Given Bergevin's comments today, I'll double down on my prediction from last week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your lines are great and if we roll 4 lines then we are one of the deepest, most difficult teams out there. Failure would most certainly land on CJ’s head. we are perfectly built for this season and playoffs. I Expect Byron to be in and out of taxi, covering injuries and playing games where speed is worth more than power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 On D at practice Chairot - Weber Edmundson - Petry Romanov - Kulak Anderson is apparently impressive If I knew how to post tweets from iPhone I would be!

I've been through the numbers before, but his 5v5 play both in points and possession compares favourably to guys like ROR, Tavares, Couturier, Bergeron, etc.... He just doesn't have the PP points. If those guys are getting 9 and 10 million per year, he's easily worth 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If CJ’s comments are any indication I bet Perry will find time on every line and will have tons of PP time I expect Perry to be a regular on the 4th.

DON Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Mete? I dont know if this stat means much, just surprised to see his name.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 This is a case where I’m gonna go old-school and stick with the eye test. Mete is a bottom-pairing guy and his upside is limited IMHO. He’s analogous to Josh Gorges in the specific sense of being a serviceable bottom-pairing guy who tends to see his minutes inflated due to talent limitations on the Habs’ blue line. Now that Romanov (and Edmunson) are in the picture, it will be interesting to see how, or whether, he hangs on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think bit underrated by many Hab fans, will be dealt sooner than later due to bit of logjam and do fine elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I like Mete a lot. I think he mostly suffers from not realizing how good he actually is. I'd hate to see him figure it out later with a different team, especially with his trade value currently so low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Well, it has been a great start to the season and the current line-up has helped the team get moe points than anyone expected. I am wondering if the long break and extra practice time will bring some changes to the line-up. If I am not mistaken, Toffoli and Armia had swapped sides before Armia got injured. And Toffoli just caught fire I am wondering if we may see Anderson sheltered a bit by moving him down. Toffoli is outplaying him and I believe he has earned a promotion: Tatar-Danault-Gallagher Drouin-Suzuki-Toffoli Perry-Kotkaniemi-Anderson Byron-Evans-Lehkonen On D, Edmundson and Petry are playing great, better than Chiarot-Weber at the moment. I wonder how much it has to do with who they are playing against (best adversary line) and who their playing behind (Danault's line). I would swap the D pairings, to see if they improve the overall results; if that doen;t work in the next 6 games (after the Ottawa games), then I would swap Romanov and Chiarot: Edmundson-Petry Chiarot-Weber Kulak-Romanov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are we changing lines that are working? Toffoli is starting to get chemistry with KK. The Suzuki line has been amazing. These are new players to the team and both are getting chemistry with their linemates and its working. Why would we tinker? If the team is struggling, Julien will turn on the blender, but 10/12 points to start the season and zero regulation losses??? Why make changes on forward?

Prime Minister Koivu Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Yeah don’t mess with the forwards they are perfect. With real cup contention in mind, I think Kulak needs to play with Weber and Chairot with Romanov. Chairot Weber are too slow together and will be a liability in the playoffs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Anderson has cooled down and Toffoli has fought fire; and Toffoli seems to have a better 200 feet game. I think he would fit well with Suzuki. KK needs the physical presence Armia provided. Anderson may be a good fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If cooling down is 2 points in his last 2 games... i really dont know what you expected out of him.

Prime Minister Koivu Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Part of this is how teams are trying to handle us. The Danault line plays the other team’s top line The other team is playing their best shutdown line against Suzuki line That leaves KK line to shine and add in a really strong 4th line and we are scary.

I would normally agree on this, but the Has are giving too many goals against and balancing defense now that we have overshot with our offense may be necessary Calgary is going to be a tough customer and I do not think the Habs should go into those games without adjustments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
