Why? Dach played really well before he got injured last season, he was the best player on the team, better than Suzuki.
Hey, I'd be happier with 40, too. I'm setting my baseline. Below 25 goals and his one-dimensional play probably makes him a liability.
More like he hasnt had a decent C since Scheifele. Suzuki, Dach >> Roslovic, Jenner. I`d also assume the 6 months away from hockey should have healed his body and mind. Well, we will see. Atleast he seem happy to get another shot.
Yeah, would make sense for them to activate the cap space and possibly turn it into several picks/prospects
It's also on Laine who has been playing a more well rounded game and trying to do more. Yeah it hasn't helped that he's been playing with less than ideal centers.
Looks like someone still salty from that spanking in the playoffs.
Pretty sure you're going to like it more hearing that this Harris is extremely well spoken and Habs fans have jested that he'd make a great POTUS in the future.
Can't say I've seen enough of him to know, I'm going off what CBJ HF posters say, though they've lost credibility with recent events.
Huh ? Wdym?
means nothing...his problem is upstairs in his head not in the stands
Honestly it's not a big salary. Potential goal scorers don't earn pennies and two years is just two years. Best case scenario: he scores tons of goals and is worth more than his contract. Worst case scenario: he doesn't play well enough and Habs move on. Of course there are cheaper players like Nick Cousins available but you don't get more than 10 goals from those type of players.
I think offensively, the center he plays with in Montréal will be better than the ones he had in Columbus even if Dach would somehow play wing.
Any player making $9 million towards the Cap has huge expectations, don’t kid yourself. In a Canadian market that’s just the expectation and look at Gallagher and Anderson for reference.
how would you define “working out” in terms of Laine in MTL? What #’s would he have to hit for it to be considered successful?
He had 0 chemistry with Voracek or Gaudreau. He needs a playmaking center and preferrable a big wing that digs the puck from the corners. Thats why it worked so well with Scheifele+Wheeler or in Finnish youth team with Aho+Puljujärvi. Suzuki+Slafkovsky would be the perfect option.
Yes but they have Harvey-Pinard (1.1m)and a few guy (sub 1M) they could send down(Hutson, Struble, Pezzeta, Roy) so there definitely a way to be cap under the cap day one without using LTIR.
He's no rookie and he's going to be as much as he wants to be.
It'll be probably be something like;
You hear that? It's CC crying...
I believe they will try Laine with Dach and Newhook at first. Dach is way better at distributing the puck than Roslovic and Jenner atleast. We`ll see how the pre-season will shape the lines.
