  1. Just having some press box time is a confidence booster for Dumont, he will

    see must of the game plan realise is lack of speed and work even harder on it.

    With some speed he could take Armstrong role next year, for a couple of 100$k less.

    For 4th line duties we pay guys 2.8 million alone on Moen and Armstrong . yes i expect

    them to be good at some things.

    Weak side is that we have no big grinder in the system. This size issue should be fixed in the next

    draft with late picks . Exemple Connor Crisp.

  2. Ryder we know what we have offensively, he seems to have better +/- numbers so

    maybe he is less a liability that he was when not scoring. We'll see, i would replace

    Gionta with Ryder.

    Cole body language was saying get me outta here, that's what he got. Althought

    his physical strenght would have helped habs down the road this year. Habs will

    have to find something better than Armstrong, White and Moen to help Prust in that

    department.

  3. I read Cullen from TSN saying how much value O'reilly has...

    he mentions some players from other team and some habs players that could interest

    Colorado.

    Montreal (Lars Eller, David Desharnais, Brendan Gallagher, Nathan Beaulieu, Jarred Tinordi)
    No for Eller, maybe Desharnais, No gallaguer, no Beaulieu, hell no Tinordi.

    Only player Bergevin should offer would be Desharnais and Kristo. Why ? too small and Hudon is the same size.

    ??

  4. A word for Bourque and the space he creates by driving the net.

    He does a lot for his linemates, he found a role. Nobody gave it to him

    he earned it.

    Desharnais,he is under pressure and these two goals must have done good

    for him,i don't understand why some people want to throw him under the bus

    before wh have the tools to replace him. He will be most probably a necessary

    dump of salary at the end of the year for next year cap but meanwhile why not consider

    him as a great bargain and live with was bringing.

  5. Patience and opportunity, no rush rught now to give up anything even 1 point in the standings.

    Has long as they keep winning, Bergevin can have a better hand.

    Players mentionned above have all trade values at a low level = no reward.

    A team desperate to have PP points can look at Kaberle in 10 games, a team out of conention with a free agent

    to unload can look at Eller much differently before trade deadline.

  6. The only reason why Subban is not paid as he think his worth is not what his

    ice time was or his level of play.

    It's a an attitude problem, you don't invest long term on a hot chick, you ride

    it on a short term base and if, i said if, the chick is not messing around with

    all the other chickens around than it's safe to put her the ring.

    PK has no ring to show. And obviously, his team thinks he is Ocho Cinco. so must the little

    chick fly to other sky ? Hoping to bring a piece of the puzzle that would keep a united

    crew on a team first attitude like Therrien wants ?

  7. Team USA against Canada next game...cool !

    Galchenyuk had some ice time but it just doesn't work like he could just have the feeling he could

    do much more but it's not.

    I know he plays wing at Sarnia too but i think his hockey IQ would be better used at C than wing,

    Anyway i hope Habs will be patient with him, develop him as a center.

  8. It's pretty much on the do or die line this wek.

    Question is if we get back to hockey, how will they compete ??

    Not bad on a 50 games season i'd say, why ? Not because i am 100% sure Habs would

    be in the playoffs but the intensity of a season when every game mean something is thrilling.

    not like in these vintage games on TSN or RDS

    Habs under Bergevin and Therrien, will be much more like a warrior team. Cole, Paccioretty, Prust,

    Moen, Emelin and Gorges are all heart and soul players solid hockey players i would take on my team

    anytime. It looks to good not to be watched.

    With the other players pushing in it could be a thrill to see it all the way to the silver cup...remember 93...

    I like football, i just want hockey. A Habitants Canadian fan.

  9. Geoffrion finally signed for one year 2 way deal.

    This is still good to have him as depth.

    Problem with him is that he gives away the puck to easily.

    At 24 nobody is dreaming for a breakthrought NHL season but could be a steady force in

    the AHL.

  10. I'd like number 23 being dropped from the roof and give it to Gomez as a reminder.

    Number 15 is cursed, any sweater number Richard played with should not be available.

    "20" ehhh.Zednik never been called crapped here, many other things but Kozed was here back then

    and nobody could say anything about KO or ZED.

  11. Dallas now has way too much veteran wingers and no centers.

    They are not done trading, with Jagr and Whitney, less pp time for Erikkson, Morrow,

    Ryder, Benn.

    Talking of Ryder...Kaberle could be moved and we have some scoring piunch and one liability less.

    One year less of contract too.

  12. I think D we're getting to expensive.

    But man we're getting grittier.

    Bouillon at 1.5 million is a insurance policy not ot rush any of our prospects.

    But he is very injury prone as Armstrong but both with some upside.

    Gorges and bouillon will have to play right D, I would be surprise to see the swiss cheese duo back.

    But what a D corp for Hamilton. Nash, Tinordi, Weber, Ellis etc.

  13. As i understand it Bettman want the NHL to take over New-Jersey because of their 77 million debt to refinance.

    So Mister Molson and his group are paying for another team that was good enough on the ice to compete to

    the Stanley cup final but that are not able to bring money in from their market, no sponsors, not enought season

    tickets holder, not enough people to buy merchandising and no corporative help.

    No banks would finance them, no government would put more money into it, why NHL owners would have to

    finance 2 teams that are gonna beat them on the ice regularly.

    Phoenix and Devils should not be helped, Bettman should go and a new era should start.

    If these team should be stay and reach the cap$ filled them of players that money making teams do not want anymore,

    like a dump for the Gomez of the world.

  14. The guy played 27 games in the two last years,

    He had a major concussion last year and a major groin injury the year before.

    At the weight is carrying the speed is not there and groin didn't help

    Cannot expect him to play tough, he rarely did and with the concussion he will be careful.

    Defensively he is not bad but not good enough for a third liner.

    I'd pass, i would take Bernier instead, he prooved he can play tough, has better and than TK and plays more like a bottom six

    what Montreal needs.

  15. I like that 2013 secound rounder more and more.

    Respect to Trotz for his guts to pull out Andrei K and Radulov.

    Whatever the level of talent of a player, women, bottle or any other thing that keep you

    out until 4am before a playoff game is not something you want in your team. Nor as a teammate.

    I wish Andrei K. nothing but the best in the KHL.

  16. I saw Beaulieu play against Chicoutimi and couldn't help thinking he was only a good player in a very good team.

    His +/- and come from the domination the team have but they never really been presssure yet and to say

    he is not being challenged enought. I though he looked lazy out there, relying on others.

    This is probably what pulled him back from other teams down to 17.

    He will need to learn to work under pressure at least 2 years in the AHL.

  17. Just a thought here but Tampa has 10 and 23.

    For me there too much doubt around the russians and Forsberg could go as soon as

    number 2 so if this happen.

    Still a very good D to draft first, Reinhart or Ceci.

    The other guy there would beTom Wilson, huge in playoffs this year, point a game and huge in size, 6.4f 204p. The way playoffs are played, Habs need a guy like this, a warrior, not afraid to scrap and score.

    Still with pick 33

    Stefan Matteau, son of his dad. huge too. Decent numbers.

    Tanner Pearson loved the way he start the year and at the world junior, deceiving end of season but still a warrior.

    .

    This would fill more holes in the prospects line-up than a highlight hero with a concussion.

    Cody Ceci and Wilson would be something fine. Add Matteau and some Timmins bargains.

    No superstar i know but there too much doubt around the russians and Forsberg could go as soon as

    number 2.
