I'm not against moving anyone. Though if we see that Laine is not 100%, others will too. So his value would probably be next to nothing. Personally I'd give him the rest of the year.
laine 100 pct hurt , his stride slowed down dramatically last few games. I willing to bet he also need surgery. I will not go to low on him.

One thing makes me happy is we have a solid management. When we had our streak, they did not go too high and i am confident they wont go too low now.
Just stay the course.

I agree I don't think he's 100% right now. I just hope that if he's that seriously hurt. He would shut it down now.

Nicely said! Our management team didn't change their actions, when the team was playing bad, or during our great winning streak. I think we'll see more vital changes next year.
 
I'm not sure we can fall to the bottom 4 at this point. There are a lot of garbage teams, especially in the west. But it might be time to bring back a tank thread.

Ugly game. We still don't seem to have a functioning 2nd line. Laine isn't a very strong 5 on 5 player, and Dach and Newhook just still trying to find their game to various degrees.

Not as good as the hot streak, not as bad as the current slump.

Side note though but Craig Button was unbearable to listen to tonight. I normally don't have a strong opinion on commentators either way but someone has to tell him the analyst/colour commentator is supposed to speak less than the play by play announcer. Mudryk, hardly responded once to Buttons one way pontification all night. I laughed my ass off when Button responded to Mudryk by saying, "I couldn't have said it better myself, Bryan," before going on to repeat what Mudryk had said in a slightly different way.
 
I think when I watch teams like the Ducks their trolling and physicallity put them back in the game all the time. But we never ever do that. This team lacks an edge. And this is part will never get better with that coach.
 
Don't know why the coach doesn't just try to switch things up. 2nd line hasn't been working, maybe you can try to see if Laine finds some random Finnish chemistry with Armia or something.
 
Simon Snake Boivert said one of the best player in the next draft is Caleb Desnoyer. He says Desnoyer could become very fast the first center of the CH, ahead of Suzuki. He's projected to be picked 5h overall. Do you think he's that good and do you think Habs have what it takes in a trade to get the #5 pick? Or do you think Habs can drop enough to pick #5 anyway?

Or you think Simon Snake Boivert is in the potato fields (dans les patates, lol)?
Desnoyer is a riser and I think he ends up in top 5 if not then 6 or 7 latest.
No I don't think we end up in top 5, more likely 8-12.
We can speculate about trading up but the reality is you almost never see it as it costs too much.
