    We'll know in a couple of years. But Slaf's general lack of assertiveness is starting to bother me.  

    This is my concern. The ceiling is still a Rick Nash style big strong .8 ppg forward. The floor is possibly the worst 1st overall since yakapov. Middle ground nuge style complimentary 1st overall.

    At what point do we start blaming Dach for being Dach. 
     

    it’s not like he put up astronomical offensive numbers in junior, either. 

    Hughes’ first 2 trades are looking like busts…. Newhook I’ll give a bit more leash 

     

    I wouldn't call the Dach trade a bust even if he doesn't become a 2nd line centre. Romanov was a stay at home left defenseman. Guhle and Hutson have the top 4 locked on the left side. Romanov is probably a number 4 or 5 defenseman. Dach makes 3.4 million a year.  Not exactly an albatross contract. If he tops out as a third liner, it's still a hockey trade. Not a bust.

    I hope they are shopping Armia, Dvorak and either Newhook or Armia. two out of the four should me moved in a package that helps the Habs get a better 2nt line center

     

    From the way they played in the game, Newhook was flying out there and Armia had another good game

    Is Newhook overpaid? If not, I would just as soon hang onto him. If the price is right, that speed is a good tool.

  4. Poor effort without the puck yielded expected results. I suspect St. Louis is changing his style as the team matures. They have shown they can play the system. Now, accountability will start creeping in. In the big picture, as long as they don't completely lose their identity, the team is generally where I had hoped they would be. Moving from top 5 pick to placing somewhere in the 16 to 24 range. Time to shift my mindset from wildcard race back to individual development. Slafkovsky development is probably my biggest concern. Go Slaf.
