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

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

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.

Knowing this management group they’ll probably just promote Lecavalier to assistant coach

Right, Karen.

But he would never accept. He lives in Florida and doesn’t want to move his family back in Canada.

He coaches his sons elite hockey team in Florida and that team needs to travel far distances for good competition - he won’t move till kids are grown

I think bringing in a better defensive coach might help. Getting a solid vet for the bottom 6 who’s tough and solid defensively. Hopefully Laine returns soon and can produce.

I was in the “keep Matheson” camp, but I’m convinced they need to move him at the deadline. They do need at least 2 vets back there though.

I'd try and trade Matheson and whoever else is not in our core going forward for 2 tough defense-first all-vanilla d-men with zero flash. Guys like Hakanpaa, Dillon, Gudas, DeMelo etc. Get shored up defensively, add size and toughness.

How about preparing the TDL? They are out of the PO anyway.

Challenge for any rebuilding team looking to turn that corner and "be in the mix" is to acquire quality veterans. If they have options, they would most likely not sign with a rebuilding club.
