  1. Could ylonen work? Montreal doesn’t have space for Ylonen, NYR doesn’t have space for lunqvist. Now I think Lunqvist has the higher upside, but could they values be argued to be similar?
  2. I think lunqvist is a case of lack of room and also adjusting to the NA game, not failing as a prospect entirely. Let’s not forget he turned 22 just a few days ago, so at 21, he was approaching .5 ppg in his rookie AHL season. I think he has the potential to be a 40 point puck mover in a couple years
  3. With Nils Lunqvist asking for a trade, we should target him. Young right handed D man with a focus on offence is exactly what we need. what we’d have to give up I’m unsure
  4. Huh? By Romy do you mean Romanov? I’m very confused on what you mean, because the way I’m reading it seems insanely unlikely
  5. Woah that’s a ton of conditions. No wonder it took so long. I’d prefer to use it to draft in 2023 rather than 2024 (at the earliest if MTL is able to opt for it)
  6. Rumblings from sources like Engels that a first could be involved
  7. Sounds like the US could have used some offence, if only a player like Lane Hutson was available 🙃
  8. I understand the risk of multiple inexperienced hires, but I’m happy with whoever MSL goes with. If he got his guy, and believes he’ll be the best fit I’m ok and here’s why: MSL seems to be a new iteration of coaching that I’ve been wanting for a long time i.e, a coach who doesn’t bend his players into his system, but bends his system around his players. In order to get the most out of your roster, you have to play off their strengths. It’s been too long that I’ve seen people stifled under strict systems that simply don’t fit the player. Put a Lamborghini in a rally car race and it probably gets stuck. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad vehicle, just gotta put it on the right track. Inherently, I believe this style of coaching is more adaptive/resilient to challenges. so despite the inexperience, the people in place are tailor-made to adapt and figure it out. On top of this, it’s a player development friendly style. I’m happy not to have another old boys club coach-fossil resurrected for the 10th time. But of course, I concede there’s a ton of risk because we don’t have much indication of just how good Robidas is at coaching
  9. Is your train of thought that 2 years is enough assessment time, and then the next long-term contract could come in a little cheaper (and expire when he’s still younger)
  10. So Habs would be better served with a 3 year show me contract. on the other hand, could a guy like Dach take a discount if you signed him for 4 years taking him to UFA? I don’t see it being likely but it’s an interesting thought
  11. My bet is he’s close to 6’4, and so likely will be listed as 6’4 in a few years time with a tiny bit more growth. also, wouldn’t surprise me to see 240 if he’s already 227. Ovechkin has always played at 240 and he was pretty good
  12. I agree, my memories of Petry will be fond for sure. He continuously outperformed my expectations, and truly he blossomed with the Habs! that said, the rumblings of Petry’s (and prices too) wives pushing some ‘extreme’ political views just seems like a distraction to me. love Petry the player, and he seemed like a good guy, but I think we dodged a bullet before the whole politics aspect manifested some toxicity. all in all, thanks Petry for your time as a hab! Decent trade, and ended on a fine enough note
  13. Kind of like this, definitely not upset on first blush
  14. Both big European wingers who played in Liiga with ok to good (JP better) production for draft eligible guys. Shined in international competition which boosted their stock drastically. Skate well especially for big guys. Both have great hands and good puck protections skills.
  15. I agree we have to watch out getting too high on prospects, but I am actually particularly high on Hutson. I just think he has “it”. when I watch him it reminds me of how I felt seeing Subban and the world juniors.
  16. He’s going to be an actual star, calling it now.
  17. What the deal with rem pitlick not being qualified? Is it a situation where his QO is more than what he’ll cost UFA? I was expecting him back
  18. Yea, I’m not saying I expect a ton out of them the first few years, but having guys on cheap deals allows the space for vets during a nice run
  19. Great proposal, fills needs of both teams. The RD is one of the weaker spots in our (fairly strong) system
  20. Beck strikes me as a player we’re going to love, even though he might only score 15-20 goals and 35-40 points. Sort of like how Lehkonen was for us. Him, Mesar and Hutson could be perfectly timed to be that cheap entry level youth when the Habs try to win a cup in 3 years.
  21. A lot of it stems from failed development of guys like KK in the past, but I’m so nervous for both Slaf and Dach next season. If these guys don’t prove to be bonafide too 6ers (in short order) it’ll be a disaster for the future. im rooting for both, even though I’m not confident in either
  22. Same, I never dove into him deeply because the point totals didn't impress me. But the more I read the more I like him
  23. Instant impression on Rohrer is I really like him, especially at 75. Then we're just getting really late in the draft and who knows what will happen.
  24. Overall feels like we had a very solid draft though eh?
