Zowpeb Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Higgins Gomez/Drury Ryder Kostitsyn Plekanec Latendresse Johnson Bonk Begin Lambert Lapierre Kostitsyn Ferland Grabovsky Markov Souray Emelin Streit Bouillion Dandenault Gorges Huet Halak Sure you will all love me for this, but living with the Sens fan is driving me nuts. 1) I think Drury would be nice but have no love for Gomez. After that, I'm more then a little skeptical. 2) I don't think Kosty and Lats should be on the same line...it's way too inexperienced. 3) I hope we let Bonk walk...he's getting old, was playing for a contract last year and he has virtually nothing to offer on offense. I don't personally like having a C that has no offense...regardless of their line. 4) Begin does not belong on the 3rd line...he's an energy guy who can step up at times but that's all. 5) No way that the other Kosty will be in the NHL next year...that's craziness. He's AHL bound for at least 1 full season. 6) That D would get killed all year...it's a downgrade over this year...where'd Komisarek go???

JoeLassister Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) mine is realistic, yours aint Your is not much realistic. Where's Koivu ?? And if him and Kovy are gone... where's the money we saved? you traded them both for draft pics? No stanley cup before 2020 then... Oh and no Komisarek... this has to be the crapest lineup i've ever seen since Oleg Petrov was playing on the 2nd unit. Ryder - Drury/Gomez - D'Agostini Kovalev - Koivu - Lats Kost - Plex - Higgins Bégin - Lapierre - Johnson Markov - Komi Souray - Defensive UFA better than Dandenault or Gorges Streit - Bouillon Huet-Halak Edited May 14, 2007 by JoeLassister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le démon brun Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Latendresse – Brière – Kovalev Shanahan – Koivu – Ryder Kostitsyn – Plekanec – Higgins Bégin – Lapierre – Ferland Grabovski Markov – Emelin Souray – Timonen Komisarek – Streit Bouillon Huet Halak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zowpeb Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) Latendresse - Briere - Kovalev Higgins - Koivu - Ryder A. Kostsitsyn - Plekenec - Scott Walker Perezhogin - Lapierre - Begin Markov - Komisarek Salo - Souray Streit - Boullion Huet Halak This teams needs a top line C, like Briere, and a top D like Salo. That top line has serious potential to be good, the 2nd line was our top line last year and our D would be very improved with Dandenault replaced by Salo. Walker more then replaces Johnson, he adds grit and a strong 2 way game. He even has the ability to move up a line if need be. That 3rd line could put up some solid 5 on 5 points AND shut down other teams top lines. That means acquiring only 3 players...can we do it under the cap? Would be tight I'd think...maybe tighter then Gainey would want. The Habs have lots of quality to youth for depth...they only need a 2-3 quality signings to round out the team. Kovalev could still be a concern BUT a mid-season trade packaging him and a prospect, or two, would be pretty feasible if needed...

Bonk is as good as gone - too expensive. who the heck is the captian?????? mine is realistic, yours aint Yeah, there is no way that the other guys lineup is in montreal. Bur really, Gomez or Drury is realistic??? NO bloody way either of them would want to sign with Montreal. leaving Koivu out of the mix is just plain dumb!

