap space, Canucks took on 100% of cap, I’m surprised they got a 4th out of the deal especially given how injured he has been, TBH.
Still do not understand why the Canucks helped the Oilers, because I do not think they helped themselves.
Whatever… better them than us.
-
5,25 cap hit for a player with injuries and other off-ice issues in the pas.
Have to say when he plays he is serviceable et I thought he’d be dead in a gutter by now.
-
-
interesting, I thought his reputation had more to do with the low return than the injuries, but that makes sense I guess. I was under the impression he did more good than bad in EDM but I could be wrong…
from Vancouver’s perspective it sure doesn’t sound like the kind of guy they need in the locker room loll.
-
-
-
yeah but he’s in the last year of that contract, I get it but I thought EDM would be able to fetch more…
maybe the plan in VAN is simply to flip him at the deadline.

Pat said:

I hope the Habs are passed the point of looking for deals to just flip at the deadline.
Was cool while it lasted, but I am ready to move on.
Not out of patience, by any means, just want to keep moving forward.

oh we don’t want a sabres-type situation for sure, but they’ve been struggling in their rebuilding process for literally more than a decade now, I think it’s safe to say the habs are still pretty far away from that lol.

So I was just thinking about 2C and how trading for one is looking difficult, but what if we signed Mikael Granlund and traded for Peterka. I asked ChatGPT about the line and it seems to think Demidov would be a good C. I believe elite prospects has come to the same conclusion from watching his play.
JJ Peterka brings finishing ability, speed, and puck skills that mesh well with Granlund’s playmaking IQ and Demidov’s controlled two-way center play.
Together, they could form a well-rounded, high-danger line effective in both primary scoring and defensive stability.Just a thought…..weed and boredom lead to deep thoughts lol

I honestly think Granlund is the option they are looking at, he has been my low cost “fill in” ’til they can get something better down the line guy. This seems low risk to me, for 2-3 years, and he can move down to the 3rd line later.
And I do think it makes sense they look for an upgrade on the wing for that second line, leaving Newhook and Dach to fight out for playing time on the 3rd line.
But I have a feeling we will end up with a second line addition (either a winger or a center) and a veteran RHD instead.

Peterka would be nice, but apparently he isn’t available. then again, if Gretzky got traded…

Thats alot of quote, wonder if reply works different…
leaves a 3rd/4th line with Newhook, Dach, Laine, Heinny, Gally Andy, Owens, etc.

I think that might work, but dont you hate it cause Giroux is a small player?
Maybe they could add a bigger player with them. Or just use a guy like Anderson with them, maybe?
Maybe Dach on the wing?

50 points en 81 rencontres. Il joue sur le Pk. C’est parfait selon moi. On a pas besoin d’une supervedette nécesserairement.

Giroux a 37 ans, en fin de carrière, il jouait pour les sens… personnellement je m’en passerais lol.
On s’en crisse qu’il a joué pour les sens. Je ne dis pas que le CH devrait lui donner un contrat de 7 ans, mais pour 2 ans, pourquoi pas?
La réalité est que le marché est un peu mince pour les centres en ce moment. C’est le fun de rêver mais on doit aussi composer avec la réalité.
C’est aussi une solution temporaire en attendant Hague ou un joueur plus jeune ou dynamique.

I cant see that one either. If he leaves the Leafs, he will get paid on the open market. Mtl wont do it.

and Granlund is 5’10 185 lbs. pass
I’m not worried about his size, but he did a good job with the kids in San Jose and I think he would do well helping Demidov.
IT is a stop-gap signing if they cannot get someone else or they have an eye on something down the road.

I could name you 10 guys I’d prefer over Giroux as our #2C, but it is what it is. if a trade is not possible…
they simply cannot start next season with Dack/Newhook.since the expectations are now basically at zero, I think Dach might surprise a few, depending on how he’ll be used, and if he stays healthy of course..

Button says the Habs will draft:
#16 – LW Malcom Spence
#17 – RW Alexander Zharovsky (seems like a reach)Constantino says the Habs will draft:
No. 16 Montreal Canadiens (from CGY): Lynden Lakovic, LW, 6-foot-4, 190 pounds, Moose Jaw Warriors (WHL)
Having just four PIMs is a red flag for a player his size and he was questioned about it in just about every interview at the NHL Combine. Physicality may never be a strong suit for Lakovic, but his skating and puck skills are too good to pass on here.
No. 17 Montreal Canadiens: Jack Nesbitt, C, 6-foot-4, 185 pounds, Windsor Spitfires (OHL)
A steady riser all season long, Nesbitt addresses a need for size in the organization. He’s got great hands, a nose for the net, and can ramp up the nastiness when needed.
Not sure both of them are available or if we even keep both 1st rounders.

