That game won’t mean much for the evaluation of the players since more then 50% of the players are gonna be AHLer for life but excited to have a game

It looks like he may make the team so that makes him exciting imo but sure he does not have a flashy style.

It is incredibly early to suggest that it looks like he may make the team when there are 12 forward positions filled and he has not played a single game in NA. I have been maybe his most ardent supporter but I think that he is much more likely to go back to Europe and play under Jokinen.

I could see him making the team if an injury or two happens but I think that would likely be temporary and he would still end up back in Europe. We have Pezzetta as the 13th forward with RHP returning from injury later in the season with ABB, Beck, Gignac, Heineman, Farrell, Mesar, Tuch etc as potential call ups in case of further injuries. He has never lived away from home and playing for Timra will be a big adjustment for him and a learning experience that he can use when moving to Montreal next season.

I wholeheartedly agree with your post.

And its pretty apparent that we will start with an already defined 13 forward group and 8 defenseman.

Otoh, Dvorak, Evans, Armia are on their last final year. Gallagher and Anderson will be buyable next summer. (Two years left) and Roy can still go to the AHL.

Although, its a reach to think he can make the team right now, nobody has a safe chair in this bottom six and for example, if management don't plan on re-signing Evans, he could be sacrificed for Kapanen in the case where the latter would force their hands.

Id rather they expose him.

He will never reach his potential being held up and playing with fears.

If the Habs lose they're eliminated from the playoffs and we need to over analyze everything.

If the Flyers lose they probably don't care one way, or another.

The flyers already won because they get to share the gate revenue with the Habs for this preseason game..... and the fans here always show up.

Although, when you convert it to American money.... maybe it's not that great of a win.
