With the injury news from today, next game will be even more disgusting defensively (and that is if Matheson can play).

Matheson-Mailloux
Hutson-Barron
Xhekaj-Savard

Barron has been the best D in the dzone since the season started among that sextet...

Every other team can acquire good players and we can’t for some reason

Been the same for two decades
Not every team, mostly the same few teams do well. Teams like Buffalo draft high but lose players and games. Canadian teams continue to lose. Boston retools. Florida teams and Vegas pick up free agents.

The habs are making progress, but they have some distance to go to be a playoff team. Once they hit the playoffs they’ll see if they can win playoff series with the team they have. They need at least a couple of more physical D and a bruising fourth line. It’s good to have some skill players, like Evans, in the bottom six, but in the playoffs you need some guys who will wear down the other team and keep plugging.

Sure, but that’s not what I said. I didn’t say every other team is good, I said they can get good players.

The habs have acquired players recently, but they are not at the point where it makes sense to go after free agents. they should have lots of space and money in a year or two, we'll see how they do then.

Admittedly the team looks weak so far, and the constant injuries aren't helping.