So apparently starting in 2026…

A playoff salary cap
84-game regular season (less pre-season games)
Shorter max term contractsWill be interesting to see how this looks, when finalized.
Playoff salary cap was a must, it was getting ridiculous in some cases.

Agreed 100% … the maximum contracts should be 5 years in my opinion.
We wouldn’t still be stuck with Price’s contract … so many things can happen in 5 years.

I think there is risk more for the team on shorter contracts (except for July 1st stuff).
Players could potentially win on 5 years big time, less willing to take discounts for longer term knowing they can cash in again sooner.
Flip side, teams are not held hostage for dumb mistakes for 7 (or 8) year, especially in an injury case like Price.

Maybe it will get there eventually.
Always funny that the league has to do rules to protect the owners from the GMs they hire. If you don’t want contracts over 5 years just don’t offer them. Gas companies can stick together to keep prices high but 32 GMs can’t

On 5 year terms, the AAVs would be higher, which likely would not be noticed in the next few years, until the cap starts flat-lining again.
Could also make July 1st a lot more interesting and fun again, allow terms to rebuild faster.
(Or watch a total nightmare of signings happen, just as fun, as long as it is the other team).

I mean cap the flat lined because of Covid mainly, chances of it happening again are not likely

Fredo stated emphatically:

Agreed (and hopefully never again). You cannot plan for that…
But the current growth rate is catch up, I do not expect the cap to grow by $9-10M per year, exponentially.
And if the rumours are true, the NHL wants to add 2 more teams (Atlanta 3.0 for some reason is one of them, Houston likely the other). Will be interesting to see if they increase revenue significantly or if they are below the average revenue threshold that exists today, which might slightly impact the cap.

In the end, it’s the fans who end up footing the bill … with the current inflation rate in the US, the financial flexibility of those fans is diminishing quickly.
There’s so much you can charge before the stands start emptying up … also TV contracts might also get limited in growth as networks keep losing subscribers. JMOAs for 2 new teams … God no (especially not Atlanta!!!), there’s barely enough NHL caliber players to fill out the current teams rosters.
I’m not interested in losing prospects after we just went through a rebuild. -

Per Lebrun:
More on the 84-game reg season starting in 26-27 season (reduce pre-season to 4 games max per team), the idea would be to start the reg season in last week of September as a result of shorter pre-season.
The added games likely coming within the division.82 games is more than enough, teams already have a hard time making it to the playoffs with a healthy roster… anything for more profit lol.

For a 32 team, makes sense, if you balance the schedule.
2 x 31 (all) teams = 62 games
+ 1 x 15 conference teams = 15
+ 1 x 7 division opponents = 7Total 84 games.
So you play the other conference x 2, the other division in your conference 3 times, and the teams in your division 4 times.
But that all gets screwed up again if they go to 34 teams, which they are talking about.
-
meh, for me there’s too much to be improved before they should consider making the season longer, whether the math adds up perfectly or not.
-
Interesting:
Good summary of the market by Don Waddell:
“Right now, there seems to be a shortage of players because everybody wants players for players…It’s been a different year for I gotta be honest with you, all my years that I’ve been doing it.”
Something has got to give at some point.
Or it is gonna be a boring 2 weeks.

While there are more games, I think they want to shorten the season length, overall, by starting in September.

If you are starting 2-3 weeks earlier and add 2 games, the season will be longer in duration, but will not be extended further into the summer…
(Unless they add stupid pre-playoff play-in games).

They’re probably adding the two extra games so they can make more revenue and not make the playoffs bigger

“if they’re starting the season earlier and they’re adding games, then the cup won’t be won much earlier… lol” – Pat
Yeah, awarding the Cup in June is pure madness.
I’m sure a lot of the non Cup finalist fans don’t care by then.true, and part of the issue is that by the time there are 2 teams that reach the cup final, they’re so banged up that it obviously affects the play and the entertainment value… making the season longer will only accentuate this.

osti de quotes de tabarnak…
I highly doubt they’ll start that early, I could be wrong but they’ll probably start it early enough just to incorporate the extra games, the league has been very stubborn about this.
They already said max 4 pre-season games and season to start in September…. how late in September TBD.
I don’t think they want the season to end as late/later than this year.
-
“They’re probably adding the two extra games so they can make more revenue and not make the playoffs bigger” – Peanut
Excessive greed might end up hurting them more long term … look at MLB baseball (no salary cap), a lot of fans got tired of always watching the rich market teams (ie. Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, etc) in the World Series.
The sport has also been declining because older fans are slowly dying and the next generations don’t even watch it. -

I was pretty frustrated with so many days between some playoff games – often 3 days (not between series, between games).
I get there are scheduling conflicts and the like, but that seems to add a lot of time to this year’s schedule.
Noticed it more this year than previous playoffs.

he could be the hero in the Chad version of the animated movie “Up”.

