Wow feels crazy to have Gallagher on the third line. Not necessarily disagreeing, but he's quietly been one of the best, and sometimes frankly the best, Habs forward after the last 5 years or so.

yeah but he need rest to play more efficiently , and when you coach the lines number aren't important, if your third play better that night, they will play more often

As I said I'm not arguing with the placement. Just seems crazy to see.

That Byron injury hurts. Can you place an injured player on waivers?? Or will he have to be healthy?? Will he pass last years 3 times on waivers. Should be an exciting season.

Good to see Price getting better. It didn't sound like he was going to make it leading up to the expansion draft.

Byron will be out till January so he’ll stay on IR to save cap daily I believe (instead of placing him on LTIR)

Nah. Since we already have Weber on LTIR, we can’t accrue cap space. So we might as well put him on LTIR and give ourselves a bit more flexibility.

For chemistry swap Lehkonen and Armia this will boost possession control on 4 lines.

would feel better to have hoffman and Gally with Dvorak. I don't know kinda feel Evans is the right center for Drouin to explode ... But if we were to be without Hoffman for few days I'd rather brought back Lehky Evy Gally to form a check line.

I would but Ducharme likes Armia like Claude Julien liked Lehkonen
