If habs get a real 2C and Demi dog next year pushing Laine to our 6th best forward. That becomes an elite team
You are right the leaf game will haunt us, the divorak cross bar that lead to the first leaf goal, how does the puck hit the cross bar and then goes all the way down the ice for a 2 on 1. If he scores we win that game
I don't care what anyone says, Laine is a beast and the players love him. We need to keep him…
Great show Sean! I would trade and get Monaghan back for 2C
The Shaun Starr show brought to you by Titleist. Titleist, the #1 ball in golf!
Ideally bennet would be the choice, Duchesne would be good, as would Granlund, ideally the person could take divoraks place for big faceoffs.
I think the second round centre is coming via trade market….
Edmonton has to beat the Rangers today!!! Then we'll have 2 games in hand and only 1 point back
c-e-n-t-R-E, centre.
Who do you sit if guhle, comes back, struble playing really well on the right side
Look at the record that Montreal has with laine in the lineup and without case closed don’t even mention the morons they don’t matter
Brock Nelson lmao hard pass even at league minimum…go all in for Tage Thompson, Buffalo is cheap and dumb enough to do it…2 1sts this year, 1st next year plus one of our top prospects not named Demidov
Cole-Nick-Slaf
Laine-Tage-Demidov
SICK!!!!
FA’s 2-3 year deals
1 Duchene
2 Granlund
I would even trade a pick for the signing rights, get ahead of July 1st bidding war Habs not the only team looking for a 2C, Winnipeg & Vancouver for sure will need one
Bennet too much term & money + Florian could develop into a Bennet C
Could also Trade for a young C but with playoffs being the goal next year the Habs can’t afford gamble maybes like Dachs or Newhooks at time they trade for them early I. Rebuild sure, they could afford to gamble but not this offseason.
They need to be smart, shrude yet frugal
Give me Bennett all day long one of the best in Stanley cup final drags other into the fight exactly what you need
Glad you are getting some sunlight, you look translucent.
Not questioning Laine’s integrity, just questioning his work ethic and usefulness when he plays 5 on 5 .
Also worried about how he might hinder Demidov’s development next year .
They need to insulate that kid with solid veterans and avoid making the same mistake Chicago’s making with Bédard.
The Habs will have plenty of cap space and they have plenty of picks to make a REAL deal and overpay for a legit center this summer. If you want a Sam Bennett type player … it's gonna cost big time ….but think of the team we'll have …..
J,Roy, Trudeau a 1st and 3rd for B. Horvat.
I’m always negative and pessimistic in fear of coming off as bias but last night game was almost flawless , I rarely say good things about Slafkovsky but I think last night was his best game ever , he was on Seth jones like a fly on shit and his forecheck was elite
The refs almost ruined it again , the refs have been brutal throughout the nhl this year , more so than usual , these refs are costing and playing with teams incomes and records , wtf was that last night? Interference on Heineman but nothing on Benett on floridas only goal?
There’s only one…..CROSBY
Byfield?
About Malkin? He has only 1 year left to his contract and makes less than gallgher , he’s a winner and hates losing , he’s a lefty and there would be zero commitment , he’s also Russian and would help demidov transition to the nhl .
Malkin would be cheap and Montreal has good history with end of career Russians and just Russians in general
To me malkin would be the perfect temporary fix until prospect are ready for the big time
Do we want an always injured Brazal who can’t win faceoffs? Do we want to overpay Benett for 7 years ? Do we want a really slow horvat who has a heavy contract, do we want a zegras that bought his heart at the same store Auston matthews bought his at?
There’s not much available out there in term of elite players , but a center needs to be added ,
# 88 for Ivan, would be nice.
As for Monty , for 3.5/ season , you couldn’t get better
Kirby Who???
Hockey isn’t a sport in Montreal , it’s a religion and the bell center is St. Peter’s basilica . No other sports can’t survive . Montreal is hockey Mecca , ground zero !
4th liner in Montreal are more famous than first liner in most American market
I remember a pregame show when Montreal faced Carolina in the playoffs 20 years ago , the years koivu almost lost an eye , they had a team outside the Carolina arena , they were asking fans what they tought about Staal, most of them didn’t know who he was , than they switch to the street of Montreal where they had held a survey earlier , they interviewed a 70 year old lady about the same playoffs series , the old lady went on about everything , she knew everyone on the Carolina team , she even smack talked cam Ward 😂😂😂