If they can get Bennet for cheap, sure. Will that happen? Nope.
Tavares is much more likely
I think he is the ideal person to get, but I do not think he comes to Montreal.
He will be with Toronto.
Wont Toronto want some changes at one point ?

A playoff salary cap
84-game regular season (less pre-season games)
Shorter max term contractsWill be interesting to see how this looks, when finalized.
Playoff salary cap was a must, it was getting ridiculous in some cases.
i’ll believe it when I see it, but it would be great !!

random thought, I kinda hope the habs draft goalie prospect Måns Goos, just for the name alone.
he was on the same team as likely blackhawk choice frondell. i mean, if someone with the name mans goos says a guy is the goods, you have to believe it.

I keep seeing lots of mock drafts with Frondel #2.
Not sure if they are just trying to get clicks / traction or something, but seems interesting.

yeah, like in past years there might be a few surprises at the draft, we’ll see.
it’s odd because I keep hearing how it isn’t a very deep draft, and yet the descriptions I’m reading about the players in the projected top 20 all sound very promising…

I think there are a lot of (potential) middle 6 forwards, but few top end ones.
After the top 2 or 3, it could be a crazy draft.

People said I and a few others were insane to have Barkov over Drouin, but that’s how it went down. I don’t think this is the same case though. Frondell isn’t the same and Misa is not a one trick pony winger.
-
Watching the Gorton presser:
1) He said this is a big weekend for us, a big summer for us, but we are not going to do anything stupid
2) With the cap going up, most teams have a very different approach this summer with the extra cap space, discussions / deals are very different looking
3) Going to continue to build on the team so that is it strong for many years, that has not changed
4) They are weary of making a trade / change for a player that may not fit their long-term plans or not be a good fit in the locker roomSetting some good expectations.

i hope so. i really like misa. it has come from some of the more credible sources about frondell at 2.
habs should get a couple of decent middle 6 prospect with some size if they keep the pick. If he is still there, I could see HuGo taking a flyer on Wang (giggles) with one of those picks.

I think there were roomers about Dobson wanting out, which would be the only logical explanation, but whether this is true or not remains to be seen lol

Dobson is 25 and is a skilled, complete right-handed dman who has barely started his prime, even if the Isles are rebuilding it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to trade him imho.

6 foot 6, 222lbs, that’s a big Wang.
that’s what she said /snots
he is a pure boom or bust pick. he is talented but very raw and will need time but he skates well, has a booming shot, and a high hockey IQ. Also has a bit of the neandethal gene. -

2nd round, though
don’t think either wang or nestrasil make it to the 2nd rd. 15 to 25 is my guess for both.
If that is the case, some good picks left for the early 2nd round.
-

So Michael McCarron
He has played 302 NHL games more than anyone in this chat room.
Not defending the 1st round pick, but the guy has made due with the limited skillset he has to have a decent career.
If not for Leks, that draft would be a complete bust.
-

to be fair, if this was the criteria we wouldn’t ever be talking about hockey players or make fun of them, ever lol.
but I get it, McCarron is having a decent NHL career, he’s just a reminder of all those shitty years the habs had in terms of drafting and development.

For sure.
But it was more than just drafting mistakes – they had terrible a terrible development team.
I wonder how some of those players might have turned out if they had the development programs the Habs have put into place since Gorton and Hughes showed up?
Who knows… but I think it is just as important as good drafting.
I may not like some of MSL’s decision making during games, but from him down to Laval and the rest of the development team that works with players in all leagues, that has made a world of difference.

Stephane Lefebvre was running a country club … very few players graduated from the AHL under the Bergevin/Timmins/Lefebvre regime.
That’s why Bergevin was forced to trade away picks to keep the team competitive (and keep his job), his only strategy was to keep Price happy and build a turtle shell around him … and that’s why Molson eventually cleaned house.
I will never say enough how grateful I am to have seen their incompetent asses go away … we’ve been improving ever since once we committed to a full rebuild.-

Is Dobson a habs yet?
-
-
Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts podcast this morning: “I don’t know if there’s anyone (in the league) trying harder to do things than Montreal.” Mentions Dobson and reiterates that they want to add another forward to play with Demidov. “The Canadiens are aggressive.”

they never won anything with him… and that shall remain

its a very good signing value wise, no doubt about that.

I was really thinking the Leaf would try to make more changes

JT has kind of devolved into a 3C, PP guy. He struggled as 2c on the road because it was becoming an issue.
Now they need to address the 2c spot, and have a bit more change to get it done

Believe 23-year-old Emil Heineman is part of the return. Also believe both MTL picks (No. 16 & No. 17) will be part of this as well. -
-
-
seems like Heineman and our 2 1st fidopro
If that’s it, I give this trade an A+ grade.
Habs likely dumped some salary somewhere… or will.
-
sad to see Monsieur Emile go but it is what it is.
Yeah, he was a real bright spot last year, til he decided to body check a car.
Think he will be a decent middle 6 forward.

