Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 4 minutes ago, DON said: Are you talking Bedard? What number is he taking with the Habs, i assume #98 is still available or will be if needed. He can have any number he wants. Except for 4 and maybe 9 and maybe 2 and ........

alfredoh2009 Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 What an underwhelming result on a lost transition season. CHI went all in and was rewarded. If the Habs were picking top-3 I would be ok with the result, but as is I am certainly disappointed especially with the lack of development playing time by the top prospects due to overuse weardown leading to injuries Time to turn the page and set eyes in the draft, UFAs and training camp Go Habs! Go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go! We finished 5th last and got the 5th overall pick. Far from “disappointing,” that seems an eminently sensible outcome. I agree with you on the overuse/injuries point, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO there are not any UFAs worth any serious investment for the rebuilding Habs ... draft, trades and TC for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think there’s no question that players were allowed to play when they probably shouldn’t have and that made their injuries worse (Monohan, Caufield, Guhle, Slafkovsky). I also think playing a guy like Slafkovsky in the NHL when needs to learn the North American game, as well as playing in a more physical league was a mistake and contributed to his injuries.

alfredoh2009 Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 Some players were playing hurt to cash-in some bonuses. that was disappointing but expected some players were overused (Savard, etc) which was weird in a lost/transition season the end-result was “meh” at most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Its okay guys... remember everything that Bergevin and Ducharme did was right, and everything that HuGo and St. Louis does is wrong. That's just all he ever spews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
