Habs were last overall. They’ve been passed by everyone. It’s just the shear stupidity of passing on a sure top two centre to take a guy with serious bustaroo potential. Then the trade giving up their best D (who is only 21) for a guy who is already busting. Incredibly stupid. Habs fans must be suffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not just the lineup changes. Montreal set a record for man games lost last season at 731. They had to dress 43 different players. That’s 2 completely different teams. They lost an estimated 33 points due to injuries. A healthier team combined with the lineup changes and a full year under MSL should yield a much better result. I’m not convinced they’ll be a playoff team. But they should be much improved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No excuses. Cup final to beating out a team who actively tries to add all the worst talent they can in AZ for LAST the following year.

The things I mentioned were legitimate issues this past season. Also, Romanov is far from their only young defender. They have several guys ready to step in. Guhle, Barron, Harris, Norlinder and Xhekaj. Guhle and Xhekaj are both big and very physical Edited July 9, 2022 by qwijibo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a long stretch where they were down to their 3rd, 4th and 5th string goalies. Add the brutal coaching thst saw Caufield score 1 goal in 25 games before his production shot up under MSL. Like it or not Montreal got hit by some terrible circumstances. None of it by design. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 Gotta say, I like these moves(mostly) that Hughes went for. Habs got 2-3 yrs of onerous vet contracts to work through; but most of the ugliest work is now behind them. By 2024-25 they should be back as a serious PO-presence. Timeline appears very similar to the Wings & Sabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then gave up their number one (21 year old) D for another bustaroo in Dach. The Habs sure are going backwards. Actually Alf, see it the opposite. Slaf is more the 'artsy' pick, although his bod is nothing resembling lil' Denis Savard. Wright seems more of the Wickenheiser mold, of solid, supposedly 'responsible' fwd. Y'gotta like a kid with the potential nickname, Slafs-quatch! :^) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Can't help wondering, would Mtl accept PLD for Suzuki, straight-up?

Be interesting if they then signed him to an identical contract I would hope not. PLD can be lazy and entitled. Suzuki never takes a shift off. He’s likely their next captain. I know who I’d rather have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
