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

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.

 

[junyab]

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.

 

[GrandBison]

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.

Get Vincent Desharnais from Vancouver.

I really don't like how the team is playing 5 on 5. I think they need a fresh voice. We're just a bunch of confused players on the ice right now, doesn't really matter who's wearing the jersey with the exception of a few.

@WeThreeKings are you still mad at me or are we friends again? This is the thread to get it all out it appears

If youre friends with him, ill have to cancel our podcast.

He gets very angry and quickly. The podcast is still on !

How many seasons of kid hockey coaching does he have? Maybe he’s ready to take the reigns from Marty

 

[Andrei79]

What projection? You went into something that was none of your business. Even Andrei79 laughed at my comeback cause he's a good dude. But you decided to make it a thing. Typical Karen on a plane move. Maybe you should ask to talk to the pilot?

I'm sure Mr. Hughes would like to talk to you while his plane is going down.

Honestly, I had nothing against your initial post. I just found it to be an easy target/low hanging fruit for my degeneracy.

Guys, no hard feelings. Let's direct our anger towards the right people, Sens fans, Shane Wright, long necks and degenerate mods like @MarkovsKnee (no ban plz) .

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Also I was Hugues id stop trading for those 21 year olds players that can't break it in modern hockey.
Newhook Dach Barron

Dach was a high risk high reward, never know how he pans out. Barron/Newhook we knew right away because Sakic sent them our way. As if Kent is coming out on top, with a HOF player/gm and his evaluations on the other side lol.

 

[Shred]

There's a difference?

Grillo deals with coaches, coaches deal with players.

 

[Habssince89]

Thanks you brought a lot to this conversation.

And you did? Going on about soy in 2024 is embarrassing for you

I honestly never got the Robidas hiring. The habs have probably the best young D in the league, they need an experience coach to teach them. Also MSL need an ex NHL coach by his side like Gallant for example, I know Hartley is done coaching but he would be a great assistant to MSL. If he gets outcoach in everygame this team will never win

 

[Andy]

Next move is to wait it out. Demidov will join the team next year. We will have a better sense of where the flames pick lands. Armia comes off the books. Hutson is going to be a year older.

Try to make a big move in the off-season.

The coaching staff has been their Achilles’ heel since the beginning of the rebuild, definitely a head scratcher and will go down as Gorton and Hughes’s biggest mistake in the rebuild plan.

A lot of hires in the Montreal Canadiens' organization are political, there's no 'getting' it for a lot of it unfortunately.

Why would Gallant accept to be MSL assistant he is 10 times the coach MSL will never be
