Our record before the deadline with Monahan 24-29-10Wideman did not play a single game last season. Was he even around the team, as he was placed on the injured list right at the start of the season?
Monahan will be missed, but I doubt either Pearson or Kovacevic will. In Monahan's case, it leaves the center position a little thin. That's why I don't agree with all the calls in this thread to trade Dvorak. He won't return much, only has one year left on his contract, and without him the Habs only have four NHL centers -- including Newhook, who should be playing the wing. Neither Beck nor Kapanen will likely be ready this season.
No winning team with a competent GM will take Anderson's contract unless we take an equally bad contract in return.Doubt they could take on the cap after they sign Shesterkin, Laffy and Miller.
I wouldn’t mind more BETTER vets. Vets who are still productive and good professionals to instil good practices in younger players and set a bar or excellence. Bringing in Crosby for example would be a huge add for the Habs and help show younger players his dedication and they’d listen to anything he had to say.Our record before the deadline with Monahan 24-29-10
Our record after the deadline without Monahan 6-7-6
The whole we need 10 trilions vets is probably the product of 30 years of mismanagement. Too much vets in the lineup is the last thing we want.
We have two vets in defense and it's more than enough. We have 4 vets in the forward group and it's more than enough. I like Monahan but the whole Moneyhand thing has gone out of control like the Tatah thing.
WE DO NOT NEED MOAR VETS.
I’m pretty sure our record was similar with or without Monahan and Dach likely plays more than 2 games to replace him. Wideman and Pearson aren’t NHLers, experience doesn’t mean anything here when they hurt the team by playing. We already had a very crowded defense so losing a #7 dman doesn’t mean anything either.We lost Monahan, Wideman, Pearson --> three very experienced players who were all 'good for the room'. Also lost Kovacevic, another 'good in the room' guy according to reports from the year.
Simply put they've not been replaced by similarly experienced NHLers or more talented players overall -- they've just not been replaced by outside talent at all. It's not the end of the world but I have a hard time thinking this roster that struggled with injuries, consistency, and playing defence, is ready to hit the ice in October and do notably better than it did last year.
I don't really think it's a disaster if they miss the playoffs but we should expect to see progress, competitiveness, and yknow higher-stakes later on into the season. The dead rubber games from January on are likely not very good for players' professionalism and growth either.

Previous chatter about Anderson....Why would the Rangers want Anderson?
What smoke? Haven't seen this anywhere.Still smoke surrouding the Habs/Rangers and Kappo Kakko...............could we swap Anderson for the kid??
Last season.......chatterWhat smoke? Haven't seen this anywhere.
Oh, it's because you said "still smoke...."Last season.......chatter
It was a question, not a proposal.....
Waddell was still talking like the demands were still in place. From this article.Just because Laine asked for a trade last season doesn’t mean he won’t back off that demand.
I expect Monahan’s signing + Waddell coming in, to have a significant positive change in mindset for the orgs players & staff.
I could easily see Waddell hold onto Laine, and try to turn things around w shift in positive culture
He is a air bagMr Peanut still talks hockey? Why bother Pee-Air.
