Player Discussion Rafaël Harvey-Pinard

[Zilo44]

Even though he was scoring at an unrealistic rate, what impressed me the most was how he worked when he first got called up. Nobody worked harder which is why I was convinced he was going to be a good 4th liner for us. Last year all that compete was gone. I'm sure injuries didn't help but he played himself off the team just from that alone. Little surprised Hughes hasn't signed a 4th liner yet, maybe it happens sooner now that RHP is gone for a while.

They will let Heineman, ABB and even Flo Xhekaj fight for it IMO

I would sign Tanner Pearson to replace RHP on a PTO maybe

Oh dear

So much hate for this guy!! Unbelievable. I still see him as a 3rd liner on this team. A good depth player.

He's a borderline NHL player, not enough skill to play in the top 6 and not big or physical enough to play in the bottom 6. We have absolutely no need for these types of players.

Posters don't want us to be too small and lose in the playoffs because of it.

We already have Hutson, Caufield, and Newhook that are small. I can understand not wanting too many small players. But, we should all want RHP to succeed. Hughes will not keep too many small players if it comes down to it. So if RHP succeeds and we can't keep him, we'll trade him for some assetts.

Also, love RHP's combo of grit and hockey sense. Hope he can come back.

Pearson is cooked.

You see wrong.

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

You see wrong.

For now, that's where he needs to be. I take him over superstar Anderson.

I haven't seen one person hate on him. Everyone is having a rational discussion about his limitations as a player and how this long term injury impacts his future on the team.

Yep just because we don't see a player being a longterm solution doesn't mean we hate him.
Facts are facts- the Habs are too small as it is and RHP is small and has borderline skating abilities. You are not winning 4 playoff rounds with 5'9 average skating 4th liners.
