Habs Season Thread: Offseason 2025

And to throw in Desjardins was insult to injury.

I was fuming when he got moved , a unicorn back in the day

But we got Dr. Recchi in return!

 

[Habsy]

they are both strong on their skates.. i am not sure i would agree on this..

You can be strong on your skates asking the boards and not he a great skater. To me that's Slaf. He needs to work on many things.

Him I never liked that much, although I liked him better than Brisebois, who was a brain-dead moron. But the trade was not a good one. Gave up too much for too little in return, even though Recchi was a good player.

Slafkovsky does not skate as well as Leclair. I was pissed when they traded Leclair.

I'll be patient with him sure, my point was that drafting Cooley would not have been a mistake though.

Leclair was 25 when we traded him, but otherwise similar first seasons, although with less offense than Slaf. I think skating was very similar, lots of things actually.

Leclair was the throw-in. Desjardins was the key piece.

He started at 20 iirc

Eric Desjardins was an excellent player. What on earth didn’t you like about him?

He joined us at the end of his 4 years college for 10 games at the age of 21. His first full season with us he was 22.

Soff

I have no time for defemsemen with the size of Desjardins who push and shove but don't hit. Desjardins and Brisebois were big pussies.

My memory of him is the ot playoff goal in 93.

The one good game he played.

 

[Habsy]

He was a quality defender. You're out to lunch on this one.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

There wasn't a player in the league who was afraid of him.

 

[GrandWazoo]

There wasn't a player in the league who was afraid of him.

There also wasn’t a player in the league that didn’t respect him. He was a top pairing guy, sound defensively, contribute offensively, leadership, played hard. He just didn’t need to be a fearsome hitter, he was doing it by positioning, good stick, leverage and skating.

His own team stripped him of the C but okay.

Lindros was stripped. Desjardins gave it up.

 

[Krustchev]

One of the best Flyers ever.