Yep, I have a feeing it’s Price’s contract to SJ. While it’s never happened before, I could be wrong.
my money is on Laine
I think one of Laine or more likely, Mattheson is gone.
Likely Price’s contract too, but after the bonus payout .

so,
Guhle Dobson
Hutson Carrier
Matheson Reinbacher
wifi Strube MaillouxThis looks exceptionally promising!!!
Not sure they keep Matheson.
I am fairly certain D are going to be traded for upgrades to the 2nd line, whether that is Matheson or some of the kids, I dunno.

Bigger than something like trading to get a pick in the 1st round.

In the past few decades, Montreal’s first round picks have been spotty to say the least, but in round 2 and latter rounds, we always seem to find gems. So it would not surprise me in the least if pick 41 or 49 ended up becoming a very solid NHL player.

Yeah, I was hoping for one (or both) of Wang or Nestrasil.
But think they pass on defence (Wang) and go for 2 forwards, if they keep those picks.
It would have been fun to keep saying big D Wang all the time.

#FlaPanthers re-sign Sam Bennett to an eight-year deal at an 8M AAV
that’s a lot of money considering he’s in FLA.
equals 9M+ here aie aie aie -
Matheson is gone. One year left on this deal as well.
Maybe they get a first round pick with him?
they wont get the centre that they that need with himUnless they use that pick to get it right after but that might be a reach
judging by the return on the trades that have been made so far, I’m not sure Matheson gets you a first…
-
after that trade, I would be open to trade Reinbacher for the right centre. Not sure about his current value with all of his injuries.
no no. eventually we’ll all want Carrier on the 3rd pair and Reinabcher on the top4

Dach, Newhook, Laine, Matheson, Struble, wifi, picks, any prospects beside Hage, Reinbacher or that goalie I forgot the name.

The weight has been lifted off his shoulder with a new CBA.

William Karlsson is probably available in vegas, they want to save capspace to go after Marner. picks and Mailloux
apparently they are not interested in trading him.
Maybe things change July 1st.
Still think the Habs backup plan is Granlund.
-
-
-
if they were able to get a #1RD without singing their top prospects…. pretty sure they can find a #2C
There will be an upgrade on the second line 100% – whether it is a center or a winger is TBD.

$10M was always a reach, $8M is still a little too much, but whateve
3 straight trips to the Final. The style he plays. 30 already. I don’t that contract is going to age well. Plus, he really isn’t that big. !90 lbs or so
I mean, good for him.
I get they want to go for a 3rd, and by the time the contract is close to over, the Panthers will likely be in rebuild mode anyways.

@Mash. That doesn’t seem like an issue

yeah and i am okay with it.
and this format does suck
“let’s try to poorly copy every other pro sports’ format and have the boring lawyer that almost every hockey fan hates to be the host… what could go wrong?!?”
-
-
I told you the Isles might trade Dobson. ” />
I like that trade for mtl a lot, but I really wonder what that 2nd line will look like next season. The off season is young I guess
tbh I really thought the roomers were false and that Darche would keep him and sign him long term, but I’m sure happy to have been wrong, especially considering Hughes didn’t have to trade away a top prospect or anything to acquire him… very impressive.

@Pat. I think they already said this was one and done.
with this format..?
why even go with it this year then..? loll

Kent Hughes à TVA Sports: “On a appris il y a trois ou quatre jours que Noah Dobson pourrait être disponible. On a beaucoup parlé à Mathieu et les agents de Noah. On voulait essayer de profiter de notre profondeur côté choix pour obtenir un joueur pour demain et les années futures. On s’est fait dire qu’on était le premier choix de Noah (Dobson). C’est ce qui nous a permis de réaliser l’échange. Quand on a la chance d’ajouter un jeune qui va grandir avec notre noyau, on va le faire, mais on veut aussi des joueurs d’expérience.”

yes Pat, we were patient for a long long time. finally starting to look like something.
btw, Hughes also said it’s not impossible to acquire a 1st pick later on tonight.well, in terms of the team’s success in general, sure, there’s been tough and miserable years, but concerning the rebuild you could argue they’re now getting ahead of schedule…
and noice, I’d be down for a “we have a trade” moment, this is so boring lol.

I still think Matheson might go for a late first round pick.
Also, Giroux will be a Habs before anybody here can grab the ass of a cop.

