HF Habs: Out Of Town Thread: 2026 Play-off edition

[dinodebino]

Depending on who the sabres replace tuch/Byram with they may just be back to wildcard status.

Not expecting Pittsburgh to be a playoff team right now.

Not sure what Ovy has to do with the Hawks lol

lol, big brain fart. I think I read Wash earlier in the thread. I might have responded to the wrong post too.

McDavid getting paid two million dollars more than Alex Tuch while producing twice as much.

McDavid is getting lucrative endorsements deals now and for the foreseeable future even after his hockey career is over. Tuch does not have that luxury.

Connor is going to pick and chose his way to a Cup after this season and will probably pull a Hossa.

My God Buffalo is a disaster. And that Tuch contract is ridiculous. I hope Washington crashes again. I'm so tired of them hanging around.

McMichael is probably better than Kyrou at this point.

 

[Habs]

Tuch averages one hit per game. He isn't physical at all.

how does he measure up to our top 6 players in hits given, fights, PIM and pts? I'll judge from there

 

[LaP]

McMichael is probaly better than Kyrou at this point.

There's definitely a non insignificant chance he is.

He's about as physical as Jake Evans

Jake was ok in the ploffs tho

 

[CrazyBob]

Kyrou and Tuch eh. I guess Washington want to end Ovechkin career with a bang

I hope he does, he was very close twice.

SJS apparently were the finalists w Hawks in bidding for Byram… Grier has publicly stated they will trade 2OA if they can get a player 23-25 age bracket who can slot into top-4D.

Wonder if there’s a deal to be had w Guhle as the key piece for HuGo to get 2OA - and if they’re inclined to do so?

Doesn’t prohibit going after 2C & top-6W in anyway

KH needs to be on the phone ASAP about this.

Guhle?

Apparently yes

Buffalo walked away from Tuch fairly easy. Imagine there were reasons.

They need forward roster spots and they were not going to move from their offer.

 

[ExpatHabs]

Why would Benson sign that contract?

Good news for the Habs re: Demidov I guess

Seravalli believes it’s down to Habs & Wild for MacTavish w Habs offering up a deal around Dach. Plan B for Minny - Larkin Plan A

If Dach is the centrepiece I'll pay for his Uber to the airport

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Frick, if all it costs us as a centerpiece is Dach, I'll drive him to the airport myself, free of charge.

I dont like the idea of sacrificing 7 mil of cap space for years to come on a project. They better be sure he fills out as that missing core center if thats the plan.

It actually worries me that the habs might be dealing based on fomo emotions.

It would mostly be based on potential and the hope that MSL can bring him to the next level IMO.
