I think he has a point and you people should apologize.

Yep. For years it was always 'but they're not available'... they always were. There's always talent available. But you have to be willing to do what's necessary to acquire it.
If Hugo had taken over instead of Bergevin back in 2013, we'd have won a cup already.Can you imagine if prime Price and Subban were on this team ? It almost me makes me angry thinking about it.
I still believe in Anderson more than Dvorak and I like the speed Newhook brings at 3C.Caufield and Laine have played close to their entire pro careers as LW's
More like imo
Caufield - Suzuki - Slafkovsky
Laine - Dach - Newhook
Roy - Dvorak - Armia
Anderson - Evans - Gallagher
Pezzetta
It really upsets me how we wasted pacioretty price subban markovCan you imagine if prime Price and Subban were on this team ? It almost me makes me angry thinking about it.
100%. No doubt in my mindIf Hugo had taken over instead of Bergevin back in 2013, we'd have won a cup already.
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:Slafkovsky — Suzuki — Laine
Newhook — Dach — Caufield
Roy — Dvorak — Gallagher
RHP — Evans — Armia
Anderson
Thoughts? Any changes? We obviously still have some fat to trim with Anderson, Gally, Dvorak, and Armia. I don’t mind Gally in a 4th line role because of his preference. I just wish he was making $2M and not $6.5M.
Do you guys think Beck could make the team and replace Dvorak at 3C? I would love to see that.
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.Yep. For years it was always 'but they're not available'... they always were. There's always talent available. But you have to be willing to do what's necessary to acquire it.
Laine said he can't wait to play in Montreal. He says he experienced hockey in Canada in Winnipeg and knows Montreal is 100 fold, that he can't wait.
Harris for a 2nd I can see. It's about even. But that's a lot of money for 55 points. He's just under 9m for 2 years. Going to take us out of free agency next year. Especially a guy injury prone, terrible defensive and coming out of abuse program.
Hughes must plan on righting Laine, retain half and flip him at deadline. Getting a major return,
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
Brilliant trade!! Top 6 Sniper plus open defense spot and a second from a weak team!! Our man Hughes is a Wizard!!Yep. For years it was always 'but they're not available'... they always were. There's always talent available. But you have to be willing to do what's necessary to acquire it.
Not at all. Like Kent said it's not a contract they negotiated.Oh no, there goes HuGo's salary cap structure.
Suzuki > Crosby now. So Sid can play wing.Demidov Draisaitl Slafkovsky
Laine Crosby Suzuki
Caufield Hage Dach
Future is bright
Mtl has a lot of happy places. Should be no problem.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.![]()
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.Caufield and Laine have played close to their entire pro careers as LW's

lol I should have added the sarcasm emoji.Not at all. Like Kent said it's not a contract they negotiated.

Lol when you're happy Kev. The Habs board is happy.I'm so excited to see Laine with Habs!!

Wow, Crosby is still miles ahead...Suzuki > Crosby now. So Sid can play wing.

The funny thing is. Since I'm old, I'm watching him with that thinking. "f***, I'd be up all night pissing".He has a big ol' coucher tard 4L milk jug full of water with him
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.I still believe in Anderson more than Dvorak and I like the speed Newhook brings at 3C.
