alfredoh2009 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 when does the forum you think the Habs may unload a couple of the extra wingers? MB has a philosophy of giving the players a chance to play if not her somewhere else. He was a players-gm in that way. I do not know what Hugh-Gort believes, it seem she likes hoarding which is needed right now to up the quality of the pipeline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see what he adds at this point to be honest. And who do you waive to make the room? Assuming Slafkovsky is the eventual casualty when Armia returns, then waiving Pezzetta is all that would technically need to be done to fit in Bellows or another forward. I'm not advocating for a claim but there's a way to make it happen if they wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trade deadline is in March so I'll say March for when the surplus might get offloaded. It's one thing to try to be nice to a player to try to find them a home but with so many teams right against the cap, there aren't a lot of teams that can afford to take on a change of scenery type of player. And for those that can, do they want to take on a high-priced winger this early in the season? Probably not. (I'm assuming you're asking about players like Hoffman, Dadonov, and Drouin.)

Young-ish players that are far behind on the depth chart and that do not seem to be in their future Okay. Ylonen won't be until the trade deadline at the earliest as he's still one of the top recall options and it stands to reason that they'll want to get another look at him at some point. Plus, they'd like to win some games in Laval and he's one of their only offensive-minded forwards. With Pezzetta, I don't know if that's going to be a trade as I don't think he has much value. He's a 13th forward or lower for a lot of teams so why would they trade for him? He has more value after clearing waivers than he does now; it's just a matter of whether or not he'd clear in the first place. I think Teasdale is probably the next one they'd like to move but that's going to be like Hillis, getting a minor leaguer back. I don't sense that there's a winger logjam on the prospect side as most of Laval's wingers are journeymen or prospects that aren't going to make it. Beyond Ylonen and Harvey-Pinard (who they're not going to move and keeping him in Laval doesn't hurt), there's not a whole lot there. Most of the good winger prospects are elsewhere this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Thanks, @dlbalr. I took a look at different sites that list the Habs depth chart.

hab29RETIRED Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 On 10/26/2022 at 11:04 AM, Commandant said: Ironman is playing consecutive games without being injured. He fits the criteria and has been a far better player at this end of his streak than either Yandle or Jarvis were. When Jarvis streak ended, he wasn't an NHL player anymore. He would soon find himself out of the league. Same with Yandle. Their streaks kinda went on cause they were forced to, when coaches wanted to make them healthy scratches. At least Kessel is still producing. Agree with everything you’ve said. In my mind when I see the term Ironman, I think of a someone who looks like they are actually going to compete in the Hawaii Ironman competition, and not in a hot dog eating competition. All jokes aside, the habs could have used a guy like him. I was very happy the leafs, paid part of his salary when he won his cups with the penguins. I also though he should have gotten the Conn smythe over Crosby one of those years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next on the recall list after Harvey-Pinard and Ylonen will be Stephens, Richard, and Belzile (not necessarily in that order). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries really detailed Teasdale. He was so much fun to watch during his Memorial cup run. Thought he'd be an awesome 4th liner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Canucks win!! Canucks win!!

It’s got to be calculated why you’re taking this risk right now. It’s not necessarily risks … but I think every player should have a little calculated risk and I think Jordan’s managing that right now. With him and Guhls, they’re able to support the offence but also get back pretty quick if it doesn’t work out.” Guhls eh, right up there with Suzy?

I think there is a strong chance that Mathews leaves for Arizona in 1.75 seasons. The Leafs should genuinely go all in and burn picks and prospects to win now. If not then the leafs should trade Mathews IMO and take the haul to retool. If the losing streak grows long then I bet leafs fire Keefe and when that doesn’t help then Dubas gets canned too.

PLAYOFFS Prove this NO POWERPLAY NO PARTY Yeah the leafs are a hollow team with all their eggs in five players. Riely is a legit Dman but that’s it, especially with Muzzin hurt (he is like Savard so useful). To win the cup IMO the leafs need a #1 Dman with outstanding puck moving skills, a better winger to play with Mathews and a big, fast centre for their third line. It would cost them everything; picks, prospects and leave the cupboards bare but I think they could make it happen. Can’t think of that kind of Dman off the top of my head but Monahan and Dubois would help the leafs a lot and surely both are available. Dubois knows that he is likely to not receive a contract offer if leafs bail first round again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
