Weird, JBB is having a great offseason imo

I’m not saying we should’ve done it, but they had to ice some wingers for Celebrini and Smith, they have NO ONE11M for Toffoli & Wennberg though?

Again, no player does. There is no such thing as protecting teammates, the teams with goons take the same bumps as teams with none. Think about it, how exactly do you protect a teammate by fighting AFTER some incident has occurred? Having Reeves, Deslaurier on the bench for 95% of the game doesn't intimidate anyone.I am saying he does nothing to protect teammates any more. Xhekaj and Pezzetta do.
Don’t think Habs are finish, can’t believe they won’t add at least 1 player
Yes by tradeLooking at trades more than UFA. Probably got his hands in on a number of potential deals.
This. Also they would enter the season with the 2nd or 3rd most cap space available in the league. I can't believe this could happen.Don’t think Habs are finish, can’t believe they won’t add at least 1 player
There are other ways to retaliate. Hammer other teams best players, run the goaltender etc. There are players that other teams are afraid of like Rempe. Xhekaj does some of that. Anderson does not.Again, no player does. There is no such thing as protecting teammates, the teams with goons take the same bumps as teams with none.

Protecting teammates hasn't been a thing for decades, modern game has moved on. Most players in the league will pass on scambling their brain to "protect" their mates.
it isn't the 80s, and that isn't a thing anymore.There are other ways to retaliate. Hammer other teams best players, run the goaltender etc. There are players that other teams are afraid of like Rempe. Xhekaj does some of that. Anderson does not.
It's going to happenI knew we weren’t going to sign anyone, but I honestly expected a trade for one of Necas, Zegras, or McGroarty.
We had the picks, prospects and cap space to make it happen.
I’d be shocked if we still manage to pull it off
As for next year. Im not concerned with making the playoffs - I fully expected the rebuild to be at least 3-4 years minimum.. I just want top end drafting and player development to finally take shape after years of ineptitude and it’s slowly but surely happening.
My bigger concern for next year is overall team toughness. size and physicality
We still have too many smurfs ( and inexplicably added another one today) and the ones that do have size are either soft as butter, chicken shit or injury prone.
My fear is that we are gonna get crushed on too many nights.
A player that I would be interested on a short term deal is Janmark you would add speed to the bottom of the lineup and he is a great penalty killer. With his playoffs though I think that someone may offer him a long term deal.
Ridiculous. There are teams that will jump players after a clean hit. Habs need more guys who will do that.it isn't the 80s, an that isn't a thing anymore.
the only retaliation that happens is that at the start of the next game between the two teams, there will be a meaningless fight.
Yeah, I'd take Janmark. I'd go as high as $3.75m x 2 considering the cap space we have. He's a Byron type.
He probably gets $3m x 4, though.
no they don't. the NHL needs to get rid of that shit.Ridiculous. There are teams that will jump players after a clean hit. Habs need more guys who will do that.

I still think they want to add something that the core guys can appreciate as another step in the right direction.Don’t think Habs are finish, can’t believe they won’t add at least 1 player
There is a trade out there.............no doubt in my mind.Don’t think Habs are finish, can’t believe they won’t add at least 1 player
He caught some fire later on season and playoffsYeah, I'd take Janmark. I'd go as high as $3.75m x 2 considering the cap space we have. He's a Byron type.
