Barring trades, I think the top 6 next year will be the following
Newhook - Suzuki - Roy
Caufield - Dach - Slaf
With hopefully Ylonen and RHP beating out Gallagher for the 3rd line wing spots and competing with Anderson:
RHP - Monahan - Anderson
Gallagher - Evans - Ylonen
I don't think that's a bad forward corps at all. Monahan and Dach being healthy are the keys.

Yeah, a lot of young players have been taking strides under this new management. It beats what we've been used to which were young players upon young players fizzling out.
Very happy as well that Slaf had another good game. There was a stretch where I was legitimately worried that he was stalling but it turned out to be the normal vissicitudes of young player development and the line he was on was not well conceived either. One thing I'll say though is he was one of the better players in preseason, but you wouldn't have known from reading some of the opinions here.

I’m really starting to worry about Xhekajs ability to stay healthy. I’m really bummed he is on IR.

Back to .500. Only 4 points out of playoff spot.
There must be a way for Ylonen to use these mitts in game situation more often
Wow, I hope he breaks out
Wow, I hope he breaks out
Damn same for me, always thought he looked wayyyy too shy out there, doesn't seem to like being hit either, but if he can use the intensity of that last shot into the rest of his game, watch out.
But shit, can't wait til he deserves to make mistakes and not be benched if he does, unlike others who can't do shit right now.

I hate to be negative here and I’ve not read this thread…just came to vent….I think many of us have seen the incredible puck handling skill by one Jesse Ylonen. So why is he not shooting 3rd in the shootout? Why 7th? Chances are, you would never see him if he stayed at 7th. Is MSL that obtuse or is he purposely trying to tank? I know this sounds harsh but I’m pretty bummed to see how we almost lost this game because for some reason MSL thinks guys like Slaf and Monahan are better puck handlers with their weapon. THEY ARE NOT COACH!
Thanks for listening….let me have it if you feel I’m way out of line.

Gallagher is better than Anderson.
There is... getting on the ice, which MSL doesn't want.

Lightning hold final spot with 23 points. We have 20 points. Same amount of games played
It's a bummer. Weve been talking for a while now about how extended shifts can lead to injury and was probably part of our man games lost issues these past couple of seasons. In this instance I think it was reported Xhekaj was at 2:48 when he got Barbashoved.

Slaf can handle some of the dirty work to spring Caufield at ES. As for Dvorak, lots of his career goal scoring is on tips and rebounds. I would love if Slaf could get more pucks on net.
Three games coming up against teams we do not typically fare wll against. LA Columbus and Fla.
24th place here we come.

I do Three bullets.
+2 and 1a
2 wins in 2 games to start his career on the Habs Cali trip with his family there to see him
He must be having so much fun man lol
It's a heirarchy thing and most teams suffer from it. With more success it will certainly change. Caufield has been terrible ever since he's tried to emulate Suzuki's slow entry Monahan has been bad. I'm actually surprised Ylonen got a chance before Newhook.

But Xhekaj injury is good for the tank. If he isn't there to protect anyone we will get more injuries to our young players which is the best case scenario, right?

Monahan 58%
Dvorak 55%
Suzuki 53%
Evans 51%
That's great to see, mainly Suzuki over 50%
Habs are better in the defensive zone at draws than the o-zone.
Kovacevic has less hits than Caufield
Gotta imagine Dvorak is dealt at the deadline, or offseason. Possibly Evans and maybe both, especially if they re-sign/extend Monahan.
Sucks Dach is hurt to see if he's improving in the dot
Dvorak 55%
Suzuki 53%
Evans 51%

I think that we should trade either Allen or Monty if the right deal is there, go with CP and one of the other two, and stop with the 3-goalie system. They probably went this route because the hope was there that a possible trade could happen.
