Scott462 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Here is Hudon bit on 2nd line LW spot. http://awinninghabit.com/2016/07/11/canadiens-2nd-line-options-charles-hudon/ Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott462 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I think I read that too about Shaw. Based on who the CH may want to protect from the expansion draft, I think they will let Danault play himself into Deharnais' spot and that they will let the three others (Andrighetto, Carr, Hudon) contend for the last spot in the protection list. I also hope they keep the 2 extra defenders, and that they manage Markov's playing time in what should be his last season. With a healthy Price this team should make it to the playoffs and if the team's newly acquired leadership can deliver as advertised they should do OK but unfortunately short of contending for the cup. Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Radulov [***] - Plekanec -Gallagher [***] - Desharnais - Shaw Byron - Flynn - Mitchell [***]Andrighetto/Carr/Hudon/Danault Beaulieu - Weber Markov - Petry Barberio - Pateryn Emelin Price Montoya/Condon If Danault can move over DD it would be optimal but I still don't know how I feel about him still on the squad I guess he has a purpose but meh. I personally think Radulov should be on the second line giving us two actual solid scoring lines and he has shown to be a decent two way player similar to pleks. Change it up for the PP though. If Price stays healthy it's definitely possible I'm not a big fan on relying on the kids to carry too much weight but who knows we might get surprised.

JGC21 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Another projected lineup, because I'm bored. Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Gallagher Andrighetto - Plekanec - Radulov Lehkonen - Desharnais - Shaw Byron - Mitchell - Danault Flynn, Carr Beaulieu - Weber Markov - Petry Emelin - Pateryn Barbeiro Price Montoya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Gallagher Andrighetto - Plekanec - Radulov Lehkonen - Desharnais - Shaw Byron - Mitchell - Danault Flynn, Carr Beaulieu - Weber Markov - Petry Emelin - Pateryn Barbeiro Price Montoya I think Carr should be in for Byron. I know he scored a couple goals last year but overall I don't think he is the best option, really fast and has a good shot but his two way game is pretty bad and is quite undersized for the NHL. Good line up though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Gallagher Andrighetto - Plekanec - Radulov Lehkonen - Desharnais - Shaw Byron - Mitchell - Danault Flynn, Carr Beaulieu - Weber Markov - Petry Emelin - Pateryn Barbeiro Price Montoya I would flip Carr and Andrighetto, but rest agree.

Commandant Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I get the feeling that Bergevin still isn't done, there are just too many bottom six players on this roster right now. I think he's gonna ship one or two out. Look at that lineup and consider Michael McCarron, JDLR, and Stefan Matteau are no where to be found.

DON Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Easy enough to see McCarron and Rose in St. Johns. And Matteau should not even be in any picture, he skates poorly and not a big shooter neither. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 You've also got Hudon. And while I don't like Matteau, management traded for him, which means they saw something there and are likely to give him an opportunity. It still seems to me that there is a real log jam on the bottom of the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I think they'll try Galchenyuk and Radulov together. Plekanec will play with Pacioretty and Gallagher. Byron will be an everyday player based on his PK ability. I don't believe Lehkonen makes the team. Carr Galchenyuk Radulov Pacioretty Plekanec Gallagher Danault Desharnais Shaw Byron Mitchell Andrighetto Beaulieu Weber Price Markov Petry Montoya Emelin Pateryn Barberio Team is seriously short of 1 proven top 6 forward. They better hope for a drastically improved pp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Radulov Lehkonen - Plekanec - Gallagher Carr - Desharnais - Shaw Byron - Mitchell - Danault Andrighetto, FlynnBeaulieu - WeberMarkov - PetryEmelin - PaterynBarberioPrice Montoyais my best guess, but i think we have at least one more trade coming.

Scott462 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) I think the Galchenyuck Pacioretty duo looked really good st the end of last year. Good chemistry and throw in Gallagher to crash the net and be a pest that's a good scoring line. Plek is a good veteran that will play a strong two way game for Radulov to work his magic and like I said he also has a decent two way game as well. Add in Carr and again another solid scoring line with a decent two way upside. Now I think a lot of the young kids will be fighting for that 2 LW spot and like the link Don shared earlier it could possibly be Hudon if he can get his shit together. Carr/Hudon/Lehkonen/Andrighetto could all make it, will be interesting to see who comes out on top Edited July 30, 2016 by Scott462 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how the team's weakness shifted from rw to lw since last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how the team's weakness shifted from rw to lw since last season. I don't mind that it shifted to the other side. I'd suggest that it's easier to fill a left wing vacancy than a right wing one. Quite honestly, it's finally nice to see some quality RW depth.

Machine of Loving Grace Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Left wing depth is a joke now. Max goes down we have no one Don't be silly. Montreal has a coach that sure likes to play its top centre at left wing. Max goes down? Chuck moves back to LW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link67 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Radulov Lehkonen - Plekanec - Gallagher Carr - Shaw - Byron Mitchell - Danault - Andrighetto Scratch: Flynn Markov - Weber Beaulieu - Petry Pateryn - Barberio Scratch:Joel Hanley or Zach Redmond Hopefully we find a way to trade the now expiring contracts of Desharnais and Emelin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hopefully we find a way to trade the now expiring contracts of Desharnais and Emelin Desharnais is expiring but Emelin has two years left. I also doubt you'll find a trade taker for Desharnais when guys like Hudler and Vrbata are available for free in free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stogey24 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Over 7 million in healthy scratches. Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Over 7 million in healthy scratches. Ouch. Aside from the Eller/Emelin/DD deals, Bergevin handled the cap extremely well. The team will have money to prepare for expiring contracts they want to keep and RFAs they want to sign long term. Turning Eller's two years of $3.5M into Shaw's $3.9M for five years isn't so hot but if Shaw plays better than Eller did on the wing, it'll be worth it for the most part.

I think he's gonna ship one or two out. Look at that lineup and consider Michael McCarron, JDLR, and Stefan Matteau are no where to be found. I don't think that McCarron and DLR make the team. They will be in the AHL. So will Hudon, he just doesn't seem to be on the team's radar. If Lehkonen doesn't make it either, then Carr replaces him and Matteau earns a spot. But in all honesty, Matteau doesn't even look like an NHLer. He should clear waivers and play in the AHL this year. If MB makes another trade, my guess it's for D help so maybe a Flynn or Mitchell gets moved but I doubt it. Most likely Condon is traded for a prospect in October.

Was funny result when in 'a' poll, McCarron was the #1 youngster predicted to crack opening day roster, but not many here slot him in. And Lehkonen seems a bit overlooked here also. But, are so many battling for spots maybe both with be in St. Johns to start the season at least? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
