Habs News & Notes: 2014 Offseason & Training Camp

[wiseguy1]

People need to realize small is in . Cliff Ronning was a 7th round pick back in the day. I dont think someone with that kind of skill would go in the 7th in today's NHL.

It just seems weird keeping a 19 year old who is an average to good player. NHL teams just don't do that, they keep 19 year olds that are future stars.

Not when you consider his low contract. He can't do worse than Moen who makes $1,850,000

True... but for most teams the risk of not developing a 19 year old properly is not worth the risk.

No one can do worse than Moen. Even Daniel Carr.

At least because of his skills on the defensive side, de la Rose can get ice time.

This kid is a future very good two way player, he's not gonna be an offensive force but he's going to be a very complete player.

I watched him at the WJC and in the exhibition games and one thing is for sure that for a 19 year old his coach can feel very safe putting him out there without your typical 19 year old type mistakes you'll see.

its why he's going to make the team and I reiterated it a while ago....he's 19 but plays like a veteran.

That is what people said about Chipchura.

Any word on his PK skills?

 

[DonKay]

That is what people said about Chipchura.

And Patrice Bergeron

 

[rouah]

Any word on his PK skills?

PK have defensive skills?

 

[Habs53]

PK have defensive skills?

9 Million dollars worth

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

If there is a prejudice against DD it is cause of his size...not his last name.

If his last name really was The Harnest he wouldn't have received a $16 million contract. His last name is the ONLY reason he's even here.

 

[Habs-25]

Please, hope MB gets rid of the Plumber.

LOLL!

Nah. You are both wrong.

 

[sainteflanelle]

All NHL teams must submit their list of 23 players tomorrow. Here's mine for the Habs:

Pacioretty-Desharnais-Parenteau (if not on IL)
Galcheniuk-Plekanec-Gallagher
Bourque-Eller-Cekac
Prust Malhotra Weis (12)

Sub: Bournival Moen (14)

Emelin-Subban
Markov-Gilbert
Beaulieu-Weaver

Sub: Tinordi (7)

Price-Tokarski (2)

Total: (23)

MB might trade Moen at the last minute and replace him by DelaRose on the list of 23.

 

[GGpX]

If DD is only getting the flack he's getting because of his name, how do you explain Travis Moen, who is denigrated at every possible chance by just about everyone?

 

[GGpX]

I don't get why you guys want de la Rose to be the fourteenth forward.

He's not a bluechip prospect and he's 19. He needs to play, not sit in the stands.

 

[GEEMAN]

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

:iagree:

 

[GEEMAN]

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.

no GM in this league would take 51 ahead of 27, 81, and 14 , NO ONE. He cant get the job done when it matters most in the playoffs when the better players show their worth , this marriage will come to and end , 27 is the man moving forward , slowly MB is dumping those that do not belong and his time will come.

 

[GEEMAN]

Max needs to grow up a little. Just saying.

when he gets to work with 27 he will forget who his girl friend is very quickly
