His walking boot was seen at the airport?Obviously he wanted to stay with the Habs , which is good .
No complaints, good contract, likeable teammate. Good job, Hughes.

I have all of the memes/bookmarks in queue for that night.I think some people will be Cwazier when we don't draft Michkov and we don't sign PLD. A lot of them are double dipping.
While I agree with this, at some point it becomes about asset management.We also have Heineman who looks NHL ready & should be given a chance on 4th line.
Yes Dach played very well some nights but the problem was a lack of talent with him. He needs to play with talent as do Nick and Cole. Which is why I preface it with until we fill out the top 6. We are not yet deep enough talent wise to try and spread it out IMO and that is also very obvious with our PP. Play our 5 best and let the second wave be players who have earned the icetime in the game.This is all true, but Dach changed over the course of the season. He started out at C and was pretty meh. Then he was moved to the wing with Nick and Cole and took off production and confidence wise. Then he went back to C and was a great C, even outplaying Suzuki on many nights.
Imo, Dach has emerged as a C. Suzuki-Dach-Monahan give us 3 good two way C's ensuring our young wingers get to play with a good offensie C. It's a great scenario imo.
Dvorak will turn 28 this year. He has 7 seasons under his belt. He has never scored 20 goals or produced 40 pts in a single season.Caufield - Suzuki - Dvo
Slaf - Dach - PLD
RHP - Monahan - Anderson
Gallagher - Evan's- Ylonen
The few times I've seen dvo on the wing he was a nightmareCaufield - Suzuki - Dvo
Slaf - Dach - PLD
RHP - Monahan - Anderson
Gallagher - Evan's- Ylonen
if he starts on the 4th line he wont last long there hes a top 9 player
Interesting observation. Eller certainly was never comfortable on the wing.The few times I've seen dvo on the wing he was a nightmare
Dvorak will turn 28 this year. He has 7 seasons under his belt. He has never scored 20 goals or produced 40 pts in a single season.
Even if he has the occasional hot streak, he doesn’t belong on a top line. RHP should more promise.
Dvorak with Monahan and Anderson could actually be a decent 3rd line. Mo and Anderson would drive the line though.
I hope Slaf can adjust and play on the 2nd from the start but I think he needs to be shuffled between the AHL and the NHL for a while, untill the game slows down for him.
Gallagher? Dvorak?If we get Dubois, the forward group is looking quite good
Caufield - Suzuki - Dubois
Slafkovsky - Dach - RHP
Farrell - Monahan - Anderson
Heineman - Evans - Ylonen
Armia, Hoffman

NTC kicking in july 1st, i would trade him no matter what the return is. The fit wasnt good with the Habs, lets move onDvo has no value now. I think he could get his production up playing with offensive players on the wing, and then we trade him.
Nice signing!
Gallagher? Dvorak?
How did you manage to make Gallagher disappear?
Even if he's in Farrell's spot I think it's a good group.
That's... a weird definition of "quite good".If we get Dubois, the forward group is looking quite good
Caufield - Suzuki - Dubois
Slafkovsky - Dach - RHP
Farrell - Monahan - Anderson
Heineman - Evans - Ylonen

Speculation on your part?
How do you figure this had any relevance to PLD? I don't see the connection, personally.
Dubois is a top 6 forward and Monahan a #3 center so explain how this signing means anything about PLD
I somehow doubt we are. He was given enough opportuntity to show he can be consistent he just can't.He'll start on 4th & move up when injuries strike, but we need to make room for him. I actually hope we're not bringing Gurianov back.
Dvorak has been in the league for years GMs know what he his playing him on our top line for a short period to boost he stats wont change nothing aside from him taking the spot from someone who deserves it moreI think it makes perfect sense to get his production up and then trade him...
You are almost certainly right that Gallagher won't start on the 4th line. But hopefully he gets outplayed by the young guys and ends up there - before he gets injured and then we don't have to worry about him taking up a spot in the top 9 anyways.
It's fine if we take a 2nd or 3rd and move on.Dvorak has been in the league for years GMs know what he his playing him on our top line for a short period to boost he stats wont change nothing aside from taking the spot from someone who deserves it more
I dont believe the HF fans who swears hes a cap dump but hes not worth much i would take a 2nd/3rd and move on
