Habs News & Notes: 2014 Offseason & Training Camp

[hairnova]

I'd rather have Bournival than him in the lineup.

Well yeah, but he's not going to be in the lineup either.

 

[Isaac25]

Desharnais crushed it in ES... in a very bad way.

We'll never win with DD as our top pivot, never!

 

[Isaac25]

Nice that MT didn't get his boy...shows who the boss is.

Source? MT said a couple of times that Bouillon was there to make competition for the kids. His one pre-season games says it all about how "close" he was about making the team.

 

[DonKay]

More like, we need to find a desperate team who would take Moen. He brings nothing anymore. I'd rather have bournival than him in the lineup.

This time of year if there's one thing teams have in abundance its 4rth liners with a lot of teams giving those spots to young guys.

Maybe second half of the season when teams realize that these young guys are not getting the job done that's when you can unload a veteran like Moen

 

[hairnova]

So, looks like we'll go with:

Pacioretty - Desharnais - Parenteau
Galchenyuk - Plekanec - Gallagher
Bourque - Eller - Sekac
Prust - Malhotra - Weise
(Bournival/Moen)

Emelin - Subban
Markov - Gilbert
Beaulieu - Weaver
(Tinordi)

Price
Tokarski

As expected, these are the lines at practice — de la Rose is skating with Bournival and Moen on the fifth line.

 

[DonKay]

If MB could trade Moen DLR makes this team

 

[hairnova]

I'm perfectly fine with de la Rose starting the season in Hamilton.

Man, Bergevin's done a nice job with our depth.

 

[DonKay]

Hamilton has a good amount of talent now, its great to see

Thomas and Andrighetto should be a force

I will definately enjoy going to games more this year than I did last.

John Lu: Bergevin on last roster cut to get to 23: "I haven't told the player yet and I'm still working on something."

Seems there still could be a trade in the works.

One Francis Bouillon gone, one to go (Mike Weaver).

Doubt it . . . they just signed him. Hopefully it's your homie, DD, but probably not.

I highly doubt they trade our best producing centre. True that if his name was David Desharnec, he'd be a more popular player around here.

I want to trade him so that 27 can play sentre (did I spell it correctly this time?), and I would trade 55 before 14 or 81, as would any SENSIBLE hockey fan. Just saying.

 

[hairnova]

They already released 55 today.

Well, lets trade the centre that have chemistry with our best winger instead of getting rid of a flavorless player like Tomas Plekanec...

DLR, Eller and Malhotra can play as defensive centres. So he's your weakest link.

I meant 51. My bad.
