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.
So too early to start talking about the 2026 draft then?
Symba exclaimed:
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.
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.
Kick noted:
on HB. smillie did a habs blog.
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.
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.
Braiden. with puppy dog eyes, stated:
Granlund as 2C in MTL?
I think he might be their back-up plan.
I would not be against a 2-3 years deal while they look for something better – either trade, UFA, Dach actually shows up for 82 games or Hague is the real deal.

jebus… 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 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….
Symba meowed:
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.
I did think he might come to MTL and fill in for a few years, but a 4 year contract… yeeeeesh.
Pass.
Braiden asked:
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.
Kick exclaime!
canada, wake up! i don’t think it’s gonna be real busy today! i demand entertainment!
You got the day off?
Some of my American clients and team members do, others do not.
With this comment, Kick made me think about…
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.
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.
