If Dach is as afraid to get injured as as been implied, he needs a psychologist. I get the PTSD he is suffering from all his injuries, but if he can't get over it, he might as well retire.
I have written off Dach and Slaf may just go nuts in the second half like last yearSlaf had a slightly better game last night but he's worrying me.
Dach is upsetting me.
Strangely I have less issues with Newhook, at least he working hard. But the production is not there. Utility 3rd liner. If he can learn to kill penalties, he could be useful.
Forget the torch just start a flame with a match firstProgression is never linear. Hoping Slaf has a better second half like last year. It takes time for big guys. Play him on first line. His development is key to the rebuild.
Dach isn’t a centre play him on wing put Newhook on second as centre. Still think Newhook tops as third liner.
I can’t help but feel management expected this outcome. The youngsters are nt ready to accept the torch yet.
it would only be incompetent if they were trying to make the playoffs, which they aren't. We are not even halfway through this rebuild. All HuGo have done thus far is turn over the roster and even then, we still have a couple of boat anchors to get rid of before we can get going on building back up. Rebuilds don't happen in 1 or 2 years unless you're in a US market that elite free agents want to play in. When you're a team that is at or near the top of every player's no trade list, it takes longer.we are no better than last year, fire the (in)competent anglo management
Newhook is a faster Evans. Nothing special.Slaf had a slightly better game last night but he's worrying me.

And? We need RHD in the pipeline. Send him to Laval.The Wild sent him to the AHL quickly after acquiring him.
Not at that priceAnd? We need RHD in the pipeline. Send him to Laval.
USA teams dont rebuild overnight from a tear down like usit would only be incompetent if they were trying to make the playoffs, which they aren't. We are not even halfway through this rebuild.

True, but they have that UFA option that the Habs will never have to help accelerate a rebuild.USA teams dont rebuild overnight from a tear down like us
Enjoy the cellarNot at that price

It's illogical to me. There's no silver bullet there's simply increasing your odds. This whole not that player thing is just wow.sad part, is many in the fan base do
That's one guy GW. There are other examples of just not doing anything.I'm all about acquiring players and taking chances on prospects, but Jiricek just seems meh to me. If he was free or very low cost, sure, but he wasn't cheap at all.
Oh I know. I sure hope that we will be aggressive this summer.That's one guy GW. There are other examples of just not doing anything.
Look at how Washington retooled

Not a great pool. Interested in Ekblad though. Weber replacementOh I know. I sure hope that we will be aggressive this summer.
Hugo simply isnt patching like Nero to stay in the dreaded middleIt's illogical to me. There's no silver bullet there's simply increasing your odds. This whole not that player thing is just wow.
I do believe HuGo are tanking on purpose with the lack of moves. If not it's incompetence.
