I think they should both be on the team. Intimidation is still clearly a factor in the NHL. Barron and Harris's jobs are on the line long term.

That moment when you realize Savard has 7 points in 11 games

Most likely to be Harris. Unless he magically transforms into Lindstrom, the writing is on the wall. I wouldn't pencil neither Hutson nor Mailloux though. Got lots of growing pains with the latter. Actually come to think of it, I'd rather Harris over Matheson long term for sure.
Matheson plays more like a winger than he does a D to be honest. Also his weaknesses wouldn't be so exposed at that position. Dude is catastrophic levels of bad on D. But he can skate and clearly has hands.

It's not really a slight on him, but in my perfect world, Guhle, Hutson are top 4 LD and Reinbacher, Mailloux are top 4 RD. That leaves Struble on the 3rd pair.
Who knows, maybe Hutson or Mailloux's game don't translate as well or are defensive liabilities and end up as a 3rd pairing PP specialist, but that would be very disappointing.

I was looking at some stats on NHL.com earlier today and noticed that the Leafs (yes the Leafs) had the most hits/60 at home with 26.45 hits and yet were 29th in the NHL for hits/60 on the road with only 13.12.While Chicago was given 22 hits!
Their stat guy.
Inflating hit totals at home for your Leafs ain't gonna fool anyone into thinking your Leafs play a tough hitting game there Leafs stats guy.

That wouldn't be a bad idea cause up and coming quality bottom six guys are not legion. They are either skilled guys that we put them there "for the time being" or old guys that have jumped from teams to teams a la Bellsille.
Great to see them continue to come back, play heavy, hold the lead and close it out.
Slaf was fantastic. Well deserved 2pts for him

I’m expecting Luke Tuch to push for that role in the next 12-months

Someone in the GDT said that the Hawks feed mentioned that they noticed something different with Caufield's shot this year. Did they elaborate anymore on that subject for anyone who was watching the Hawks feed?
If you told me at the start of the year we would be 3 points out of 2nd place in the division at christmas break id say your crazy. goes to show you how much everyone in our division has faltered, especially Toronto
He played some in Laval last season. There were a couple of plays last evening where he was playing inverted as we tend to do. He was very strong breaking up a couple of plays with ease. Harris was getting beat easily along the boards when he played there and Xhekaj has never looked comfortable there. I doubt we see it though as long as Kovacevic remains relatively stable and there are no more injuries.

They noticed he didn’t have the jump nor the power that he usually showed. They didn’t seem to have any inside info.

Oh someone has to put Suzuki's head on Tony Montana and Slafs on Manny's. lol
I'm never looking at chicken wings the same way again lolAt first I thought those wings were this figure that you see regularly on a trucks mud flaps.

I have been very very high on him for quite some time.
I remember losing it earlier this season when he was our best player on the ice for Laval and our only player with a goal.
We pull the goalie down 2 with more than 5 minutes to go and Struble never saw the ice.
.When he got called up I said "I hope he gets to play and never sees Laval again."
From what I'm hearing there isn't one analyst who sees him getting sent back.

Friedman thinking Matheson could be on the board was either him thinking out loud or him knowing the Habs aren't saying no to all offers.
He's also dragging Suzuki with him with his physical play. Nick's last two goals were very similar and scored from the inner slot. He also almost had another one from there as well but was just off the proper angle and couldn't corral the rebound.
