hankhab Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Thought it would be interesting, with free agency beginning Sunday (I will be out on motorcycle all day weather permitting, so cell phone updates will have to do for the free agent frenzy day) to take a look at who we actually have in the lineup, and how that will change with free agency/trades during the summer. So, here goes for the forwards: Patches-Desharnes-Cole Gionta-Plekanics-Bourque Leblanc-Eller-Palushaj White-Gomez/Nokalinen-Geoffrion Not overly intimidating yet, and a lot of work to be done. I could see us potentially trading one or more of the top 6, and adding a couple of bodies to the bottom 6 via free agency. We all hope Gomez isn't there by the start of the season, and ou could potentially put Galy there as well, but we will have to wait and see for that. Feel free to suggest and speculate upcoming moves. Quote

nihilz Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Marleau - Plek - Doan Pacioretty - DD - Cole Kostitsyn - Eller - LL Moen - T.Mitchell - White Geoffrion - Noke Quote
hankhab Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 We can now officially add Moen, I like him on the third line with Leblanc and Eller at the moment. Quote
hab29RETIRED Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 MaxPac - Eller - DD Gally - Pleks - Cole Leblanc/Bourque - Plug - Gionta Moen - plug - White This is of course only possible if Gally has a HUGE camp and shows he clearly belongs in the 10 game limit, otherwise he should be back for another year of juniors. I really want the habs to move DD to the wing and I'd also try to resign AK46 and play him with Pleks and Cole and in that case, if Gally does have a strong camp, i'd move him as the 3rd line centre with Gionta and Bourque. Having said that i'd try REALLY hard to move Bourque and Kaberle, althought i think both would be tough to move. If Bourque ever does get hot during the season, i'd dump him before he goes to his usual lazy ass soft play. Quote
dlbalr Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Lost in the news of the Moen re-signing was the note that Brad Staubitz was informed that the Habs will not be making him a contract offer. Quote

JMMR Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Nor to Campoli whom Habs fans may owe a lot to one day if this years drafted players turn out as promised. Quote
Trizzak Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Nor to Campoli whom Habs fans may owe a lot to one day if this years drafted players turn out as promised. Took me awhile to figure out what you meant and then I was all like "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH SNAP SON!" Quote
bbp Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Took me awhile to figure out what you meant and then I was all like "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH SNAP SON!" Maybe its the beer... but I still don't get it after awhile of thinking! Quote
lazy26 Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Maybe its the beer... but I still don't get it after awhile of thinking! Campoli = the reason why we finished 3rd last. Quote
JMMR Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Campoli = the reason why we finished 3rd last. One of the major ones yes! Quote
bbp Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Campoli = the reason why we finished 3rd last. And in the morning I understand! haha Quote
hankhab Posted July 2, 2012 Author Posted July 2, 2012 Will we be adding Jagr to our list today? Quote
johnnyhasbeen Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Pacs DD Cole Gionta Pleks Bourque Prust Niko Armstrong Moen Eller White As I see it today. Still not a fan of the second line. Now if Bourque was to become Parise or even Jagr, I feel good. Then Rene is in and out of the lineup alternating with White. I left Gomez out, a should the Habs. Quote

Nokia couldn't stay in the lineup last season? I'm just wondering why you'd have developing Eller on the fourth and that warm body on the third. Really thats all i see Nokia as on the habs. 1 Quote
EMELINATOR Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Pacioretty-DD-Cole Moen-Plex-Gionta Bourque-Eller-Prust White-Nokia-Armstrong I think if we don't find a top six forward.. Travis plays left wing with Plex & Gionta. He'll stand in front of the net, do the dirty work in the corners and protect his linemates. Not the best option, but it leaves Bourque playing with Eller and that gives him a big shooter to set up and gives us more offense on the 3rd unit. I hope we make a play for Evander Kane though. And if he makes the squad, Gally could play on the left to start as well. Pacioretty-DD-Cole Gally-Plex-Gionta Moen-Eller-Bourque White-Prust-Armstrong Edited July 2, 2012 by EMELINATOR Quote
hankhab Posted July 2, 2012 Author Posted July 2, 2012 Patches-DD-Cole Jagr-Pelx-Gionta Moen-Eller-Bourque Armstrong-Prust-White/Nok Now thats a quality NHL lineup. Quote
bbp Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Patches-DD-Cole Jagr-Pelx-Gionta Moen-Eller-Bourque Armstrong-Prust-White/Nok Now thats a quality NHL lineup. I'd love to see that. Quote
JMMR Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Isn't Jagr a RW? Yes I think so but he can either wing. Quote
JGC21 Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Since Jagr ain't coming, I would go with this at forward: Pacioretty / Desharnais / Cole PLUG / Plekanec / Gionta Bourque / Eller / Moen Prust / White / Armstrong Obviously a trade is in the works that will likely include Gomez/Weber and maybe picks/prospects for a LW. If that happens, then insert Geoffrion on the 3rd line. Quote
JCPetit Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 BTW, Bergevin made it clear today that Gomez is part of the team. Quote
JGC21 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Maybe the plug is Leblanc? I think Leblanc and Palushaj need to spend the year in Hamilton. Geoffrion too. However, injuries may force MB's hand. What about signing Brian Rolston? He may still have something left... Extra's in the press box would be Nokia and Blunden. With 8 D currently under contract, a trade is definitely coming. Quote
