He is a RFA this off season. They can deal with the contract framework in his case.

He doesn’t have much leverage at this point. Maybe a sign and trade?

Kent Johnson for Dach + pick / prospect

I think Johnson would develop strongly under MSL tutelage - then either becomes a valued trade chip or replaces another roster player who becomes that trade chip

Despite playing vs Kucherov a ton,
Demidov/Newhook/Texier is the Canadiens’ only line not to allow a single high-danger scoring chance at five-on-five through two games

Arpon and Basu seems to think that Demidov has been playing well, despite not producing much offense. Facing the other team top line and shutting them down would do this.

Pretty sure sportsnet said during the game he had the most slot passes.

X didn’t see the nice in OT game 2 so not sure what Marty thinks about all this.

With the way overtime went maybe he should have....

But obviously he is playing sheltered mins which helps his play

Arber’s analytics were not as good as the others - taking sheltering into account

I was not paying enough attention to him. Was he playing left or right?

 

[Sal_Butera]

come to think of it, did Matheson play OT? For some reason I don’t recall seeing him on the ice - thought I heard he was hurt

Struble (LD) - Arber (RD)

Gemini says so

Matheson was heavily utilized in the 12:48 extra frame, nearly matching his defensive partner Lane Hutson, who led the team with 6:49 of ice time in that overtime.

6:28 for Matheson
