Thread: Agressive for playoffs 24-25
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ht42</b></div><div>He can bounce-back with the Habs and become a 70-75pts player for few season. He plays also on the Canes PK and he's playing phisycal also.

Big difference between him and Drouin : Drouin haved all the presure on him to perform because Montreal offensive deep was bad.....</div></div>

LOL, he had 1 season at 70+ points, 1 season in his 5 year Career, he would have to have had 1 or 2 at less than 70 to "bounce back" he is a 55 point player on the 5th best team in the league, you seriously think he is going to put up 20 more points consistently on the 5th worst team? His 70 point season is an outlier just like Domi's not his norm, I wouldn't trade more than like the 15th ova pick and a 3rd for him, he isn't better than Dach or Newhook and isn't even close to being as good as Suzuki or Caufield. He is a middle 6 winger who averages 55 points a year and he is gonna be looking for north of 7 mil, Necas is going to be the Canes next KK, a seriously overpaid middle 6er.

Thread: Looking towards next season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dekes</b></div><div>What do you think realistically would be his cost to acquire?
I wouldn’t mind him on the bruins.

Bruins need another strong LHD so lindholm can focus more on offence rather then defence. He’s been taking on a lot of the tough match-ups with mcavoy and doesn’t get as much offensive opportunities as he did last season.

I doubt they go back on Chychrun. I want no part of OEL personally Dillon and Gavrikov would be good fits for me next to mcavoy, they aren’t good transitional dmen but are solid once in the zone and mcavoy Carries the puck most the time anyways so not a glaring whole if they can’t carry the puck</div></div>

Realistically it's gonna cost at least what LA gave up but I don't think LA will be looking to move him (whether the op likes it or not) they are also in win now mode and need him on their blueline.

I know they are young but both Harris and Struble are great defensively and can transition up ice well. They are better suited to the bottom 4 so I wouldn't necessarily put either with McAvoy on the top pair but both could be had for about a 2nd

Thread: Future playoff team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MTLaveragefan</b></div><div>I agree, but the assets I mentionned (The WPG pick, the second round picks, the two 2025 first round picks, as well as the pick we will get for Barron, Harris, Matheson, Savard (so maybe two extra first round pick and a 2nd/3rd round pick), can all be used to pick up a decent RFA or notable "unhappy player".

Rather than wait in 2027 - I would love to see the habs acquire a Necas, Zegras, Jarvis, Quinn, Peterka, Wyatt Johnston, Rossi, Dylan Guenther (AKA a good top 6 RFA) - It just has to make sense in term of price.</div></div>

Necas is just a mid 6 player, not willing to trade for him at all, especially not at the prices Canes fans think he is worth.

My point was we should be acquiring a similarly aged player and not just adding prospects (you still have to add them too so that the well doesn't run dry) and pushing to be a playoff team this year not in 2-3 years from now

Thread: Future playoff team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MTLaveragefan</b></div><div>We'll have other prospect by then as well! Namely The WPG pick, the second round picks, the two 2025 first round picks, as well as the pick we will get for Barron, Harris, Matheson, Savard (so maybe two extra first round pick and a 2nd/3rd round pick) .


So, while I agreed that Mesar, Tuch, Kapanen, Konyushkov Engstrom or Barron are big question marks and that Harris and Barron are likely to be shipped out this year or the next, the potential trades and draft pick will 100% change the look of this team in the bottom six anyway.

Like - pretty sure we will get another top 15 picks next year that could end-up being another Caufield - this management has also done VERY well so far with later picks.

I don't think Dach is more injury prone that other... just terribly unlucky. What he showed last year was very encouraging and he had the best metrics offensively AND defensively of any forward on the team. And he is 23, so plenty of runway still!

This line-up is more a look in 2027:

Slaf - Suzuki - 2024 first round pick

Caufield - Dach - 2025 first round pick

X - Beck - X

X - X - X

while the D core will likely have Guhle, Hutson, Reinbacher and Xhekaj as the "core" .</div></div>

In my personal opinion, this approach is too cautious like what Ottawa, Buffalo, Anaheim, Edmonton and Arizona have done for years. It's good to get fully loaded with prospects and have a deep pool but eventually you have to turn the corner and move into contention. Suzuki will be 25 heading into next season, Caufield, Dach, Newhook and Guhle will all be 22-24, we need them to start playing meaningful games down the stretch, if they make the playoffs its even better for their development as a team

Thread: Questions for my fellow Habs fans
I personally agree, if a move can be made that improves the long-term future then you go for it. The question really becomes, is Reinhart going to be available? For me the answer is probably very unlikely.

I also wouldn't personally break up the Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky line, we need a line that compliments that.

I have some reservations about Dach being able to be healthy for an entire season, I know I have been very vocal on this but if we want to be competitive, we need to be able to count on our 2C to help carry the load for an entire season. I personally would like to see a move for PLD or Danault to help alleviate these concerns.

Adding another scoring winger would also be a must for me, I think Someone like Reinhart, Batherson, Fiala or even Zegras would be a great fit but they have to be able to finish at a rate of about 25+ goals or 50+ points per season and be under 28.
