My question is where does a 5 ft 9 ,175 lb C /W gonna fit in the Habs future lineup?

Lots of room….

For now we have for big forwards…..

Dach
Anderson
Gurianov
Slafkovski

Hypothetically we sign Dubois and draft Fantilli

Then you have the not “big” but Solid Suzuki

So 7 of the top 9 guys are lets say no pushovers, they can dominate the ice of their choosing.

I’m easily fitting in one of the most lethal shooters in the league in Caufield and there’s one more spot for a smaller player with fight and vision and that’s Farrell or RHP.

As long as those smaller players are well insulated, it’s not an issue….

No question in my mind, in your lineup scenario, I'd rather have Ylonen play every night, since he's NHL ready and may be part of the future, than Hoffman, who will be gone at the end of the year.

But, imo, since it's hard to justify sitting a player who's better currently for one who's worse, Hoffman needs to be moved to prevent that, because it potentially could be the case. Trade him 50% retained or buy him out, or trade him for a former NHLer with an equally bad contract who's been buried in the AHL.

No way I want to give up assets or cap space to move Hoffman for little return, in order to 'make room for' a support player.

Farrell is not competing with RHP. Farrell is competing for ice time with Hoffman and Gurianov, RHP with Pezzetta and Ylonen. We can have both.

The plan is for Ylonen and RHP, who came up due to injuries, to go back and help Laval win a Calder Cup if they can. That would be a good experience.

Next year, both are waiver-eligible and will fight for their spots in camp.

Think sending RHP to the AHL sends the wrong message.

Guy is working his butt off and producing….let him finish the season here and send him down as the season comes to an end.

RHP is playing with Hoffman and Suzuki….that ain’t changing…..for now

Farrell has proven nothing while RHP has showed us that there’s true potential.

They can battle it out and may the best player win.

This hottake was brought to you by WAH - buy a Hyndai and go WAH like Mark Scheiffele

Caufield - Suzuki - Slaf
Farrell - Dach - Gurianov
RHP - _____ _ Anderson
Heineman - Evans - Ylonen

Then we see what we add to this with trades, free agency, other current prospects panning out, and the upcoming drafts.

Dvorak? Hoffman? Gallagher?

Hoffman's already taking up a lot of cap space. If we trade him at 50% retained, we could actually gain capspace

We were discussing a rough sketch of the future core. I would prefer all those 3 not to be apart of the future. Though I wouldn't mind Dvo as a winger/injury replacement center...

Gally imo should be bought out in summer 2025, if he isn't on LTIR by then.

That's how I see it, and it's also why I liked the Dach trade from the outset. There was no comparable center with skill and size at 13 at the draft when we got him. I'd like to see HuGo pull another one of that kind, for a combination of size and skill. Asking a lot probably.

Farrell has played with pro and against pro players already at least twice at the Worlds and Olympic Games last year. Possibly, all of them bigger than him.

As McGuire apply pointed out on Melnick’s show the other day:

“every single prospect coming into NHL has some weakness, even Crosby was terrible at faceoffs. For Farrell it’ll be his weak board play that’ll need to be worked on & refined over time”

He’ll simply need to be paired w a big body like Anderson capable of complementing that weakness says Cpt Obvious

Gotta imagine they want him around the team asap.

Really doubt he plays in Buffalo tomorrow and seems low against Philly, but after that he likely plays
[/QUOTE]
I'm anticipating that they want him near the team and coaching staff to give him time to prepare for the NHL and the play him Thursday against Florida where we'll also have last change being at home.

Thats my hope at least as Im going to the Thursday game. :laugh:

huh. i know this is the Farrell thread but Harris seems like such a nice and well-spoken guy. he didn't have to give elaborate 1 min long answers. the median sentence length for players answering reporters is probably like 5 words, then stop, wait for next Q from reporters :laugh:

The exact same thing has been said about Matheson and Dach. Hmmm
