what's the lineup then?None. No spots available.
You drank the cool aid.I am going against all odds and betting on Mesar.
I think it will be Heineman as it will be a bottom 6 guy and he can provide offense on the PP2 while still playing a heavy forechecking game.
Farrell will see time this year if there's an injury in the top 9 and they need more pop offensively.
Is Beck the next Turtleplek?Owen Motherbleeping Beck.
He has unlimited compete and gets better every year. Plays a game that coaches love. Dvorak is a goner.
Zero chance Roy comes to training camp with that mindset.Barre-Boulet has the inside track, but honestly even Roy doesn't have a secure spot in the lineup. If Roy comes to camp thinking his spot is secure he'll more then likely get sent down (Much like Justin Barron last year).
i think that it'll take a couple of weeks into the season to ship out one of the extra D pieces in a trade for a top 9 forward, and in the meantime, someone inconsequential like Condotta will make the team as a 13th forward out of camp
what's the lineup then?
my point is with RHP's injury you're sitting at 12 F so one of the guys in the poll is going to make it out of camp, unless you're thinking it's a waiver wire pickup or they sit with 12 FFind list of current signed players, place in blender, mix and serve.
We're more likely to keep 8 D than a 13th forward. RHP being out might be a blessing in disguise. We don't need to carry an extra forward until there's an injury.my point is with RHP's injury you're sitting at 12 F so one of the guys in the poll is going to make it out of camp, unless you're thinking it's a waiver wire pickup or they sit with 12 F
Dvo could get us a 2nd at the deadline.Owen Motherbleeping Beck.
He has unlimited compete and gets better every year. Plays a game that coaches love. Dvorak is a goner.
He’ll probably get a few games.I think Beck will make it at some point this season.
I honestly don’t feel like any of these guys will. Heineman may be closest for a bottom six role but he still hasn’t put together a. Complete season yet. ABB only stands a chance in the top six as his skill set isn’t suited for a checking role so that’s going to be a challenge. As for the others, Beck/Kapanen/Tuch/FX/ Farrell etc they all need full seasons in the AHL to develop.The habs have 11 forwards (Suzuki, Slaf, Caufield, Dach, Newhook, Roy, Dvorak, Anderson, Gallagher, Armia, Evans) expected to be regulars + Pezzetta as the 13th forward. That leaves us with 1 open spot. Assuming we don't acquire a forward, which prospect do you think will make the team?
