The Jake Allen contract is looking like a mistake not Bergevin level but an error none the less.

I don't disagree the contract looks bad, but I think the Allen re-signing was more for his leadership rather than his play.

With such a young D, it helps having a veteran goalie who can help point things out to the young guys from a goalie's point of view. As well, he sounds like a very good locker room guy which is ideal for a young team. For a bottom five team in the league, there still seems to be a lot of positivity from the players and having good locker room guys like Edmundson, Allen, Savard etc helps with the atmosphere.

Not many veterans would want to come play for a team knowing they'll likely get lit up and hurt their value going forward, Allen understood the situation he'd be in and still wanted to be part of the rebuild/retool.
 
I don't think anyone thought Monty would have a good year, if they had the benefit of hindsight I'm sure they wouldn't have extended.
True. One thing that did stand out with Sam was he was either really good or he was really bad. I was on board with trading Allen at TDL last year but the injury smashed that idea to bits. 1 game back wasn't enough time to cure the bait. I'm not sure HuGo would have pulled the trigger but had his performances after his return been before who knows.

Two things come to mind as the seasons winds down-
1. As bad as this team has been Samuel Montembeault is only one game under .500.
2. Hockey gods love the Habs...why? If this team is healthy all year you can add 7 wins to their total and they pick outside the top 10.

I look forward to this season ending soon!

Oh, and the Habs won't win tonight. They have nothing left to give.
 
Can't see Montreal winning this game. The D is really bad now. Lol

What's the lineup there?

Matheson - Kovacevic
Edmundson - Barron
Schueneman - Wideman

Detroit still has NHL forwards. They're going to have an easy time of it.

Then our forwards:

Hoffman - Suzuki - Gallagher
Farrell - Drouin - Armia
Ylonen - Evans - Gurianov
Pezzetta - Tierney - Pitlick

That's just awful.

I'm watching Buffalo-Florida game, and just flipping back to this one occasionally. CHL playoffs if Buffalo-Florida game is a blowout.

Yeah that line up might not be able to win the AHL Calder Cup.
 
TBH is there such a big difference between 5th and 6th? Let's face it - we are not getting Bedard - if life were THAT good I'd be living in a nice ocean view condo right on Playa Vallarta, having pina coladas for breakfast, lunch and dinner and wholesome mexican mamasitas giving me a massage every day. This is the only way Habs get Bedard.
5 you should get you a shot at 1 of the 3 Euros (Carlsson-Sale-Michkov).
Then its smallish NA guys, all forwards.

Because its all forwards, i see the teams going way off the board after like the 7th pick with Euro dmen with size Instead of all the 5’9 lw.
Maybe the sons get a boost: Perreault, Bonk, Gauthier.
 
I'm here for the GDT :popcorn:

Gonna be hard for the Habs not to finish 6th worst overall. Arizona are spiralling downward now.

Benson , Sale or Dvorak ?.... Or trade that pick for something big and ready.
 
Me too. Benson is "another" pint-size" forward. Outside the top -five (including MItchkov), I don't see what's so special about this draft. Very few good d-men. Lots of smaller players.
Fair observation
