  1. Lol great show again Amy and Rick. Rick i love your reply ,but i ll explain myself clearer. Lol , I pray we get to go out for a beer someday and shoot the shit. Most things we are in agreement on . However you realize i must turn it back again lol . I know i ld have so much fun with you both if we were out for brew talking hockey. First i ll answer this weeks question than go into out 2nd rounder and later pick discussion . My confidence in habs grabing final wild card is at between a 3 and 4 . I still think this schedule is going to catch up to us and Ottawa seems to have first wild card almost locked. So i think were going to wear down and i dont have nuch faith in Montie, and unfortunately i dont think Dobes is getting a fair shake, and now i believe he s sat too long , you could see him swim abit in his crease the last time he played. Thats on habs coach s for sitting him too long. So now we may have too rely on Montie too much for my liking. And i think Montie allowing 2 to 3 bad goals a game is going to burn us in the end. And again i think both n y teams have too much experience compared too habs . And they both have better starting goalies which i think its going to come down too. And i still think Rangers with their scoring power and goaltending will win out in the end . And the Islanders would be the next if rangers fail with their less games remaining . Cause Islanders have a better starter as well and alot more expience. But very proud of habs. I just cant see putting my faith in Montue. But habs have definitely shown positive signs for future. Now back to Rick lol Heres what i meant dont quote me on how the future lines will be ,but the names are here for the lineup / Caufield , Suzy, Slaf. Line 2 Demedov Hage in future, Heinemen. Line 3 Roy ? Beck, Sawyer. Line 4 Tuch , f. Xhekaj/ Evans , Thorpe fowards thats 13. Defense Hutson , Guhle 2nd pairing Enstrom, Reinbacker 3rd pairing A. Xhekaj, Maioux. 7th d Struble. So now were at 13 +7+ 3 goalies . One of those goalies will probably be the starter in ahl . So goalies 1 Fowler, 2 Dobes. 3 the Russian goalie propect who has played well over there. So thats 23 . And the you normally have a couple of players that surprise us in the system. With all those names our contacts for nhl roster will be filled and that not including if we get a # 2 center to fill in while Hage develops. So there s no big league contract space that lk be left . Thats why i say we have to be careful. So we dont need a shot at 2nd rounders and later in this draft . Were going to be full. Yes their can be the odd surprise in 2nd round and later, but we dont need that especially when only the top 15 players this are projected to possibly be impactfull players. And we have far too many picks already that i believe Hughs will use in draft to line up a # center for the here and now. One player in our lineup i m not certain about is Roy. Hes starting to pick it up though. And owe i forgot Kapenen, andi do think he ll be on this team. I dont think Laine is long term. So that was what i meant we have the players to fill all the contracts nhl wise that we ll have space for. Thats why i didnt want latter picks this year , and even the following couple of season we wont be in any hurry roster wise. But i get where your coming from. Thats the only reason just on this situation i dont agree on . Lol however i do respect both your opinuons . You both have great hockey minds. Thats why i usually agree 99 % of the time with you both.Thank God we have common sense and and can respectfully disagree this once. Lol Its all in love, cause i have great repect for you both . But Rick made this one fun. Lol You had me roaring. Great debate. I just pray there s no more reclamation projects. I m tired of those Newhook and Dach both been disappointing . So we dont need anymore of those type trades anymore , just proven pro s now . We need to have a beer and habs duscussion s someday , cause we think alot alike on most. But great show keep them coming . Lots of fun this is . Great show. P.s. i do see those as our future roster i m sure there may be one or two tweeks to that roster such as the replacment For Laine down the road, and will Roy grab his oppertunity.
