Perhaps Hughes does not agree with the reports we saw here that Bellows is good in transition.
Still, I think he will do ok.

We're on the road and perhaps the thought is to create a second offensive line with Monahan and Dach together.
So someone else has to get a shot with Nick and Goal.

He’s garbage and would just take up a contract. Useless.

So, after 8 games, what do you think of Harris ?

Pitlick is a serviceable inexpessive fourth liner. Why the hate?
I actually like Pickles - it's more a testement to how I value Bellows

As of today, Habs no longer have priority on the waiver wire. Only way they regain it is if they fall down to 32nd place at some point.

At least we took advantage and acquired Kovacevic. Plus last year's additions of Montembeault, Pitlick and Clague. Nothing spectacular but some serviceable depth that seems to be working out

Sniff.. it was a fun ride at the top.. but all good things must come to an end lol
Thanks for Kovasevic, WPG!

he was so highly touted, what's up? I never followed him much but looked like such a promising draft pick. I see Philly grabbed him
Great junior player who never really adapted to pro play (apart for some sparks last year). He's an ok middle 6 AHL player.
If you cant make Philly forward lineup with all their injuries…

Sometime you get Barzal, sometime you get Bellows.

85% of the time you get Bellows… and odds drop right off the cliff as you go past pick 20OA, which is what deadline deals offer up

It's rumored that he has a bad attitude. If that's the case keep him far away. He doesn't do anything well on the ice anyways, last year was an anomaly. He's not Paul Byron.

I'm liking having Mailloux, Mesar, and Beck in the system. The more darts in that area of the draft, the better. Plus trading vets helps us move up our lottery pick. We did well with Caufield and Guhle. But I'd rather be top 5 or 10.

Sometimes you draft Zboril, DeBrusk and Senyshyn, sometimes you draft Barzal, Conners and Chabot immediately after.
I'll let myself out now.

Problem is we don't need any of those guys so having a guy that fits better would be pointless. It's like having two cars a BMW X3 2022 and a Tercel 1980 all black Hong Kong movies style but you need just one of them and replacing your secondary useless car the Tercel 1980 by a Civic 2000 with less rust because it's a better fit. Caufield-Suzuki-Dach Hoffman-Monahan-Slaf Anderson-Dvorak-Gallagher Bellows is not really a better fit than Hoffman for this year and for next year we have better prospects than him and there will be better options available anyway.
In the case of a guy like Monahan keeping him for the next 4-5 years is probably better than 15% of chances of getting an NHLer.

Demidov is a HAB
Yes, the Habs who are rebuilding should sign Monahan to a 4-5 year contract. Definitely no red flags on a guy with multiple hip and wrist surgeries going into his 30s.
