Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

Get him the hell outta here. Ultra bad leader beans.

Sign Gurianov for 2.5 (he ain’t getting qualified) and you come out ahead on cap. If not him, then someone else at that cap hit.

Why? Habs don’t need his cap space and he’s more productive lately — if he keeps it up he might be a somewhat useful trade chip down the line (ie 10 months)

Addition by subtraction.

Rather have him count against the cap while being absent instead of having him here. Free up a roster spot for someone more deserving.

I’d keep both but Hoffman is a better deadline chip than Gurianov

Yeah, unless they plan to compete next season and need that space... why take cap hit in 25-26?
 
I’d rather them take their time and get a solid core of unreal talent and compete consistently for years and years then rush to spend and put together some meh team and barely make or compete in playoffs every year with terrible contracts. We’ve done the latter for far too long

Team is fully entrenched in a full rebuild , they have no choice to do it right and whatever time it takes

2/3 of this roster has no future

Cap hit would be until 24-25.

I can see the argument both ways, take the hit next year, maybe flip him at the deadline and have a clean slate in 24-25 or find a better use for the 3.3M next year, maybe get an asset for another bad contract like Monahan and absorb the 1.6M hit in 24-25. Really depends on how much value Hughes can squeeze out of that extra cap space.

Why would they? The Habs' front office and successive ownership groups have spent the better part of 25 years lowering the bar so that our fans would eventually be as brainless with their money as Leafs fans have been for a century. Now is when the systematic lowering of standards is going to pay off for Molson. Where do you think the "It's not a 6 team league anymore" narrative originated from? The franchise may not have produced any championships or elite players over the last quarter century but the one thing it knows how to proliferate are excuses for mediocrity.
