Montreal's opening night defence group is.....

[Captain97]

We gotta remember that our top 2 dmen are both injured and with them we have a bottom 5 dcore.

So um yeah its pretty bad

 

[Canadienna]

Oh but you did.

They won the lottery but as they didn't move up in the draft order they did not use one of their "2 wins in 5 years"

Montreal could win the next two draft lotteries. This is fact.

I never said they couldn't. I said they wouldn't.

I legit think Vancouver's RHD is worse lmao. But Vancouver has an above average LHD corps.

Atleat we have more than one established top 4 defenceman unlike Ottawa enjoy Hamonic in the top 4.

Chabot and Zub is a legit 1st pairing.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

To be 100% fair theyd be at very worst #2 and #4 on the leafs

This is a very funny post after you came in this thread to predict bias against your favourite team

 

[CupInSIX]

Should not have traded Weber IMO.

Is it wrong?

In the AHL?

3/4 and 6 would have been more accurate.

 

[Mrb1p]

Maybe if we expect Muzzin to regain prime form

That is the accounting for 3 or 4. Rielly,Brodie, Muzzin/Matheson.

They play defense like you scramble eggs

 

[frapp10]

Should not have traded Weber IMO.

And what’s your reasoning for that?

 

[Canadienna]

Should not have traded Weber IMO.

Lol yeah he'd really improve this squad.

And we'd only have 20m in LTIR!

Hooray for trying to sign Caufield with that.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Lol. Embarrassing.

 

[Agalloch]

We suck.

 

[Mrb1p]

Lol. Embarrassing.

Literally every canadian D squad? Yes, absolutely.

The real question is how fast will the Bedard slander start around here? Hell go from the next Mcdavid to the new Patrik Stefan in a matter of weeks when the Habs start going 4 5 games with Ls.

Btw you can do yhe same thing for the offense or goaltending.

Bottom 3 in the league at all positions baby

Are we really so bad at offense and goaltending too?

For goalies - I dunno curious to see Allen go back to being #1 for first time in a few years. I think he could do better than expected. Granted not necessarily with that defense. But bottom 3 in league? Maybe, but I could see him quite a bit higher.

Offense....no idea. We do have some decent pieces like Suzuki and Caufield...and a lot of forwards with career low years who could rebound (ex Gallagher). Im not saying our forward core is good, but is it definitely bottom 3?

Yes its that bad.

Cc and Nick are elite, the rest willbe lucky to score 15.

15 months ago, they went to cup finals with Chiarot, Weber, Edmundson, Petry, Gustafsson, Merrill, Kulak, Romanov. All eight are gone. Wow.

 

[LevelingSolo]

Tell me your not intentionally tanking

Edmundson is injured and started skating today but everyone else is gone.

 

[ricky0034]

after reading those names all I want is for Arber Xhekaj to win a Norris

 

[Nicko999]

Will end the season with about 350 goals allowed... yep that bad.
