Slaf's Story?

Location of our HF meetup we need to do one day!

Comparing them to 4 Hall of Famers - yes that exactly what I intended.

Let me be clearer, given the current top 6 s - which already has two core players under 6 feet - I don't think Hugo wants to add a 5'10 player and Demidov. That would make for a very soft top 6.

Yes, because signing and trading players is strictly forbidden in the NHL. The roster we have now must remain the same one forever.

Because core top 6 players change teams all the time right?

Also Habs are in advantageous cap situation with their top players. None of the young forwards will earn 8 M for the foreseeable future. We will live and die with Suzuki, Slaf, Caufield, Dach, Demidov and one more to add through UFA once the team reaches the next step.

NHL team building is not like EA Sport. It's hard to move big contracts. Ask Toronto how easy it is to trade core players.

Habs being in an advantageous cap situation helps in any future trades.

Not sure why you bring up Toronto, as their top players cap situation is the exact opposite of ours, of course it would be difficult for them. Not to mention, there's no indication they even wanted to move any of their core; they kept wanting to 'run it back'.

Saying 'the habs will live and die with blablabla' doesn't prove a point. I'm not saying I disagree but yeah it's easy to see why they would be happy with good young players at a reasonable cap cost.

Technically though, anything is possible and IF we had drafted Michkov or Leonard or Joe Blow from Saskatoon, there always is an option to move a similar roster player if the team felt inclined to do so for whatever reason.

This season Laval. Reinbacher rough around the edges. Both Struble and Engstrom looked better other night.

if it's easier for you, just imagine that we had traded michkov for reinbacaher at the draft night

Again, I personally don't care too much to ruminate on the idea of 'what if we drafted XYZ instead'.

I think they saw a 'big' young Dman who at the time was putting up impressive numbers (considering his age) in a good league, playing against men.

That's a decent bet to make.

For sure not all of the scouts were unanimously on board with Bustbacher at #5. Some would have preferred to take another player at #5.

I would have liked to have seen more from Bustbacher at this point, a player drafted in 2023 at #5 OA. Many others have commented, a lot of our other players/prospects are looking better as of right now, which isn't a great feeling.

It would have been nice for the guy we drafted at #5 to flex on our other players with his superior skating/intelligent/speed/size/whatever, but he looks relatively pedestrian.

Let's see, and to be clear I want him to do well (obviously).
