Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

[GrandWazoo]

These contracts are not a burden because we stink

My only issue is why the fuck we handed them out in the first place

Fair, but they're not really slowing the rebuild. Although we could have traded some of those assets by now if the contracts were more manageable, or traded those assets before those contracts in which case we would likely be further advanced, but maybe not by much.

If executed properly no doubt in my mind the rebuild would be further ahead or at least fewer bodies required right now

PK - wrong trade

Petry, Gally , Price , all missed opportunities

Max - yielded our best forward

Matheson - may have missed the peak trade in the summer

We don’t need more prospects. We need better vets.

We need both.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Habs could surely use a Tkachuk type W for top-6

 

[Krustchev]

We need both.

More vets. We still have Demidov, Hage and Reinbuster coming,

I agree, and 2 first round picks. Also Fowler. But gotta keep the pipeline flowing.

Yeah but you can’t rebuild just through the draft in the NHL.

Oh, you know I'm on the same page as you on this one.

Ugh. I am still mad

Well they had their chance. Stupid drafting.

I also recall many of the Michkov lovers here, saying “stay away from Tkachuk” back then….

I guess Brady didn’t play enough of a pousse caca game..

Mitchkov Brady are terrible bad on their own side of the ice. That 9 to 2 last last night would’ve been a 8 to 5, maybe.

The struggle right now is that most of us can see what’s happening on the ice.

Definitely wanted Hughes.

But I also remember ppl trying to justify McCarron

This team is starved for offense. Defense can be taught. Except to Michkov.

True. But it is important to keep drafting and developing so you can make trades.

Of course the core is often through the draft. Tampa, avs core was drafted while panthers are a nice combo and Vegas just goes for it.

Fla core minus Barkov (huge I know) & Ekblad were all acquired via trade or UFA (Verhaeghe)
