I wanted Monahan back with the Habs. But never at 5 x 5.5m.....

Hell yeah and a 3rd line of Dvorak, Anderson and Gallagher! Let the good times roll!
A tough guy who at 32 has never played one NHL game?What happens if we have to steal their tough guys.
Chevy is shrewd he'll get everything he can for McGroarty and it'll on his time line.

I’m not upset that we didn’t sign an older player. Let the kids play.

Yeah that's not progressing that's for sure. Hopefully the youngsters can start breaking out a bit.
I would tend to agree but his patience has been rewarded in situations like this in the past

So we don't do anything? Lomberg at 2x2, Lafferty, etc... Come on. Still the same shitty ass bottom 6.
I’m not sure why you’re surprised by this, Hughes is not going to panic and sign a bunch of players and block his prospects from filling spots.
Next year is going to be the final tank year, and it always was going to be.

All I know is Dach will be there. Pretty damn good 2nd center. And it’s guaranteed that KH will trade for someone like Laine
Then let the youngish fight it out on defense
I’m excited to see what guys like Hutson can bring. There is no way he starts in Laval.

Plus if we signed someone, it would still be the exact same bottom 6.
Every year the make up of the team has to change...hopefully the youngsters force their way into the line up.

Panic? How long are we going to f***ing rebuild? The Sharks and Hawks have both added talent to their rosters. Surrounding their franchise players, what are we doing? Going for Hagens again? Suzukis about to be 30 years old and we won't start competing lol.

The smart money had us continuing with our evaluation and that requires kids playing in roles that may even be above their station.
It's the support element of the process that needed to be addressed. We all knew it could be challenge given our contracts situation.
If we get help it was always more likely to come from a trade IMO.
Not surprised just frustrated a bit for having seen this once great franchise pick top 5 for three straight years. I do believe Hughes and Gorton have a plan.
The mental fortitude of this guy is insane. I would have retire after playing so many playoff game and losing so many time in the final. His body is full of scar and injury. A true warrior. I loved him with the Habs.
Wish him good luck for next year.

That's why they need to trade players...or waive them.

He shouldn't have any issue in moving McGro. But dicking around could cause damage elsewhere for Winterpeg, they already struggle in talent retention, they don't need a classless rep on top of that.
This team is still handcuffed by crap contracts and will be until names like Gallagher, Anderson, Dvorak and Armia are out the door.

Well our bottom six includes Anderson, the skating corpse of Gallagher (god rest his departed soul), and Dvorak. There's no room for additions when we're shelling out that much money.
Our competitive window opens when those dead weight contracts conclude.
