Is the Rebuild almost done? POLL

[Habs]

Funny to think we may be further along with the rebuild if we kept Kovacevic, Allen, Romanov , drafted Leonard/Michkov and saved the Laine contract for the FA market. I didn't mind the Laine trade at the time, risk/reward was worth what we gave up, so I can't fault mgmnt on that one.

Well not funny in a 'haha' way, but a sad 'ironic' way. 1 step forward, 2 back?

Starting next season:

Slafkovsky - Suzuki - Caufield
Demidov - XXXXXXX - Laine

We need a real proven brand name 2nd line center acquired via trade.

Hutson - XXXXXX
Guhle - Carrier
Xhekaj - Reinbacher/Mailloux

We need a real proven brand name top line defensive partner for Hutson acquired via trade.

If they can make these 2 moves we will be a serious cup contender.


I would like to try Dach as our 3C next season

Suzuki
XXXXX
Dach
Beck

If I'm HuGo I'm offering a blank check to Rasmus Andersson (if he makes it to free agency, of course).

Are you popping gummies again???

The fact gummies were popped or not is immaterial. I stand by the statement. Bossy will be Demidov, Trottier will be Caufield, Suzuki and others by Commitee. Slafkovsky will be Gillies and Hutson will be Potvin. These players will grow into those roles. They are still green. The problem is our supporting cast stinks. It pales in comparison to Butch Goring, Nystrom, Tonelli, Langevin, Sutters, Morrow, etc… And obviously Billy Smith is still to be determined.

Great solution. Who's a good target at 2C?

Except he's not a UFA until the summer of 2026
