Players on the team that has only given up 7 goals in 4 games and and 4 at 5 v 5?and he's tied with Matthews and Mitch " I'm like a God" Marner.
I don't really disagree with what you said. They do seem to target young-ish established players (guys in their mid 20s) and reclamation projects, though. And Hughes seems more obsessed with winning individual hockey trades than improving the team by giving it purpose and direction.There has to be an acceptance from the team and fans that a better roster also means adding veterans and not just dropping all of your prospects into the NHL. That may very well mean replacing Savard with another veteran if they don't see the progression they hoped with most of their young blueline vs just add Mailloux/Reinbacher in Savard's spot. Might mean moving off any or all of X/Struble/Barron if they don't show enough this season and letting those 2 kids take their spots.

That line has been bad
Suzuki is getting manhandled at 5v5
He's a #2C who is good all around but not elite with non elite linemates and not much behind him. Kind of like asking Kadri to be your #1C or whatever. He can do it for stretches but he is not good enough to be the guy, but quite valuable down your lineup
The Devils are a good team this year.leaders are so sensitive

Mailloux is the most offensive only oriented d we have. Guhle is the defensive beast but it's hard to play d with four youngsters when Matheson sucks defensively and Savard looks absolutely brutal this year.Mike Matheson is their 1D.
I like their long term outlook at forward enough, but they really need one of Reinbacher or Mailloux to develop into a guy who can lead a top pair defensively.
Best non play off team in the east.The Devils are a good team this year.
MSL brought some optimism to the Habs, but they probably should have thought more carefully about hiring a guy who only coached PeeWee.
They're not going anywhere and aren't going to take the next step with MSL.
Funny I literally just edited my post bc I thought back to how on 2012 draft night, the Penguins took Pouliot 8th OA, Maatta 22nd OA, and acquired Brian Doumolin in a trade. When they won the cup, Dumo was on the top pair, Maatta on the bottom, and Pouliot was a bust.Mailloux is the most offensive only oriented d we have. Guhle is the defensive beast but it's hard to play d with four youngsters when Matheson sucks defensively and Savard looks absolutely brutal this year.
Only 13 centres in the entire league had more points than Nick Suzuki last year, but you says he's a #2 centre.
How does that work?
How you determine who is and isn't a first line centre, because it appears production has nothing to do with it, so I'd love to know what criteria you are using.
Savard has also missed 20 games a season for the 3 he's been with Montreal.Mailloux is the most offensive only oriented d we have. Guhle is the defensive beast but it's hard to play d with four youngsters when Matheson sucks defensively and Savard looks absolutely brutal this year.
Hahaha exactly. Makar always plays defenceBut Hutson is the next Makar...this doesn't make sense...
Yup.Options are really limited because of the French speaker requirement. Hey, I understand why the requirement is there but it is a real handicap.
Why is it a requirement? That they have a requirement is dumb.Options are really limited because of the French speaker requirement. Hey, I understand why the requirement is there but it is a real handicap.

Get the coach a translator.
See I don’t understand why the requirement is there. It’s stupid and objectively bad for competitiveness.Options are really limited because of the French speaker requirement. Hey, I understand why the requirement is there but it is a real handicap.
