HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: Off-Season Edition

[Boss Man Hughes]

It's annoying. The two significant jobs they had coming into a rebuilding team was to revamp the development and, more importantly, the scouting. I'm not confident in the scouting. You can't go into a rebuild while missing all of your top picks.

They haven't missed any top picks yet. And most of the 2nd and 3rd rounders look good to great.

Ditto. Seems they just rushed into it. Why they kept Lapointe is beyond me as well.

Indeed. The imaptience & rush to judgement taking over lately is hard to understand.

Because Lapointe & Hughes go back 30+ years? Or Gorton was the one to get Lapointe to have Bergeron live with him during their Bruin days?

So HuGo trust him to do the job because they know his capabilities?

So good ol fox hole nepotism? Noice.

 

[McGees]

How about those Sabres.
Just give us Benson for Allen already sheeesh.

But you’re confident in the development? Have you seen the 1OA’s development?

 

[NotProkofievian]

Bobby Brink keeps on truckin. 8 points in 10 games.

 

[DAChampion]

That’s how life works - leaders hire “their people”… that includes Gordie Clarke who headed scouting when Kreider & Sheshterkin were selected

The truth but not the whole truth.

Yes, people hire their friends, but they also make new friends over time, also the best people often have the highest quality friends.

But you’re confident in the development? Have you seen the 1OA’s development?

It's comical but they might be nailing everyone but Slafkovsky.

Hutson, Reinbacher, Roy, Beck, Mesar, etc are not being rushed. Barron is being handled well as well.

 

[salbutera]

Didn’t realize Pens hired Trent Mann, who ran Sens drafts since 2017 - Drake Batherson, Tim Stutzle, Brady Tkachuk, Ridley Greig, Shane Pinto and Jake Sanderson

It's bizarre and worrying, to say the least.

Lol... TSN has an articles on whether Leafs are suffering from lack of toughness... But... but... Reaves?!

Is he their version of Georges Laraque? Does he have the code?

Habs circa 2013-2014 George Parros experiment - overreaction to Sens playoff loss

I saw something last week where Reaves was like the worst player in the league advanced stats-wise. Even a thought guy is useless if he can't keep up with the play.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Wow.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Arber ended another goon

Enjoy the wino Reavo ~~~

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Wow.

But can he hold the puck behind the net and stare intensely?

 

[George Lebay]

Steve Dangle melting down is always a treat. (not saying he's wrong here but still funny)

Bobby Brink keeps on truckin. 8 points in 10 games.

Who cares though? Really

 

[NotProkofievian]

Who cares though? Really

Pretty much just me and @Mrb1p the rest of you are all cringe normies who have yet to be Brink pilled.

 

[Mrb1p]

Brinked up.

Wow.

I bet he wouldn't do that against actual REAL pros.

Have you heard? The KHL is like the 9th best league in the world now.

Who cares though? Really

Why don't you care about young talent flourishing ? Its literally the best thing in the sport. Infusion of talent is the most exciting.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Wow.

Shane Wright 2.0

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Pretty much just me and @Mrb1p the rest of you are all cringe normies who have yet to be Brink pilled.

Hey-oh!
