    It's amazing, Buffalo PP literally passed the puck around at will with several high quality chances. Jake Allen stood his ground. Why can't Montreal set up like that? Marty won't be able to deflect those questions all year.

    Some fans want to trade the vets for picks. Who won that game tonight? The old vet line of Monahan, Pearson and Lep with a strong performance from Jake Allen. Nuff said.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Just suggesting, as the season progresses that teams will be lined up for Hab vets. Just don't trade a single one to the leaf.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I questioned Gally's abilities a couple threads back. I'm happy to state I was wrong. While he may have slowed down, the old kidA is still in there and it's got to be energizing for the young guys on this team to see him drive the net and scoring goals. Hopefully some of that rubs off on a couple of these youngsters and they can pick up the mantle.

    If Monahan stays healthy he will be VERY valuable at the deadline. The Habs are already owed a first round pick just for taking him off of Calgary's hands (look at the conditions on CapFriendly and if you figure it out let me know :-) ). He in theory would fetch a very high round pick if he keeps up his play, maybe a first, but a second for sure. And they could, in theory, if he hits free agency, sign him again if desired so they could have Monahan and 2 high picks for absolutely nothing. The 2 picks for sure.

    As moe has suggested, certain teams with championship aspirations may come calling for some of the veterans on the Habs. I don't know about the rest of you but I am tired of watching losing hockey and kinda, sorta hoping for them to lose to secure a really high draft pick. Two seasons of that is enough. This season, I want them to win as many games as possible. Raise your hand if you enjoyed watching Pez score in OT and do the Tiger Williams tribute after in Buffalo last March? I sure did! That extra point probably cost them a shot at one of the big 4 C's in June but I don't care. That was huge for team morale. I want more of that.

    So, trading vets, OK but only if the return is more than a late first round pick. I want a good young prospect who is NHL ready AND a pick. Who should HuGo trade if the price is right? Right off the bat, maybe David Savard but he is francophone so probably not. I would keep Monahan, hands down their best center, only 28 lots left in the tank. I would hang on to Tanner Pearson, reminds me of Toffoli who they should have kept. KidG, nope, career Hab, don't care about the contract, they can always find a spot for him. Maybe Jake Evans or Dvo but only if Beck is ready. Josh, he is still effective in his own way, not going to score a lot but good physical presence I'm keeping him as well. Jake Allen, maybe at the deadline but I wouldn't. He is still too valuable in the room and a good fall back position if Monty doesn't pan out. Not sold on him yet. Army, sure if you can find a taker.

    Anyway, not sure what's up with Suzuki, he doesn't look right, hurt maybe and trying to keep the Iron Man streak going? CC, not getting a lot of open looks, the opposition are keying in on him. RHP is not a good fit with those two, makes the line way too small.

    Finally, in total agreement with moe, give the pathetic leaf nothing. Nor the stinkin' beaners. Effem.

    3rd game in 4 nights, I will gladly take a tie (aka OT/SO loss).

    I think our former friend Toffee is playing for NJ now, isn't he? Looks like Savard is out for a while, broken hand maybe? We get Petry-lite Gus Lindstrom, 0 points and -6 in 4 AHL games... ouch!

    Also, bonus, the game is on tsn tonight for us unilingual anglos, so no asshat gary gawley to ruin it.

    1. Dang, the injury bug again! Buffalo is where BBQ first got his foot/ankke hurt early in the 2019-20 season if memory serves - the injury that probably still hasn't fully healed after he kept playing on it.

      At least the new medical staff is smart enough to shut Savvy down before it gets worse.

    Interesting interview with Mark Chipman of the Jets ... he says rebuilds can take 5, 7 even 10-12 years ... if that's true, and it quite possibly is, Habs fans should hunker down for the long haul.

  81. Slaf should be in Laval. No question. And don't replace him with Joshua Roy. Leave him there to season for the year.

    RHP was a great story last year. But he isn't a first line player. NiCole need a big, skilled winger. I hoped Josh Anderson was that guy but nope.
    So I'd say that player isn't on this team yet. Unless it's Dach but I think he may be the eventual #1 C.

    HuGo are all about collecting draft capital so I predict that player arrives via trade. If the Habs continue to surprise and look like a potential playoff team in Feb/March it might even be as soon as the trade deadline. Otherwise it's the off season UFA or trade.

      Totally agree. I predict Slaf will be part of a package with picks to get an elite winger for NiCole.

    3. the Maritimer9:06 PM

      @UK3X, I know advanced stats are the 'new' thing but I still go by the eye test. I've watched many players come in the league as 18 year old's and you can pretty much pick out the ones that 'have it'. Slaf doesn't. No hockey IQ, just a big body that played really well against poor competition at a couple of international events, that Nick Bobrov took a shine to. At best he might be a second line winger who scores 15 a year. The Habs didn't like Shane Wright, fine, take the BPA who was Logan Cooley. The Habs will regret not taking Michkov.

      I plan to not follow the top draft prospects lists this year because I just know they will pick another 'project' and not the sure thing. Good on them for picking Caufield though, but even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then.

      Delete
    4. I agree with UK3X. I see LastSlaf is making progress.

    5. I think he came be effective but looks lost and unsure what to do with the puck at crucial times. I'm saying give him top line and powerplay time in Laval. But I also think anybody not named Caufield or Suzuki are potential trade chips in Hughes' book.
