I'm all for trashing moves that hughes does that don't work don't get me wrong I'm not some blind defender , Dach Newhook and Barron aren't panning out but people act like these guys are the main plot and not the 5 year rebuild timeline the management team gave themselves

We are still 3 years away from serious contention if everything goes well.

Barron, Matheson and Primeau will need to go if we aspire at going far in the playoffs one day. Right now, they’re not taking seriously the growth phase of a rebuild.

Totally on board with that but very much doubt that Geoff Molson will stay the course that long (he’s been getting a lot of pressure from the low audience ratings from his broadcasters).
Nothing ever comes to fruition when Geoffy gets his dirty paws in the best of processes. Wouldn’t be surprised if he instructed his management to use that cap leverage next summer for quick fixes — and that would suck if it happened.
I think the frustration is simply due to the set backs that have been accumulating these past two seasons.
We would certainly feel a lot more confident if Dach was able to get a full season under his belt as a 2C.
Now the Reinbacher situation has hit another dissonant chord this season.
I did expect him to play NHL hockey at some point this year.
It's impossible to watch all this transpiring and not understand we've lost a year of team development.
I haven't even talked about Laine because I have a hard time believing he was in our plans.
Seriously there a very few people who saw the possibility of a tank thread this season.
It sucks.

True but they still took assets and gave them plenty of ice time. It looks like a complete failure at this moment.
I know about that , it's like I said . Rebuild or not we somehow get worse and . We should be trending up slowly.

Yes , as you can imagine , being the tank commander I am , I was against the moves at the time since I wanted a full blown through the draft rebuild , then dach and newhook played acceptably enough where It wasn't a big deal and they showed a bit of upside ,
This season tho its for sure not looking good for them , I don't think the jury is necessarily out on them just yet
Good old days!

Seems like Habs have random pieces taht perform better than other at random times. Never the entire team pulling in the same direction. Well... in the right direction.
Aaah... good times. Davey D! We need someone like him to right the ship.

I doubt he can even hear you with all that insulation material surrounding him.

You're the one fooling yourself if you think what we had prerebuild-wise is enough to build on without waiting for actual draftees to come in and develop. The core will be Suzuki, Caufield, Guhle, Slaf, Hutson, Demidov, Fowler, Dobes, Reinbacher, Hage, Beck, Mailloux, Heineman and whoever else we draft this year and if you notice among those names, only 2 are older than 23 and on the team. More than half our future core aren't on the team yet, and 3 of them who are on the team are only around 20 years old. You've been wanting them out of the bottom as soon as 2 years ago. You've been predicting them out of the bottom 5 since after the Slaf/Hutson draft. Maybe your expectations are whack.

The growth phase of a rebuild happens when your rebuild draftees join the team and develop further. So far there's only Slaf and Hutson and their development is doing fine.
You could look at the growth phase starting from the 2019 draft since the roster has CC/Guhle/Struble/Barron/Heineman/Dach/Newhook on it.
But in term of Rebuild management draft, it start with 2022.

They have to make everything they can to bring them at the right time and gave them time to adapt. I think Engstrom has a pretty high % to come up and have sucess with Habs at NHL level. Not sure anymore about Kapanen.
Remember that the only ones (drafted) that succeeded with Habs were Naslund, Koivu…. and Lehkonen.
