Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

I have no issue with Armia in Laval but we would have 3 million dead cap money if we do

It’s dead money regardless of where he plays.

fair

I'd rather have Armia stay in Montreal.

There's no benefit of sending him to Laval. If he's in Laval, he's going to play minutes, which is going to mean Roy/Kidney/Mysak/Davidson/etc are going to play less.

Honestly I don’t quite understand why we just don’t send Armia to Laval. Are we afraid to hurt his feelings? Fuck him.
Not a fan of Ylonen either but Heineman didn’t have a good camp and could use more games in Laval.

Norlinder is just to reward him for being the best surprise of the camp, plus we could really use him on the PP.

Want him taking TOI away from Roy, Farrell, Mesar etc?

Relax: Canadiens' Slafkovsky Still Has Time to Become an Impact NHL Player

I agree. Send him to Trois-Rivieres.

No, I don't want him anywhere near the pro or farm team. I don't want him to play at all.

There is still a remote chance that he finds back his confidence and scoring touch. Not necessarily a bad thing for the young guys to play with a NHL vet.

With Armia, the hope is like you say: He gets his confidence back, plays hard, and hopefully someone would be willing to bite on him.

If it's another bad season, he'll be bought out next summer.

imagine Cole's desire in Armia's body?

 

[Stinky]

With Armia you hope SOMEONE claims him.

With Armia you hope he gets Covid for the 4th time plus any other mysterious injuries that the Habs have been good at inventing lately.

You get Slafkovsky

Nice article showing why Marty is such a good coach. https://theathletic.com/4940524/202...y-martin-st-louis/?source=user_shared_article

 

[GrandWazoo]

Alright, preseason is over, given what I've seen so far this would be my opening lineup.

Caufield-Suzuki-RHP
Monahan-Dach-Slaf
Ylonen-Newhook-Anderson
Pearson-Evans-Gallagher
Pezzetta

Matheson-Savard
Guhle-Kovacevic
Xhekaj-Norlinder
Lindstrom

All 3 goalies

Also fuck Armia. I'd rather keep Ylonen and Pezzetta. All 3 are waivers eligible, nobody would pick up Armia.

Harris needs a moment of reflection in Laval and Norlinder won a spot against all odds. You have to reward merits at times.

No f*ckin around…

Good

 

[GrandWazoo]

I guess I'll replace Lindstrom with Harris in my lineup then

 

[GrandWazoo]

God I’m so happy this organization has the balls to not play contracts. I guess I willed Armia out of the team
