Hoglander>Dach tbfYou’re comparing Poolman and Hoglander to Guhle and Dach? LOL
You can disagree my proposal but dude… your way off base yourself.
but Guhle is in a tier of his own

It's not a comparison, it's a directly insane proposal to rebut an insane proposal.You’re comparing Poolman and Hoglander to Guhle and Dach? LOL

I can’t say if -36 -30 or -40 is the stat? I like Jake, but he didn’t play well last year & threw the balance off creating a 3rd goalie rotation The goaltending was visibly off last year. Most Habs fans know what elite goaltending looks like going back to the early ‘70’s.There is no possible justification to state that 20 games of Jake Allen cost MTL 36 goals.

IMHO, the Habs goaltending will be much improved this year.
ps no to trade for both sides……Xhekaj has massive potential to be a 3rd pairing anchor with much needed tuffness!
keep an eye on Boston College G Jac Fowler’s play, he’s tracking toward bluechip prospect.
When was the last time I made a proposal?
I never said we needed a 3C. We could use a right handed center and especially at the 4C position considering Tocchet’s preference on having Suter play wing. And Xhekaj (or any other left handed defenseman) would be much needed depth on the left side that currently has Hughes, and two injury prone defenders in Soucy and Forbort.
What I offered is definitely an overpayment after reading some other peoples criticism, but I find it adorable, honestly speaking, that you still have this weird obsession of trying to find ways to attack me whenever you can, even to go as far as to lie. But looking through your post history, it seems attacking others is pretty much all you have to contribute.
good ol main boards keyboard warrior
MTL got great goaltending last year from lower pedigree guys. They combined for 27 GSAx. I'd expect the goaltending to be WORSE next year based on goalie volatility, not better.
Jake Allen was fine last year.
The problem was you had one of, if not the worst defensive units in hockey, as well as one of, if not the worst penalty kill in hockey
The last proposal I made was a year ago. Anyways, think I’ve indulged you enoughI don't keep track of all you're proposals, the ones I see are usually pretty bad dude, sorry, but they are. Lopsided for us or the other team. You also don't seem to understand team needs either, constantly, I am certainly not the only one who notices either.
What am I lying about? LOL you do make bad proposals frequently on here, if anything you can say that's just my opinion but you can't say its a lie. I find it adorable that you can't tell the difference.
Not even gonna address you looking up my post history other than to say LOLOL
Again, what level are you expecting to improve to.Continuity of a two man rotation will be beneficial for all three of these goaltender's. Look at Jake’s play in New Jersey? His stats improved when placed in a comfortable rotation. Goaltending 101
Do you believe Samuel Montembault and Cayden Primeau are going to be a top 5 goalie tandem in hockey next year?
Arber Xhekaj played 15 minutes a night (and spent time in the AHL) as a dman on one of the worst dcores in hockey.
The ice time and coach trust argument doesn't favour Xhekaj.
No chance is that my position!!! I never even implied they would be close to top 5.Again, what level are you expecting to improve to.
MTL got 25 (I checked the exact numbers, was slightly off, although also took off score and venue adjustments when looking at the team vs individual goalie numbers) GSAx last year, which ranked them 9th in the league.

So MTL was trying to play youngsters by choice and STILL didn't trust xhekaj enough to play him more than 16 minutes a night of incredibly sheltered minutes? Wow- I don't think we have the same understanding of the "ice time argument".
- Xhekaj avg 15:56/game, you were a minute off in your attempt to compare
- Xhekaj was a 6-7 dman for Montreal, spent ~1/3 of the year in the AHL.
- Habs had one of the youngest D's in the league, by choice.
Nucks equivalent would have been Juulsen (13min/game), whom Xhekaj got considerably larger usage than.
Dmen take longer to make & establish themselves in the NHL vs fwds. They are the same age, Xhekaj is at 95 NHL games... Hoglander is at 220. Pretty obvious which player is closer to a finished product... Let's see what Xhekaj looks like at 200 games.
Lol... Yeah, I see your confusion, but honestly I'm not sure I can help you. I'm sure there's a thread somewhere you could go find to get help understanding player development approaches.So MTL was trying to play youngsters by choice and STILL didn't trust xhekaj enough to play him more than 16 minutes a night of incredibly sheltered minutes?

If MTLs goaltending produces middle of the pack results that would be a significant downgrade from the goaltending MTL received last year.No chance is that my position!!! I never even implied they would be close to top 5.
I simply stated with the rotation being solidified this year the Habs goaltending duo will have better results this upcoming year…..if they’re middle of the pack great.
Except they've thrown young Kaiden Guhle into the fire.Lol... Yeah, I see your confusion, but honestly I'm not sure I can help you. I'm sure there's a thread somewhere you could go find to get help understanding player development approaches.
Exiting the rebuild!!??? Have you seen the roster lately? Do you remember the division they're in? They are currently more likely to pick top 5-10 again in 2025 than appear to be exiting the rebuild. (I know that things can change before the season starts)We are exiting the rebuild. A late 1st is nice, but it's not what we need right now. We already have plenty of non-blue chip prospects.
Hoglander doesn't fit what we need in a top9 player based on our current core and prospect pool.
Are my numbers inaccurate?This is a prime example of a homer post
If only hockey was played like it was shown in the Mighty Duck movies.Without Xhekaj the Habs would get ragdoll.
And i can wait to see him play with his brother, these 2 on the ice will scare the shit out of players
It was his first postseason, in essentially his first full nhl season. He worked his way up to the top line which happened to feature a useless EP40 at the time.Where did that player disappear to in the post season?
I'm sure his regular season goal total had nothing to do with being on a top scoring (6th) roster... Tocchet must not have got the memo that Hog was driving that scoring rather than riding on the coatails when he decided to reduce him to 10min/g in the playoffs.
Then again, at 12min/night in the regular season, doesn't appear the coach had much confidence in him in the regular season either lol
