HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024-2025 season

[Boss Man Hughes]

I wouldn't trade 4 draft picks for Jiricek. I don't think Waddell is that bad an evaluator of talent.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

He is pretty good this Michkov guy!!!

 

[austin316]

Michkov is better than Bédard.

Meanwhile we have Reinbuster

A lot of 2023 and beyond draftees are going to prove better than Bedard because *whispers* they have wheels

Michkov is a loser. Flyers are GARBAGE. Glad he will keep them mid pack and meciocre.

That loser will probably win the calder tho

Don't really care about individual trophies. He should keep them irrelevant for years. Unless important guys like Frost and Farabee get going. The Brinks and Forsters are 3rd liners on a good team.

 

[Kennedys]

Lehkonen with 103 pts in 138 games since the trade. That's 61pts/82games pace. And great defensively. Who we got for him already ?

 

[BozoTheClown]

Burns, Walker & Ghost were all -4 over the 2 games. Burns is 39, so the end is coming soon anyway.

Orlov - Chatfield is their best defense pairing by far.

It’s odd that a team ranked 2nd in the standings get spanked 2 nights in a row by the same team.

In another dimension: why the **** does Vigneault keep that black hole Lehkonen on Suzuki’s wing?!?!

EA sports will release an update

I really liked Lehky when he played for us, but pretending he's magically the one that got away when he went from playing with at best a much younger Suzuki and Caufield to Mac and Makar is revisionism. The value at the time was fair.

 

[HuGort]

Don't know what the package is but unlikely the wild have anything we couldn't have matched for Jiricek.

Wild can have Jiricek. Done these types of trades many times they rarely work out. All you doing is throwing your first round picks away for somebody else junk. Ie, Drouin, Dach, Newhook, Barron.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Michkov will score 100 points in this league at some point.

But top 4 RD are like super valuable, hopefully DR can get there.

If Reinbacher becomes one of the top4 dmen in the league, I think we can live with it. That's the plan, right?

Honestly, he is impressing me big time, obviously I know the kid is good, but he such a smart player and we'll rounded. The Sharks are a fun team to watch and will be competing before us. Kudos to them!

It's gonna be between those 2 i guess, my post was more to counter the ''loser'' comment than anything else.

 

[Whitesnake]

We had Brandon Hagel. At our development camp. And let him go.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

He signed with CHI in Oct of that year. I wonder if team offered him something

Yeah that'd be dope lol

I’m most surprised at Celebrini who’s looked better than Bedard.

Nope, only if Montreal manages to play deep and enjoyable seasons. I'm normally anti-Michkov but if you look back, I actually wanted him drafted. The reason being is 32 teams = 1 cup every 32 years per team so I am pro exciting hockey. 24 teams is my dream but 34 is way more likely.

Michkov is providing exciting hockey right now, so Reinbacher had best contribute to an exciting team. I don't mean that as criticism of Reinbacher, but of management.

He just keeps producing, which is exactly what this team has lacked for decades. Time will tell if they made the right decision, but it's not looking good early on.

 

[Whitesnake]

Fire the guy who is more determined for us to NOT pick Michkov. Not recognizing that kind of talent is criminal.
