Id sign Evans 5 years for 3M.
-
Try hard to resign Evans.
Armia and Savard I would concider resigning cheap as well for depth.
I dont think Armia will sign for cheap though. Maybe at least 2M.
About giving the younger players icetime? Dump Pezetta and wait for the inevitable injuries to free up spots.
-
If we are fighting for a playoff spot close to the deadline it would be idiotic to go into sell mode. Keep them and enjoy the ride.
We can survive without those few draftpicks.
-
Happy that we got the best player in the 2022 draft considering we drafted 1st overall. Didnt expect him to be picked in the 2nd round though.
-
Demidov 2 goals today.
Im starting to get excited.
-
Im more scared of Slafkofskys contract than about giving Evans 4M 4-5 years.
-
Could Evans become Danault 2.0? If thats the case then resign him 5 years 3,5-4M.

Laine has said many times that he was happy when he found out it was Montreal that he was dealt to…Laine believes in HuGo’s rebuild plan and trajectory?
I think it would have been better not to throw his old team under the bus. Im sure it cost us a win AND they played him hard so he got injured.

Even if the sabres and wings really stink we just won 3 games in a row. Wins gives the guys confidence which can help them win against better teams. Lets hope for no more 9-2 stinkers.

Should have a decent chance to be the greatest #45 in habs history. Maybe not better than Dionne.

I was thinking about how a trade for a veteran RD would be the way to go before going to sleep but was thinking it would be to expensive. Happy I was wrong.

Can Newhook be trained to become Paul Byron 2.0? I liked Byron.
-
Would be a great time for Xhekaj to lose his cool and send Kreider flying.
Aaaand a win would be nice too

I have been quiet, but I'm sure others agree. All 3 of you need to piss off with the useless back and fourth. It's getting irritating. People have different opinions. If someone doesn't agree with yours, it's OK. Get over it and move on. People get their feelings hurt and feel singled out. It happens. Understand that it happens and stop escalating. I'm gonna start looking for another board soon. Ive been on this board since ESPN in 2000. It's getting old. All 3 of you need to back off of each other. Little kindness during the holiday season?
Aaah ESPN 2000. Kozed and Lindenfan. Those were the days.

Maybe Slaf needs some time in Laval.

I would not shed any tears if Kreider got a careerending kneeinjury. Think of me any way you want for that.

I liked Heineman's game as well. Id like to see him in the top 6.
-
I wish we traded Xhekaj while the hype was real. That spearing missed by the refs just made me feel good we got scored against.
The whole team stinks though.
No effort.
Marty better figure this out soon or its time for change...
-
Can Xhekaj be sent down without waivers?

Since you guys loved my thoughts on who my core are and when we will be competitive, I put together a list…
Last Bunch of Stanley Cup Champions and Their Rebuild Start Year..
2024 - Florida Panthers
- Rebuild Start: 2017…….. 7 Years to Cup
- First Major Pick: Owen Tippett (10th overall in 2017)
2023 – Vegas Golden Knights
- Rebuild Start: 2017 (Expansion Draft year)….. 6 years to Cup
- First Major Pick: Cody Glass (6th overall in 2017)
2022 – Colorado Avalanche
- Rebuild Start: 2016…. 6 Years to Cup (maybe 9)
- First Major Pick: Tyson Jost (10th overall in 2016)
- Could argue MacKinnon (1st overall in 2013) Making 9 years to Cup
2020 – Tampa Bay Lightning
- Rebuild Start: 2008…. 12 Years to Cup (Although got to finals in 2015)
-First Major Pick: Steven Stamkos (1st overall in 2008)
2019 – St. Louis Blues
- Rebuild Start: 2007…… 12 Years to Cup
- First Major Pick: Lars Eller (13th overall in 2007)
2018 – Washington Capitals
- Rebuild Start: 2004…… 14 Years to Cup
- First Major Pick: Alexander Ovechkin (1st overall in 2004)
2012 – Los Angeles Kings
- Rebuild Start: 2006….. 6 Years to Cup
- First Major Pick: Jonathan Bernier (11th overall in 2006)
2010 – Chicago Blackhawks
- Rebuild Start: 2004….. 6 Years to Cup
- First Major Pick: Cam Barker (3rd overall in 2004)
2009 – Pittsburgh Penguins
- Rebuild Start: 2003….. 6 Years to Cup
- First Major Pick: Marc-Andre Fleury (1st overall in 2003)
Teams Still Trying…
Edmonton Oilers…… 14 Years No Cup
- Rebuild Start: 2010
- First Major Pick: Taylor Hall (1st overall in 2010)
- McDavid drafted in 2015 (1st overall) So 9 Years No Cup in this case
Toronto Maple Leafs
-Rebuild Start: 2015…. 10 Years No Cup
-First Major Pick: Mitch Marner (4th overall in 2015)
-Morgan Reilly 2012 could push No Cup to 13 Years
New York Rangers….. 6 Years No Cup
- Rebuild Start: 2018 (announced via public letter to fans)
- First Major Pick: Vitali Kravtsov (9th overall in 2018)
Carolina Hurricanes
- Rebuild Start: 2015….. 10 Years No Cup
- First Major Pick: Noah Hanifin (5th overall in 2015)
New Jersey Devils
- Rebuild Start: 2016….. 8 Years No Cup
- First Major Pick: Michael McLeod (12th overall in 2016)
Kings are about 5 or 6 years in on their rebuild….
So it takes 4-6 years to build something that can compete for the Conference and if you are lucky with superstars (Crosby, Kane, Matthews, Malkin, Ovechkin, McDavid) you can maybe speed up the time frame and compete for a cup in 6 or 7.
We are in year 3. You can argue that we will finally get a sniff at a possible Franchise player next year with Demidov…2024 Draft … 3-4 years later we should be cooking.
I think I was guessing we would get competitive in the 2026-27 season (5th year) and look at being a real competitor in 2028-29.
2028-29 is 11 years after Suzuki’s draft year 2017 and he will be 29 almost 30. I guess he will have some gas in the tank still as a seasoned vet. If he keeps salary demands low and we can hang on to younger core players, the future is exciting. Just looks like crap now.You guys see Hughes being able to make the trades to speed up being competitive earlier ? Anderson and Gallagher come of the books end of 2026-27 season. That’s when I see us taking the big steps. Until then steady progression with bumps.
Can you please stop writing in very big letters? Makes it look like you think your posts are so very much more important than all others.

Predicting that the bruins will fall off this year. The rat is getting older and will start declining, Swayman will fall under the pressure of his new contract and the d isnt good enough to save him.
Habs win 4-2!
Riiiight?

I have a feeling our games against leafs and sens will be a bit on the angry side this season.
-
This was what worried me the most. Our 5th overall Dman missing crusial whole season.
Laine is annoying but this is alot worse.

The team has won 9 of their last 11 games, beating loads of top teams. Fighting for a wildcard spot, maybe even a top 3 in atlantic can ba possible and butterface wants to sell/tank?
It would be career suicide in habland by the gm to do that. What if we trade the ufas and start playing really bad with a bunch of 20-yearolds being booed of the ice?
