Thread: Next season and AHL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>I said we <strong>may</strong> need to move Matheson because we will have 5 LHD if we don't move Edmundson.
Development is the priority and we need to ensure other players are getting sufficient minutes.
His value may also be at a high and/or enable us to pick up a RHD.
If he were a couple years younger and had a couple years more term, absolutely keep him and move one of the younger guys instead. As it stands we aren't in a position to capitalize on his performance before his contract expires.

If he plays the other side as a stop-gap measure, that's a little better but again a temporary measure we aren't in position to take advantage of. There is at least the benefit of giving us 3 years to fully develop our left side and work on an eventually replacement in that scenario.
On the left either him or Edmundson has to go. Combined they simply take too many minutes.</div></div>

All ture but of course you just trade edmundson instead.... and i mnot that worried about Rd as many players are comfortable on that side like Harris... i think Barron will be good and I do like Savard if mailloux doesnt develop then you can re-sign savard for 2 more seasons... So we shouldnt do a knee jerk trade and move matheson,,,, he could be better than all the prospects coming... Also Lane hutson plays the right side as well.

Matheson Barron
Guhle Savard
Xjerex Harris
Should be the pairs next year.

However next year is the year of the rookies forward and drafting a good goalie of the future.

Thread: the definite consensus between habs fans
We'll need to have an evaluation period to see what works, but based on the change, I'd try something like this.

Anderson - Suzuki - Caufield
Drouin - Dvorak - Hoffman
Toffoli - Poehling - Gallagher
Lehkonen - Evans - Armia

Someone to drive the net (Anderson, Dvorak, Gallagher).
Someone to shoot the puck (CC, Hoffman, TT).
Someone to act as playmaker (Suzuki, Drouin, Poehling?).
4th line to take bulk of defensive responsibilities.

Poehling is the question mark, but he's sheltered by two vets and Evans or Dvorak can step in for defensive draws if necessary. Similarly, Drouin can swap with Anderson for offensive draws.

PP1
Hoffman - Suzuki - Caufield
Drouin - Petry
Setup quality shots from multiple positions.

PP2
Toffoli - Dvorak - Gallagher
Anderson - Wideman/Romanov
Volume shooting and crashing.

PK1
Evans - Lehkonen - Edmundson - Savard
PK2
Dvorak - Armia - Chiarot - Romanov

We have a lot of options for wingers, but Suzuki/Caufield, Drouin/CC,TT,Hoffman and Gallagher/Poehling should be combined to start.
