Rocket Weekly: The Pressure’s On Now – HabsWorld.net
– With Florian Xhekaj joining the team on a tryout deal, forward Jakov Novak was returned to ECHL Trois-Rivieres just a day after being recalled. Chris Jandric was also sent down for the Lions’ playoff run.
– Luke Tuch signed a one-way deal with the Rocket, meaning he’ll be eligible to play down the stretch and in the playoffs if Laval qualifies.

My only complaint is that June 28 is too far away. I want to know now 🥳
Well, on May 6th or 7th will find out what spot.
Jets vs Aves, i think it is, assume Aves will be favored?

Seems like a future Armia type? Hopefully "good " Armia, not like the bum we saw prior to January.
Maybe a Struble-like underrated physical guy, i guess is hope. We shall see how he does in Laval next season with Reinbacher, Hutson, Mesar, Beck...
-
Arizona up 1-0 mid-1st over Oilers... come on hang on!
-
Beck 0pts 3 shots 7/16 in 4-0 loss. Series is 2-2.
Mesar is down 3-0 in series vs London. His junior career could be over tomorrow.
Might he play in the world championships or Laval if they sneek into playoffs?
-
Great to hear Roy is back playing again.
Reinbacher 2g2a in 10 games so far.

I just said it would be easier to move up with Winnipeg's pick than their own ... predicted nothing.
Just asking your opinion, not saying good/bad.
I am predicting a trade of that pick, but only going on Hughes 1st 2 draft dealings thats all.
He said he did try and trade up the 1st year but no takers, so seems pretty likely he will be again be trying to swing some kind of deal(s) in 2 months.
-
Slaf also wasnt playing 1st line (or even top 6) minutes, or with the best linemates early on.

I suspect it might be "easier" to use the Jets' pick and other assets to move up into the "teens", maybe even 8-9-10th depending on the assets with which they are willing to part, than moving up from their own first round pick.
NOTE: Not "easy", but "easier"
You dont think Hughes wants a young NHLer; like Newhook-Dach and not another prospect?

It seems like more and more reports I have seen have Demidov at 2.
Oh well, now can Arizona beat the Oilers today?
-
A good sign to do it, bit stability i suppose and get any speculation out of way.
I dont have any big complaints about his coaching so far, giving Hutson & Mailloux so much icetime was unexpected but i liked it.

Saw this on another board. Commandant is not the only fan of Helenius.
What do you think of Helenius high end upside? Does he have what it takes to be a 1C rather than 2C?
From what have heard, seems Dadinov/Lindstrom also have intriguing descriptions and Lindstrom just seems like a Hughes pick, if picking 2nd.
Projection and Comparison
"The talent of Demidov is impossible to deny. His raw skills might be the best in terms of offense in the entire draft. His puckhandling, shot, passing, and even skating makes him a unique hockey player and prospect. There are many great offensive players, but not many quite like Demidov. ... he could easily be a point per game player in the NHL on most teams first line."Ivan Demidov Scouting Report: 2024 NHL Draft (lastwordonsports.com)

Hutson may be as nimble as any Hab in recent memory ... quick changes of direction, fakes, etc.
And may be the smallest Hab d-man.
Another fun game with lots of positives.
Hutson 23:32; Mailloux 21:11
Matheson 27:32 5 shots, nice finish and I saw he recently said he knows his defense is an area for him to work on.
Be nice to see him paired with a bonafide top pairing RHer at some point.

-
Mesar 2a 3 shots
-
Who is sitting Barron or Kovavevic?
-
Caufield 4 shots.
Gallagher with his14th- 15th goals and him pushing Hutson up, for his assist was funny.
Nice goal by Barron.
-
Entertaining game and Hutson was given lots of rope to play with.
-
Beck 2a 1 shot 12/23
(Parekh 1a 2 shots)
-
How will the wee fellow do?
Will the Wings wingers go wide and take him hard to the net?
Will they dump puck into his corner and try and put him though the end boards?
I like Savard as his partner, to start anyways.
-
ONCE signed, will he likely go hang out with Laval team till they are toast?
-
Marty was never a d-man, so not quite protégé-mentor thing.
Marty was just a forward... easiest position in hockey to play.

Half a great, surprising season vs. a career of mediocrity.
Similar offense to when acquired.
Just hopes he can stay healthy for a season and maybe even help in playoffs?
Being 32 in 25-26 season, i cant see being in long term Hab plan though.
