Habs 2026 Playoff thread

[GEEMAN]

Hence, my point that the scorers are not scoring and that we need more scorers.

what if our acquired scorers dont score as well

 

[GEEMAN]

Malkin for one year UFA

While Hage develops

1 year at 4ish is ok but can he keep up to the pace of play

 

[GEEMAN]

What, Jake Evans doesn't do it for you?

might as well try Kap

 

[CH1]

Geno was great this past yr

Doubt he returns at Pitt

That would be good, I just can't see him playing for a different NHL team.

Yeah, I mentioned that before but wonder just how much he has in the tank and how often he will be injured.

I think HuGo will go with a younger option at 2C...and if they cannot find one, they might just run it back with the players we already have.

I'm surprised Dach hasn't been tried between Slaf and Demi. They probably tried it at some point and it wasn't conclusive enough for MSL

hell, no

 

[Rolex]

hell, no

if other teams don't want to give us Thomas, MacTavish, Knies (yes he's a winger, but it's Sal's theory).....then what can HuGo do ?

Overpay ? Sure, it think we'll get to that point

HuGo is gonna do their job. Nothing more. Nothing less.

 

[Krustchev]

hell, no

Yeah, there's about zero chance of that.

There’s no downside to trying Malkin for a year. We have the cap space and I would rather do that than give up assets for a meh transaction. I’m all for Hughes going for gold but if he can’t bring in a solid option, I’d rather just spend the $4-5m for Malkin.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Yeah, there's about zero chance of that.

It's definitely higher than zero. He's going to try, but nothing might work out.

Hugo isnt overpaying

 

[Alan C]

Malkin for one year UFA

Kapanen is already better than the current Malkin.

 

[AH$$$]

But only so much defense the other team can throw out there

 

[AH$$$]

Ahsss, we've only given up 19

We only scored 18 tho.

 

[Krustchev]

Okzy, 1% then. HuGo have made siginificant trades evey off-season of their reign so far. That will continue this one as well.

 

[GEEMAN]

Like I said nobody knows anything , you produce or you dont regardless of how many goal scorers you have

Hall , Stank and Blake are producing at 80- 100 point paces but are 40-50 point players
