Man, if only we had Price now with this core. He truly never had this type of offense in front of him.
But Carey Price fans said we couldn't rebuild because Carey Price so...

Habs legend Steve Ott says it's not!Hope it's not a cursed number!
Yeah,i'm sorry i dont agree . I think MSL will put him in a position to succeed and those numbers ^ are realistic . Better Coach , way better environment for laine to play hockey , i think he can do it .
I had my doubts a few weeks ago about The pressure he would have to play for the Habs , but i think St-Louis will make it work .
Called it.Is he gonna wear 92 since 29 is retired? Remove the stench of Drouin?
As we let the team leave for no return and had 10 mil in open cap space. What an absolute gong show.But Carey Price fans said we couldn't rebuild because Carey Price so...

Imagine if Hugo had come in back in 2013. Young Max, Subban, Gallagher l, Price, 3rd overall pick, Markov coming back, Jagr wanting to come here… we’d have won at least one cup. No doubt in my mind. The difference between having a plan and not having one.
I kept saying that mentally he might not fit and he should come cheap.I am at the lake poor service
So happy I kept asking for Laine
Not to be a knob
But how many said KH would not trade for him
I was right for once
Miracle comeback in 25-26 as Price goes for a last dance run in 2026I dunno..
Still signed 2 more years![]()
Its not inconceivable that the 2nd round ‘throw in’ turns out to be the most valuable piece in this transactionThis feels like a Bergevin trade only in reverse. The 2nd rd throw in was the cherry.
I dunno..

Yeah... like another Subban!Its not inconceivable that the 2nd round ‘throw in’ turns out to be the most valuable piece in this transaction
RespeckAnd most importantly.. no chance in hell HuGo would've hired that chain smoking POS as head coach.

I’m curious to know who they would have hired at that time. The list if candidates wasn’t bigAnd most importantly.. no chance in hell HuGo would've hired that chain smoking POS as head coach.
Considering the habs suprised with MSL, odds are it wouldnt have been anyone on any list at the time.I’m curious to know who they would have hired at that time. The list if candidates wasn’t big

I actually think we may end up with this in the next 2-3 seasons (If Laine hits)With Suzuki, Caufield, Dach, Slafkovsky and now Laine penciled in the top six, Demidov and Hage on the horizon, 3 first and 4 second round picks over the next two years and the possibility of Hughes securing additional elite offensive talent, both Newhook and Roy are long shots to be top six forwards on this emerging team. That doesn't mean both can't be important contributors on the team, just not in the top six. If they are, we have grossly over-estimated the potential of the talent assembled and that about to arrive.
It's funny that even a number as obscure and random as 29 is retired in Montreal.
Picking numbers here is like throwing darts blindfolded at a grid of 100
