  1. Oh good!! Time to prepare Z-Mac for some centre duties so he boost his own value on the team! I wonder what the chances are like for Lockwood and Gadjovich to stick with the big club!!
  2. Lockwood can play C?? If he can, that would put a leg up in preseason!!
  3. Oh man... looks like JB wrapped up most of his work this summer.. all quiet now on the FA market haha... I doubt he'll dip into the FA market anytime soon to bolster the current roster as $ is getting tight to extend Hughes and Petey's contracts!
  4. Yes please!!! I like his size, toughness and ability to chip in a few points.. $2M should seal the deal?? JB do it!!!!!!!!!!!!
  5. JB said he would try to get another Russian guy to keep Podz company! So.. I am really curious if he'd do that... I highly doubt the fanbase here wanna see Guddy ever again... He's a nice sweet guy but just couldn't do a decent job defensively for us...
  6. Ya... I agree... better to go the trade route to pick up someone legit... wouldn't wanna put too much pressure on Gadj just yet.. he's still raw! You think JB will end up getting that Russian buddy as well for Podz?? Aside from Gusev and Anisimov... can't see anyone we can pick up on a cheap deal...
  7. Well..... he's still unproven though.. I didn't see much in him in his debut....but hope you're right though!!
  8. I wouldn't call our current defense group very weak defensively... Hamonic is solid.. Poolman is due to have a bounce back year... Juolevi just had his first season under his belt and should get better... Schenn is slow but he knows what he's doing and isn't shy to use his body... the only question mark is OEL really... but with a more positive environment, he can still turn things around at age 30!
  9. Guys, do we know if there are some big tough guys who can chip in a few points left on the FA market?? basically, I'm interested to know if we can bring in another guy to challenge Z-Mac!! The latest signings are all smallish type guys, i.e. Petan, Di Giusseppe, Dries... I still think we need one big body as extra cover to complement Motte-Sutter-MacEwen...
  10. wow... a 3rd round pick is a steep price to pay.. but he's a proven figher who strikes fear into opponents... that's something we've been lacking for so long!!!! ever since Brashear left us... >_<
  11. Don't forget Myers, Poolman and Dries can fight a bit too... but I do hope JB will pick up a big tough body to upgrade our 4th line a bit..
  12. This little guy is really underrated.. he's your perfect 4th line guy to stir the pot! He's basically our second Tyler Motte, even tougher but with less offensive skill... If any of the recent minor forward signings were to get a spot... it would have to be Dries! I rate him above Petan/Di Giusseppe.
  13. Still a bit early and JB is probably taking a breather now... Some notable names still available that maybe affordable to suit our needs: E. Staal, Bozak, Gusev, Anisimov... I'd be really disappointed if JB is done upgrading our forward group, expecting Petan, Di Giuseppe, Bailey and Highmore to compete for last couple roster spots!!
  14. Don't forget they also signed Jean Sebastian Dea too!! I'm guessing the fanbase has been hungry to hear more French interviews!! Drafting Mailloux was real stupid... it's just so wrong... how do u expect female Habs fans to react to this??
  15. True.... but can't be as bad as Fedor Fedorov who got fans super pumped that year...
  16. ya.. but did he get much of a chance there? Nope... he'd do a decent job for our 4th line...
  17. Oh man... gotta feel for the guy... he derserves to be in the NHL... look at his stats... he was producing at a point a game in 2018-19 on a +3 but we just let him go.... following season he did alright for the AHL Bruins, scored a point in his only game with Boston... didn't get to stick! was he really that bad??? I hope he gets to redeem himself in Columbus now!
  18. Ohhhh... I would have loved the Canucks to sign this guy for our 4th line if Sutter wasn't brought back... still young and defensively sound... plays C and wing.... basically a much better version of Chaput but also not doing much offensively!
  19. Just from the size and RH standpoint, sure we could have saved a $1M getting this guy over Poolman... but if you watch Poolman closely, he does offer more upside IF he can bounce back next season!! so..... JB is rolling his dice again hoping he can get some luck again with Poolman being a cheap version of Myers!
  20. I didn't mean like I really want Anderson but og well, let's hope Halak will do a better job than Holtby. I feel that JB isn't done... He'll try to find a big body or a Russian player to round out this roster
  21. We are so tight with the cap and could've grabbed a veteran for $1M... Halak will likely make $3M after easy bonuses... I really hope JB will find us a good piece for bottom 6 so we'll be pretty much all set!
  22. And there goes my favored Russian buddy for Podz... OK Anisimov is still available for JB to tap tomorrow!!
  23. And why didn't we sign him instead and save a few bucks??
