6 years? Seven?
Yeah i'm also wondering who is going to be mentoring these kids in practice , they all seem quite gifted offensively , its on the other side of the puck that they need some tips and tricks.
It’s exciting to get that absurd shot he has closer to the Habs.
I'm not sure that is a given, but why not? Reinbacher won't be around. Petry is gone. Savard is past being a 2nd pairing D, never mind a 1st pairing D that he never was.
Well I keep hearing rumours that they are really high on him and he will play sooner than later....so I'm basing it off of that , I really don't think he's ready defensively to play big minutes personally , but he has the size and weight to suprise and handle the physicality possibly
Yeah but, kid has been raised in the spotlight, shouldn’t be long before he starts barking at the door!
I was pleasantly surprised with how the D looked under Robidas myself.
Lol
(is he even involved with coaching at all anywhere? Also i know youre kidding lol)I thought he did a phenomenal job cobbling together that D.
I don't remeber that. I do remember Frankie Bouillion claiming that of all our Dmen he was the closest NHL roster ready prospect.
His body is surely NHL ready and I hear he has a bit of an edge, physically. I also don't think he is ready for big minutes, defensively, but, on a 9-game tryout, to be safer, he could also see ice time alongside Xhekaj on a 3rd pairing for those games and have a chance to show what he can do on the PP as well?
Having tons of prospects the same age has to be good for motivation. I’m outdated but I still feel pro hockey should be dog eat dog for the spots. Not a sport for push overs getting freebies.
A couple of things with this lineup. I don't like seeing Guhle playing the right side. Harris has done this in the past and seemed somewhat comfortable. We need Guhle to really settle in for the long haul and that's on the left side. Mailloux absolutely should not be in the NHL this season and maybe not even next year. He's so raw the extra seasoning will be extremely beneficial to his future. Barron had a nice end to the season last year and he should definitely be in the starting lineup when this season gets going. All IMO of course
He could beat out lindstrom that they just got
As most know here, I’m a huge supporter of Mailloux’s potential. Nevertheless, I still believe he’s at least a year away from being a contributing NHLer. If he can beat out Lindstrom this year, then the return we received for Petry is even more paltry than I suspected.
