time to move on with Armia
Why did they pick Mesar, instead of Howard ?
Trois Rivieres finished 5th overall in the league and is 5-0 to start the playoffs. They are also having a great season.
Pass on Howard. We don't need a contrary, demanding princess.
Package Army Man and pretty Peppermint Patty for a 2nd line centre.
I wouldn't trade for Howard's rights. He's obviously a great prospect, but we have so many of those. We need veterans with some size, grit and playoff experience. The series against the Caps proved that.
If he takes a considerable salary decrease, he could be very useful. There are always injuries and Armia when healthy is a awesome penalty killer. He can take some big shifts to protect the lead. A 2-3 year contract at about 2.5 would not hurt at all
We don't need any more small players under 6 ft. , and we have enough US college boys on the team. We won't compete in this league for a cup unless we start getting bigger, heavier, faster, and tougher players asap. We have plenty of small players in our system already. Look around the league, all of the top level teams are bigger than we are and continue to get even bigger as the seasons go by. The right kind of players we need are available in Canada, and have grown up playing aggressive, tough hockey. Hughes, please stop looking south for the right players!
Time to move on. Remember how bad he was. Not just this year.
Reinbacher looks good! He’ll be with the Habs at the beginning of the season! And Fowler, he’ll be with the Habs sooner than later.
Great show! Don’t forget the Victoire.
I'm so hype for Jacob Fowler !
The only trade we need to make is for a legit second line center. No need for another prospect right now.
In my NHL 2025 Be A Pro season BOTH Lane Hudson & Sean Farrell are tied near the top of the leader board for the Calder Trophy…the future is looking bright even in the virtual world!!!
Armia is excellent on the PK and if not resigned it will create a void for a certain time but, the young talent like Heineman, Kapanen Beck are in the pipeline and we should give these kids a place to affirm themselves in the NHL »
Doubling down on a 31 year old who is on the down side is not someone who Hughes should be pursuing at this stage of the re-build.
I'm still sticking with a unique Habs hat…with a story to tell.
But I am here to say this….your friendship with one another is incredible.
Not many people use each other's first names like you do.
Something that might be small to others…but for me that is just incredible!!!
Habs future is bright. Love what Laval is doing.
As always…love you banter and insight on our team!!!
GHG guys!!!
Keep the content coming…I will watch everyday.
🙌
The question is: is a 32 yr old Armia better than a 21 yr old Beck, or 21yr Roy etc. etc. Same question has to be answered for Dvorak, Gallagher, Pezzetta etc.etc. If Dvorak , for example is still better than these young prospects, you keep him, I suppose. But ultimately, the Habs need to make room for many of these young prospects, sooner than later…But in a meritocracy, these young prospects need to beat out these veterans fair and square..

(Please realize I know this likely won’t happen. Fun thinking for me. Enjoy!)
The need is for an established centre. Any assets need to be deployed to buy one. We will need to over pay as any GM worth his salt knows this
If Armia is to return, it would be as a 13th forward. Sign him to a 1 year extension, 1 mil or less, and he has to be ok with not being in the lineup every night.
Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky
Demidov-2C-Laine
Newhook-Dach-Anderson
Heineman-Evans-Gallagher
Armia-Veteran Depth C as extras
I think Kapanen needs a season in Laval, if he isn’t apart of the package to acquire the 2C.
I remember Howard being interviewed at the draft and he said he was the best looking guy there.. I also remember thinking, OMG what a fat head on that guy! Now he doesn't want to play for the team (A good team BTW) who drafted him. I don't know if he fits the Canadiens "team first" attitude. That's I feel about the situation but who really knows what he's thinking. That's already 2 red flags for me though.
Ivan Demidov t-shirt from the Habs store 👌
Something has to give with the Habs, because we have yoo many talented young guys coming up. We need to make space for Beck, Florian (in my opinion hes ready) , Reinbacher, and Mailloux. Not to mention Demidov full time and Dach returning. Therea just not enough room on the team to bring up young talent and keep mid level veterans.
Howard ? Nah , Habs were out muscled very recently as they are too small ….They need to Build Back Bigger & Better
Keep Army , an unsung star …2 years @ 2.25 M
Another note, my gut tells me Kapanen will get traded in a deal for a second line Center this summer. I don't see him fit in the top 6 next season or in the bottom 6. I like Kapanen and all but it's easier to get a second line center with giving someone in return and Kapanen has value.
Fowler will make the Habs next season. He's our Goalie of the future.
lost me at 5 11 for howard
At 5' 11" I'm not interested we need big forwards we already have too many smurfs, yes they're good players but we just have too many and we seen what happened in the playoffs against a bigger physical team. We shouldn't look at anyone under 6' 2" and who isn't from North America, we need grit and most Europeans don't play a hard physical game.
dont need another small guy unless we can trade Gallagher…which aint happening
Montreal needs to get bigger not smaller 🎉🎉🎉.
I think this season was an outlier for Howard. Stay away.Stay the course. Bo Horvat!
So, another sub 200 lbs. player. Thankfully, the NHL is going to allow Montreal to carry 3 extra players on the roster. Gotta get team size up, right.
Isaac Howard… Just no… Notwithstanding possible "character" issues this refusal points to, we don't need another talented under-6 foot winger… Washington series proves we need to had some significant height and weight…
Demidov t shirt for sure. Keep Pezzetta 💯
Armia hustles, but I leave it to Kent Hughes to figure out what he deserves.
Gallagher needs to retire… he spent more time on his ass than on his feet against the Capitals
Go habssss
How do you keep this passion?
Yeah unless Armia wants to sign a 1M contract and play on the 4th then no interest
Ken Hughes better not sign that bum armia
Ken Hughes better not sign that bum armia…. Thank you we got one smart guy out of you too.
