  1. I thought Slaf made a few decent plays in the third. Granted, the standard for him is so low that a few decent plays constitute a step in the right direction. He's still so raw, but he seems noticeably less clueless than he was last year. It'll be a long runway for him; we're really targeting five years down the line.

     

    A regulation loss is not bad in the scheme of things. At least we're not getting walloped like the Sharks.

  2. Slaffy's getting frustrated. I'd love for him to score one tonight in front of the home crowd just to get the monkey off his back.

     

    Lots of empty seats in the crowd. Does anyone use gametime or other last minute ticket-selling apps? I'm wondering if there are any last minute deals on tickets to be found out there.

  3. I think Anderson might still be turned into a 1st rounder + prospect at this deadline or the next. With a (finally) rising cap, he's the type of guy who can put a contender over the hump and his age doesn't really fit with our young core. He also will likely become a bit of millstone once he loses a step, so it'd be best to move off him while his value is still high.

    Sounds like the duos are

     

    Cc - suzuki

    Monahan - Dach

    Newhook - anderson

     

     

    And then the third member of each line is tbd

     

    Potential thirds on those lines include Slafkovsky, Pearson, RHP, Gallagher, ylonen, armia, 

     

    Those are decent duos, at least we should be able to put Slaf with good players as long as we keep him off the fourth line. No one really stands out as deserving of the first line spot though.

  5. Gotta keep accumulating picks - it'll be a long rebuild. By 2025 we'll hopefully be in position to flip some of them for a good player.

     

    Is Pearson ready to start the season? Like others, I'm not thrilled about him taking a spot from a young guy, but then again we don't really have many forward prospects emphatically deserving a spot in the lineup. A year or two in Laval will do them well.

    I like the trade too but we got the 2nd round pick basically to take on the 2nd year of Petry's contract. If he only had 1 year left then it would be a much better deal but you have to pay to gain cap space and that's what Pittsburgh did. I can only imagine what Montreal would have to give up to get rid of Gallagher's contract. 

     

    If Petry plays well in Montreal than his value will go up and it could turn out to be a great trade.  I like the fact the 2nd round pick is 2025 as I heard an analyst say the 2025 draft will be much better than 2024 but it's really too early to say that I think. 

     

    It helps that RD is a position of need, and if we have to keep Petry he'll be useful for us. I guess the deal will look worse if he's still on the cap next year and we're having trouble unloading him.