Psycing Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Smyth - Koivu - Selanne Higgins - Plekanec - Kostitsyn Latendresse - Smolinski - Johnson Begin - Lapierre - Ferland Markov - Komisarek Timonen - O'Byrne Gorges - Dandenault 1a Huet 1b Halak (The chances of ditching both Samsonov AND Kovalev make my line-up rather impossible. Just saying, Smyth would be awesome, but I could see Selanne coming over to join Koivu or even Kariya coming to Montreal at a reduced cost. Spending big money on these UFA's means that youngsters like Ferland, O'Byrne, and Gorges get more ice time) Realistic line-up: Higgins - Koivu - Ryder UFA - Plekanec - Kostitsyn Latendresse - UFA - Johnson Begin - Lapierre - [Youngster] Markov - Komisarek UFA - [Youngster] Bouillon - Dandenault Huet Halak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even took a little under market value, though not a big discount. Rumor has Matthias Ohlund being on the block. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Grabovski-Drury-Kovalev Latendresse-Koivu-Ryder Higgins-Plekanec-Kostitsyn Begin-Lapierre-Johnson Markov-Komisarek Hannan-Souray Streit-Emelin Huet Halak Players coming: Hannan on D, Drury for forwards, Grabovski from the minors. Players leaving: Aebischer, Niinimaa and Bonk to UFA, Samsonov to trade/buy out, Dandenault and/or Bouillon to trade (or to be used as a #7 d-man) Assuming: Grabovski is comfortable at LW. If not, use Streit as 1st line LW. Also Assuming: Hannan is a left D and that Emelin is a right. In Emelin's case, it's not so serious since Streit can play anywhere. I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say - Markov for 4.5M Souray for 5M Drury for 5.25M Hannan for 3.75M I hope I didn't shortchange Hannan there. All four of those are being pretty optimistic though. We may be more likely to see a big trade at the draft then 2 big UFA signings though.

koivu-11 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Kovalev - Koivu - Kostitsyn Higgins - Gomez - Ryder Latendresse - Plekanec - Johnson Lapierre - Begin - D'agostini/locke someone young Markov - Komisarek Souray/Stuart - Dandenault Streit - Pressing( i unno how to spell his name ) Huet Halak Not for anything i think this is the most realistic line i see this team getting Gomez could have a chance in montreal just cuz he leaving NJ doesnt mean he going to the west. Kovalev gets his last season to proove himself, Kostitsyn gets that spot he deserved for awhile now, 3rd line is a great defensive line, and will help Lats get a lil More D in his game, But im sure lats will do more if he gets the proper PP time. Lapierre, Begin both instagators but won fight, we still have downey in the system so im not worried and Stini would add that scoring touch and that speed and locke from what i here is playing pretty well in the playoffs with the dogs so might as well no? Souray if he leaves i see bob going for Hamrlik or Stuart both great offensive Defensmen MAYBE could be a lil more affordable. pressing or wtv his name is i wouldnt see as a bad guy to have unless Rivet wants to come back.

Davehab Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I really don't see Kovalev going anywhere, just becuse nobody wants him, so this is what I see happening.... Kovalev-Koivu-Ryder Higgins-UFA(Briere)-kostysin Latendress-Plekanec-UFA(Walker, Hartnell) youngster(Locke)-Lapierre-Begin Markov-Komi UFA(Rafalski)-UFA(Hannan would be nice) Striet-Emelin/Volentenko the cube and Dandenault are both expendable, Souray is not worth it. Rafalski would rock as well as Hannan although I don't think that Briere is the best fit for this team, as he is small and we need big, he is the most likely UFA to sign here. what I would really like to see is Marleau or Lecavalier but thats too big a wish list two months before christmas. (Koivu+Huet+1st round = Lecavalier, at least) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chips Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) Sure you will all love me for this, but living with the Sens fan is driving me nuts. So sorry to hear your suffering more than usual during this off season, for the habs. I can only offer my deepest sympathies. And wish you better times next year. GO HABS GO! I'd like to reserve my judgement on line combinations until we are closer to seeing a full team next year. I think BG has no choice but to revamp and dish out. lets see what surprises he has in store for us. GO HABS GO!

ShortHanded Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 1) I think Drury would be nice but have no love for Gomez. 4) Begin does not belong on the 3rd line...he's an energy guy who can step up at times but that's all. yup and yup Markov – Emelin Souray – Timonen Komisarek – Streit Bouillon I think I'd like this D would be AWESOME in my humble, but even better, don't go after Souray and get someone who scores points in his place (not necessarily on the PP) and is either much younger or much older (thereby costing less) to replace him. They don't have to score as many as he does, just be better defensively and fairly solid offensively, and it'll even out his loss. Someone who can make the outlet pass would allow our forwards to score the points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
