My prediction is: They will look unprepared and overwhelmed in all first 4 games.Forget last season, forget preseason, Wednesday night is a clean slate. Night one.
But I think they’re gonna get ****ing spanked
Which means it’ll be a good game.

Barron got blamed every games he played last year and several fans consider he is already a bust. Also he gets heat because Lehkonen won a Stanley Cup immediately after being traded.
Regarding MSL, as much as I like CC Slaf and NS‘s performance last year, I fail to have seen a true defensive system, an effective PP and an effective bottom 6. It s a rebuild so it is fine but if it does not improve this year, he should be accountable for those failures.

I guess ABB have made the team.
Meaning that one of Heineman/Roy/Kapanen will get cut, I'm guessing Heineman.

Habs put nobody on waivers today. So Barron, ABB and Pezz made the team since tomorrow is the deadline to send the season roster to the NHL and waiver eligable players had to be waived today.

ABB was always going to make the team and especially after Laine's injury
Hughes can't have his prized offseason acquisition get waived
I think ABB cleared waivers already, so he doesn't have to be waived for another month.

They don't necessarily need to send him down after waiving, but you might be right.
ABB was the only player in that group who was in jeopardy. IMO
Lots of people were asking for Barron to get waived.
And unless there is a trade before tomorrow's deadline, this is pretty much last year line-up, so a one line team with a bottom 6 that can't score or stop pucks from getting in.

Not sure what, but somewhat sad to see it that this to finally act and fix what is a stupid system.
I've been seeing many claim it's because Florida won the Stanley Cup while they had the most PIM during the season, basically brought back goons/enforcers as a thing.
Side effect: talentless jambroni think they can win points with NHL GMs by being stupid goons again.

Confirmed ?
I still think ABB should have been a Canadien a long time ago. MB's management never communicated with him and preferred Alain. In any case, he improved his skating imo and outplayed Roy.
Not confirmed, but he wasn't waived at 2pm today and that was the deadline to waive anyone who require waivers you don't want on your official roster at 5pm tomorrow (deadline to be cap and roster size compliant). Habs waived nobody, so only waiver exampt players are going down tomorrow.
Hopefully if he does nothing in the first 10 games they waive him. Why do they want another midget?

Well, trying to take the pulse from the board, I'd say there are many self-inflicted cuts already rampant among members
Is there a reason we couldn't start our season on a Mechant Mardi which is kind of a traditional Game Day.
Like are the Leafs super busy doing something or is it Disney on Ice Day.
No instead we get a Wednesday game and then have to go back to back against Boston.
I'm not sure if the building is booked but if it isn't it makes no sense at all.

We should finally start to see lines tomorrow at practise and maybe some idea how the power play will do better than -1 for 30 attempts or
-3% on the PP.
-3% on the PP.

He was never placed on waivers only Condotta was, so yeah, ABB has made the team.

Montreal has til 5 p.m. Monday to submit a 23 man opening day roster that complies with the salary cap.
They need to cut:
2 D (Mailloux, Engstrom)
1 G (Dobes)
1 F (Roy or Heineman, as ABB wasn't put on waivers)
