DON

Which player might fill Evans role, at what cost? Dont think is an internal replacement. Armia/Savard good role players but seem much more easily replaceable. Heineman with his checking & skating, might be a good PK guy down the road, same as Beck, but not likely next year. Kapanen played a bit in his 12 games, but really only 3 NHL rookies playing on the PK.

OH well, i figured would get blown out by Panthers yesterday, might as well sweep Florida!

Shame that Matthew Schaefer broke clavicle, too bad cant see how well he would of done.

Habs is tied 24th place overall, 19th in goals/game... better.

We shall see tomorrow, would be nice if he would suit up for Laval and play great.

13 or so minutes left in 3rd, Matheson has all day next to his own net and fires a pass straight to a Panther in middle of ice, just makes you shake your head. Then at other end of ice he has 4 shots and seems such a smart player.

I read Carolina (i think it was) may be 1 team to possibly grab him off waivers.

Who are you thinking replaces them on the PK and at centre in October; Beck, Kapanen?

0-0 10-10 in shots end of 1st Roy 3 shots

Nice surprise and a shutout for Dobes, awesome.

Should it be, or will it likely be his last NCAA year?

Guhle, at times, is doing the same on the PK isnt he? And many do it on 2-on-1s, not just Skillsy & Savard.

Not fair to a green NHL goalie like Primeau and seems is a role more for a vet that the team can have a bit more confidence in.

7 points in last 4 games, not bad.

On pace for 90+pts. Tim Stützle Emerging As Next Senators Superstar "He took full advantage of the opportunity in the 2022-23 season, totaling 39 goals and 90 points at just 20 years old."

Canadiens Recall Jakub Dobes For NHL Debut "It stands to reason that we’ve seen the last of Primeau for a while, although the Habs likely can’t afford to jeopardize Dobes’ development by keeping him up as Montembeault’s backup for the rest of the year."

Nice weekend in Florida for Dobes, he likely not too sad to miss game in Laval today.

Could just be 3rd stringer again, or conditioning stint in Laval perhaps?

A 2026 1st pick wouldnt hurt to add. Do the Canucks have much exciting to offer for a Savard to help fill current gap? NHL trade matchmaker: Predicting where top targets go by the deadline, part 2 - The Athletic "The Canucks have struggled since losing Filip Hronek to a significant lower-body injury earlier this month, and they’re not expecting him to play again before February. That’s exposed a gaping need on the right side of the blue line that management has aggressively been trying to address."

Sure, seems fine, i am not real fussy who wears what, cept; as long as Habs never wear those god-awful barberpole striped things, or come up with a Black 3rd jersey.
