Price would need to be quite low for Zegras.
7 goals and 18 points in his last 45 games over the last 2 seasons. He's 23 now i mean can'T really pay the price of a 60 points player for him at this point in time.

Demidov is a HAB
He's soft as shit. Zegras ship sailed moons ago and was never a legitimate option.
If you look at his injury history in Columbus, whether it was from an elbow injury or an ankle injury, he always came back earlier than expected. And no injuries with us have ever been repeated. So I won't be surprised if he starts in the game against us on 11/27 in Columbus.
I'd say this has pretty much always been the case with him, he comes back early. And it also shows for the first few games. I remember we were all saying he came back too soon last season from the concussion because he was struggling in the first games back, and he was just coming back to his own when the shoulder injury happened.
If he was still a CBJ player, I would prefer his start only in middle December.
Agreed, the Habs are already too soft, let's not make it worse

So it appears, a slight case of Yakupov syndrome I guess. Seriously though Carlsson is also ass right now, they need to do something at some point.
Anyhoo.. let's hope Laine can get it going again or we will be in the same boat and at a higher pricepoint lol
If Laine can come in and play the remainder of the season at a .75 PPG pace (ie. 60 per 82 game clip), it will have a huge impact on our top two lines.
Losing him before the season started took that soft breeze we had in our sails away. We are firmly in the doldrums at this point. The only place to go is beyond the horizon.
Ahoy matey.

So you know him?
Because I have seen him quite often at our rink, he’s a very serious hockey junkie… furthest thing from a clown truth be told
He’s simply not a good fit for the Verbeek / Cronin hockey philosophy

I think it's extremely optimistic to expect that kind of pace. He looked like he needed a lot of time to get readjusted to the NHL pace based on preseason, and now he's ever further behind.
His career average is about .8. I think he can get back to that, but agreed, it may be a little optimistic after so much time off.

I think we should learn our lesson from thinking that Dach would easily replicate Monahan's performance if not do better. Pretty much need to look at next season to properly evaluate Laine.

Honestly surprise he is even skating, and even more that he seem so comfortable on the ice. But I don’t want to see him rush back all we need of him to get back after Christmas and avg .5ppg maybe have a little progression to .6-.7ppg toward the end of the year just so he can end on a very positive note have a great off season and maybe go back to be close to .8-1ppg next year.
We need momentum from Laine, Demidov maybe even a UFA to really change or a little luck in the lottery to really change the trajectory.
