Recalled/Assigned: Justin Barron assigned to Laval, Mitchell Stephens waived (upd: cleared)

[MarkovsKnee]

Barron going down is a good move. Kid is too slow with his decision making in the defensive zone. It's just brutal.

I doubt they recall Xhekaj. This just puts Kovacevic back into lineup.

Roy looks to be staying for a bit. That's good. Kid has been decent. Pearson is probably back against Ottawa and maybe Pezz moves to center?

22 man roster

Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky
Roy-Monahan-Armia
RHP-Evans-Anderson
Pearson-Pezzetta-Gallagher
Ylonen

Matheson-Guhle
Struble-Savard
Harris-Kovacevic

Montembeault
Allen
Primeau

I’d prefer Roy in the AHL.

 

[Guy Larose]

Zegras incoming

 

[Team_Spirit]

Harris walked multiple times per game, pushed off the slot easily... Barron is sent down....

Okay, the tank is on boys

They'll send him down probably at All Star break. He deserves a longer look, but ultimately, we want him part of Laval's playoff run.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

We might not want to keep the 6 best dmen. For example, maybe Romanov is better than Struble, long term. But we were able to use Romanov to get Dach. So we may use one of the current 6 best as a trade chip.

They are not ALLOWED to trade Hutson though.

 

[themilosh]

Let's trade Money now and get down to 2 centres for shits and giggles.

When you look at the Regulation Wins, Habs are 6th worst, which imo is where they should be ranked for the draft. All these OT/SO pts are just hurting the final tank.

Harris needs waivers. Barron, struble and Xhekaj are going to rise buses as a result.

Kind of surprised they didn't just send rhp to get back to form, he's still waiver exempt.

Barebones roster makes me think a move is coming after Stephens clears.

Jesus what game are u watching RHP probably our more consistant player since he's back

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Bring ​

​

Dach​

​

Bach!​

It’s a black eye on this management for sure.

You really just have one of our best forwards only play 2 games this WHOLE year???

9th in points over that span, 8th in forward ice time. He was expected to be in a top six role to start the season and can't even crack it with the injuries we have. It's not too farfetched to suggest he should play a top six role in Laval for a week or two while Hughes wheels and deals rather than risk losing a center when we have no depth.

Who expected RHP to be top 6? RHP is a great third line player. A good defensive player and terrific penalty killer who can contribute from time to time on offense. Even when playing with Gallagher and Evans not exactly two offensive studs, his line controls puck possession and cycles.

Our top 6 to start the season was:

Suzuki
Caufield
Slaf
Newhook
Dach
Monahan

Who are you replacing there "to start the season". Monahan wasn't a center to start the season, he was shifted when Dach got injured. RHP is who he is supposed to be.

 

[OldCraig71]

Barron always looks like he is trying to make plays with a tennis ball instead of a puck, bobble-bobble-bobble.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

I am thinking they might get Kovacevic in as a regular and look to trade him at the deadline to clear room on D. This will let Xhekaj/Barron play a ton in the AHL, and maybe they just call up someone like Beaudin/Norlinder here to sit in the pressbox.

I have no idea why he's in the NHL, he's just awful

Why

I don't get why you think that's management's doing. You disagree with the trade, that's another story. I mean Dach has never played a full season in the league, ever.

If Harris didn't have to go through waivers I think he would be sent down. Very average player.

That's why he would be picked up quick

 

[Tyson]

Arber...quick pep talk...you are not a goon, you are a good young player who can scrap.
Pick your spots! Play hockey first.

 

[Runner77]

There we go.

Still leaves the Habs with only 3 Cs.

 

[larek]

Thumbs up on Jackeye

Therein lies the issue. He has battled injuries and can't seem to have any luck staying healthy and now he's recovering from a big knee surgery. 5 years in the league and only 212 games to show for it which has slowed his development. I like the way he plays but his body is starting to show the miles and he's only 23.
