Letting KK walk was never a concern for me. Danault and Lehkonen both bothered me. Still do. They were young enough to be part of the future. I'd much rather have Danault and Lehkonen than Barron and Dvorak.
I agree. I feel like if he can stay healthy, Dach may end being the 1A centre. Not Suzuki. I like Suzuki a lot. His vision, IQ are very good. I just see shades of Getzlaf in Dach and it makes me excited.
I think Matheson is better than petry was in Montreal. He is a 1st pair player now imo. Absolute steal of a trade. Habs have a full cupboard defensively. I wouldn't be against trading him.
The LA team we saw last month was the strongest team, defensively, I've seen the Habs face in a while. I expect the boys t be fired up against them. But will it matter?
My view is that this was a full scale organizational rebuild which started in the 21, 22 season. I'm willing to give it another season after this year.
