Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

the easiest positions to fill!!!!!

Hughes' job is hard,,,

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

yep...any time you draft someone top 5, you really can't afford to miss (otherwise you'll keep drafting top 5 for ages)

isn't that what the innanet wants, your teams to keep losing and stack up assets so you can claim you have the best prospect pool?

Luckily demigod will save us

Nah. We want the glaring issues to be addressed
Usually that is through the draft. And so far Hughes is 0 for 3 when trying to address it outside of that (Barron, Dach, newhook).

In a few years

Cole Suzuki Slaf
Demi xxxxx yyyyyy

Yyyyy.. Maybe Laine? Maybe Dach... Maybe something else internal... Maybe a trade

Bottom 6 I think we have lots of options so I'm not worries

Hutson DR?
Guhle bbbbbb
Wifi/Engstrom LM

Really need Reinbacher to pan out

xxxxxx = Hage

 

[worm]

xxxxxx = Hage

Maybe. I'd feel better if we didn't have all the eggs in that one basket.

Keep in mind that his numbers are good not great. Hutson outscored him for example

 

[CH1]

I'm very keen on Hage but he's the type of guy I would part in a package to get a young, established centre

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

We really have two weaknesses
RD and 2C

Reinbacher will solve the RD weakness.

We will need to trade in order to solve the weakness at 2C.

Reinbacher will solve the RD weakness.

We will need to trade in order to solve the weakness at 2C.

Unless he can play 60 mins a night I doubt it

and drive him to depression for trading him from his dead dad's favourite team? damn you be cold

100%

I agree with him. But only for the right guy.

 

[CH1]

Damn. I hadn’t thought of that.

These players are commodities. They don't exist as human beings. And as soon as you start humanizing them you make decisions based on emotions instead of cold, hard reason. Hage is a great asset for the Habs...unless or until someone better comes along. Then he is disposable. Expendable.

This post doesn't mesh well with you post on the lack of use on Demidov

I want Demidov here. He's our asset. He should be here, not in Chelyabinsk.

 

[lecoqsportif]

In a few years? Maybe someone like Carter Bear.

 

[Habsy]

he can play wing then, makes no difference to me, centre, wing, whatever

That's where he should be, on the wing.

Hage will be ready by then

 

[hairnova]

Based solely on xGF, Suzuki and Dach play better together (400+ minutes in 2022-23, 100+ minutes this season) than apart.

Demidov - xxx - Slaf
Cole - Suzuki - Dach
