Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

Sure, I don't think that's a bad reason at all. I'm just wondering when the decision came. Did it happen as the season ended and it's only come out now, or did he decide recently when most teams have already done their coaching searches?
 
I read it was also the Stamkos signing that played a factor. Montreal didn't want to match and I'm fine with it.
 
Caufield
Suzuki
Slafkovsky
Roy
Demidov
Hage
Beck


🤔
4 of those guys are already there. Dach & Newhook are here too.

Demidov will be here in 15 months.

Hage should probably be here & Beck's a fourth line center.

Even in the best of scenarios, none of those players are getting blocked by Marchessault and there aren't any other realistic players who are in the pipeline that will make the NHL.

The argument that we didn't sign JM to term because he'd be blocking young player is factually inaccurate.

In the best of scenarios in three yearsd:

Caufield-Suzuki-Slaf
Demidov-Dach-Marchessault
Hage-Newhook-Roy
X-Beck-Y

Marchessault's not blocking anyone.
