  1. Bunch of jokers. Tuch is 23, i dont have a great feeling he will help the Habs much. 21 yr old Xhekaj likely passed him on depth chart for that role, hasnt he? Being used on the PK in Laval, as a rookie, must help Florian's stock.
  2. It is because it seems no one else agrees with your point.
  3. Was pulling for Habs to grab Thorpe's teammate at 81 or 82, who fell to end of 3rd round, is similar (higher rated he was) to Mooney they say. Following in Gallagher's footsteps with nice 40g draft year.
  4. Made me chuckle anyways. Just dont think Thorpe is a fighter, he is huge and guess using his size more.
  5. https://www.habseyesontheprize.com/montreal-canadiens-development-camp-recap-day-3-tyler-thorpe-l-j-mooney-michael-hage-bryce-pickford-goal-arseni-radkov-hayden-paupanekis-aatos-koivu/ Team White responded less than a minute later, with Bryce Pickford going end-to-end and beating two defenders before going backhand over the outstretched pad of Alexis Cournoyer to make it 2-1. The Canadiens have a lot to be happy about with this crop of young players. Thorpe was the overall standout of the day for me. I thought his skating was really impressive, and his size was undeniable. He dominated the competition at times and was always positive on the ice.
  6. Seems buried on LH-d depth chart. Habs re-sign William Trudeau – HabsWorld.net Trudeau will be waiver-eligible for the first time next season and with demand for blueliners typically being high, it’s not a guarantee that he’s able to pass through unclaimed. If he does, he’ll be a key piece of a Rocket blueline that has undergone quite the overhaul with five new defencemen added in recent days, two on NHL deals and three signed directly to Laval.
  7. How has it been too aggressively? Seems have made lots of picks and still have couple extra next year? There is a limit to size of prospect pool.

  8. Higher scorer in the Q and in his rookie year with 19g vs 3g in Burrows 1st full season. So seems more offense may be expected... even if dont have Henrik & Daniel to feed him tap-ins.
  9. 0.77pts/game reg season 0.47pts/game playoffs But, 7 pts in 8 games this playoffs. So if is no thing as a clutch player, can there be the opposite and have a fader when game importance increased? Assume not.
  10. Dont think so, i think he did say Saku is here with him in Montreal.
  11. 30 kids 6'4" or taller taken in 1st 3 rounds. Seems more jumbo kids than usual.
  12. The Mooney & Hage show. Montreal Canadiens development camp recap: Day 2 The goaltenders worked on a lot of lateral movement drills, testing reactions and positioning, and I thought they were all solid. Hage was the only forward who was consistently scoring, and I thought the goaltenders got the better of the forwards overall; none stood out as shaky to me. I was impressed with Arseni Radkov’s positioning, and he seemed to be the most aware goaltender. The forwards started with one-on-one corner battles. L.J. Mooney was the biggest standout for me here, followed by Hage, Hayden Paupanekis, and Eriksson. All of these players combined skill with serious physical effort and ended up being head and shoulders above the rest. ... As the drill continued, Mooney and Hage started to dominate all their matchups, separating themselves from the rest... ... The usual suspects stood out here, with Mooney and Hage putting on a good show, but I thought Sam Harris made a couple of really great plays. ... When Mooney and Hage are split up, each is the best skater in his group. Camp pictures 2025 Development Camp | Montréal Canadiens
  13. Habs re-sign Sean Farrell, sign Marc Del Gaizo – HabsWorld.net ...Overall, Farrell had 20 goals and 24 assists in 67 games in 2024-25 while adding 10 points in 13 playoff contests, doing enough to get a qualifying offer earlier this week. As for Del Gaizo, he split last season between Nashville and their AHL affiliate in Milwaukee, spending more time with the former. The 25-year-old got into 46 games with the Preds, picking up two goals and seven assists along with 53 blocks and 71 hits in over 16 minutes a night of ice time. Meanwhile, he had eight goals and four helpers in 30 games with the Admirals.
  14. FWIW- Development camp scrimmage tomorrow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekEXyGjSoPY
  15. Which were history before the draft and Bolduc trade. You dont believe every report with folks saying Hughes has been trying hard to swing a deal for a centre, he couldnt and turned attention to simply an upgrade at wing. You dont think was a hole for a #1 RH-d that needed addressed? Not anywhere have i seen noted St Louis got the better player in that trade. Commandant already listed assets still available. Reinbacher seems had already passed Mailloux (safer to play at NHL level) on depth chart.
  16. No, not in the least. Why do you think moving a AHL d-man (likely #8 in depth) and bottom six checker is a big deal?
  17. Canadiens' trade for Bolduc another building block towards contention - Sportsnet.ca BROSSARD, Que.— The broadcast featured Jeff Gorton as an NHL Network panelist, breaking down the attributes of prospects in real-time as they were being drafted into the NHL just four months before he formally accepted the job he currently occupies as executive vice-president of hockey operations for the Montreal Canadiens. It was when Zachary Bolduc was taken 16th overall by the St. Louis Blues that the former GM of the New York Rangers perked up a bit. “Beautiful skater, lots of talent here,” Gorton started. “He played with (2020 first-overall pick of the New York Rangers Alexis) Lafreniere (in junior), scored 30 goals as a 16-year-old, so he’s been on the map a little bit. Maybe a little bit undersized. But as he gets a little bigger and stronger, he can be a real top-six player for somebody.”
  18. Boldy! Another simple nickname. A March write up on him. Zack Bolduc suits the Blues well: ‘Really developing into an all-around NHL player’ - The Athletic "From being a healthy scratch to being heavy on the forecheck, Bolduc’s process is taking shape. He scored his 12th goal of the season and was promoted to the Blues’ top line in their 5-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday. But what’s more important than Bolduc’s offense, which includes 25 points in 56 games, is why he’s scoring and why Montgomery gave him a prime assignment: the smart plays, the physicality and the defensive responsibility that has made him a legitimate factor in the team turning its season around."
  19. But has been pretty much just 2, Gallagher & Evans to play alot for Habs, of the Habs draft picks in last 15 years from the 3rd-7th rounds... i think.
  20. I guess he also is a cup winner with the Blues. 3pts in 15 playoff games that year. He has 71pts in 257gms, 38pts in 200games for Pezzetta. Sammy Blais Hockey Stats and Profile at hockeydb.com
  21. He would like a ring before that am sure.
  22. I guess overall lost a bottom six winger in trade in Heineman and added a middle six Winger. So bit of upgrade at least.
  23. I wonder how close Hughes offer for Dvorak was to Phillys?
