Was saying that Kent Hughes took an L that Dach trade, just handed us a free first for that injury riddled bum


That was a win-win trade
Habs got Dach
Hawks got Nazar and enough points dropped in the standings to get Befart

bruh what do you have against Dach, it's not his fault Chicago was too impatient, nor is it his fault his ACL and MCL snapped.

Both teams seemed to do well there, assuming Nazar continues his play from this year, and not when he came back from injury last year.

Anyone have a clip of Strauss Mann (Habs AHL goalie) scoring a goalie goal in the middle of the game (from what I understand delayed penalty for the Rocket and Rochester accidentally sent the puck into their own net, goal got awarded to our goalie lmao)

The stupid thing was they had the makings of a good bottom 6 by means of

Smith-Eller-Acciari
O'Connor-Harkins-Nieto

But nope they went with a bunch of Fringe guys, Acciari, Eller, and old man Carter.

Acciari probs going **** should have stayed lul

Labanc should ask for a contract termination and go elsewhere. Like Zadina I think he will thrive

i'm guessing seravalli screwed up and instead of admitting he was wrong he said this instead.

Yea must have mistaken Labanc for Simek lul

But yea Labanc and their coach dont seem to get along and I think its best to find a way to move on

Would benefit both sides if you ask me

Thats why as I mentioned earlier a deal termination should occur to let him walk and go somewhere else.

And if Zadina can get 1.1m for 7 points yea Labanc could get something in the 1m range

For both their sakes time to move on

That would require him leaving almost 6M in actual wage on the table.
I would find it hard myself, rather just bite my teeth for the remainen season.

Zadina left 4.56m to do what he did and so far its looked good for him

Lanbanc should do the same. Its risky but if he goes and does well with his new team he could end up with a similar deal or potentially get more down the road.

Labanc has 1 year left, If i was Labanc, I'd ride my contract out and see what comes in FA, no reason to ask for termination. Zadina had 2 years left and Detroit wasn't going to use him, termination for Zadina made sense, it doesn't for Labanc
