I wouldn't hold my breath on getting Hutson at a bargain....he will very likely be our first 'WOAH' contract of the higher cap era we are about to enter.
I would agree, don't think we will get a Suzuki or Caulfield type deal. The cap is going up and obviously the players and agents are well aware. That's the only reason Chychrun got Makar type money.

Detroit has a brutal schedule, Habs have a great chance.

The Blues are due for a loss. Habs win tonight 5-3.

– Florian Xhekaj is now tied for eighth in rookie goals with 18 on the season. He’s also the league leader in penalty minutes, not just among rookies but everyone.
Awesome!! A chip off the old block. Arber must be proud! LOL Seriously he seems to be developing really well and potentially a very good 4th liner in the NHL.

Gallagher is likely to score 20 goals this year, while playing 3rd line defensive minutes and under a rising cap.
He may have been overpaid in recent years. Is he overpaid today? I'm not so sure.It's still an overpay but it's not a ridiculous overpay. It's one you can live with given the effort and leadership he provides on a nightly basis.

Had to miss the game but a huge point. Onward!

A 3rd road win in a row for the Flames. A bottom 10 finish is pretty much out of the question now. Shaping up to be quite a battle for the last wild card spot in the west, St. Louis has the easiest schedule but the Flames are surprising people, they are a hungry team.

The rematch against Cleveland went much better today, a 6-0 victory.

That's a beauty goal, there is no question about Engstrom's skating ability.

Islanders lose to Calgary in overtime. I wish that were us last game but it’s still good news.
it is good news, that Calgary team is battling hard for a playoff spot, kudos to them.

Just about 💯 percent sure you already have this knowledge but the Rags won 5-3 against Vancouver all the while being outshot 39-12.
5 goals 12 shots
Yes, the Rangers have a very good goalie.
-
The Rangers have lost 3 in a row, playing at home in a must win game and they get 1 shot in the 1st period. ONE!!
Something is very wrong there. Go Canucks!

He is noted as doing very well on the PK and chipping in on offensive end also very encouraging.
And I think that's the key for for him. If he can play well defensively, kill penalties, play physical and SMART, and chip in offensively then he could have a role on the Habs in a couple years. He can definitely be an upgrade on Pezzetta and that's why I capitalized smart, Pezzetta takes some stupid penalties, Florian needs to play physical without taking unnecessary penalties.

It’s very early in his career but I’m starting to wonder if Xhekaj is a round 4 drafted gem.
He has certainly shown progression which is positive. I guess the question is, how much more progression is there to come?

Hahah... oh cool ! Love those old Danny Gallivan expressions. Maybe David will do a Savardian Spin-o-rama tomorrow night, lol.
Gallivan was the best, there is no debate about that. None.

I agree there Danny... and also for Newhook to be stepping gingerly and skedaddling over the blue line.
And hopefully at the same time he can negotiate contact with the puck.
That's actually my name by the way, good guess. LOL

This is a game of gargantuan proportions. GO HABS GO!!
Yes it is. I look for some cannonading drives from Caulfield and some scintillating saves from Monty.

if flames pick is in top 10, then what?
If the Flames pick is top 10 then they get to keep it and we get Florida's pick which would likely be mid 20's at best.

Post lottery.
Its the ultimate draft position.
Yes, it could move from 16 to 6 in which case they would keep the pick but the odds of moving from say 16 to 6 is less than 2% I believe, not sure of the exact odds of that happening.
-
Without a couple road wins it's looking very doubtful the Flames will slide to the bottom 10 which is excellent. Just need them to slide a bit and miss the playoffs. Looking like the pick will be in the 14-18 range. If they make the playoffs and go out in the 1st couple rounds, likely 17 or 18, if they just miss likely 14-16. Much better than I thought at the start of the year as I thought they would be bottom 10 and we would get Florida's pick.

I wonder if throwing a little under the table cash at the GM of SKA Saint Petersburg would get Demidov released the minute his team is eliminated?
Throwing money under the table in Russia? What a novel idea. Has that ever worked? LOL Anyway I am sure Hughes will do everything possible (without breaking any laws) to get Demidov over here as quick as possible.

I just wanna send a shout-out to PM Koivu, who has been reliably rounding out my half-arsed GDTs with solid information 👍
Every game from here on out is a huge game. Just like in the playoffs, it's going to be a roller-coaster, with every loss seeming apocalyptic and every win seeming to open up a clear blue sky of infinite possibilities. Sang froid, mes amis!
Yes, every game is huge but this one is huger (is that a word?) than the rest since the Isles are only 3 points behind, could be 5 with a regulation win or 1 with a regulation loss. A legitimate 4 point game.

This is a huge game. The Islanders have been playing well lately, it won't be easy.
Game #70 Habs at Blues 8:00pm Tuesday March 25

Nothing went right tonight, easier to bounce back from a game like this than a heartbreaker. It looks like Monty needs a little break, goalies get mentally tired.
Onward and go Kings!!