Noah Dobson à TVA Sports: “Très excité. Journée folle. Beaucoup de fans sur l’Ile-du-Prince-Edouard. C’est un rêve. Ils ont un bon jeune noyau. Dans les Maritimes, tu aimes les Maple Leafs ou le Canadien, mais il y a davantage de fans du Canadien sur l’Ile. Je me pince pour être sûr que je ne rêve pas. Hâte de mon premier match au Centre Bell!”

mais sérieux je l’aimais bien Heineman, mais je le voyais pas avoir un poste permanent dans un top 6, peut-être qu’il va me prouver le contraire, avec Roy comme coach on sait jamais lol.

I think he is a 2nd / 3rd line kinda guy.
I like him too, hope he does well with the Islanders…

well, hope they learned something.
that segment in the room for the kids to talk to the team which drafted them could be scrapped all together. instead put the team war room on the big screen behind Bettman while he makes the annoucement.
also, reconfigure the stage, too much walking around left and right. no need to watch Bettman walk to center stage to make the announcement when there’s a mic on the left side of the stage. he can walk to center stage after the annoucement. and then they walk to left stage to put the jersey on, and then walk all the way across to right stage to go into the team room…. too much walking!!
and no need to watch the kids highfive 20 others. mom and dad no problem, after that… hurry up to the stage.
4 1/2 hours is way way too long, especially with that new format. -

so traded 2 1st for Dobson, and 2 2nd for Zharofsky,
bravo Hugo! you had too many picks anyway.Dobson is 25. He fits with the core of this team, /good move, but Dobson wanted to play here as well, that help.

I’m kinda bummed out we had to trade Heineman as I liked Mr. Emile a lot.

But I understand you have to give to receive and Dobson is a solid addition to our blue line.Darche wanted him in the trade. Dont forget the Isles may end up with 2 good prospects in this as well.
But you still do it to get Dobson. He is a young 1st defenseman in this league.the focus is now on that 2nd line (see the Jordan Kyrou rumours)

Oh!, I’m VERY HAPPY with the Dobson trade … we got the better player in the trade.
It’s quite a coup by HuGo … getting a 25 years old talented RHD will really strengthen the right side of our defense.
RHDs are always hard to get.Yeah, just saw on RDS that we’re in the race to acquire Kyrou … should be interesting to see what HuGo can get done to help our offense.
-

Kyrou is a good player but not a center. that would probably mean Dach will get another chance. meh
When teams have a good centerman in the age group we’re looking for, they understandably don’t want to trade them.

-

it means its harder to get a good 2nd line centre out there than what you think.
If they can get a good top 6 forward, its still something they need. Other than Demidov, who belongs on that 2nd line? Laine? Newhook? Dach?
they can sign Giroux or Granlund on july first, short term move.

you’re right, Laine Dach and Newhook do not belong, but they are still on the team! trade them first, otherwise they’ll be on the 3rd line, with Gally and Anderson on the 4th, and we’ll be 15M over the cap

I know its not your cup of tea, but you need to be patient. Its not even july first yet. The off season is only starting.
Of course Kent Hughes want to clear some cap space. He will get some with Price and most likely Matheson. Matheson is a piece teams will want. Dach or Laine? Not really but lets wait and see what can be done here.

Yes … according to RDS:
“Pickford a aidé les Tigers de Medicine Hat à remporter le titre dans la WHL.
Après avoir été ignoré au repêchage l’année passée, il a inscrit 20 buts et 47 points en 48 matchs dans la saison régulière. Lors des séries éliminatoires, il a marqué un but dans huit matchs consécutifs, battant le record par un défenseur en séries dans la WHL, établi à sept matchs de suite.” – RDS

Yeah not sure about this pick. Looks like his stats were on steroids because he played with McKenna. This being said I haven’t seen him play maybe he’s the next Giordano

Tanqueray No.10 is pretty damn good.

tanqueray 10 is really good. i miss the original bottle though.
i had a good blood orange gin before so i think i might like this one. i usually stick to the non flavored ones too because i’m really just into the piney juniper taste, or at least that taste is what got me into gin in the first place.
the lime tanqueray (rangpur) is kind of too sweet but it sounds like this orange one is a cleaner kind of taste.

its more about mtl trying to get some space under that cap. The guy still has some value and could help in that regard. Maybe trading Matheson might be enough but Gallagher may be easier to trade than Laine or Dach as we speak.

oh the cap space is definitely being considered here as well, but generally speaking it’s also sound asset management to trade players towards the end of their career before their value drops off too significantly, especially when it’s a player like Gally who gets pretty banged up year after year.
I think they might be leaning towards keeping Matheson, I’m not sure Carrier is enough veteran presence to stabilize things on the backend.

In a cap world, I dont know if you can have a guy like Matheson on the third pair. Maybe this season with Lane Hutson still on his first contract?
Once they put Price on LTIR or if they can move him like they did with Shea Weber, that might help.

yeah he’s probably gonna have to give the habs a little “hometown discount” if he really wants to stay lol.

