I think Kulak is more steady. Gus will bring more offense, but apparently he is a desaster in his own end. That’s why a prefer kulak.

Kulak has served us well, but he seems to be struggling at the moment. Merrill is steady and reliable, which is what you want in your bottom pair D.
I agree that I would play Merill before Kulak. But I wouldn’t play Gus before Kulak.

Merril just say in interview that he played the RD this year and he’s having his best year, maybe he’s more confortable on the right side what would be a good news

Merrill is in an Edmonton hotel room serving his quarantine. Habs are playing in Edmonton next Tuesday. So he should be available for that game.

I was about to come here to ask about that. They did it on purpose? Was wondering why he was in Edmonton lol
If he gets rid of the mullet and facial hair, he could be in Duran Duran.
A rougher looking version of another impressive redneck, Kyle Connor.

Yes. It was purposely arranged that way. Bergevin explained it in his presser yesterday. That the plan was to have Merrill and Gustafsson serve their quarantines in the city where the Habs will be when the players come out of their quarantine.
If they had them come to Montreal to quarantine, they would have to wait even longer before joining the team. Since the team will be on the road, if Merrill and Gustafsson would be in Montreal, they would only be able to travel commercial and that would extend their quarantine.
This way, they'll be where the Habs will be and thus simplifies it all. They just need to come out of quarantine and the team is already there.

I think Merrill in general will end up as a partner to Romanov is the idea

As I’ve suggested in another thread, when you play Gusto you pair him with a defence first partner like Merrill.
Or, as others have suggested, you also get him into the lineup as a 4th liner.

Connor looks more like a troll doll with AIDS.

So a reporter REALLY asked him about his hair?
Yeah, he did. And Merrill’s answer was stellar, but can’t remember it word for word. The presser is probably available on 690.
The guy is so cool and what struck me the most was how humble he is and how lucky he said he felt every time he gets to play an NHL game.
