GDT: Game 38: Friday, January 3, 8 PM | RDS, TSN2 Habs @ Blackhawks - 2025 is here baby!!!

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

I think David Icke’s a conspiracist nut with his reptilian world domination. Then I see Martin Biron, and I’m like, maybe this guy’s actually on to something after all.

Leave Butters alone

 

[Kimota]

I’m sure it could. And there’s a reason for that.

He’s also apparently a jackass. 8 mil a year… Dach obviously has health challenges that he’s working through but if he can find his game I think you get a lot more bang for the buck.

I’m not saying either of these guys are untradeable but I’m not in a hurry to move them either.

I feel like Lafreniere is more of a complete all around player than Slaf. As for JT Miller, I'll take the jerk over the head case. Miller is a Dale Hunter. Talent and feistiness. I just love this guy.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

i do remember Subban being too cute sometimes, but he had the killer instinct for scoring that clutch goal. he wanted to be the one to score it

Lane has that too, he just doesn’t have the shot PK did.

It’s one thing he really needs to improve.

 

[OldCraig71]

Says the ultimate shit-disturber.

He started this just like usual.

 

[Habs13]

We aren't trading Slafkovsky or Dach... not even Newhook.

Yeah, no way, dude.

Lafreniere is not a complete player.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Leave Butters alone

Everyone knows it’s Butters!

I think we trade Newhook when Demidov arrives.

 

[Team_Spirit]

@windycity on the scene + Demigod 3pts game the Habs will win

 

[McGuires Corndog]

I think we trade Newhook when Demidov arrives.

Right away or after Demidov establishes himself?

I could see him being moved at the deadline next year maybe? Can’t see it before then?

 

[HabbyGuy]

I think we trade Newhook when Demidov arrives.

Not so sure about that, Newhook could be a valuable 3rd liner. Guess it depends on the return or if we package him for help elsewhere.

 

[morhilane]

I think we trade Newhook when Demidov arrives.

Probably end up as the 3rd line center with Dvorak gone.

 

[The Real Timo]

So we're trading Slaf for Lafreniere I hear? Nice. Let's do it

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I feel like Lafreniere is more of a complete all around player than Slaf.

That’s because he’s three years older. Slaf’s going to be a lot better than he is three years from now.

As for JT Miller, I'll take the jerk over the head case. Miller is a Dale Hunter. Talent and feistiness. I just love this guy.

Yeah, I get that. But we’ve got Hutson and Demidov to sign in the next few years. Miller’s 8 mil a year is a big expense.

And he’s 31 years old. The demographics don’t favour us getting him right now.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Probably end up as the 3rd line center with Dvorak gone.

I think Evans or Beck takes that. Newhook isn't a center.

 

[Habs]

Says the ultimate shit-disturber.

i'm getting better though , right? My New Year's Resolution ?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Let's go! PP is up.

 

[The Great Weal]

Suzuki has done everything but score

 

[Runner77]

i'm getting better though , right? My New Year's Resolution ?

It was a compliment. You’re a professional.

 

[HabsCode]

armia on first wave PP?

I would use Matheson instead if we are to stoop that low

 

[Andrei79]

Yeah, no way, dude.

Lafreniere is not a complete player.

Yeah, no chance I do that swap. It took Lafreniere 4 years and a top 5 winger in the game to produce like Slaf in his second year. Slafkovsky will have ups and downs until he figures out what kind of player he is, but he's a rare breed of player, one you don't take risks trading unless it's a no brainer. That's without mentioning the rumors of Lafreniere not taking his off seasons seriously.

 

[The Real Timo]

That PP is not inspiring.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

It was a compliment. You’re a professional.

He’s our #2 man!

 

[Kimota]

Yeah, no way, dude.

Lafreniere is not a complete player.

From what I have seen, there's more nuances to his his game. He was known as an all around player if not a high end scoring talent when he came to the NHL.

 

[Pomee]

Please take Armia out of PP FFS!
He is so stupid... sigh!