C’est la dernière journée pour les offres qualificatives!Chez le #CH, voici les joueurs qui devront être qualifiés pour retenir leurs services:
– Jakub Dobes
– Jayden Struble
– Rafael Harvey-Pinard
– Sean Farrell
– Xavier Simoneau
– William Trudeau
– Noel Hoefenmayer
– Gustav Lindstrom
– Cayden PrimeauÀ cause de leur contrat en 2024-25, c’est une réelle possibilité que Cayden Primeau et Rafael Harvey-Pinard ne soient pas qualifiés. C’est tout de même possible de leur faire signer un contrat par après s’ils le désirent.
Reste à voir si l’organisation a encore des plans pour eux.

It’s the last day for qualifying offers!At #CH, here are the players who will have to be qualified to retain their services:
– Jakub Dobes
– Jayden Struble
– Rafael Harvey-Pinard
– Sean Farrell
– Xavier Simoneau
– William Trudeau
– Noel Hoefenmayer
– Gustav Lindstrom
– Cayden PrimeauBecause of their 2024-25 contracts, it’s a real possibility that Cayden Primeau and Rafael Harvey-Pinard won’t qualify. It’s still possible to sign them afterward if they so desire.
It remains to be seen whether the organization still has plans for them.

Interesting discussion about the difficulty of getting a 2nd line center and the logic of trading (or not) for Jordan Kyrou from the Blues.

Habs have the assets. Makes sense. He’s actually good and not a roll of the dice like Dach/Newhook. Not sure why the Blues would want to move on? Berube is gone and Montgomery is a great coach for scoring.

According to D’Amico (in the video), the Blues have drafted a lot of wingers in the last few years and they need to make room for them in the lineup … their defense is also getting old so they are probably looking to improve in that area.
My guess is they also probably want to lower their salary load. JMO

So an Offer to : Dobes, Struble, Trudeau and Farrell me would think ?

If you are thinking about trading Reinbacher to get Kyrou, why not sign a guy like Ehlers or Boeser tomorrow and keep your assets?
Because the free agent has to want to sign there and Kyrou’s contract is a known quantity?
-

Centermen and RHDs (high draft picks) are much more valuable than wingers which are a dime a dozen.

you dont know that they wont come either.
I dont think mtl has the assets to pull this off. No assets that they would be willing to trade.

sure, but if you are the Blues, this is most likely what you would be asking for.
Unless mtl 2026 first round pick is in play? I dont know.

I wouldn’t blame the Blues for trying as it’s part of the negotiation process … but I would say NO if I was HuGo.
The only way I would let Reinbacher go is if we got a good young centerman in return … but what do I know, I’m just a fefan like everyone else here.-

true, but let say they start the season with the current roster, do you have Matheson or Carrier on your top4?
have to go with Matheson imo. if he is still here of course.
and then there’s the injuries. how many games before Guhle hurts himself again?
should be interesting -

should be interestingTough question … between the 2, I much prefer Carrier for his defensive play, we were going nowhere last year until we acquired him.
He really stabilized our defense core.For me, Matheson is the more expendable one as we already have 2 offensive Ds (Hutson & Dobson) in our top 4.

oh for sure no doubt I expect him to be traded for a top6 F, hopefully a C.
but then Matheson was extremely solid on the PK last season. with Savard retired, they’ll need someone to play these minutes. -

Marner 8×12 off to vegas
Leafs are going to miss his regular season production … but surely not his playoff performances (or disappearances).
Good player but too soft in the playoffs … the “Core Four” are no more.This should give the Leafs more flexibility in terms of money to sign missing pieces and the Marner Saga should be less of a distraction in Toronto.

I like Bolduc, good bottom6 guy, ti-gars de chez nous, but I hate trading a young RD for a winger. absolutely hate it.
Mailloux will be a 6th defenseman in the NHL at best, if he reaches the NHL at all.
Bolduc is already an NHLer at 22 years old. Oh and he is a centre. Not a winger.Would have been a good trade anyway even if he plays on the wing in mtl. Mtl has defense and Mailloux would not have crack this line up with Dobson, Reinbacher and Carrier all on the right side.
Mtl does not have a lot of young forwards prospects coming up other than maybe Florian Xhekaj and Owen beck.

Not likely to play down the middle with mtl anyway. I think Evans and Owen beck will be 3C and 4C. But if he can play centre from time to time if they need to, that might be nice.

