I do agree that playing important games is good for development. Could have gone either way. I bet it almost did more than once. But think they are past the picks phase. It’s now about culture. They have a chance to have playoffs. Cuz they are having it right nOw. And then the Rockets also get a chance to win big. Trickle effect of not losing anyone, will play dividends towards the future for everyone in the organization. Quote
Prime Minister Koivu Posted March 7 Posted March 7 If there was a deal worth doing, it would have got done. Hughes seems to like the draft for dealing so I’ll hold out hope till then. Let’s make the playoffs and then wish Savard all the best at the end of the season. 1 Quote
huzer Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Deadline is what I expected from the Habs. First time in a while that there hasn't been a trade of some sort, it seems, though. Quote

Dalhabs Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Maybe Kapanen comes back and fills that 2C role after great season in SHL. Quote

Prime Minister Koivu Posted March 8 Posted March 8 I'm not big on Cozens but he would have helped. Quote

I'm expecting something big this summer Quote

Dallas and Florida have their own Finns as well. It may be personal relationships with the other Finns on those teams--or the allure of the Cup. Quote

My comment was more a shot at Kotkaniemi and Carolina in general, for the offer sheet incident with us in the past. Purposely overlooking that Heiskanen, Lindell, Hintz & Granlund > Kotkaniemi, Raanta & Aho. Quote
dreegking Posted March 9 Posted March 9 Losing in Calgary. Tough game. Felt like they are one improvement player or two away. Doesn't it. I feel adding like others with a marginal upgrade for the year would have been the prudent thing. We shall see. I would be thrilled Tobe wrong, but I see a fade coming. Quote
GNick Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Re-sign Dvorak next year, short term deal around 2.5m? Good 4th line center. Been playing decent hockey. Beck should have great year in AHL. His second year in league. Gives us depth down the middle, good call up if injuries Quote
Commandant Posted March 16 Posted March 16 No. Need to integrate one of Beck/Kapanen. Let them fight for the spot in camp. Quote
PMAC Posted March 16 Posted March 16 4 hours ago, Commandant said: No. Need to integrate one of Beck/Kapanen. Let them fight for the spot in camp. I agree. Although Dvorak has been playing better lately, it’s time to move on from him at the end of the season. IF we re-sign one of our veteran UFA’s it should be Armia if the deal is team friendly enough.

dlbalr Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Revisiting an older rumour, Elliotte Friedman had an update on the offer supposedly on the table for Zegras back at the draft. Seems like the offer was Mailloux and the later first rounder for him. But as we know, once Demidov fell, that was pulled. https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/anaheim-ducks/latest-news/report-rumored-zegras-to-canadiens-trade-at-2024-draft-clarified Quote

I feel like we dodged a bullet on this one. Quote
