Can you imagine if prime Price and Subban were on this team ? It almost me makes me angry thinking about it.
Imagine for a moment that the Calgary pick is Matthew Schaefer. Holy f***. we got Patrik Laine and a 2nd and we only gave up Jordan Harris. Beers a flowing fellas!!!!
Our draft capital is in tact and we walked away this summer with Demidov and Laine. Motherf***er I love what we are doing!

If Hugo had taken over instead of Bergevin back in 2013, we'd have won a cup already.
I still believe in Anderson more than Dvorak and I like the speed Newhook brings at 3C.
We could ice three solid scoring lines and have a 4th responsible line, as follows:
Caufield - Suzuki - Slafkovsky
Laine - Dach - Anderson
Roy - Newhook- Armia
Dvorak - Evans - Gallagher
....Pezzetta and RHP
It really upsets me how we wasted pacioretty price subban markov
100%. No doubt in my mind
To me bringing a guy like Laine is to make sure a guy like Dach and Roy get to there Potential. I would go for the following lineup:
Caufield, Suzuki, Slaf
Roy, Dach, Laine
Armia, Newhook, Gallagher
Dvorak, Evens, Anderson
Once a while switch Roy and Anderson!

I don't know Marc Bergevin personally and this is me being an armchair psychologist, but there is no way in hell I think he'd do this. He'd have looked at the situation and perceived Laine as talented/lazy/egotistical. Bergevin just never seemed to be fond of this type of player.
The Gallaghers of the world (love the guy but he's a certain type of player), he opened the vault to every time. Your Markovs, Radulovs, Subbans, etc, guys with skill (and maybe a little ego to boot)? Nah. You had to fight for every dollar/year you got and even then, he'd look for ways to get rid of you.

I can't wait for the cheers he'll receive at the home opener.
When Demidov comes over the habs will have a real top 6.
Great job by KH. PL will prove all the doubters on here wrong.

Why would you flip him if you right the ship on a guy who can score 40 goals and 70-80 points? We need that lol what “haul” are you expecting? A player who can score 40 goals and 70-80 points?
Nobody makes his teammates worse like Anderson…he’s truly elite at that. I’d have any other guy there including half our AHL roster.
Brilliant trade!! Top 6 Sniper plus open defense spot and a second from a weak team!! Our man Hughes is a Wizard!!
Not at all. Like Kent said it's not a contract they negotiated.
Best case scenario Patrik proves himself and then takes a team friendly because Montreal is his happy place.

Suzuki > Crosby now. So Sid can play wing.
Mtl has a lot of happy places. Should be no problem.Not at all. Like Kent said it's not a contract they negotiated.

That bottom six is putrid. If they want to compete next yr for a playoff spot, Dvorak needs to go. Armia turned it out after getting demoted. Anderson needs to play physical. Evans and Pezzetta don't cut it either.

I've had a few discussions with posters who claimed bringing in a player who makes more than Suzuki. Would disrupt the cap structure that HuGo has in place.
That would be amazing lol
Lol when you're happy Kev. The Habs board is happy.

The main factor too is it's short term. If it was long term the excuse of didn't negotiate it wouldn't work. I don't think Laine will resign personally because he's probably looking for his last major contract after this one so if everything goes relatively well for him, expect a 8 year 9 mil contract from some team in the southern USA lol

The funny thing is. Since I'm old, I'm watching him with that thinking. "f***, I'd be up all night pissing".
Dvo needs to go. Try Beck instead. Out of this group, his presence is a non factor, just a body they ice. Armia needs to pick up where he left off and Anderson will have to play physical. Evans and Pezzetta, upgrades are required.
No Brainer deal for us. Harris was expendable with Ghule, Matheson , Xhekaj, Hutson playing the left side . Cap space is not a factor for us this year . It’s a great gamble. If it works , we got a top 6 player with seize and got paid for it. If it doesn’t work, he’ll be tradable next year with only one yr left, especially with 50 % retention.
Our top 6 is quite unproven. But there is a lot of talent
Slafkovsky- 1st oa
Laine - 2nd oa
Dach- 3rd oa
Suzuki- 13th oa
Caufield- 15th oa
Newhook- 16th oa
Coming up: Demidov 5th oa
We haven’t had that much talent and draft capital in our lineup since I watch hockey (20 years). It’s exciting

Anderson is one of the dumbest players in the league and should not be anywhere near cerebral, high end talents. I think Anderson is best used as a simple up and down winger who uses his speed and size to create his own chances. When he is motivated and playing with energy and confidence he is a force irrespective of who his linemates are as he does not understand how to play with creative linemates. Just put him in the bottom six and tell him to keep it simple and intense.
Dvorak is criminally underrated by Hab fans as he is much smarter than Anderson as well as having better hands, playmaking skills and defensive acumen. Dvorak knows how to use his linemates and is very good on the dot and has the potential to be a very good 3rd line center.
I wouldn't be shocked to see Anderson up with Dach as he is grossly overpaid as a 4th liner but I think it would be a mistake. It is a long season with injuries and performance certain to create havoc in the lineup so anything is possible but imo Anderson is simply not a fit in MSL's system. I am not a believer in his ability to thrive in the system and I am not confident that MSL is crazy about giving up on changing him so you can see where my apprehension lays.
Hopefully I am proven wrong as that is also a better possibility than I care to dwell on lol.