I’ve been looking into that Zac Bolduc dude … and I really like what I see.
The kid is a good skater, has a good shot and is not afraid to go into the dirty areas … “il a du chien dans le nez“.
Only 22 years old so the best is still to come probably … looks like HuGo & Cie know exactly where they’re going with this team.Seems like a nice replacement for Mr. Emile that we sent to NYI.

good draft, good trades… looking good! slowly but surely

For Zach Bolduc
He scored 13 goals and 18 points in his final 24 games after beginning the season struggling to stay in the lineup.
Scouting reports say good shot, can play PP (7 goals), decent defensively (and getting better), can block shots, uses his body a bit. Seems a little prone to giving the puck away, at times.
Solid replacement for Heineman, maybe even better offensively, but perhaps not as good at using his body/defensively.

good draft, good trades… looking good! slowly but surely
They need more skills in that top 6, but sure.
And its looking more and more like Dach will be the 2C to start the season. -
Is Granlund a hand yet?
I believe he has 2 of them.

And its looking more and more like Dach will be the 2C to start the season.Asking price for top 6 centermen must be through the roof because MANY teams are looking for one.
Even Dvorak got a big contract with Philly … and he’s not close to being a top 6. -

We have Suzuki Dach Newhook Evans and kapanen if Dach can get his head out of his ass it’s not bad. I just don’t trust Laine to complete the top6 but Bolduc may have that potential.

I think trading for a top 6, to your point, is too expensive.
Granlund is still out there, but I think the Habs need to ditch some contacts / money first. They are already over the cap by a few million (likely trade Price Sept 1st though).

Dach just needs to stay healthy.
Bolduc can / has played center, not sure if he is another realistic option.
Ideally, Laine gets traded.

how the fuck does guy keep getting multi-year contracts? Honestly. Any one of us knows enough to not sign that guy, let alone a multi-year contract. Unreal

He played center his 2 first juniors years but at wing his last two and at wing since he turned pro. He’s probably more efficient at wing where he can be more aggressive on the fore check, he likes to hit.

Not very much. He is a winger in the NHL. He is a pain in the ass and likes to stir the shit as it were.

Well, expect the unexpected with HuGo.
I like the Zachary Bolduc trade, I am fine with sending out Mailloux (who I do not think had a place on the team with Dobson’s arrival). They sold high on him and got a good / interesting return.
I did expect some players to be moved out (Matheson, maybe Laine) looking to get more help on the second line. Maybe when team were shutout of the players they tried to get in UFA will circle back around to the Habs to fill their needs.
Overall, we got the unexpected, but I think they are far from done.

Great day/week IMO
Getting Dobson was HUUGEEEE!
Bolduc is a nice addition and still has some untapped potential
Blais is also a positive addition. Way better than the Pezz and he should fit right in on the 4th line. -
No gonna lie, I think that contract for Armia is very fair, one of the better signings this year.
He probably still has some ok hockey in him but he’s on the back 9 of his career for sure.
I’m just curious to see if the Habs will trade for a 2/3 center before season starts

Half the league is looking for a 2nd line centre
After Suzuki, they have Dach, Newhook, Evans and Beck that can play at centre. Those are probably mtl centres for next season. At least to start the season. Bolduc is a winger at this point.
Maybe at some point they try Demidov as a C, but Hughes said it was not his plan to start the season.

Don’t know if he’ll play, line up should look something like this I guess :
Caufield-Suzuki-Slaf
Laine/Bolduc – Dach – DemidovThen it gets weird, Gallagher and Anderson were good together..
Maybe Gallagher – Evans – Anderson?

I wouldn’t either tbh

yep. need a #2C, and after losing Dvorak also need a #3C.
they could always go with Dach and Newhook but that won’t be pretty.I disagree, both Newhook and Dach are much better looking than Dovrak. Pretty much anybody is.
-
Too early to make line ups IMO, HuGo still have some work to do
Yeah but it’s fun to do.
Also, it take two to tango, there’s no guarantee he’ll find a dance partner. There’s a strong possibility that these are the pieces that St-Louis will have to work with and the start of the season at least.

You saw the $$ centres were getting on the open market. Hughes is right not to go with this madness.
Also, Hughes knows this team is not a cup contender next season. He made a big trade for Dobson, but dont expect him to solve everything all at once. I think he said something about that idea as well.
We dont know how a guy like Bolduc will look up front, he may be a good fit on the other wing with Demidov. Or bring some skills and grit on that bottom 6.
Guys like Newhook and Dach have contrats and are still on this team as we speak. They both can play centre and st-louis might need them to do just that.
Maybe Hughes can make a trade later this summer, he has done that in the past. Or he can start with this team and see how it goes. More teams could be open to trade around US thanks guiving and near the trade deadline.
If you want to make a trade, you need somebody to trade with. Never forget that part.

