Habs aren't doing this, this is just a discussion for the sake of discussion
I like Trocheck but only for this year and next. Not the two years after.
no , right hand center and too small
Sit out Gallagher.
kapanon will make 50 pts in rookie season , he stays .
The Canadiens need a fast, big winger who can win puck battles and play a 200-foot game. Why would you take on that Trochek contract?
Is Shesterkin available? I would package something for him, yes I know he’s injured.
I don't have a problem with Laine or showing him some respect. I just think he'll be a cap casualty sooner rather than later.
Hard NO on Vinny-T, would much prefer a bigger move (Robert Thomas).
I'm excited to see Evans & Dach back in the lineup. Laine… remains to be seen
JT Miller all the way baby!!! just kidding…. none of these returning players will help mtl hold on to that playoff spot. they will drop to 9th by mid feb. that's ok as they will continue to build
Laine is defensive liability. Habs can't play him anywhere in the line up.
Go with the youth. No to trochek. Develop our prospects and build the culture and loyalty for this organization.
No to Trocheck, we need Jason Roberston.
Cus of how we reaquired sami blais i do believe he does not have to go through waivers to go to laval next time….no we do not need nor want a center at all especially trocheck we have Hage comming plus we already got danault for now…honestly i love texier but he is not going to be hot forever , we need a top line bulldog winger that can finish …future fit is Tij Iginla ,wont bother me a bit if guhle is traded for Tij…rental winger is Krieded….we do not want any if the names you mentioned
Keep dreaming about a 2C .. we got kapanen and hage..
Editing stepped up recently! Congrats and keep it up!
The only one I care to have back is Evans. PLEEEEAASSEEEE forget about Dach & Laine. We know they'll only get injured again after a handful of games. It would be stupid to lose a guy to waivers just to bring them in for 2 or 3 weeks.
We do not need to add anyone for the post season. we are not contenders yet (not even next season we need Fowler to have a full NHL season xp under his belt before we go all in for rentals) and we have guys coming back. I don't want to see any assets or draft picks sold for this year's post season let as many young guys get playoff XP as possible. Keep the Faith and Go Habs Go!
I would ask if Will Cuylle would be available.
I have completely lost track…I thought we had a cap hit problem?
With a three week break during the Olympics, the Habs should be a well rested team that will dominate most teams. I'm optimistic for this team. I am not in the camp that believes they need more size. They have plenty of big players. Nobody described the Blackhawks as a big bodied team when they won those 3 cups. Same for the Lightning and the Penguins. The Habs in the 70's were not overly big either but they beat everybody, handily..All these teams won because of talent and heart. I think the Habs have plenty of both and could surprise in the playoffs.
i firmly agree with malmacian_crunch2641
Trocheck is not an upgrade. Getting bigger should be the priority! Habs are afraid of playing against bigger teams getting pushed around. That’s why Dach, Liane and others who don’t hit nearly enough is what NEEDS to happen. We’re too soft. Gallagher thank you for your services, take a seat in the box rest of the way. Absolutely useless out there.
Nemec is an answer.
Anderson with Suz and Cole is like a wind of positive change. Anderson is a strong, quick shooter with the heart of a lion. At the same time, he can defend Cole and Suzi at any time and throw down the gloves for them.
Dont need any forwards, for this season.
Suz, Cole, Anderson
SDK
Dach, Laine, Texier
Evans, Danault, Newhook
We have Bolduc, Veleno, Galagher, Blais, Beck, Hage, Monty..and we need special one for next season.
Hutson, Matheson, Nemec, Dobson, Guhle, Carrier/Xhekaj.
D is the weakest link. Watch the D whenever Habs lose possession and opposition enters the D-zone. 50% chance to be scored against. They just keep backing up, giving up space and dare not challenge the attackers.
You said bring in Trocheck because he will get 25-30 goals. Kap has got 16 and needs only 9 more to get 25. We dont need Trocheck, we need a bigger, tougher player.
