Habs Season Thread: Offseason 2025

Exactly. Better that they play meaningful games in Laval than eat hotdogs in the Bell Centre press box.

 

[Habsy]

Pretty good hot dogs though

AHL is meaningful?

AHL is meaningful?

If you're playing in it.

 

[Habsy]

The experience has some value. Pressure games.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Especially when you are trying to establish yourself as a player. You need to show what you can do in meaningful games. The Rocket are a top team and are competing for a championship. The Habs arent playing any meaningful games until next season at the earliest.

I have no “proof” obviously but I’m guessing something is up with Laine again off the ice, unfortunately. I know he’s not a good even strength player but this really is beyond a normal slump, IMO, as is the team’s reaction to it.

I think he is what he is , a streaky gunslinger

Many players have that new team bump early on and that PP success was unsustainable

why do people laugh if you have a gaming addiction but go awww if you are an alchie or druggy

Because gaming isn't an addiction that grown ass men should have. A 26 year old millionaire professional athlete should be spending his off ice hours in the VIP section of Chez Paree with his teammates, not cooped up in his condo playing fucking video games and watching comic book superhero movies like a 12 year old.

And, incidentally, not all of us go "awwwe" when a player reveals an addiction to drugs and booze because some of us resent that kind of stupidity in a pro athlete who has literally been given everything on a silver platter. But at least drugs and alcohol are adult pastimes. I've zero sympathy for man-children. Grow the fuck up and put away childish things.

So who is getting traded ?
I think Dvorak survives because his value is the lowest and we need bodies to finish the season.

 

[lecoqsportif]

I’ve even heard it said Dvorak could/should be the-upped due to chasm with Evans.

Stop listening then.

Just get rid of both.

 

[Krustchev]

No cap space should be devoted to Dvorak. He serves no purpose on a team like this. He has one skill: faceoffs.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

And he's only "good" at faceoffs compared to his teammates, who are objectively awful at them. It's not like he's an elite faceoff guy or anything, just competent.

We need another bottom 6 center with some “jam” to his game, to go along with Beck. Dvo’s game has no jam at all.

 

[hairnova]

I want Dvo gone, but he's taken 699 faceoffs this season... using that as the cutoff, he's tied for sixth in the league at 57.2%.
