Description
I feel like this team would still have a lot of question marks... on defense in general, lack of a proper PP QB, in net... but, at least at forward, this is a seriously well rounded lineup as long as Slaf and RHP can produce. This team should at the very least be a lot more competitive than it is this year, while it works out the rest of the kinks. If they're performing well, perhaps they try to get a better goalie or defensemen at the TDL. I wouldn't waste assets on it just yet until you see how this lineup unfolds to start the year.

Stanely is largely a throw-in with the PLD deal, primarily in case Edmundson gets injured, or one of the younger players struggles. I imagine Barron or even Mailoux will get some reps, especially considering how left-handed this dcorps is. For fun, I added them to the roster. It was a bit too painful to watch too many MTL games this year, but I do believe Goul-ee and Harris and Arber are all better than Barron, right now, anyway. The problem is too many lefties, but such is life...

I considered signing Gurianov, but I don't know if it's worth it. I am also a DAL fan, so I just have barely any confidence in the guy. There are too many wingers on this roster as is to have another one lying around. I think it's best to set him free to a team that can play him in the top 6 where he can hopefully find his game. I can't imagine the other UFAs returning, unless Monahan somehow gets magic surgery.

PS: I started this team a long time ago, I don't know why I gave Goalfield and Pizzafetta 5 year terms haha... too lazy to erase it and start over, so sub in different terms as needed.

    Winnipeg still wants to compete, Going to take more than just the 17th OA pick to get PLD and Stanley.

    Slavkosky Sucks, bro move him down


    I don't think he sucks, but having him play in Laval for the year would be more beneficial imo..... the Habs are exactly going places next year. Give him a chance to play major minutes, get used to the North American game and gain confidence.

    Now for more:

    With some more than minor changes coming in Winnipeg, moving on PDL is in the wheelhouse. But......

    1. The Habs have zero use for Stanley.... far too deep on the blueline imo. I get you have concerns, but the skill and youth the Habs have in the backend need to play to gain experience and get better.

    Further, if Winnipeg is going to move PDL, I think you are adding Beck at the very least. A straight up first that is mid pack probably falls short.

    2. Hoffman to Chicago looks obvious, and a move I too have looked at. The question here is whether the Hawks feel they get a player they can flip at the TDL for a decent asset. Although I say yes, I wonder if at $2.25 million (knowing retention is totally happening) the Hawks do better than a 3rd or if they do better being a broker.

    They have to make basement, so it makes sense, more the retention issue, which maybe the Habs take on knowing they are moving much else off the roster using a retention spot.

    I know this seems counter productive for the Hawks, buy they have the option of a series on 1 year deals to get them to floor, so greasing a wheel maybe a good idea.

    Ok, thanks for telling me your opinion.

    I do think they should give him some time in the minors tho, it will help him improve his game.

    He isn't ready for the NHL level yet

    This is what I love about Hockey fans. On one hand you have Dubois a perennial 60-65 point player up to this point that every habs fan thinks is worth next to nothing. Yet when Suzuki comes up he's oh so much better and worth oh so much more as a smaller perennial 60-65 point player.

    In any event if it's just picks and prospects coming back. This years 5th overall, Florida's 17th overall and Justin Barron.

    I honestly don't see Dubois endeding up in Montreal though, if the fan base is a reflection of how much the organizantion would value him. He's yet to say he doesn't want to play in winnipeg, also he never said he'd only play in Montreal should listen to his end of season comments "There's lots of fake stuff thrown out there in the news".

    If he does want to be moved if the habs go about nickle and diming Chevy for the price and Dubois for the contract, a team like the Panthers will swoop in and offer him more money and less taxes.
