What do you expect from the Habs after the break?

0-26-0
Lottery win
1st overall pick .
Come to Mtl Schaefer baby vient voir mon oncle

All good, except I'd get Martone

 

[Leto]

Hope we lose every game , Although something like 4-20-2 would be acceptable for me

Faut se noyer pour Desnoyers. That's the tank slogan.

Ha! I wish, he's going to be a stud #1D in this league.

Et vient t'assir sur ses genous

Faut se noyer pour Desnoyers. That's the tank slogan.

I'd much rather have one of the top 4.

Hage will probably be a better center anyway.

I expect more suck.

 

[ReimanSum1908]

Losses, exceptionally poor performance from the usual customers absent any signs of improvement, Hutson shining through struggles as player fails to take advantage of his dominance, even as he slows down due to a lack of experience with the NHL grind, diminished returns from Suzuki and Caufield attributable to the accumulation of wear and tear from the season, inconsistent but overall solid goaltending, a top 5-7 pick that will be squandered.

Caufield often shines at the end of the season. He finished with 8 goals in his last 9 games last season.

There are what — 6 games to play before the trading deadline?

I imagine Hughes will be selling upon the team resuming play which means a further downward slide.

Which will certainly lead to improvements next year!

Can’t wait for 2026!

I expect a better performance from the forwards, specifically Slaf, Dach, Newhook and Laine.

But we will still lose a bunch because we can't sustain the loss of Guhle.

And the loss of Heineman apparently. Though I think both the losses of Heineman and Guhle could be mitigated better if we put similar players in their roles - Slaf where Heineman was, Laine where Slaf was, and Struble where Guhle was. Yes, Struble in for Guhle is the key drop off. But Struble is a gamer. See if he can't adjust in a defensive shut down role.

Not a chance if we wouldn't pick Schaefer we would pick Misa

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Idc about losing or winning , I just want them to trade the trash this team still has. No need to write that list everyone knows it.

So tired to see vet Players from Bergevin Era. They all suck , have no leadership and they anchor the salary cap

 

[SwiftyHab]

I expect us to go on a 15-5 run and I demand to shut down the tank thread

 

[habdynasty]

Not a lot, finish the season miss the playoffs and wait for the draft and free agent day.

Another pandemic coming? Bring it

Habs are poised for another SC run

 

[WinterLion]

#1. Trades at deadline - 4 players moved.

#2. Injuries - guys will shut it down and have surgery.

#3. Auditions - we will see a lot of Beck, Mailloux, Engstrom and Roy

#4. Top 10 pick - I put the over/under at 7




Honestly I think it will be fun and they will compete hard.

Nothing

Expect them to keep, on losing, sliding down 4-5 spot in the standings and to trade at least 3 of the 5 ufa's

 

[dcyhabs]

I expect that the guys we are dumping will have little value, but will do much better once they are on a team without a huge media presence that has nothing to do but dump on them. Probably .500 or worse and, post lottery, probably 8th or 9th pick, solidly into lower tier players unless someone drops.

The team can play, at least sometimes, but they need to turn over a lot of players to win playoff series. Better D, better bottom 6, better second line.

And regret not picking the prototypical power forward once more?

I think not.

 

[habamillions]

Not good enough for the playoffs but not bad enough for a top 5 pick. So they will be the best mediocre team in the league
