IN THE HEARTS OF MEN

We have 9 picks in 2019 thus far... Also, torontos rebuild took a helluva a lot longer then people think considering they didn’t qualify for the playoffs for like 14 of 17 seasons leading into this coming season and have had 6 x top 10 picks in the last 10 years alone! They key here though is they hit on 5 of those 6 top 10 picks mAtthews #1 marner #4 nylander #8 reilly #5 kadri #8

Me neither of it’s in a 4th line role.

Tell that to “the general” AM79

I understand all that... and I have no prob with Evans starting in Laval to start the seAson to work his way into the line up after an off season surgery. I also believe/think if he came out of last season unscathed he’d be in the opening day line up this coming season. He to could of possibly been given the same type of assurances as plex to have him sign on with us! Ramage spent a lot of time this season watching and staying close Evans! I cant see why countless NCAA players have transitioned to the NHL after there college careers are completed... most recently Willy butcher and Evans can’t considering he was one of the best C’s in college. But to each his own I guess. My beef will be if plex plays ahead of DelaRose... I think at this point Danault and delarose should definitively be ahead of plex! Ideally we should be signing a C and moving Drouin back to wing....

I know that... your missing the point though... Julien just said he’d be giving the kids a larger role this coming season and now they turn around and sign plex which is 2 steps backwards I believe. I don’t want plex taking any minutes away from DeLaRose. DelaRose is younger bigger faster and prime to take the next step in his career after playing a role with Sweden in WC. I get it we need depth at C but we need top end talent not bottom 6 talent. The only benefit to this deal is pleckys chance to hit 1000 games and points milestones. jake Evans will be back skating by early to mid August from sport hernia... he is closer to being ready then we all think. He’s not 18... he’s 22.

Danault drouin DeLaRose Evans Plekanec

Pretty sure Froese, Rychel have no chance at making the opening night roster...

Maybe our only hope now is J.T. goes to SJ and we can land jumbo joe on a 1 year overpayment as a stop gap... thortnon danault evans DeLa Rose and Drouin moves back to wing

Everyone deserves at least a 2nd chance at life is all I’d say. His wife has given him one, why can’t a hockey team and their fans... im sure the moment he sets up a game winning goal or fires a one timer from the point all will be forgiven.... either way i dont think he’s the answer cause A) we need a LD B) it goes against the very principles MB and co. are trying to instill at the core

With the disappointment of Tavares not even entertaining an offer I can only hope he goes to SJ and that opens up a short term stop gap with jumbo joe. Pacioretty UFA Lehkonan Domi Danault Gallagher Drouin Evans Byron Hudon DeLaRose Scherbak Delauriers Shaw MacCarron Carr UFA Weber Mete Petry Reilly Juulsen Alzner Moravcik Schlemko Benn Sklenicka Price Niemi UFA C= Thornton* * 1 year at 10 million? UFA D= Markov* 1 year 6 million?haha Also... If. We aren’t picking up a legit top 4 Dman (only option might be DeHaan or to a lesser extent Green) I think we should just stay pat there... obviously trades are on the table. Bold =trade block underline= injured to start This is one of the youngest teams in hockey....

Wasn’t he signed to a 2 year 6 million deal? Not 3 years... hardly overpaid when considering he was making 5 million coming off back to back 50+ point seasons and our best C. hindsight as always for our fickle fans.... UFA’s don’t want to come here because of us fans! not because of management or taxes!

I don’t want plex back.... time to move forward...

Pacioretty now represented by Allan Walsh and octagon...

ill take Hertl or Vlasic...

I think the opposite... the top 2 available C in the draft both went in the top 5.... and that’s usually the case as C and D are the most valuable assets to attain... kokaniemi was arguably the best C in the entire U18 and led his team to gold... is it so far fetched that his stock dropped because of his knee injury? i for one think the habs HAD to draft a C as pretty much all no. 1 centres in this league are top 10/15 draft picks... I believe we’d be very hard pressed to find 5 that are not!

Not gonna pretend I know much about our picks from Romanov down... but I’m of the belief that our fans would be complaining either way! we draft koky and we complain it’s not Hughes, draft Hughes we complain it wasn’t zadina, draft zadina we complain it wasn’t tkachuck and so on and so forth... He was never gonna get it right... Heres hoping Romanov turns into Andrei Markov 2.0...

What are you talking about? Eller played the majority of his habs career at C... only a bit part on the wing...

kale clague and a pick?

Straight up I make that in a heart beat... we are are one step closer to... tavares O’reilly Danault delarose with Evans knocking on the door

Habs in talks with buffalo for O’Reilly... as per LeBrun i hope #3 isn’t part of that deal....

Wahlstrom is real good...

Voice texting while driving on message board is probably inappropriate haha

He has but I do believe the right side is set with Weber peach tre I do believe the right side is set with Weber petry juulsen

more so i want mete to play with petry in the 4 hole... alzner schlemko and benn have no place with weber in the 2 spot... thus for now its open for a guy like Moracvik(23) or slenicka(21) to try out... ive seen or current options and Moracik is our best option and i have yet to see him play a single hockey game which is more a slight on our current def depth then optimism of his talent. Calvin DeHaan is my UFA fix but only if we find a new home for Alzner and schlemko

Really everything hinges on our 3rd pick.... draft a winger and patches gets moved.... currently this is my lineup... lehkonan drouin domi. byron Danault gallagher pacioretty evans* sherback DeLauriers DelaRose Hudon A. Shaw Carr Maccarron L.shaw Moravcik* Weber Mete Petry Reilly Juulsen ALzner SChlemko Benn Sclenicka Price Neimi Lindgren Bold= my picks to make this team out of training camp or sooner rather then later italic = injured this is my current habs depth and i would look to moves reflecting our 3rd pick. -sign tavares -if we draft a winger move patches for another pick or prospect defender -if we draft a C or D then patches stays -trade Schlemko / shaw/ Alzner
