I get the depth. I get the complimentary pieceswell since were arguing, I'd say some of the pieces on both those teams haven't proven much yet either. Is Lindstom going to be fully healthy or is this chronic?
Everyone, especially the usual non-habs fan experts have written hutson off...
We'll all let you believe it when you see it, beyond your belief being only an opinion.
Habs have tremendous, org depth and some terrific complimentary pieces like Beck and lots of young D beyond Guhle and hutson including Mailloux, Engstrom and Reinbacher.
Hage and Demidov were very good picks. Hage projects as a 2C right now. They have an elite goalie prospect in Fowler and several picks in the the 1st 3 rounds this summer.
They have slafkovsky and Caufield.
Suzuki is also 25. He's not in a rebuilding windows
how many proven high end C's are in the league? How many of them (1Cs) already) are on rebuilding teams?
But here's the thing having watched ottawa come through a rebuild.....some night the best 3 - 5 players in the game are on the other team. DJ Smith, since fired, last year said it was the first year in his tenure where some nights they had maybe the best two or three players
Elite players make elite plays and win hockey games
In Montreal, IF Hutson develops into a top D 3 years down the road, you still won't have the best players most nights. 3 years from now, Suzuki is hoping to extend his prime and most nights the 1C on the other side is a better player
