Pre-Game Talk: Countdown thread to 24-25 Season (T - 6 hours)

[Habby4Life]

all of us


demidov, hage, beck and kapponen - but yes they need to draft a couple of more top end forwards

Of those 4, only Demi is top end talent. The other 3, no guarantee they make it or even move the needle.

Hugo needs to get to work and revamp the horrid bottom six. Adding a top 4 RD would be nice.

Demi is elite but Hage is gonna be a top 6 guy.

 

[Habby4Life]

Demi is elite but Hage is gonna be a top 6 guy.

No way to know just yet what Hage will be.

He was drafted late in the first and % who turn out to be something is low. For all we know he is another Mesar.

 

[McGees]

This season just got 20% lamer.
We will do better but probably finish around 8-12 pick.

 

[OneSharpMarble]

For the love of God why are people so obsessed with fighting? It's so utterly f***ing worthless. You want Slav to break his hand on some scrubs face? Is it too much to ask to just get everyone to finish checks and punish opponents along the boards? Let's get some open ice hits, put one guy through the glass and the whole team will be panic passing for the rest of the game.

 

[The Real Timo]

I know... let's dress full lineup against goon sens squad tomorrow. That went so well yesterday. All the PP we'll get... Whoo boi!!

 

[Tyson]

Maybe the Habs need one more top 5 pick...

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Maybe the Habs need one more top 5 pick...

They 100% did.

This draft has some either high-end skill, or very skilled with size available.

I'm really hoping Calgary finishes 11th.



Jan Jenik might be a good waiver option. There is a chance he makes the sens as he's looked good, but he's a big body with some skill and could be worth the chance.

Can you explain the Calgary pick to me? How is Florida's pick involved?

 

[Deebs]

Have they made any cuts yet?

They are going to get one.

I'd be more worried about Slaf's jaw. Riffai clocked him pretty good last night.

27 + 2 players on waivers i read somehwere

Les 16 joueurs suivants ont été cédés au Rocket de Laval. Parmi ceux-ci, on retrouve sept attaquants (Vincent Arseneau, Alex Beaucage, Laurent Dauphin, Israel Mianscum, Logan Nijhoff, Jakov Novak et Charles Savoie), sept défenseurs (Zackary Hayes, Joshua Jacobs, Chris Jandric, Simon Motew, Jacob Paquette, Vincent Sévigny et Tyler Wotherspoon) et deux gardiens (Luke Cavallin et Hunter Jones).

De plus, les joueurs suivants ont été assignés au club de la LAH affilié aux Canadiens : Owen Beck, Jared Davidson, Sean Farrell, Riley Kidney, Filip Mesar, Jacob Perreault, Xavier Simoneau, Luke Tuch, Florian Xhekaj, William Trudeau et Connor Hughes, soit neuf attaquants, un défenseur ainsi qu'un gardien.

Au total, 27 joueurs rejoindront le camp d'entraînement du Rocket, qui débutera ce mardi 1er octobre à la Place Bell.

Can you explain the Calgary pick to me? How is Florida's pick involved?

I’ll explain it while they’re walking up to the podium in June. How does that sound?

I read that it's pretty complicated but Calgary's pick is top 10 protected. I guess if Calgary finishes in the top 10 then the Habs get Florida's pick?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Can you explain the Calgary pick to me? How is Florida's pick involved?

From what I understand for what's left is...

If the picks are both top 10, Montreal gets Calgary's 2026 1st unprotected.

If one pick is top 10 and the other is outside the top 10 Montreal gets the pick outside the top 10.

If both picks are outside the top 10, Montreal gets the better of the two picks.

I think 11th is ideal.
Unless both are top 10 picks, but that’s unlikely.

 

[The Real Timo]

Maybe the Habs need one more top 5 pick..

They’re getting one whether they want it or not.

Condotta and Gignac on waivers

Why did t Arseneau play last night? Isn’t he supposed to be good with his fists? Wouldn’t it be good to play him against the turds?

Mesar is a bust. Another wasted pick.

Yep, totally agree, this is a bottom 5 team.

Mesar - he will be gone in two / three years. Shows nothing.

 

[McGees]

Simple - we will get FLA pick 99.9%

That's what I fgured

Well Demidov went later than he should have. Hage probably did too HuGo likely figured he would go top 15. Hutson went 62. HuGo are better at drafting than many GM's.

 

[Habs]

This year is going to be horrific and boring. I am going to ruin it for everyone once again with my toxic negativity and trashing of MSL. Apologies in advance
