Line Combos: Lineup for 2024-2025

[Sam de Mtl]

Armia and Dvorak out after this year. Only Gally and Anderson wil be left plaguing us. 4 deadwood contracts is too many still. 2 will be more manageable in a depth role.

Bergy really went out with a bang.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

It's going to be ass.

 

[morhilane]

The line-up will look something like this:
CC/Suzuki/Slaf
Newhook/Dach/Roy
Armia/Evans/Gallager
Anderson/Dvorak/One of ABB/RHP/Pezz
One of ABB/RHP/Pezz as 13th player, the other one waived

Matheson/Guhle
Xhekaj/Savard
Struble/Harris
Barron

Monty
Prime

Manage hoping we got a lot of injuries again just so they can see what they have in Laval.

 

[Gustave]

If it stays like that, I’ll stay in the 2025 draft thread to keep up on our top 5 targets

 

[gusfring]

Terrible lineup. Top 3 pick incoming

 

[la25ecoupe]

Slafkovski - Suzuki - Demidov
2025 1st round draft pick - Dach - Caufield

Guhle - Reinbacher

 

[vokiel]

It's going to be ass.

Imagine Dach gets injured again...

 

[Benstheman]

Slaf-Suzuki-Roy
Newhook-Dach-Coco
Don’t-bother-listing
Bottom-six-players

Matheson-Guhle
Hutson-Savard
Xhekaj-Reinbacher

Bottom 10 lineup baring injuries

 

[overlords]

Imagine Dach gets injured again...

 

[CAUFIELD]

Last year of the rebuild. Hughes might add a short term top-6 player via trade or sign . Until then:

Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky
Roy-Dach-Newhook
Heineman-Dvorak- Anderson
Armia-Evans-Gallagher
Pezzeta RHP

Matheson-Ghule
Hutson-Savard
Xhekaj-Barron
Struble-Harris

Montambault
Primeau
This lineup should bring a top 5-10 pick. We will also sell Savard/Dvorak/Armia/Evans/Pezzeta at 2025 TDL. I see it like our Last year to get plenty of assets before starting to contend.

Since they aren't trying to win, did they drop ticket prices for this year?

 

[Aces on the road]

Fellows, it is not bottom 6, it is top 6.

 

[CAUFIELD]

No , provisions to pay for Slaf contract kickin in 2025 !! Haha

 

[MarkovsKnee]

If no changes:

Caufield - Suzuki - Slafkovsky
Anderson - Dach - Newhook
Roy - Evans - Armia
RHP - Dvorak - Gallagher
Pezzetta

Matheson-Guhle
Hutson-Savard
Xhekaj-Barron
Harris

Montembeault
Primeau

Struble starts in AHL.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

We'll add Laine hopefully, and if we do, I expect this:

Caufield - Suzuki - Slaf
Laine - Dach - Newhook
Roy - Dvorak - Anderson
Armia - Evans - Gallagher
RHP

Guhle - Matheson
Hutson - Savard
Xhekaj - Struble
Harris, Barron

Montembeault
Primeau

 

[Vachon23]

If no changes:

Caufield - Suzuki - Slafkovsky
Anderson - Dach - Newhook
Roy - Evans - Armia
RHP - Dvorak - Gallagher
Pezzetta

Matheson-Guhle
Hutson-Savard
Xhekaj-Barron
Harris

Montembeault
Primeau

Struble starts in AHL.

That’s far from a lineup that can make the playoffs

 

[Habs13]

Caufield - Suzuki - Slafkovosky
Laine - Dach - McGroaty
Newhook - Evans - Roy
Pezzetta - RHP - Armia

Gallagher

Metheson - Guhle
Savard - Hutson
Struble - Xhekaj

Barron

Motormouth
Primeau

* Savard gets traded at deadline; brings in Barron
*Evans gets traded at deadline, replaced by Beck
*Armia gets traded at deadline; brings in Gallagher

 

[Canadienna]

I don't think it looks that bad. Hutson and a healthy Dach will really help our PP I believe.

I'm excited for the upcoming season. I don't doubt they will be entertaining games.

 

[Michelangelo]

That’s far from a lineup that can make the playoffs

Does anyone really expect us to make the playoffs this year?

 

[Vachon23]

Does anyone really expect us to make the playoffs this year?

Hope not, but some seem to think yes

 

[Halakitlikethat]

Forward depth is going to be a real problem if they don’t add anything else. It would be nice to not see RHP or Pezetta at all.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Imagine Dach gets injured again...

Habs draft Demidov's little brother?

 

[Vachon23]

Forward depth is going to be a real problem if they don’t add anything else. It would be nice to not see RHP or Pezetta at all.

The 2nd line is not good enough either

 

[Essenege]

Does anyone really expect us to make the playoffs this year?

Depends where the bar is. There are 6 teams in the east clearly ahead. Without major injury I can see us finishing in the 7-8th spot ahead of 1 or 2 of NYI-WAS-PIT-BUF-OTT-DET-PHI. Although I’d favour BUF NYI in that group.

Expect is strong, reasonable hope for it I think is fair this year.
