Habs acquire Zack Bolduc for Logan Mailloux

[Habsy]

MM will be better with less ice time

MM will be better with less ice time

This. He will no longer be getting top pair minutes. And once Reinbacher becomes a full time NHLer, Matheson will be a 3rd pair guy.

 

[Habsy]

Armia to LA

Obviously not a big deal but I would have loved to have him for 1m or so.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Taking out the trash.

This trade probably puts the brakes on any possible Matheson trade . . . for now.

I don’t think so. Logan wasn’t making our team. And Matheson is our 3rd best puck mover and our #1 trade chip

Even without him we have Dobson, Hutson, Guhle, Carrier, Reinbacher, Struble/Wifi

No, he’ll be traded at that point. You’re not paying $5-$6 million to a 3rd pairing D.

 

[CH1]

Deadline move for a first and prospect.

No futures pls. We need plug and play talent up front. Desperately.

I’m not sure Bolduc can handle center. Play away from puck is very Dachesque

Yeah i really dont think that's what they're doing. He's a bit of an Heineman replacement IMO. Corridor player with a deadly shot.

 

[AH$$$]

STL fans are saying his defensive and physical games are underrated. Like no issues.

Only question for me is whether he’s a center or a wing for us

Unless MM follows Tavares, Ekblad etc who’ve taken hometown discounts ..

I think Hughes got him to handle C duties

Where does all this leave Laine?

 

[Sal_Butera]

Where does all this leave Laine?

Gonzo when Robertson is acquired

 

[CH1]

Where does all this leave Laine?

On the wing… like his entire career

 

[Krustchev]

On the wing… like his entire career

I know, but which line?

 

[CH1]

I know, but which line?

Laine Bolduc Demi

 

[Krustchev]

Laine Bolduc Demi

So a 3rd line of Newhook-Dach-Andy?

 

[AH$$$]

So a 3rd line of Newhook-Dach-Andy?

Newhook - Dach - Gally

 

[Krustchev]

Newhook - Dach - Gally

Andy plays ahead of Gally.
