He’s still has a lot of room for improvement, but I’m far more concerned about people like Armia, Kovacevic and Ylonen (who is a dud). Pezzetta doesn’t belong in the league.
Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season
- Thread starter Habsy
- Start date
One more year to go before Habs take out more trash
I wouldn't be too concerned about any of them as none, except for possibly Ylonen, will still be here when the team is ready to compete. The fact that Jake Allen continues to get starts in goal is all I need to know that HuGo don't care at all about winning this year (as they shouldn't). You should look at this season the same way. It'll help you get through it easier.

I don't think any of those four are real NHLers on contending or even middling teams.
Armia's frustrating because he shows flashes that he still has it, but...
Ylonen is basically just a cardio hockey player. Doesn't do much of anything that ever has an impact on the game, but he's good at skating around and taking up time so the top-6 players can get a little bit of rest.

We’ll that kinda the point. The concern is that they are on the roster to begin with - this is my “concern”. Barron, for all his faults, has NHL attributes. He can do stuff and can still be coached up.
The same was true for Armia, but he hasn’t realized his potential and now he’s lumbering lamely to contract expiry or buy out. It’s up to Barron to avoid that fate.

They are all junk and the dumpster truck is a year away or sooner
Even “good” teams have players like Ylonen in their bottom six forward group. He’s also good in shootouts.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
If he got more playing time with better linemates he could surprise. I think he's got better upside than RHP.

He's got no jam to his game and apparently not a favourite with Marty.
So? Like I said, plenty of good teams have bottom 6 forwards like Ylonen.

And he's got a sick shot like few bottom six guys have.

Shouldn't a bottom 6 player have jam to his game? So ideally no.
Not necessarily.

Ylonen just got an assist.
a coach not liking him is not a "so".
It is until they find a better replacement, if they do at all.
are the floundering Iggles going to throw the game against the Jints tomorrow?
Possibly.
Clearly yes.
and all got injured,
where are all the people who said only the Iggles were good in the NFC...
