HF Habs: The official 2023-2024 tank thread

[Gustave]

Ooh hot off the press:

Play like a Weeny for Celebrini
Guys don't win...for Eiserman
Season is a write-off for Demidov

Now do the Dmen.

 

[morhilane]

Now do the Dmen.

Habs are so going to end up picking a dmen again if they don't win the lottery.

 

[JuJu Mobb]

We draft DemiGod.

 

[Adam Michaels]

So I might be forced to start posting desired results as early as November this year with the way things are going.

 

[Ezpz]

So I might be forced to start posting desired results as early as November this year with the way things are going.

Now would be fine I think we've already imploded if last game was any indication of a Dachless Habs.

 

[yianik]

I thought we were better than we are, we are not, with 2 losses of Dach an Ghule the main focus should be a top 5 pick for a forward, no other way to go about it

Make that a forward who is a centre

 

[G0bias]

As much as I want us to finish low enough so we get the best possible pick, you can't tell me that it's discouraging that with 79 games left in the season we are already done.

Interest to tune in is practically gone. What's there to root for? Newhook taking the next step? Caufield scoring 40?

Bring it!!

This is setting up to be a doozy of a season!

 

[ReHabs]

This is probably the last year until all the Habs elite-very good prospects make the jump so hopefully another top 5 pick is in the cards

Whom??

 

[The Great Weal]

Whom??

Reinbacher, Hutson, Mailloux, Roy

 

[montreal]

Reinbacher, Hutson, Mailloux, Roy

Gorton said they expect Engstrom to come over at the end of the season.

I wouldn't say 100% that Hutson turns pro, with Eiserman incoming next year and the fact he still has a lot of work to do physically, it wouldn't be a bad thing if that's the case but we'll see what kind of season he has.

 

[WeThreeKings]

All Gorton and Hughes has said through the media is they know they need to add more offensively talent. So stop it with the tired memes that weren't funny in the first place.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Price is retired. Should not count.

I'll start with the tank slogan :

"Une gang de pied de céleri pour Celebrini".

Numbers from the last two seasons included Price. Weber too, before getting traded.

 

[LaP]

Habs are so going to end up picking a dmen again if they don't win the lottery.

It depends where they draft. Top 3 there's no chance they draft a dman. If they draft 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th it could make sense to draft one of the RHD like Silayev, Levshunov or Mews even though Catton looks good so 4th probably not. Too soon to tell obviously next year top 10 will be a bit like 2023 there will be 3 guys above the rest and after that some very good ones but not as good.

Numbers from the last two seasons included Price. Weber too, before getting traded.

Two years ago he was not retired yet he actually played 5 games. Last year it was not 120% clear he was and he was still around the team so fine. This year it's crystal clear his career is over and he's not with the team anymore in any shape or form. It's over time to move on he's not an injured player if it was not for his contract he would have officially retired.

Ooh hot off the press:

Play like a Weeny for Celebrini
Guys, don't win...for Eiserman
Season is a write-off for Demidov

Losin for Macklin
Failin for faux-yzerman
Play like a fraud for Demigod

 

[ReHabs]

Reinbacher, Hutson, Mailloux, Roy

Mailloux and Roy are not elite prospects, come on.

 

[The Great Weal]

Mailloux and Roy are not elite prospects, come on.

The poster said elite-very good. Joshua Roy is most definitely a very good prospect as is Mailloux.

 

[ReHabs]

The poster said elite-very good. Joshua Roy is most definitely a very good prospect as is Mailloux.

Okay that makes sense to me, I misunderstood. I thought highly of Roy too. I think he’ll have a good season in the AHL until he’s called up.

 

[Scriptor]

Okay that makes sense to me, I misunderstood. I thought highly of Roy too. I think he’ll have a good season in the AHL until he’s called up.

Impossible to be wrong with that prediction. Once he is called up to Montreal, his production in the AHL will surely nose-dive.

 

[ReHabs]

Impossible to be wrong with that prediction. Once he is called up to Montreal, his production in the AHL will surely nose-dive.

I mean I expect he will look good in the AHL and merit a call-up! I’m long on $Roy!

 

[Scriptor]

I mean I expect he will look good in the AHL and merit a call-up! I’m long on $Roy!

I understood. I was kidding.

I also expect Roy to get call-up after prolonged strong play in the AHL, especially as the injury bug begins to hit the lineup, both in Montreal and in Laval. Hell,I was sure he would get a call-up by trade deadline, even if there were no significant injuries to mention.

This should make it easier for the call-up.

 

[ReimanSum1908]

Mailloux and Roy are not elite prospects, come on.

Not even "very good" prospects. Roy tops out as a third line specialist if he realizes his potential, and Mailloux has far too many holes in his game, and has lost too many games critical to his maturation, to be considered "very good," even if I am rather high on him.

 

[The Real Timo]

f*** seriously? Next game is not till saturday? ... on the other hand... after what I witnessed agaisnt Wild maybe it's a good thing.

I 'spose no news on Guhle... although again... not like there goign to be any good news.

 

[Habbietat]

maybe there plan from the start was to be a heap of garbage for 4-5 years with limited improvement, pick up projects early, fill the D, still suck enough so coming into the 3-5 years you can pick up offensive talent on your way up

wishful thinking

 

[Jabba11]

So, the tank starts again?

I hate this so much. Last year was so painful finishing with the 5th pick.

Can we just have Berkly Catton and call it even?
