Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

[GEEMAN]

Monahan's a hell of a player, nobody's ever disputed that.

But... He's injury prone. And not just the odd injury like breaking a finger when blocking a shot. He's gotten multiple hip surgeries and close to 75% of last season due to a foot injury.

I can't, in good conscience, give him term. The probabilities that it'll blow up in our faces are too high.

Trade him by the halfway point this season, try to get a first or an interesting prospect in return.

Exactly , no term

 

[GEEMAN]

If he stays healthy for the year i have no problem signing him to 3 years, maybe 4... as many have said on here, sometimes we have to go for the home run.. a healthy Monahan for 3 years maybe 4 would be a homerun..

Mony is a home run for a contender not the Habs...except in a trade

By the time this team is ready to win he is done

Where did you get a crystal ball? I’m so amazed by your ability to know and speak of the future with such conviction. You sound like a Baptist minister

Struble called up Harvey-Pinard on IR

 

[Sal_Butera]

Gotta admit I’m pretty eager to watch Struble play.

 

[Habsy]

Interesting

 

[lecoqsportif]

Does he clear the front of the net and the slot? Coz right now we have almost no jam, save perhaps Guhle.

 

[Habsy]

Savard does that when healthy

 

[Krustchev]

Gotta admit I’m pretty eager to watch Struble play.

He looks like a linebacker or edge rusher in person. He's huge.

He looks like a linebacker or end rusher in person. He's huge.

While being an elite skater (speed & edge work / lateral mobility)

will he be a rich man or poor man's Harris

What's up with his size listing? 6' 195 lbs. Doesn't sound huge.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Harris was always a better skating Gorges.

Struble is an unknown w tremendous athleticism, if he’s able to calm his play down & not try to force plays that simply aren’t there… there’s a fairly high ceiling potential

Struble is built like a tank , I think he is closer to 215

Not sure about the offensive upside but the size , wheels , and physicality is there to work with

If he can grasp the NHL D IQ , he will be in the top 6 permanently

His upside is way higher than Harris's but his decision-making on the ice is off at times.

I hope the kid makes it as it would show that they can develop players. Struble was a project for sure. Very raw when drafted.
