  1. That didn’t turn out good for Daniel Briere’s son now did it.
  2. So why isn't Slaf in front of the net trying to screen the goaltender? The biggest guy on the team and you have him waiting for one timers, Makes no scene.
  3. I think this is the most balanced team we have had in awhile.
  4. Liking the 2nd line we might actually have 2 scoring lines.
  5. So fare I've been happy with what's been going on with this management team. Hughes has been doing a great job with trades and getting picks with what little room of cap space he has been working with. I think we finally have a deep prospect pool and are well balanced in prospects. I also believe that development has been a lot better and in the next few years we might have the best Dcore in the league. In 2 years time i believe the rebuild will be over because we will have a lot of cap space with contracts of Armia, Dvorak, Evans, Savard, Allen, Petry all expiring. Then a year after that Price then Gallagher, so we will be seeing a boat load of cap space to sign our own and bring in some top UFA's. So it should be interesting to see how management work Free agency.
  6. I thought Slafkovski look good and played his best hockey with Monahan at center on his line. Newhook could add a different look to that line. Anyway just my food for thought.
  7. Would like to see what a line of Slafkovsky / Monahan / Newhook could do together. I think they would have nice chemistry together.
  8. Looks more like Management did Petry a solid and traded him to his home town. You got to respect that and I'm sure players respect it.
  9. I thought once he got more comfortable in the NHL his offense was coming around. the petry we're getting isn't the petry of a few years ago in the playoffs. We're getting a run down towards the end of career petry. The only value his going to have is on a playoff team playing 10mins a game as a 5th or 6th Dman and 2nd unit power play guy. Just saying I would rather give those mins to Xhekaj and further develop him.
  10. Sorry but I disagree, Xhekaj was developing his game really good up until he got hurt. He hits and plays physical especially in front of our net. He has a hard shot that he hits the net with. Blocks a lot of shots too. He's going to be a good two way Dman in this league. I see him as a Gill type of Dman. Petry is past his usefulness and is too soft. I would much rather have Khekaj as a 6th or 7th D then Petry. Petry is useful on the power play yes but not on a team that will probably be a lottery team again. If we can get a 2nd or 3rd for him before the season starts take it and run.
  11. I would take Xhekaj full time over Petry all day long. Team plays bigger with him in the lineup. Last year you saw the difference when he was in the lineup we won games and players played better. Without him we lost more games and the team didn't have that same effect. Right now their is a log jam at d especially if Reinbacher makes the team. Guhle Reinbacher Harris Barron Kovacevic Savard Matheson Xhekaj Petry Wideman That's 10 D I agree Wideman will play in Lavel. Question mark will be how well Reinbacher plays in preseason and training camp. But let's say he start's in Lavel too , it still leaves us with 8 D. With the youth movement and rebuild I just don't see how you play Petry over Xhekaj.
  12. They need to clear 5.1mil in cap space before the start of the season. Flipping them both would help. So I really don't see Petry or DeSmith on the opening day roster unless Armia or/and Dvorak gets moved. Or Allan and Petry get moved and we keep Desmith. Then that would put us under the cap.
  13. When's the last time the habs won a trade 3 different times with 1 player🤔 Petry the gift that keeps on giving 😂
  14. Petry and Allan will both be traded before the season starts to get us under the cap. Unless by some miracle we find someone to take on Armia's or Dvorak's contract.
