wrote the caufield didn’t score 40 because of his shoulder surgery. It’s not surprising to see you continuing to double down on this lol.
Anderson would be in the lineup even if Perron is there too. And Roy could still be in the middle six. RHP, Pez, Barré-Boulet and Gignac, not so much.
But this is not what Hughes has stated publicly. I believe his most recent comments were he recognizes that they're still in a rebuild but if there is a move that works and speeds it up then he would consider it, but not at the expense of developing our youth.Lol you're killing me.
Yes they're both still young. My point was he added young players who helped the team improve right way. Instead of waiting 2 or 3 years for the players we would have drafted. To become NHL ready. Also I never said rush, I said he sped up the rebuilding process.
I don't know what else to tell you. Adding Dach and Newhook, plus HuGo letting it be known that they're interested in adding a top 6 forward. Shows me that they're not willing to let the rebuild move organically. They are looking to make moves to speed up the process.
Yes, but some posters here wouldn't know a rebuild. If it jumped up and bit them on the ass.

With Pascal Vincent in the fold we have a great window into what makes Laine tick as a person and as a player.
You seem to think you go from rebuilding to contender in one motion. It doesn’t work that way, you need to add pieces as the talent grows.
I mean Pascal Vincent was also an objectively terrible coach at the NHL level in Columbus last year so his opinion on the matter doesn't really mean anything to me.
But if he is that bad as you say, it means we will get an even better pick in the next draft. Maybe that's what HuGo secretly want.
Sure. I don’t disagree. But it doesn’t have to happen now. If it does that’s fine, but the imperative does not exist.
Depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. If you’re rebuilding then I have no issue with it. Development is paramount at this stage.
Teams rebuild forever when they make stupid moves for expensive players and don’t follow through on the rebuilds. Pushing down players you’ve drafted only stunts their development.
Adding both Dach and Newhook did help speed up the rebuild. Without blocking the development of our youth.But this is not what Hughes has stated publicly. I believe his most recent comments were he recognizes that they're still in a rebuild but if there is a move that works and speeds it up then he would consider it, but not at the expense of developing our youth.
“We won’t do something for a short term gain at the expense of our long term plan. If we commit too long into the future to a [free agent] & end up blocking a young player from moving their way up then we’re doing a disservice to what we’re trying to accomplish.” - Kent Hughes today
Stu Cowan: Canadiens GM Kent Hughes smart to keep his focus on future
"As we’ve said all along, we won’t do something that will provide a short-term gain at the expense of our long-term plan," he says.
Yeah, that's what YOU want to do. You have no skin in the game. You're a fan on a prospects board, we get excited about that stuff here.
Nostrils isn’t great defensively, and he also isn’t great offensively when it matters
yes
No that doesn't make sense we know they made an offer for the veteran from Cap Rouge.
