Galchenyuk has found a familiar place on the 4th line today in practice.
Who's to blame? I think it's fairly evident that it's entirely his fault, he has looked terrible to start the season. Usually he gets by with his skills and lacks any form of hockey I.Q, but even his skills are quite lackluster so far. He can't create anything out there, can't play defense, and can't even make a pass on the tape. His lack of effort and production is directly related to a decent percentage of the Hab's scoring woes. The guy is "supposed" to be one of the offensive catalysts on this team but is letting his teammates and us fans down. I have no problem with him playing on the 4th line because that's exactly where he deserves to be at this point.
So wouldn't you then say its the scouts fault ? We should of picked someone else or traded the pick for a NHL ready top center.
-
This organization has miss handled galchenyuk, so I was wondering who gets the blame? Is it the fact that we over valued him at 3 and should of traded the pick for a center? If the guy can't play center why did we draft him to play center?Or does the blame fall on the development department in this organization?
-
Man I thought I would use reverse psychology and be hard on this team thinking they would in then play good........ But man oh man are we in trouble. This 90's style D can't hold up against the speed of today's game. Who's the top pick in this years draft?????
-
? I am going to try reverse psychology this year.... Think nothing but bad thoughts so go happens.

Hey we won guess what the max goals that we scored was.... 3 guess I am a gypsy

Habs only had two 20+ goal scorers last year, I hope that # will increase this year... exactly how many I cant see; but, hoping you could tell me what you see on the positive side of things.

Has nothing to do about losing to the leafs. In today's NHL its all about speed. From what I see from our Dcore just scares me, they look slow and I just feel guys are just going to blow right by them. Also like I said in the post I hope I am wrong with what I am saying but I just see this team giving up a lot of breakaways.
-
Our D core looks slow and I got a feeling that they are going to give up a lot of breakaways. If price isn't at his best every night its going to get ugly. If this team gets behind by 4 goals I just don't see them coming back into games. I don't see this team scoring more then 3 goals in a game, and I don't see any blowout wins by the habs this year.
Man I hope I am wrong, but wow I just have this feeling that its going to go bad.
-
Man I have a bad feeling we are going to give up a lot of breakaways this year with our slow dcore.

This off-season has felt like forever. Has August always been so dull? Maybe I just really missed the World Cup.
For a sports fan August is the worst month of the year. Which is why sometimes you will see t-s-n show sports movies around that time. All you have is baseball going on.

With the amount of cap space that we have, one has to think that MB is holding cards up his sleeve for a big move. The bad thing is that it will probably have to wait until this year's deadline or next summer.
Patience will be key here.
Also, we didn't really offer Radu the same contract. We can't compete with Dallas as they have 0% personal income tax. On this same note, Junior Trudeau (f*tard) may have made this situation worse with the coming changes to small business tax rules.
In order to pull off a trade for a top line star you need to give up a top prospect, and top young roster player and picks. As I see it we only have picks to give up and a roster player (Gallagher and/or galchenyuk). We don't have any prospects that teams would line up to try and get. I don't see MD as a up grade over galchenyuk to be honest. The difference is MD has more games played.
-
The thing about this team is we have no depth when it comes to star players or younger guys. If we lose Price, Weber, drouin, pacioretty or Gallagher for a long period of time we are done for. Or if anyone of these guys go cold for a long stretch of time we are done for. The difference between cup teams and us is the depth in which roll players and younger players step up when star players go down or go cold. We have never had that here and that's why every year we have those stretches were we lose and can't score or do anything right. It always comes when our star players go cold or when we lose a star player. Our roll guys and/or our younger guys aren't good enough to play bigger rolls.
-
That's why we have kept this cap space ??
-
I would call up the leafs and try and get brown from them. I think he could be a good pick up for us. He could be the odd man out there with all the talent they have. He played on there 3 Rd line and had a good rookie year. Those numbers should go up if put on the top line.

I NEED HABS NEWS, I will take anything. Can't stand this quietness

You do realize that if both Gallagher and Galchenyuk go the other way, that's over 8 million in cap space. What do you think is coming the other way that would take up a good chunk of the $16 million we would have at that point.
They don't have to be part of the same trade. Or if they are we could get back a center and a puck moving d back for the both of them.
-
I still think there's a trade coming and going the other way is going to be Galchenyuk and Gallagher.
to much cap space on this team, unless they give a offer sheet to a RFA.
cant see this being the team they start the season with.

Markov going home to play. I wonder if that's so he can play for his country in the Olympics.

Marleau just signed a three year deal with Toronto.
His price point is high but I wonder if that was on purpose. There's reports Markov hasn't met with any team and he's still working out. I don't see him retiring. Russia maybe but he's a Canadian citizen now.
I get the feeling he's waiting for September. Word is that's what Jagr is doing too. Lots of teams with lots of cap space. Announcing no return to Montreal is a break up with the Habs and a clear indication he's on the market. If he signs, it's going to probably be less than what he wanted from Montreal, and it'll smell like there's more to the story.
Then again that's me with a tinfoil hat.
That contracts going to hurt the leafs in 2 years once they got to resign all there young rookies. He doesn't play for them on that 3rd year if you ask me.

Do you guys believe that Markov is quietly retiring or is signing elsewhere ?
If you look at today's NHL it's a young guys game. Vet players that are past 35 don't get no love from teams. I think Markov goes back home and plays in the K where he will get the money he wants.
-
Well this team has no up and coming players ready to play full time and make a impact . If we get any injurys next season we are done.
i think this team thanks to MB has no direction, no identity and no future.
how does a GM blow up a teams core players and replace them with no one ??

It doesn't pay to be a fan favorite under MB, unless your name is price.

He should go join PK and emelin in Nashville

will it be hard for MB to sign top UFA"s if he doesn't show loyalty towards players?
Who's to blame when it comes to Galchenyuk?

So how can we trade Him if his market value is low right now. MB isn't going to get what he wants in a trade right now. His best hope is that he turns it around starts to play good. This way his market value goes up.
