Tuch will force his way onto the team at some point in 2nd half of the season IMO
24-25 Habs Preseason
- Thread starter Habsy

If he accepts a modest contract, Armia could be a good winger for Beck on the 4th line. And we know he’s good on the pk.

Tuch is like most prospects: I'll believe it when I see it.

Those roles are going to be reserved exclusively for Anderson and Gallagher.
Here are two: we will still need bottom 6 players and a couple of veterans.

Where do you think they'll be? They both have 3 years left (including this one) on their contracts.

There's no rush to get rid of Anderson &/or Gallagher until, at the very earliest, the 2026-2027 season.
They're not blocking anyone from Laval - by default, unfortunately - from making the team, they're not preventing us from re-signing anyone of note and the team won't be good for at least another one or maybe two years.
If they're able to find someone who will give us their bad contract (hopefully with a higher cap, but less term) in return before the 2026-2027 season, then great. But realistically, they're not going anywhere.

Fichaud agrees with Sal, no Barron in top 6. He is missing the 23rd player though so maybe he has Barron there.

Probably missing the third goalie
sweet
but Sal loves Struble
Yup reset next year when Savard and probably Matheson are gone
Angstrom will need another year
28,71,55 will be gone in the summer

Struble can be sent down without going through waivers, so they have a bit of flexibility. We'll see after training camp, I think Mailloux is a long shot.
Sounds about right.

I think Barron makes the team over Mailloux but he's probably going to struggle staying in the top 6.
If Mailloux makes the team then Struble goes down.
I think Barre-Boulet starts in Laval.

Buy out math is a factor next summer.
Anderson or Gally ?
