Habs sign Matheson to five-year, $30M extension

[GEEMAN]

I don't expect Guhle ever to be healthy. Nor Dach. Can't see keeping them around, but they wouldn't fetch much. Others see what we see. Either way, they can't be considered part of the future. Reinbacher I'm hoping might still overcome the curse, but its not looking good.

Dach is worth shit , Guhle will fetch a good haul

They're not trading Guhle any time soon

 

[Krustchev]

Guhle gonzo.

Don't think so. He can play both sides . . . but better on the left side.

Shocked at this deal. Good on Matheson and Hughes. Thought for sure he'd cash in.

Though we don't have an elite dman we have 3 number 1 D

 

[Rolex]

Amazing deal....never in doubt.....love the signing

Matheson can play well into his late 30's with his style of play

Lane Hutson is an elite d-man in the way hockey is played today.

Lane Hutson is an elite d-man in the way hockey is played today.

Lane and Dobson are both either elite or VERY close to it. Both definitely have the potential to be elite.

Some people are just injury prone. See: Reinbacher.

Others rarely get injured: see Suzuki

So was some guy named Chris Chelios, and the org traded him because his knees were gone.. only played some 12 more years

You mean 18+ more years.

He played with no acl. Greeks are messed up.

 

[Alan C]

One of my faves. I was so pissed off when we traded him.

If he shows his stuff on the PK then he moves to that.

 

[Alan C]

He was nuts already in Chicago at this point but here is classic Chelios he loved the microphone.

All depends on what you refer by elite. But agreed.

If Guhle could stay healthy we'd be set for a decade

 

[Krustchev]

If he shows his stuff on the PK then he moves to that.

You might be asking for a little too much.

 

[Krustchev]

One of my faves. I was so pissed off when we traded him.

Come on, Denis Savard was an elite water boy during out last successful Cup run.

 

[worm]

You mean 18+ more years.

Pretty sure he is still playing

Yes. Elite is not easy to reach.

 

[Krustchev]

Yes. Elite is not easy to reach.

Was Paul Coffey elite? I think so.

If hutson scores 120 plus points and wins three Norris trophies....


Love hutson and if you want to change what I said to Norris nominee instead of elite to avoid confusion. Fine.

The PK comment was because last game he looked pretty good when killing. If he adds that to his game then I think he is looking at the Norris if makar slips up.

The main point was the Habs have 3 number 1 Dmen. Can't think if another team that has that.
