Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

I'm good with solid steady play

I expect more at the top of the draft but I'll take that at this point

 

[Habsy]

Many teams have top five busts. Happens every year. Need to temper expectations.

Definitely. Karl alzner, kk, Dach, etc but we need some homeruns at the top.

Just need a home run pick anywhere in the draft - Hutson is one and Hage looks to be on a positive trend towards one

 

[Habsy]

Need a physical second line center that can score 75 pts.

To put into perspective the putrid drafting record of top-6 F post 1972 - Richer is the only player drafted by the org thereafter (1984) to appear on the list…

[Krustchev]

I think he made a positive impression this time.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

I think he was sent down because waivers are not an issue. He certainly isn't a liability on the blue line. I already trust him more than Barron.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Surprised they didn’t sent Arber down.

Some games will require him to keep the opponent in line.

They can’t totally destroy what little confidence is left - org will need to live with the consequences of working with him to get over the hump or make a final decision to deal him to greener pastures.

Waivers, no?

 

[hairnova]

Nope.

I get it but his window of being waiver exempt is expiring really soon. We can't allow a liability on defense just for an enforcer role.

The NHL is not a development league.

Lebrun saying that a Habs trade could be imminent.
