Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
I could be wrong but my suggestion:
Caufield - Suzuki - Slafkovský
Laine - Dvorak - Gallagher (Dvorak and Gallagher have good positional play, Gallagher is a warrior, Dvorak has a great FO)
Newhook - Beck - Anderson (three fast, aggressive players)
Heineman - Evans - Armia
Caufield - Suzuki - Slafkovský
Laine - Dvorak - Gallagher (Dvorak and Gallagher have good positional play, Gallagher is a warrior, Dvorak has a great FO)
Newhook - Beck - Anderson (three fast, aggressive players)
Heineman - Evans - Armia

I would be interesting to see if Laine could benefit from playing with Suzuki for a few games.
Another team the Habs can't beat for years on in.

Time to show Rantanen why he should sign here this summer
I think it is not good idea. Slafkovský is ideal to Caufield and Suzuki. They need a similar player, not a player with style like Laine.

Carolina has been kind of crappy on the road this year. They're below .500 (12-14-3). They're also only 5-4-1 in last 10.
Rantanen has 3 points for them since coming over from Colorado (in 7 games). He hasn't exactly helped them raise their game.
Anyways, they've got some great drama going on over there with the whole will he sign or won't he sign with Rantanen.
Trade Deadline is 11 days away.
I guess we'll see what happens.

I don't get how Dach got injured. He was off for 2 weeks. It's such a bummer what happened to him, he looked so damn good before that knee got blown out.
Seems he is only productive playing with MacKinnon...bewareTime to show Rantanen why he should sign here this summer
For me It's the language they used "further evaluation"
They make it sound like they aren't happy with the initial evaluation?
Like is he being shut down so they can determine what the extent of the damage is.
I would be happier if it was reported as a LBI not related to his knee or something like that.

He caught Reinbacher's weakneeitis? Not even the knee he injured before... Sheesh...

Wow, Canes are 2 - 4 - 1 with Rantanen and have lost their last 4. And we looked really good coming out of the break...
Will be interesting to see how we do tonight. I can go either way - push for a p lo payoff spot, or another top 5 pick.

Over the past three seasons far too many teams have teed off on the Habs to reverse their fortunes.
I count three or more teams who were horrible heading into the game and went on long winning streaks afterwards.
I'd like to put a "Dead Stop" to that kind of shit.

I wouldn't say we looked great but we did take advantage of a depleted Sens squad and Carolina will be a different test.

It’s all speculation. Some blog stuff has suggested it’s a deeper issue to the same knee he hurt last year. But I’m not sure if there’s any truth to it.
If it is the same knee though, they’re smart to be cautious about it.

I don’t believe that’s the case.
I’m not a big fan. Just think he’s been productive without Mac.
Win or lose, they’re sellers if a 1st is in play.
The later round trades could depend on the next handful of games.

Edit: mis-read your post. You mean they've lost 4 in a row WITH Rantanen in line-up, which is true.
I'll leave the rest of my post up.
They haven't lost their last 4 since they beat Utah 7-3 in the last game before break. Rantanen actually didn't play that game, which is their only win this month.
They're 1-4 in February.
They're 3-4-1 since picking up Rantanen.
Lost in OT to NYI
Beat Chicago, NYR & Utah
Lost to LAK, Winnipeg, Minnesota & Toronto
But, yes, they've been sucking lately & Rantanen doesn't seem to be helping - yet anyway.

While I am a fan of Rantanen be real careful offering him 14 million or even north off 11 million. He may be a product of the players he played with.

Stay tuned.
