Reminds me of this ex-Hab who was just frustrating to watch:
I remember this gif, but I don't remember why the maracas?
Is there a reason for the maracas?

They came with the source image however, they do add a certain mystique to the GIF -- not to overlook how the maracas are one of the most disposable instruments, right up there with the musical triangle. As disposable as Bourque was.

Oh ok, I thought there was a specific thing with the maracas.
The Sergei Kostitsyn hitting the bongos gif is amazing as well.
I watched him at the World Championships he isn't an international player either.

For sure because he gives such an amazing effort night in and night out. Paying 150.00 to watch players like Armia is what I live for when I attend a Habs game.
You can't have 12 forwards who all make the fans jump out of their seats or make highlight reel plays regularly.
Armia is a guy who does put an effort, kills penalties, and chips in with offence at times. He is not the best at reading the plays and getting to open space, or he would score more.

If some posters got their wish and all these players disappeared before the start of the season, it would have a negative impact on the development of our prospects.
We'd be in rebuild hell like EDM was for years without any veteran support for the kids.
The only veteran that was mentioned as trade bait as Monahan and, given the widespread firesale in this original post, it's likely just an oversight?

Regarding Matheson, there is no rush. He's a late bloomer that appears to be only getting better with age and experience. After two more years, we'll only be touching on just how good Hutson, Mailloux, Engstrom or Reinbacher project tone.
If all goes well, someone will push Matheson out by the third and final year of his current contract, most likely at the trade deadline. However, that will be by being better, not just younger.
I see a scenario with Matheson signing a 3 year extension as a 31-year old and one with him being traded as a 30 year old in the final year of his contract.
One is not more likley than the other until we see how the kids progress.

MSL was playing Armia over 17 minutes a night at the end of the season, I think there're more chances that he starts the season with Caufield and Suzuki than hitting the waivers...

Patience.... Keep Petry until the TDL. That's when his value will be the best. I bet he will perform very well under MSL. 35-40 pts.... If so, he'll be worth a good pick 2024 or 2025... Patience.... Patience...

Slow news day on DansLesCouillesLisses?
J’ai le sentiment que Kent Hughes joue sa réputation en ce moment puisque chaque jour qui passe sans que la situation ne soit plus clair affecte la façon dont le Canadien est perçu ailleurs dans le monde du hockey.
One of their writers is claiming that Hughes is putting his reputation on the line on account of not taking a clear stand on how Petry and DeSmith will be dealt with.
Yes it’s been 8 days since the players were acquired and no official announcement was made, nor pressers announced for them. However, doesn’t mean things have not been going on behind the scenes. Hughes has shown himself to be very sensitive to player concerns since he’s been named GM.
I doubt Hughes is risking anything by waiting other than angling for the right deal. The players involved have been in the league long enough to know the uncertainties that could result from a trade where they were a means to an end and not the intended targets. It’ll get done, I’m sure there are good reasons why it has not happened yet.

I highly doubt that Hughes hasn't contacted them, if at least to say that stuff is in the works.
One thing I would say though, is that keeping both players makes sense hockey wise anyway.
I could see Petry thriving under MSL and DeSmith is an upgrade over Allen and maybe even Motorboat.

Contrast DLC w Pagnotta reporting Hughes was entertaining trade discussions for Petry 3-4 days prior to the transaction being announced.
At the end of the day it’s the skull & bones society, and they work to their own established “code”.
The only GM ostracized from that society in recent memory was Brian Lawton as TBay GM
- for going against the “code” vis a vis My cousin Vinny discussions w Gainey
