Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

lecoqsportif said:
PLD is 3 years younger than Horvat, which is a considerable difference at this point of his career in terms of contract term risk.

He turns 25 this year, so his next long-term contract will get at least 4-5 years of his best years of his career.

If management wants to be “competitive in three years”, then he seems to be lined up with that window.

Get your DuBois type after your team is legit and ready to contend

If this team stinks after next year no point throwing big money on " we hope to contend one day "

you really forget the business side of things and the competitive nature of GMs and coaches.

The Habs are a license to print money win or lose. They don't have business side things to consider. The fans will accept and pay top dollar for whatever ownership and management deign to offer them. There's a waiting list for season tickets, for luxury suites, for rink board advertising, for pretty much everything. They don't have to make hasty roster decisions in order to chase after dollars. The dollars come to them.

So fuck the fans.

Point being, we have bigger needs than a PLD type player at this point in time. He’s not an elite talent, but he’s a very good player, even if a tad self-entitled.

You know, in life, it's usually gray. Very very few things are as black and white as you seem to think.

Its not "fuck the fans", it's trying to win under stringent parameters and fiscal constraints while making your investors money. This is big business not Thursday night beer league.

I know that and you know that but to Count, all of what you just wrote is a euphemism for "fuck the fans". He'd rather squeak into 8th place and be annihilated in the first round than go through a few years of bottom feeding in order to build a team that can do more than merely give him something to watch on a Saturday night. He thinks that getting a welfare point somehow means you didn't actually lose the game, even though that is precisely what happened.

If Count's client was a nhl team owner then yes, he would advise that. It's business.

I would too

It works really well when they fuck it all up most of the time because we need to compete

Ask the Flyers how " We need playoff revenue is working "

You can be competitive and try all you want your reboot is coming when you make dumb mistakes

The business side gets more revenue when your a great team

Retaining Price or Gally because , " they are needed and our heart and soul players" doesnt add a nickel to the business of the Habs

Hugo is doing an A job so far , at some point the Habs will be a solid team , dont fuck it up forcing the rebuild
