Dobes certainly doesn’t sound like a serious candidate. I think Dobes would be serviceable if needed for a short stint as an NHL backup. But how much do you want your young goalie to just be sitting on the bench as a recall to cover for injury? It's much more ideal to have a Louis Domingue-type option (he's signed with the Rangers for next year already, just giving an example) that can play once every five or six games if need be while allowing Dobes to get the bulk of the workload in Laval.

DON Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Hard not to like Harris's off-ice persona, could use more young adults like him. https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2024/06/02/jordan-harris-bon-sur-la-glace-encore-meilleur-dans-la-vie "Last winter, Jordan went to a school in the English Montreal School Board," he says. "Three hundred students were queuing to ask for his autograph and pose with him. It was 11 a.m. I told Jordan that he didn't have to stay there to satisfy everyone. But he did. It continued until 2 p.m. Not only did he meet the requests of the young people, but he also took the time to talk to them." Jean Béliveau and Guy Lafleur were proud to make them proud, as they always gave satisfaction to their fans. As it was for them, it's normal for Harris to interact with the fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, he is not as strong on his skates other smallish Ds were, like Francis Bouillon (for example). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris is much better at this and that is becoming more and more important in the game today. A player like Bouillion who had trouble making a breakout pass and was always off the boards and out of the zone, wouldn't make the league today, not when you add in the lack of size.

(For Bouillon) but Cube was pretty good too. When Harris first came up, I thought his smarts might elevate him into a long career, and that might yet happen, but he seems too limited to be much more than a bottom-pairing puck-mover.

Personally, I think the scores have a bit too much personal bias. But then I didn't write the article. And I did still enjoy reading it. Frankly, I don't think I'm going to bother reading anymore of the player ranking articles. This was better than the Dmen/goalie one from last month. But for the most part, the rankings and methodology doesn't make sense and there is no consistency in applying the rankings. I Agree on a newhook. Hell, I'm not sure how Evans gets the same ratings as Gallagher, when you considersalary, expectations, role, and ice time. Caufield made huge strides in his overall game, but a "9"??? Really??? So we factor in Caufield's shoulder injury, but not Newhook? Shouldn't we also consider linemates that Newhook had? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hab29RETIRED Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 1 hour ago, DON said: Newhook 166minutes PP time; 3.02/gm Gallagher 117minutes PP time, 1.32/gm For the first 75% of the season, being on the PP was probably detrimental to the stats. Let's face it, until Slafkovsky got paired with Suzuki and they got some chemistry going, our PP sucked. Still needs a lot of work, so I wouldn't consider anyone having an advantage on getting not PP time on a PP that clearly did not work. Yeah, part of that is on the players, but a lot of is on the plan and system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well…you can still learn things of value, even so. E.g., those “behind the scenes” videos of the draft lent some insight into the Habs’ process, the personalities and relationships involved, and the collective decision to go with “safe” Reinbacher as opposed to Michkov. And wasn’t the infamous footage of Therrien berating Subban also something the Habs had agreed to release? I’m not saying I’ll watch it religiously either, but I wouldn’t rule out some useful bits being extracted from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Assessing The Depth: Right Defencemen – HabsWorld.net " If they’re going to deploy Mailloux and Reinbacher (not to mention having Adam Engstrom and probably one of Lane Hutson or Jayden Struble), they will want to get a key veteran right-shot option that can make an impact. They also should add two or three depth options on AHL contracts so there’s some work that needs to be done." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
