dlbalr Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Lines are from last game. Tatar - Hischier - Zetterlund Haula - Hughes - Bratt Sharangovich - Mercer - Boqvist Wood - McLeod - Bastian Siegenthaler - Hamilton Graves - Marino Smith - Severson Vanecek I'm guessing where Slafkovsky will slot in, these lines aren't official. Caufield - Suzuki - Dach Hoffman - Dvorak - Gallagher Dadonov - Monahan - Anderson Slafkovsky - Evans - Pezzetta Guhle - Savard Edmundson - Xhekaj Harris - Kovacevic Allen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 No Armia or Drouin tonight due to upper-body injuries. Slafkovsky and Pezzetta (I presume though they could go 7 D) will be in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Drouin is perceived as soft by other GM's so he is not likely valued by a team hoping to go on a playoff run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is will he bring a 2nd rounder or a 4th. I don’t see any hope of a Taffoli type of return. Drouin is a dog, who may have a hood playoff with someone, but I don’t see us getting anything higher than a 3rd/4th rounder anymore. Everytime I see Sergechev, I curse MB.

alfredoh2009 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Drouin will either be traded or leave as an UFA, this is his last season as a a Hab. I am hoping Armia nets an interesting return like Lehkonen who was a 4th liner for most of his career in MTL 13 minutes ago, Habs Fan in Edmonton said: My expectations for trading Armia and Drouin were very low to begin with especially with Armia having 2 years left on his contract.

Drouin is soft as Hoffman but without the shot. Can distribute the puck like Wideman but cannot defend in any capacity. He cannot engage physically like Lehkonen did with the Habs.

I agree Armia is here to stay for at least another season. The only way he is tradable is if Montreal retains salary. Only salary they should be retaining is of Drouin, Dadanov and Monahan. All 3 are on expiring deals and the Habs can only retain 3 salaries at a time, so it will make them borderline free cap-wise at the deadline for cap-strapped teams. This should maximize their returns. I will also add I don't think Dadanov is going to be traded as he hasn't shown any value thus far. Drouin is showing very little, but I think some team would take a chance on him on an expiring contract for a bottom-6 role to add a little offense.

Because we already went through the McDonagh fiasco, Sergachev just doesn't hurt me as bad. We would have made multiple finals with Subban/McDonagh on the top pair and Markov on the second. If we kept Sergachev, then Bergy would probably still be around and we wouldn't have this exciting new organizational direction. Besides, I think he's a bit overrated and sheltered playing on a loaded D-corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Devils won 9 in a row, due to lose one. Maybe "powder'(expo)-blue will be lucky colour? The Canadiens will be sporting their Reverse Retro jerseys for the first time tonight. The jersey draws inspiration from the team's success and its city's style in the late 197 https://www.nhl.com/canadiens/news/pregame-devils-canadiens-what-you-need-to-know/c-337554172 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of late, reminds me of Poehling without the faceoff % Armia is untradeable, unless the deal involves an equally bad or worse contract. I never liked Darche. Given salary differences, Darche is starting to look good. i was never a fan of Weise - especially how he was used in offensive situations by MT. Best thing about Weise was that he was part of package that brought Danault. Compared to Armia, Weise IS a Danish Gretzky. I think Milbury will have to become a GM again for us to get anything of value for Armia until the final year of his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Lots of scoring chances and we should be up by two goals. Great saves by both goalies Some tough hits by both teams. Seems to be a bit of a mean game. We need some Suzuki, Caufield, Dach action in the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Not a fashion critic, but dont like the colour, makes me think of Finland/Leafs. Another entertaining period.
