Dont think the Habs will be active… Too many buyers, not enough sellers , Buyers are going to overpay a LOT to get certain players, just not Hughes style i think , unless it's a Hockey trade, not a rental
They have to address their goaltending as well. Monty is washed up. Fowler is not yet ready.
Put Sammy B back in the line up. Wen Sammy was taken out the line up we have had 3 loses. Thanks Kevin
I'M doing Dach vs Wright, right F now
Think a solid shutdown RD is our biggest need. Lane needs to play on his strong side. We need to stop hindering our best player and get better behind our blue line.
the first and second lines are playing well. Third and fourth lines are a work in progress. They have too many forwards, especially when Laine and Newhook return. And they have no cap space.
I don't see a trade for a rental player coming, it's going to be a hockey move. But because they have no cap space it's going to involve roster players going out. So we're probably looking at a 2 for 1 deal or something like that. Or paying someone to take Laine. or something like that.
With Laine heading out, possibly gally being bought out, Anderson may not be here either, this team is in need of some veteran players. With those guys Montreal is one of the youngest teams only to get younger with fowler, Hage, reinbacher, that other Russian dude, etc. We need to get some late twenty year olds that are a point per game forward or true defenseman like what Savard was. And our 3rd and 4th lines need to add some size and grit. And look Hughes needs to look into seeing if he can put together a package for players like Rattanan or Draisitle or Marner or similar.
Guhle , Dach and Evans back have hurt the team They not in mid season game shape 😮
Daily comment letting Marco know his camera is too grainy/saturated. Stop messing with the filter!! It's distracting as a guy that's worked in video :p
Guhle for Parayko reinbaccer for thomas and dach with 1st pic and egstrom for kyrou maybe goalie trade also
Why would we rush the rebuild to trade for some old bum thats not gonna push us past the 1st rd let alone anywhere further . We need a way better defensive structured playing system before we make any trades unless the trades are for the purpose of future assets. Reality is we could make 4 or 5 trades and we still not going anywhere until our coaches system changes from pond hockey to real hockey
The Habs will not win the Cup with Montebault, Dobes, and Fowler tending the net. Trade for Hellebuyck.
Putting Sammy back in helps, getting a player like Olivier would be great. And Habs desperately need a solid goalie….
Trade Laine, Reinbacher, Monty or Dobes.
Michael Hage
David Reinbacher.
Patrick Laine (salary dump)
1round 26 draft
Ottawa
Brady Tkachuk
They desperately need a goalie that should be there focus right now
What about Sean Wright…
How about a whole episode about teams that overshot their own rebuild. There are many.
So maybe; depending upon the requested return – Voronkov; even Lindstrom; Dvorsky … along those lines…
2c isn’t a position of need anymore. You have Kapanen who can either be a stop gap or grow into the role and Hage right behind him.
We need a top 6 forward with grit and a 2nd pairing right D with grit.
Your hair is looking good, Shaun.
How about Zach Whitecloud ? Low AAV & term left…
Not too old, guys.
I think habs should target Pospisil from Calgary he is such a pest,top 10 fastest skater in the nhl can chase pucks can hit can play up in the lineup if needed sleeper target,as for 2C overpay for Thomas Zharovsky,Reibacher,Dach,26 1st and swap 2nd rounder for their 3rd rounder
Carrier for Crosby.
I'm still of the mind that it's still year 4 of a 5 year rebuild….things still have to shake out. If we bring players in, we have to get rid of players. We are not Stanley Cup ready yet so if a special player for a reasonable price is available, sure, pull the trigger but change for change sake is not smart. HUGO are smart
No Wright. Get serious, Shaun.
Byfield !
Hughes isnt going to do anything
I'm sorry but if Gorton is SO selfish that he won't trade with the Rangers because of something that occurred to him at a personal level then how can he promote 'team first'. Crap has happened to many management level & coaches in this business, you don't shut down your options just because you got your feelings hurt!
How about Sean Monahan ?
Pensez vous qu'un gardien top 5 dans la ligue aiderais pas notre problème de but accordé et un défenseur gros format défensif avec bcp de gritt aiderais
i think the CH does not need top of the line stars players to be more competitive on short term or even medium term basis. and the cost for those star players would be horrendous anyways. the CH does desperately lack size and grit. Hughes can wait for some farm team gritty prospects to mature or he could go on the trade market to find those players for a reasonable price. some gritty players that might fit the bill include Michael McCarron(Predz), Jamie Oleksiak(Seattle) and Adam Klapka(Flames). they won't cost much and the CH would become stronger over night. there are plenty of other good ones too. only time will tell which direction Hughes will take
I have saying for months, Habs needs a big Mofo shutdown defense.
It's been an obvious problem since oct 1st.
could use a goalie and a right hand defensive defence men
Hugues will have to give a big name to get help, there is no way out of it.
Of all the players you mention vornkov makes most sense to me. Habs need more size and goal scorers up front. Hes only 25. Can help pp2 a lot as net front option like slaf. Can play middle 6 for sure, likely a good fit with demi and kap and move slaf up to top line
Parayko is the guy the Habs need to pair with Hutson
Guhle-Dobson
Hutson-Parayko
Matheson-Carrier/Xhekaj
As a half fan to round out or top six, I still think something can be done with Huberdeau. Coach Sutter said Huberdeau is one of the best passers in the league, he would play really well with the guys we have. Take on that contract of Calgary wants to throw in an extra player as a sweetener. Connor‘s Zary would be interesting.
