Habs 2025 Offseason

[Krustchev]

There's likely to be some decent players.

True. Ridley Greig was a late first round pick. Players like him are valuable, even if not stars.

Big mobile D. There's a few.

D take too long to develop. I like the big, truculent forward from the OHL. Malcolm Spence.

That's kinda why you draft them every year because the year will come when they're ready.

Yeah signing Bennett to 7x7.5 in a few months would be pure Bergevin.

Instead, you have to think like Zito. Because the time to land Bennett was 4 years ago.
Panthers got Bennett and 6th rounder for Heineman and 2nd rounder
And he got paid 4.4M

Yeah, I know, finding guys before they breakout is hard, but that's why Hughes has the job and we don't.

Hughes tried with Dach (like Bennett an underperforming #4 pick overall)...and he'll keep trying..and hopefully he'll succeed a few times because acquiring undervalued assets is the only way to build a roster that can sustainably compete for the Cup.

Totally agree.

And i think most fans think like this.

You need to « gamble » on the Dach, Strome, Bennett-type players while they are underperforming/undervalued

Why would Boston trade us Geekie?

UFA

 

[Sal_Butera]

Any chance TBay would entertain dealing Cirelli to speed up a retool w picks & prospects, and free up cap space?

Cooper only would agree to a 1yr deal, and new ownership transition has started - Cooper is expected to join his good friend Utah owner Ryan Smith

Cirelli + rights to UFA Perbix for both 1sts + Newhook + Mailloux + Kapanen / Roy?

Might not be a bad stopgap until Hage is ready.

Way too much but I like the two targets.

so do big, truculent forwards

I think Geekie is a product of Pastrnak. Caveat emptor.

Damn right. If he starts in October, he could be a 30/70+ guy.

 

[Habsy]

He needs to revamp his off-season training. Maybe train with Hutson.

The entire team needs to train with/like Hutson.