I looked at a reel of all of Bolduc’s goals last year, he has a great shot. 80% of them where from center of the ice high slot with either a one timer or a wrister. Looks like he’s great at fiding the open ice to make himself open.
I think he might fit in well with Demidov who likes to skate with the puck and create plays.
I don’t think Laine will be a great fit, too static and whoever they will be centered by won’t be a selke nominee for sure. You need another winger that can play the 200 foot game and I think Bolduc is more capable in that department or otherwise. I think Demidov, Dach, Laine is too much of a liability. -

I am curious to see how Laine and Dach will be this coming season. Both came into camp last year either not in shape or still recovering. Both are expected to come in 100% this year….
and both will play for a new contract

Like you, I could see him working well eventually with Demidov as their styles are complimentary … Bolduc also brings in that 200 foot game (physical aspect/puck retrieval/forechecking).
The more I watch videos of Bolduc, the more I like his play … he seems like a stubborn dog on a bone. 🙂
Great replacement for Heineman with a lot more upside IMO.As for Laine, I don’t see him being with the team once his contract is up at the end of the season … he barely moves out there, his only asset is his shot and the opponents know it.
He’s way too expensive for what he brings (PP specialist only). -
Guys, for the last few years, I have been more interested / excited about the changes / moves / development HuGo and team were doing.
But cone this October, I think I genuinely will be more exited about watching the games than I have been in years.
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.

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.

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.

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.

He’s way too expensive for what he brings (PP specialist only).Only thing is that Dobson should open up things down low. Hutson is great but he has no shot. Teams weren’t worried about his shot so they were able to have more guys down low to defend. With Dobson who has a great shot they will have to respect his shot, this will stretch out the defensive box and open-up passing lanes. It should help Laine find space and to get open.
But Caufield can also do this so I don’t see a future for Laine either, that’s why I hope they put Bolduc on the top 6 and 2nd PP unit

He has a shot at the cup next season and maybe one last big contract at the end of it. Smart move for everybody even if I know some fans like to hate him. I dont.
3rd time i try to reply to do this

Did you see the highlights from the Russian guy? He looks fun to watch also feels like a Kovalev-Ribeiro hybrid.
Needs to work on his skating, going to give St-Louis more gray hair but looks like fun

What an amazing offseason so far for Montreal! Will blog about it soon! Hope you guys have been well.
I would say it’s a great offseason, if they get a 2nd C it becomes amazing.
If they get rid of Laine and Price’s contract than it’s perfect

having a center line of Suzuki Dack Newhook Evans won’t cut it.
who would take faceoffs on the PK beside Evans?
there’s only one way to make this work and it’s to have Evans #3C and Beck #4C.
unless they get another C of course.
GO HABS GO!We have a guy called Nick Suzuki

yeah, I have a feeling they’ll wait for Hage to make the team instead of selling the farm for a #2C
that would be much smarter

well, it could make sense if there’s a deal to be made for an established 2C without having to give up a ton of prospects, but there’s no point in overpaying either since the team isn’t in “win now” mode yet..

Hot take: after reflection, I think the Habs will miss Dvorak in the lineup, especially if the roster stays remains as is.

Yes, but you would all pretend it was a genius move until he got fired and you could all act as if you knew the move was bad all along

I’ve explained why on the precedent page, add also that the played with Demidov last year

my though exactly lol
but that should be an easy one, wasn’t he playing with Demidov over there? -

Thoughts on the Flyers signing Dvorak?
He’s a useful bottom 6 centre that will help them for a year, they have the cap space to overpay him to make sure they get him. I see no issue with it aside from the fact the Flyers should still be looking to acquire top 5 picks instead of trying to improve so I don’t understand what Brière is trying to do by bringing him in.
-
In blogging news, I finished the blog and it will be posted tomorrow as the top story on the hot stove. Woo!
Stop bragging!

He was Demidov’s center for parts of last year….

well, to be fair Dvorak doesn’t necessarily represent a significant enough improvement to keep the team out of a lottery spot for next year lol

I get he played with Demidov and he used to be a good NHL player.
He’s a gamble at best.

Sign to a low value contract with bonuses, if he sucks, dump him. Not much of a risk if there is not a big cap hit, and if he is gone, no bonus overage for the following year.
I think he can still play, but he is not the player he was obviously…. could be a 40-50 point guy, but I am not sure that is good enough to be our #2 center. I’d likely stick with Dach over him.
The only reason they would consider it is because he was a mentor to Demidov last year.

I would also agree, better try Dach one last time than sign the russian
having both options might not be such a turrible thing either.

Cheap 1 year w/ performance / games played bonus to make up for the low salary.
More than that, not worth the risk.

this quote option really is a pain in the ass, tabarnak.
really?

agreed, with all things considered I highly doubt that Hughes would be offering a multi-year deal anyway, so the “risk” would be indeed minimal.
how much cap space do they even have left for next season? Thats kind of a key thing to know
They have a lot of guys under contract already for 2025-2026. Dach is one of them. We can like it or hate it, but its still a fact at the end of the day.
This is still a better team for next season anyway, with Demidov, Bolduc and Dobson.

yeah I think they’re currently over the cap, so there’s some salary management to be done for sure.
