HF Habs: If your HuGo, what's your next move?

[Banjo Cat]

We need a good defenseman who isn't a kid. We also need other things. We can't address them all. But that's a start. Then, we pick high again.

 

[bsl]

Scratch Dvorak and Armia, and call up Roy.

Roy Roy roy

 

[bsl]

You don’t think Roy would be a massive upgrade to Heineman offensivevely?
I think you need to check with your optometrist

How was Roy’s camp?

Massive upgrade. lol.

 

[rickthegoon]

Massive upgrade. lol.

I agree it was not as good as Kappamen.
But here we are a month after and who do you honestly think would be productive presently?
Sorry, but nobody could convice me that Roy-Tuch-Beck or Davidson would be less efficient than Dvorak-Heineman-Kappanen .

 

[therocket9]

Send Primeau down call up Hughes.

 

[Positive Vibes]

No team trades a solid young right d.

why do people say this? Anybody can be traded if the offer is right.

because everyone laughed at us when we said Chiarot would get a good return

 

[tazsub3]

Where is the option of do nothing . We tanking and we getting tanking results .
The young future players like Hutson look amazing and the crap that won’t be there in 2 years look like shit .
Follow the plan

 

[Jigger77]

I would look at moving Matheson for a similar aged Dman that can eat big minutes, plays a simple, physical, safe and defensively sound game and makes a good first pass. I think he's too focused on offense and hurts the team more than he helps with the long shifts, turnovers and missed defensive assignments. Let Hutson play that 1st PP role and give the #2pp time to Ghule who I think has more offensive potential than he's being given credit for. Who that is I don't know and probably easier said than done. But maybe there's a fit somewhere with a team that needs Matheson's offense. I think it would change the complexion of the team for the better and solidify overall team structure.

 

[Jaynki]

Mailloux is a B asset?

Yes. All tools no toolbox.

Probably has an NHL future but don't have first PP nor 1st pair acuity.

He has good tools like i said and has some eyes popping skills with the puck but his comprehension of the game and play off the puck is atrocious to a point where i can't remember the last time i witnessed it.

Always out of position, constantly miss his coverage, constantly lose his puck battles and on top of that he is a puck blunder machine.

We should absolutely entertain trading him if we can get our hands on a proven forward or defenseman who would add much needed quality depth, for example someone like Brando Carlo.

There’s no reason to do anything right now.

He’s exactly at the point he was expected to be at .

He’s gonna wait out the seasons and collect a high pick clear out another good bit of salary.
Once that’s done. He’s gonna sacrifice MSL for a real coaching staff in the offseason. Then bring in a possibly 2-3 completely new veterans in some role.
Actually defining the bottom 6 with roles each line having different styles and systems of play.


Still probably won’t be good next year. But In the Mix would be accurate.
He had to know this lineup was a disaster waiting to happen. Either that or I fear he has no idea of how to put together a team. But I find that hard to believe

Disagree. He said "in da mix". I don't see da mix. I see race for bottom 3.
To give Hughes credit he did not really define what "da mix" was... So...

Sigh.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Being up Roy.

Look at getting a steady veteran RD.

 

[Andrei79]

Forget waiving, It's gonna be a f***ing typhoon if I'm there. A whole bunch of these vets gone.

Bob Hartley.

Bring in better more character vets.

Bring in more physicality across the board and a wolfpack mentality. Also you're not just gonna have to hit but learn how to get hit. Like being freaking aware of your surroundings. Like Ghule, freaking wake up, bro. People want your hide like you're supposed to want their scalp. They are not your friend so when someone is near you, get ready for anything. Protect yourself.

Make a wake up multi-player trade of sort that is fair for both teams. Something shocking, with a main player without being in our top elite. To continue changing the culture. It could even be a few players that we actually like. But you've got to give to receive.

And also make them paint their eyes black it's soooo cool and intimidating, and also make them change the rules so they can open carry guns on the ice, nobody would mess with them. Aint no friends on the ice. Keep their eyes open Clockwork Orange style and make them watch MMA for at least 24 hours. Like Xhekaj, you just want to bang bro. And lots of anabolic steroids and methamphetamines. Not a f***ing typhoon man, a f***ing existence wiping solar storm. Shock the shit out of the league with drugged out players. Man, I'm f***ing good at this hockey shit.

I would leave Roy in Laval on a winning team for at least 40 games and when he comes to Montreal this time around he will do what it takes to stay. I have a feeling there was more going on then just a poor camp as the reason he was sent down.

Nor should he….let them figure it out, let them face adversity, let them taste embarrassment….I’m good with finishing bottom 5, it’s an automatic blue chip fwd

Agreed. Matheson is an alright player, but he's been horribly overrated by some here and given more opportunity than he deserves. I would've traded him last summer.

None of the above, ask for a mulligan on the being 'in the mix' quote

Didn't do enough during the off-season to move the needle from picking 5th to being on the bubble, relying on a healthy Dach and a massive rebound year from Laine was never going to be enough

Reset the expectations of the fan base this is still a rebuilding year, we have a big number of UFAs on the way out and next year should be the year we start to be in the mix when it makes sense to start making trades for future players instead of picks

Your message is public. Deal with it. If you don't want people to butt in, send him a private message.

You can say what you want, but you going all white knight served no purposes, really.

Andrei79 targeted me and and I had every right for a comeback. And I did that and that should have been the end of it. But then you had to butt in. And at that point it's a just pilling in.

You basically defended someone who had struck the first blow. (probably cause you agree with him) So good for you, champ. I've seen this happen so many times in real life like two people are having an argument/fight and an idiot comes in out of nowhere and all it does is make things worse.
