HF Habs: 2023 Roster, Schedule & Standings Thread

So the interesting cuts wil be the next one when a few injured players come back

Yes sir.

When Eddy is back we have

Matheson - Wideman
Guhle - Savard
Edmunson - Kovacekic/Harris

I think Xhekaj goes down because Harris can play both sides.

 

[Perratrooper]

My apologies if this is the wrong thread, but what is the long term outlook of Anderson on the Habs? Is there any stomach to trade him with retention of $1-2m or does the length of his contract scare fans from moving him? If so what would the expected return be?

To me he somewhat sticks out as a player that might provide some level of protection for the young stars, but is nearing the end of his prime (if he hasn’t already past it).

Thanks in advance and I hope to see many of your young stars and prospects thrive and take large steps forward this coming season!

New day, new lines.

Where is Drouin?

 

[EveryDay]

Where's Drouin!!!!!

We can't secure Bedard without him

[HomaridII]

Dadonov on the 4th line .. ewwww.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Drouin pounding sand with Pezzetta.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Having 3 rookie Ds on your season opener lineup would be so wrong. Ideally one if them should be a regular and I think that would be Guhle. Disappointed that Hughes had all summer to address this but didn’t. Yes he couldn’t predict injuries but this was bound to happen specially with Edmundson’s injuries history.

Drouin pounding sand with Pezzetta.

His goal this season was to stay healthy, so being in the press box should fit his aspirations.

They had him rotating in on the Dach line which is scary.

Dach's development will be mega hindered if he has to drag around Hoffman AND Drouin. I'd retire.

In fact, it might be 4 rookies if Matheson can't go.

Ghule-Savard
Harris-Wideman
Xhekaj-Kovacevic

Lines and defense pairings at practice - Oct. 10 | Montréal Canadiens

Nick Suzuki, Mike Hoffman and Christian Dvorak were back at practice

I would be surprise if they don’t claim a Dmen with those pairing

I like the Dach - Monahan duo though.

It was the thing to do fore sure

 

[WeThreeKings]

I like the Dach - Monahan duo though.

Yeah looks like Drouin was rotating with Hoffman, not Monahan.

Monahan is the face-off contingency for Dach and can be a trigger man.

0 idea what the pairings will be now that they have Guhle on the right instead of with Savard.

I don't see a legitimate vet on waivers to grab outside of Rielly who makes too much money imo

Put Monahan on the left so Dach can give him the puck in zone entry and not to Hoffman

Yeah flames fans always complain he isn't a real center, and all he does is park himself in scoring position and score off of Gaudreau's work. Well if he can pot over 20 that way playing with Dach, and taking draws when needed, that's perfect.

Someone like Mahura who can be jersey holder and cost nothing (750K). We don't even have a #7 Dmen from what I see

 

[MarioLeMoose]

Where's Drouin!!!!!

We can't secure Bedard without him

He called in sick

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

So essentially Xhekaj, Harris, Guhle and Slafkovsky have made the team for now?

 

[JC Superstar]

The Habs cap overdraft matches almost to the dollar Price and Byron on LTIR.

 

[morhilane]

With Armia out for a week or two, the Habs have that long to trade/waive a forward unless they send Slaf down or another forwards gets injured.

I'm surprised they didn't take a chance on valimaki
