Quoting: ht42
Kovy over Lindstrom
Monahan over Roslovic
Hutson will likely start in the NHL
Maybe sign a good free agent for the 2nd spot of the LW (my target will gonna be Stamkos)
Caufield - Dach - Slafkovsky
Stamkos - Suzuki - Bennet
Newhook - Monahan - Anderson
RHP/Ylonen - Evans - Gallagher
Guhle - Barron
Hutson - Savard
Xhekaj/Struble - Matheson

I am not there with you buddy. I just don’t think Mtl are ready to sign players yet. 2025-26 is the target in my opinion. If Monahan would sign a 2 years deal i would be ok to bring him back but anything longer then that i don’t go near that. I think that Hugues wouldn’t commit long term. He already been public that he will try to built with under 25 players. You can’t commit 4-5-6 years to a 30 years old guy’s when you aren’t even near the finish line.
Also for Kovacevic, he is obviously better then Lindstrom and for that the return is much greater. Also Lindstrom is more of a assurance policy here.
Lane Hutson might very well play another season in NCAA.
I am the biggest Hutson fan. I do believe he will be a impact players but like Adam Fox, he need to become a man. He need to get stronger and still need to polish is defensive play. He got better at positioning himself and using is sticl but it’s not there yet. Also with Matheson doiinh well, MTL isn’t in any rush.
Hutson also talk in a interview that he would like to play another season with is brother, and that Celibrini and Eiserman would want to team up to get that championship.
But 2024-25 will be completely different. Habs will be adding Helenius, Hutson and Reinbacher. Also Suzuki, Dach, Newhook, Caufield will be older and better. Now you can start to add a costly free agent. Defensively Guhle Barron, Xhekaj, Struble won’t be rookie. Non of them have a 100 games yet.
