Something I find interesting is that so much of the hockey world is trade talking with Marner, but I never hear anyone talk about trade proposals to the Habs. As a Habs fan, I'm not sure how I would feel about him on the team, but Montreal seems to fit all of the boxes for a Marner trade:
– Needs more forward production offensively, Marner has that
– Has the cap space to spend on him
– Toronto needs blue liners and draft picks, Montreal has tons of blue liners and draft picks to trade
– Age wise, fits their rebuild window pretty well
You guys have such a bright future! That being said… go leafs go
Getting the wrlcome mat ready for Demidov. Say, you guys wouldn't happen to need a right shot defenseman now, would you?
Dach is viewed as the 2nd line center, not Newhook. well, unless Dach breaks again.
Honestly want him to re release the other video, I just want to see it
Thanks for the video!
Harvey Pinard is the kind of guy that could be looked at as a guy who had one good season and never quit got there again or as a guy like marchand that could possibly climb up a roster throught pure work ethic
Habs first line is incredible and keeps them dangerous even while rebuilding. Like their goaltending. Rest of the team will come along and I trust Kent Hughes and Martin St. Louis to pull the trigger to push for a return to the playoffs at the right time, which sounds like it could be as soon as 2025-26.
Fans need to wait one more year before getting even a little impatient.
I know you’ve never been to Montreal, Shannon, but I’m sure you would have no shortage of friends willing to show you and your family around if ever you did take a trip here. Imagine going to a Habs VS B’s game at the Bell Center? Thanks for the video as always, was looking forward to it ✌️👍
24-25 will be the habs 3rd year of the rebuild, they are nowhere ready to make a push and this is fine. people need to relax with trading matheson and Anderson.
Kent Hughes's plan is in the cap : Anderson and Galhager contracts ends in 2027. so 27-28 is where they make their push to the top.
So if I bet 5$ on the Cup to the Habs in 2025, I would win 1,000$ 🤔 hmmm
Gally in the top6 is hilarious. If anything, I'd see Armia then Anderson before Gally on the 2nd line.
0 chance Gallagher plays in the top 6. lol
Do you think they find a way to move on from their 2 bad contracts in Gallagher (6.5 AAV) and Anderson (5.5 AAV)? Absolutely brutal price to pay for 20 pts at most
Shannon needs a Vacay ! get this man a hot tub and a Scotch 🎉
Les Habituales
Bloopers for members would be pretty cool and for sure funny 😂
I think there should be another take, as there is a grammatical error on the board. Technically it's; *in rounds 1 through 4!
😂
Habs fan here. THG calls it well this time – no argument from me whatsoever. It's a slim possibility that Montreal would take enough of a leap forward to vie for a WC spot toward the end of the season. They are in a tough division but so are Ottawa and Buffalo.
Last year no other team in the league had a worse record against divisional rivals. Montreal was 5-13-8 vs the rest of the teams in the Atlantic. If their young players develop enough that they find a way to win more games against Ottawa, Detroit, etc. , then yeah, they should improve in the standings. All other things being equal – which, of course, they rarely are.
I agree, outtakes/bloopers would be fun..!
Habs fan here, keep up the great work, HockeyGuy! Even though you’re a B’s fan, your analysis of the Habs is always fair and balanced… 👍
2 things I don't understand with injury contracts. Who pay the 10,000,000$ salary of Carey Price, is-it the NHL? And Shea Weber, why Arizona took is contract, what was their interest? And the same question, who pay the Weber salary and Why Montréal did not trade the contract of Carey like they did with Shea?
Thanks Shannon!
Why so make takes?
Habs stink. Still stink. And will stink next season
The beloved Canadiens goaltender Marchesbeault
Maybe it's just my bias but I really don't see this team as being bad next season. Primeau is a lot better goalie than people give him credit for and I think a lot of the young players are ready for the NHL.
Dach is probably the C on Newhook’s line btw. I guess they both play both positions, but I feel like Dach is seen as the stronger C and will probably play primarily there. Maybe if they’re on the same line they just switch based on which side the faceoff is taken from though
Like your content but thats a confusing title.
Once Montreal can trade/release/buyout either Gallagher or Anderson that is when they will be able to go to the next phase of the rebuild. I’m guessing this year if Dach can stay healthy they will finish around 20-25 overall. Between Dvorak savard Evans and armia contract leaving. Next summer they will have a lot of cash to spend and demidov should be coming. So season 25-26 they should start thinking about the playoffs
GO HABS GO! Allez Montréal! ❤
So Im new to the sport and I have to ask: why are Montreal called the Habs? Where does the origin come from? Thanks for the insight.
5:36 Dach will and is the 2nd line center.
8:14 Don’t forget Engström for next year.
9:06 No, Monty was the best and played against better teams than Primeau.
10:40 Nah, RHP is a 4th liner with big heart but limited talent.
Hutson and Reinbacher should start in laval until chrismas after that we'll see. Mailloux must outshine the competition and i think he can if not laval too. Gallagher can not be top 6 the legs can't follow any more, if Armia (a big if) continues to play like he did at the end of last year could be a fit on the top 6, but Roy should grab that spot if he's ready
GHG
You got it right, gallagher is not top 6
I like josh anderson more than Gally
Suzuki, Caufield, slafzilla, dach, newhook
No question top 5, then that 6th spot… Roy sure
Primeau somwtimes let's in softies but i think its the right tandem for the short term, enough to keep in games for entertainment but respectfully loses enough for high draft pick
