HF Habs: The Development Thread

[SakuKoivu11]

I’m excited for his future with the Habs for sure.

Here’s my ice time predictions for our notable core defense.
Bold are players who I think is NHL ready or should be on opening day roster.

1. Reinbacher 24-25 mins per game (1-2 years away from NHL ready)
2. Guhle 22-23 mins per game
3. Hutson 20-21 mins per game (physically fresh as he’s a smaller player)
4. Mailloux 18-20 mins per game (he’s matured greatly, he’s now a leader)
5. Konyushkov 15-16 mins per game (smaller frame 5’11”, 2 years away from NHL ready)
6. Xhekaj 14-15 mins per game (I think Habs shouldn’t over play him, he’s a bottom pairing)
7. Struble 12-13 mins per game
8. Barron Something about his game that is disappointing. Lack of confidence maybe.
9. Engstrom 14-15 mins per game (1-2 years away from NHL ready)

The AHL is a trash league filled with journeryman and low ceiling players. What is a future cup contending centerpiece of our franchise going to learn in the AHL with subpar coaches? How to be soft? How to avoid injuries? How to play with low skilled grinders? How to score on AHL goaltending?

What is not a trash league ?
