  1. You know what you can't question? How much more the Jets fans are pissed about watching Chiarot go, than Hab fans are of watching Benn go. We can paint it however which way we want to, but the Jets fans watched him play way more than any of us did combined, if they are upset about losing him, that dissipates most of the apprehension I would have about him joining us. He is no top LD, but he seems like a perfect candidate to play with Petry, Benn had the chance to be, and ended up losing the spot to Kulak. It is the kind of piece that has a veiled bias and vehemence to it about the Habs, lots of media people can't contain bias in their content, positive or negative bias. I can tell just by the salty barb at Alzner being around, and suggesting he is equal to Chiarot. If he was objective and didn't personally care about whether the Habs Fail or Succeed, he would have basically said the team has thus far made lateral moves, and left out the more personal barb towards the team out of it.

  3. Why can't we just bring home Larry back to the fold instead? Seems like where ever he goes his teams make it to the finals.

  4. Nah that is being presumptuous, It's not sentimentality if he is brought in to be in and out of the line up as needed and not a relied upon top 5 option, it is an option that could and should be considered, even if you don't end up going for it. I'm just saying, we have to be open minded to these types of things because they cannot hurt us if we are using it for the right reasons. If he comes in super cheap on a 1 year deal to be an "assistant coach" who still plays, and only gets about 30 to 40 games in a limited specialist role, while influencing certain parts of his game that were very effective onto the others during practices, it's fine by me. If we are looking at him as a stop gap for the top 5 in any capacity,who may need to play almost every game instead of being out there hunting for a legitimate top 4 LD, then that's a problem. I seriously doubt they would consider the latter, but this regime has stunned me before with this type of thinking, I just feel more confident that they have learned from past mistakes and doubt that is a road we travel again.

  5. Why does this putz bother watching all of these games and actually thinking about what he is writing when he could just spew unfounded opinions like the excretable M. Kelly?

  6. Sure, he isn’t making things up, but it’s overboard how much he undervalues the fact that the habs now have a good prospect pool. In the same breath he talks about Timmins being, I think he said an “abysmal” scout. Timmins one struggle was first round draft picks, but I really have to say it feels like he’s turning a page on first rounders.

  7. I like the idea of him spending the season in college - he's going to be part of a pretty strong line at Wisconsin and some time to put on a bit more muscle wouldn't be a bad thing. I wouldn't be shocked if he's a one-and-done player and turns pro after his college season ends though.

  8. I still think it best to go the NCAA route for at least one year, look at Poehling now after waiting couple years, being in weight room twice a day and practising more than playing. Let the kid adjust to playing vs older bigger faster competition first.
