Disagree
Tortorella wants michkov to play sustainable nhl level hockey

When you’re the last man back and do a fly by in the defensive zone in game 50 which is a 0-0 game you’re still not getting it.


Rotenberg for all intents and purposes appeared to be benching demidov for non hockey reasons

Philly is not a contender like the Habs, you let the youth play and make mistake. There is no need to bench them and work on it during practice. I would be livid if MSL benched Hutson because he commits mistakes.

Hutson makes plenty of mistakes
I very rarely see him make low effort careless plays however


The two players are nothing alike

Too far in either direction is no good. The Habs have been criticised for having little accountability and little structure.

 

[morhilane]

Oh Torts, always gotta enforce the "accountability". The team sucks & is f***ing boring. Let the kid play.

Hutson would have been benched a dozen times over with Torts as coach, I swear.

It's the lack of effort that got him benched, I doubt we will ever see "lack of efforts" from Hutson unless he's dead tired on the ice.

Classless Briere removed Frost from the line-up mid game.

Wonder if he'll get the same flak that Gauthier got at the time for Cammalleri?

I haven't seen anyone mention it while reading comments about the trade so...looks like he won't until social media decide that he should, if ever.

Feel like Frost is going to make them they that trade.

Briere is already getting torched for the deal on social media.

 

[sampollock]

some posters on this board said before the draft we shouldn't pick Michkov and after the draft, those that did got shit for it as did the Habs scouting staff. He's had one incident with a ref already,

GREAT love affiar is over.... Michkov lol

the deal is bad enough people will forget the mid-game pull

Gauthier took so much grief lol -- as if that season wasn't DoA anyway.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Yeah, can't say I've been all that impressed with Briere so far. He definitely won't be high on my list of potential french speaking GM candidates the next time we'll be looking for one, although that should be some years down the road and Briere might have improved by then.

Yeah, it looks very bad for Philly.

I guess they REALLY needed to get out of that Farabee deal and REALLY needed that 2028 7th.

Bad for our Habs, Flames get better in the short term and Flyers, worst.

It's a pretty bad nonsensical deal. I kinda like Pelletier but he's small and doesn't have Caufield's skills. I mean Kuzmenko will turn 29 in a few days let's just say he's worth a 3rd round pick. That's Pelletier, 2nd, 3rd and 7th for Forst and Farabee this is pretty bad imo. Looks like a trade that was made cause the coach asked for those players to be out of the team or the players themselevs asked for a trade. Doesn't look like a trade that was made for the value of the assets returned.
