About Matheson... Petry became quite good at 28 too. This could be a hell of a steal if we basically got a younger Petry for a washed up one.

I know it's really early but he looks even better. Petry was smooth, but he wasn't overly dynamic and he had those slow dangles that were alwaya dangerous for takeaways. Matheson looks more involved, faster with his stick.

Agreed he looks better then Petry did last season but that's not a high bar...

When Petry was motivated to play he was really good, here's hoping Mike the Mat is even better.

Evans ruining the tank ffs

News flash: preseason games do not count in the standings.

Loving Matheson. Obviously not someone you’d want as a #1D, but a very good player. Seems like a perfect #3. The speed and the aggressiveness is nice.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Can't believe that Habs traded Romanov... and we still have Guhle, Harris, Xhekaj, Hutson, Engstrom, Struble, Fairbrother and more at LD. That's fantastic.

WATCH HIM AS HE GOES

And I just can't contain
This scoring that remains...

Well I described him as a left-handed Petry when we got him. He actually may be better i.e. more consistent defensively.

TSN reporter Claire trying to get as close to Evans as possible. Like Jesus.

Everyone wants Jake the Snake

We won the trade no matter what. Petry wanted out and played like shit last season.

This trade still surprised me because I expected Petry to be traded for cap space. Hockey wise this is a good trade.

We also gave up Poehling, who I think could be a good bottom six guy, but you're right about Matheson. He's looked better than I expected so far.

If Evans stays healthy, he might land us a 2nd round pick at the deadline. He is a versatile piece for a team just missing a penalty killer, that can win faceoffs, chip in offensively, and grind it out. He's a solid player.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Once you accept that Barron isn't the showy/flashy type, you realize he plays a pretty solid game. Just don't expect him to carry the puck a lot or do anything cool with it. He complements Materson quite well.

On a side note recently demoted Josh Roy has 2G 2A in his first 2 Q games

If you want goals, I'll just post Andrei K.'s interview every game. It's the second time the Habs score 2 in the following period after I shared the vid

I don't see any reason to trade Evans.

Why trade Evans? We can also use a guy like that...

I said the same at the time of the trade. When we got Petry he was at best a 25 point dman. It was the season when Weber started hurt that Petry really flourished, having to take on way more responsibility.

Perpetual rebuild baby.

If Barron develops into a top 4 that would be amazing.
He is a great skater.

Why on earth would you do that?
The first part of your post just doesn't match the second part lol

Great! Good for him, he was great at the WJC

 

[domiwroze]

I'm a big fan of Guhle so far. The kid is good, real GOOD.

 

[MtlSars]

If Evans can stay healthy, he's a lock for 35 points in the bottom 6. Can also play PK, he will need to improve his faceoffs but he's been a good player for the habs. The kid can play.

 

[Nedved]

For more picks, lol. I only follow the habs for the draft. My stanley cup is at the end of June.
