I don't know why, but even when he was new to the Habs and wasn't doing well, I still liked Monty. Not sure if it's his positioning, or movement or what it was. Its nice to see his stats climbing.
Very good contract for a defensive master. I was concerned about losing him. 2.85 seems very reasonable. He's a bottom 6 guy, so 3.5+ would have been too much of an overpay. Now get Armia on a team friendly extension. Keep these 3 together.
Evans must want a lot. He's a 4th liner who gets a hot stick for a few games a year. His defensive play is top notch and you have to think Hughes wants to keep him. He's gotta be in the 3.5+ for 5 territory in his ask if they haven't made a deal yet.
Now just need to get a contract "excused" for reasons that can't be discussed. The old vegas maneuver. No state tax. LITR maneuver. Personal reasons contract termination.
Well. It's also team management after the tank. Eichel, Reinhardt, O'Reilly, Ullmark, Hagel, Dahlin looks like a winning core. Their mismanagement over the last 10 years should be a case study on how not to do it.
Google the traits of a fascist leader. What you're describing comes straight out of fascist playbook. Its starting to get alarming how many countries are embracing fascist. Last time the great depression was a major factor. This time, I suppose covid and maybe mass immigration? I don't know. Either way, I'm all for booing a fascist regime when their song comes on.
