Tuch isnt much of a prospect, is he?
He seems like he can forecheck and be physical, but thats about it isnt it?
The couple of times I saw him in person, I was really impressed. I think he rounds into an NHLer.

I’d really like to see Timmons as a GM. I always wondered if he was overruled on those questionable 1st round picks by GMs. I always wanted to see his personal pre-draft rankings. I felt he found steals later, but GMs picked 1st round players and traded away 2nd round picks. Only way to know for sure is to give the guy a chance.

3.15 average salary
Ok! Trusting it’s the right call. Best thing to me is perhaps the 3 goalie rotation is nearing an end. It’s easier to let Primeau walk with Monty & Allen signed for next year.

Tuch? Looks better due to his new elite linemate seems likely i am assuming.

Perhaps the linemates have helped - but I’m telling ya - the game I saw him play in person vs Notre Dame … he stood out. Not cuz I was looking for him, but because of his play. Id see a smart play, good traffic in front of the net, a hard hit … and often it was Tuch! I didn’t think much of him, until I saw that game.

Perhaps Struble's game is more suited for the pro game than the college game.
All I know is that watching him in person at the prospects tourney really changed my impression of him. I think he is an NHLer.

According to the official stats, it says he was on the ice for one opposing even-strength goal. That's all I know.
Whether he sucks as a D-man, I'll admit I have never seen him play a game.
Ya - I remembered what I saw - then I went back to check highlights from the game and there he was. Stat guy got it wrong (fairly confident it wasn’t a PP either - but that’s hard to remember)
Regardless - Hutson was fun to watch and demonstrated his IQ often with his creativity. I mostly went to the game BECAUSE I wanted to see him in person.

Hutson was -1 on the night, on the ice for one of three ND even-strength goals. BU lost 4-1 as Ryan Bischel (24yo undrafted goalie) made 42 saves on 43 shots.
Tuch was -2.
Plus/minus doesn’t tell the story. Also, I do know for a fact that Hutson was on the ice for goals 2 and 4 by the Irish.
Tuch’s -2 doesn’t tell the story of how he played.
-
Huston was ok. On the ice for too many goals against. Some creative play but I’m not sure I’d have noticed him if I wasn’t a Habs fan.
Tuch. He was the one that impressed! Playing with Celebrini. He was living in the dirty places - tenacious - making plays. Looked like a PF to me!
-
I’m attending the ND vs Boston hockey game tonight. First time I get to see Lane Hutson in person.

Mix this into the Petry trade! Petry … the gift that keeps on giving!

As per TSN
To Habs - Tanner Pearson (LW) & 3rd round pick
To Vancouver - Casey DeSmith
He has 1 year at 3.25.

The team got stronger as the game went on imo.
Mailloux looked better and better. He didn’t get an assist on the Mysak goal, but it’s his clearing the zone that set it up.
Roy got better too. As did Kidney and Davidson etc. Mesar ALWAYS looked like a boy among men. Sad thing - is these aren’t even men!
I’ll add this - Miller was impressively solid. He seemed positionally sound and cool under pressure. I never saw panic even when there was chaos around him.
PS - saw Lecavalier, Gorton, Hughes and got a pic with St Louis. I’m in hockey geek heaven!

2nd period.
much stronger overall period for the Habs.
Guys like Simoneau and Smilanic were spark plugs working their tails off.
Heineman, Mysak were visible! Still disappointed with Mesar, Roy and Kidney.
Laoouian has a shot it seems. Gets it on net and varies it up.
Novak, Dufort, Ortiz, Demin, Tourigny - meh.
still liking Struble.
-
1st period observations (hell knows I’m no scout - prolly missed tons - but is what I saw that I thot might be of interest)
Mailloux - ya, some gaffes. Also some smart plays. Seems to me like a guy holding on to his stick to tight. Wonder if the scrutiny got to him or if it’s just a slump.
Kidney - backed off from physical engagements too often for my taste.
Struble - impressed me most. Vocal quarterback. Looked like a leader to me. Smart player.
Heineman, Mesar, Mysak - didn’t notice them. That’s why I’m commenting. Maybe I was looking at the defense when they were on - but invisible to me.
simoneau - gosh he is small
Watch for a McKay/Kuntar fight in the 2nd - they were gabbering after the first.
that’s all for now!

I almost think after reading the comments here that expectations are a little too high for Mailloux. He has had 1 season of junior hockey, he needs playing time in the AHL, lots of it. It's probably not a work ethic problem it's more likely a lack of confidence, not sure where he should be so perhaps it looks like he is standing around. Defensemen take longer. I didn't see the game so just guessing here.
I also wonder what the coaches want Mailloux (or whoever) to work on. Never know if some gaffs are because they are attempting to grow their skills and/or follow their coaches instructions.
time will tell
it always does

Disappointed I won’t get to see Reinbacher play today (since I’m attending the game in Buffalo).
But the Habs have so many prospects with potential - still worth the trip to see the game!
(plus - sadly, I’m friends 4 of the Bruins’ prospects from my time as the Youngstown Phantoms’ chaplain)
-
I’m headed to Buffalo to see the Habs prospects on Saturday! Anyone else going? Looking forward to being able to see the prospects with my own eyes on a full sheet of ice instead of whatever a cameraman points to.

Petry to Detroit for Lindstrom and Conditional 4th. Retain 50%.
-
I feel like I’m about to ask a dumb question …
Couldn’t the Habs bury Armia or Hoffman in the AHL and have their cap hit deducted (or some of it). I know it’s wishful thinking someone would claim them on waivers, but seems like it would allow them to avoid LTIR for Price.

I have zero issue with the Florian pick. Rounds 3 onwards is a crap shoot. What I do have an issue with not going with BPA in the first two rounds. Round 1 in particular and within the top 10 picks all the time! You should always be taking BPA without any exceptions.
I’m thinking they DID select who they considered to be BPA. People who are not hired to make selections are hired to make these lists that us fans then take as ‘truth’. Hughes didn’t go off the board with his 1st round pick. He selected HIS OPINION of BPA. Time will tell if he was right or wrong. In the meantime - I’m hoping that DR fulfills the potential Hughes et al see in him.

You're totally right. There are so many teams today that I forget who was in what division. A lot of teams today didn't exist when that trade happened. LA was the only team in Cali at that time. I questioned it because it just sounded super odd to trade the best player of all time to a team in the same Division. It's not really a good idea to even do that in the same Conference.
I’m not sure divisional play mattered so much back then.
Balanced schedule and 1 vs 16 playoff format.

Agreed. He was just so solid when I saw him in person. Granted - super small sample size - only 2 game. But he stood out. Not on the score sheet - but in impacting the game.
that said - I only think NHLer - I’d bet 3rd line is his ceiling.
