  1. How does that work exactly because I haven't seen any particulars on that rule that specifies what happens when a pick is traded. Technically, it is the Jets pick but the Habs are in control of it. If the Jets pick wins the lottery wouldn't that mean it takes up 1 of the Jets 2 possible wins in 5 years?
  2. I agree, and I generally don't want to cheer for the Habs to lose but this would have been a good game to drop. However, I'm glad their losing streak ended at 4. Damn, it's too bad Premeau didn't get his 3rd shutout this year. I somewhat blame Arber for the Krakens lone goal. No clue why Arber got his stick out in front of the shot. I would have preferred to see Arber skate right at the guy and shove him right onto his ass instead. Great to see Slaf still going on his rampage. Who doesn't want to see that continue?
  3. I'd say that Hughes hasn't drafted BPA yet - thank god. Wright was supposed to go #1. Hughes isn't likely to start drafting BPA unless the Habs win the 1st overall pick. Yes, its best if you can get both but size with the absence of high skill isn't entirely useless. After all, its unarguable that it is a physical sport with body contact. In 7 game series size and strength matters and that becomes more true the deeper a team gets. I agree with your monster comment and Suzy is definitely very strong for his height - that's what is important. For decades the Habs have been chronically under weight for their height. Having a high center of gravity is the issue with tall people that aren't strong. i.e. a much shorter guy can push them around easily. I also believe Suzy's strength is why he has an ironman streak going.
  4. Oh come on, it's not hard: "stiff weenie for Celebrini"
  5. I'm sorta bummed they picked up a point but they out played the Oils so they were fortunate that they didn't get 2 points. The Oils G really kept them in the game. Luckily, CBJ also picked up a point. Surprisingly, CBJ have closed the gap so hopefully they too will manage to over take the Habs by the time the season is over. On McDavid's goal once Guhle bent down and attempted to block the shot he had no chance stopping him. Guhle did make a mistake on that play but I'd still say he played 1 of the best games I've seen him play. Armia can certainly be frustrating at times and I understand why many want to get rid of him but I still wouldn't necessarily dump him. He has decent size and tends to come alive in the playoffs. I'm thinking that might actually a be a factor next season.
  6. I'm somewhat thinking Hutson and Mailloux could be a good pairing and Reinbacher with WiFi or Guhle. I agree, he is somewhat weak for his size. Harris needs to add way more muscle and that's an issue with Matheson too. They should all stay at Arber's over the summer so his mom can teach them how to workout.
  7. I agree with what you said but even though I disagree with him I do believe there is potentially some truth in his statement. After all, the Nords never won the Cup and that is primarily because the Habs always beat them in the playoffs. I tend to think that if the Nords had won a Cup they probably wouldn't have lost their team. In that sense I could see why Nords fan blame the Habs.
  8. I don't like cheering or the Habs to lose and especially against the Booins but the last game and this 1 would have been good games to not get any points. I want to see close games without them picking up points. Realistically, there are only so many games left and the Sens and Yotes probably only have 6 wins left in them. Therefore, the Habs cannot win more more than 4 games for those 2 teams to pass them in the standings. Luckily those teams both won last night but they only gained 1 point on the Habs.
  9. It's unfortunate that CBJ didn't take 1 more shot because the record for shots in a Habs home game shutout is 42. It's a 3 way tie for that record: Plante, Theodore, and Price. Primeau would be in good company if they had taken but 1 more shot. If they had taken 2 more shots that record would be his. I didn't see the entire game but I easily saw him make 4-5 goal robbing saves so it was a well earned SO.
  10. I didn't see the entire game and in fact I didn't catch any of the goals. I'll have to watch recap for sure. However, I did see that Primeau was tested pretty good and especially late in the 3rd where he made several huge saves in the last 5 mins to main the shutout. It's ironic that's the Habs 2nd shutout this year, and he has both of them. I believe in his 1st SO he had under 20 shots but I heard the announcer say he had 40 in this game.
  11. I'm hearing that Dach might play in some of the last games of this season. He's recovering well and giving him a few games wont risk him over compensating and causing another injury. I want Florida to tank next year too and with some injury luck it might be possible. Last year NJ was really strong and they were sellers at this years trade deadline. Arber had a fairly poor game defensively but he did have 7 shots. Surprisingly, Pezz had 8 hits and only played 6:45 mins. Domi seemed to go after Slaf numerous times, well when no other Habs were around. There was 1 scrum around the Habs net where Domi was at his best behavior and just stood there like a saint, but WiFi was standing right there.
  12. I tend to agree, although I did think he was a decent backup, but that is all he was. He is unable to consistently play day to day for whatever reason. I always viewed Allen's contract as 1 of Hughes' 1st mistakes and this trade tends to back my opinion up. Like stated this trade is the 1st retention spot regarding a player Hughes signed. The fact he was traded and used a retention spot tends to suggest that it wasn't a good contract signing. Yes, it is good that the 3 goalie tandem has ended but it would be better if the Habs weren't using 2 retention spots for next year. I would have preferred him taking a bad contract back that ended this summer because the Habs still have too many bad MB contracts that go into next year. The retention from this trade will make it harder for Hughes to move MB's bad contracts. With 2 retention spots used up Hughes might only be able to move 1 of them - and I hope it is Dvo. I was confused why you made your original comment. When I saw the stipulation I figured there would be no chance of the pick increasing to a 2nd. It seems like it's basically there to give the false impression there could be more.
  13. I honestly can't see KK being bought out. What I can see if the Cannes dump KK is him admitting that there was collusion before UFA day regarding his offer sheet. I find Toffoli to the Jets to be extremely interesting. I'm wondering if there will be some benefit to the Habs from that? i.e. if Toffs plays with Money and they mesh well together. There is a decent chance that Money returns to the Habs so will his new linemate want to return with him? Neither of them are greedy with their contract asks so the Habs might be able to get 2 60+ pts guy for under $11 mil. They'd be good linemates for Dach.
  14. I agree that Hughes seems to be more of a humanitarian than most other GM's. That was a big part of my previous suggestion that the Habs might move Pezz. If the Habs decided to move on from Pezz they could easily send him to Laval but that could potentially kill his NHL career. In that scenario Hughes would likely send him to a team where he would stick around, like Van.
  15. Yep, the Habs 1st line has been on fire and that's a great sign for future years. I agree with Roy too. In 2-3 years I tend to think that Roy and Beck will be a huge part of their shut down/checking 3rd line that will be almost as good as their 2nd line. Any difference in production will be primarily due to TOI rather than a vast difference in talent. i.e. Roy and Beck are fairly offensive too but they're better defensively than Dach and whoever else ends up on the 2nd line. At this time it's incredibly hard to project who might be the other player on that 3rd line because of all the prospects they have plus who else they draft. However, I somewhat expect that it could eventually be Florian.
