  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.
  15. Going to be fun watching the leaf's trying to get 12.5mil under the salary cap. Man are they in trouble.
  16. You need depth to win a cup, depth on the main roster and depth in the farm system. That's what wins in the playoffs and 7 game series.
  17. I would say as soon as our bad contracts thanks to Bergevin are over , our rebuild will be over. We have 1 year left in Hoffman Dvorak, Savard and Armia have 2 years left Price has 3 years left Gallagher and Anderson have 4 years left So i will say we have 3 years to go , Anderson is tradeable but Gallagher will be a buy out in his final year. then our new young core will be ready to make the next jump to being a playoff team and we will have money to spend in free agency.
  18. When need to hope that Hoffman, Armia and Gallagher all star the year off hot then trade them as soon as we can before they get cold and injuries creep in. Otherwise forget about trading them
  19. Management has never made any trades to try a get a top goal scorer when they become available because we haven't had the depth in our system to make those trades. Also never put up the money in free agency to sign one either. With the type of talent we have in our system now in the next 2-3 years we will be able to make those type of trades to add to this core group. Just look at the golden knights for example, Traded for Echel, Stone Florida traded for tkachuk Those players do come available
  20. Can't believe they're people not liking this pick SMH. Last five team's to win the cup all had big strong two way Dman on the there D. We draft a big need that's hard to come by, a big strong RHD. Goal scorers are easy to draft, trade for, sign in free agency. Man our D is going to be one tough Dcore in the next few years maybe the best we have ever had in the last 30 years. Guhle / Reinbacher Hutson / Xhekaj Harris / Barron That's a solid Dcore
  21. The only people that are not liking this trade are the ones who wanted PLD. Looking at that trade and that contract I'm glad it wasn't us over paying for him.
  22. I honestly think that's who they want too, but these guys think way to fare outside the box its hard to get a read on them.
  23. It will feel more like Christmas if we can trade Hoffman, Armia, and Gallagher 😹
