GDT: Leafs at Habs (Now, Friday)

[Adam Michaels]

Does anybody know how to pass?

A bunch of these guys are playing their first preseason game. And that is what happens when players play their first preseason games. They're rusty and their timing and aims are off.

And then you see that it's Armia and Gallagher, and they're timing and aim are off when their in mid-season form. So imagine them in their first preseason game.

oh yeah, forgot Domi is a Leaf now. guess we'll see him tomorrow

 

[River Meadow]

I mean we're all complaining ad nausea about Gallagher but it's a scary situation. I mean, he's f***ing awful. He never had much of a hockey IQ or much of a shot so I don't know how he adjusts his game now that he's lost his quickness and whatever is left of his jam and strength.
Bergevin should never ever GM again. That contract should be held up before anyone ever considers it again.
So what do habs do? can't buy it out now and can't trade without attaching multiple 1sts.

tbh his body is broken.

He will probably put himself on LTIR soon enough.

 

[FrankMTL]

All the vets on offence look bad. Armia, Gally, Evans…they suck man. Those vets won’t have any trade value ever, so why play them over overperformers like Roy or even Beck.

Also Mailloux > Barron for me…would start him.

Armia and Gallagher have had negative value for a while now....Evans is probably worth where he was drafted...7th rounder

 

[The Real Timo]

wow... i regret i found the link to the game... now I can't look away

Can he though?

Slow train wreck. Very slow. Gallagher slow.

 

[River Meadow]

Can he though?

He won't have a choice (hopefully)

"Those guys are so sofff... Trying to be the soffffessss D-corps in the league"

 

[Tyson]

It may be the most dysfunctional Habs game I have seen in years, pre season or otherwise

 

[MasterD]

He won't have a choice (hopefully)

I mean, can he? Can we?

He's not acutely injured, but his body is obviously done

 

[HuGo Sham]

Hugo's Hot takes through 2:

Barron ain't making the team, Mailloux has looked better - bigger, more confident but also needs time in the AHL to learn how to play better in his own zone.
Armia sucks.
Ylonin ain't making the team either.
I'd actually keep Parker jones around. Play him with pezzetta and Evans on a 4th line.
Primeau looked good for half the game. Glove hand too low on Knies goal, who btw, I'm jelly, as i wish our habs found a winger like him in the 2nd round. He's terrific. Better draft the f*** out of forwards with size next summer.
Arber, Harris, have both looked fine.
Beaudin stinks.
The vet group just looks lost up front. Anderson and monahan coasting (i get it)

 

[The Real Timo]

He will declare a body injury. not lower or upper... just whole body.

 

[HuGo Sham]

i don''t think so. He's in denial if this is the case

 

[ReimanSum1908]

Barron ain't making the team, Mailloux has looked better - bigger, more confident but also needs time in the AHL to learn how to play better in his own zone.

Not even a hot take at this point: Baron has played himself out of a spot in training camp two or three years in a row.

 

[Justin11]

I’m sure they will ice the better roster tomorrow.

This one is a snoozefest

 

[HuGo Sham]

Attach multiple first

i wish. We need those picks to find elite forwards

 

[26Mats]

Oh I agree,

it just would have been nice to have gotten a better... prospect, in the deal.

Newhook.

The deals with the Avs amount to Chiarot for a 1st then turn around and trade that 1st and Lehkonen for Newhook and Barron. Plus we'll probably end up moving back in the 2nd round when you compare the 2nd we gave them and the 2nd they gave us.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I'm not saying Parker-Jones is having a bad game. But I'm curious why they didn't play Kidney in his place instead. Maybe Riley will play tomorrow. But you'd think that they'd have Kidney play before Parker-Jones.

 

[MasterD]

Man David Alexandre Beauregard, I remember like it was yesterday. He was a very good junior, sad story

 

[River Meadow]

I mean, can he? Can we?

He's not acutely injured, but his body is obviously done

Yeah...

I mean,

I think he will get another big injury soon enough, that will keep him out for an extended period of time.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Not even a hot take at this point: Baron has played himself out of a spot in training camp two or three years in a row.

agreed. that give-away on PP goal was brutal. As some have mentioned, not all of these guys will actually pan out

 

[LaP]

Knies is the type of ELC contract you need when you are looking to win. We'll need those too so i hope we keep developing players even after the rebuild is over.

 

[MasterD]

Last 3 top 5 picks were Galchenyuk, KK and Slafkosvky.

I have more faith in out 2nd round pick at this rate

lol good point, but two of those were timmins / bergevin

I’m sure they will ice the better roster tomorrow.

This one is a snoozefest

for sure, but it's obvious from watching tonight..it's dach, CC, Suzuki and Slafkovsky ...maybe newhook
and a bunch of stiffs up front
