2022-2023 roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy316</b></div><div>Anyone in the playoffs
I heard word for word the same logic for why Plekanec's wasnt worth a pick at the TDL
They were right as he was having his worst year and after re-signing with MTL the following season was released from his deal for that reason
But because his faceoff ability never declined and he could handle bulk Defensive Zone Faceoffs which are much harder to win
Plekanec's got a 2nd round pick and 2 AHL Prospect MB flipped almost right away for Kulak (who got a sililar return)
I was the first to say " How the F...... did we get that?" and that was when MB was in charge who sucked at any deal not done at the Draft/Summer outside 2 deals in 10 years.
Hughes given how every single player he sold got more then the concensus agreed upon including this trade to take monahan
I think im comfortable trusting him
As for your views on our Coaches System
I dont think it makes sense either but it works , the points dont lie
Suzuki(1C) had 35 in 37 , Dvorak(3rdC) 18 in 22 and Evans had 17 in 35 (4thC)
Who played 2nd C? A Winger named Pitlick and at high volume minutes not just as a placeholder or plug
MSL system isnt what you think
For example Most people assume 1st and 2nd are our offensive lines 5v5
That's actually wrong as MTL use's 1st and 3rd to shutdown top 6 allowing 2nd to overpower 3rd and 4th
its why Lehkonen went out with 9 points in 9 games before the TDL after Pitlick joined his line
MSL see's the pieces he has and plays to their strengths
When he has holes he'll use a Dauphin over a Poehling to plug them as seen last year
Dauphin and Pitlick largely absorbed Byron's role as he'll Start on every line each year before its done(why he lasted so long here he's not simply a 3rd or 4th liner)
He'll try to win but not at the expense of developing his core especially when it comes to Suzuki, Caufield and well Romanov until he was traded.
His system doesnt really have a typical designation like top 6/bottom 6 or 1a /1b & bottom 6,ext
Its more like his aim is 2/3 players on every line are in the positions they should be but that 3rd player usually isnt playing at his level.
Ex: First move as coach by MSL was moving Anderson to LW for the first time in MTL on 1st line with NS/CC going 20pts in 21games and 25pts in 21 games.(caufield exploded)</div></div>
I know the players got points towards the end and that Caufield exploded. I personally think you should trade Anderson while he has some value.
The backside to all of those stats and whatnot is that you lost. A lot. I think you had a 9-game losing streak towards the end. Just because a team goes all out offense and players getting points doesn't necessarily mean you're making the right moves. Your defense was and still is deplorable and all the scoring in the world isn't gonna save you. I will give you that Montembault did start 30 games for you last season and he shouldn't be near a starting position in the NHL. It was funny and sexy hockey with a ton of goals and me and my partner enjoyed watching the Habs (she's the real fan, not me haha), but it wasn't close to playing winning hockey.
This Monahan trade was a tad bit confusing to me tbh. Pure pick acquiring move ofc i get that and they should load up on picks this year, but at the expense of Dach and Evans potentially getting even less playing time, because someone is gonna have to sacrifice playing time for Monahan, I hope you're aware of that. Maybe they do put him on the wing but if so I wouldn't expect him to play better than what he does as a center. I'm not a an NHL head coach though and probably for good reason so I can really only speculate. 😅
I'm also wondering who's making the playoffs who has 6.3m to spend on Sean freaking Monahan and also give you a pick lmao. Again, unless he explodes ofc. It won't be because of faceoffs either since you're winging him apparently. You also cheekily left out that you retained 50% of Plekanec salary, and that an as equally AHL bound player as Rychel went back to TOR in that Baun guy my friend. 😉
That being said, I am very excited to see how this year plays out of the Habs but mainly for MSL. I think it'll show that last year's points explosion was the result of an offensive playing style and a big boost of confidence due to the HC change and the addition of MSL. (Ducharme was poison btw and I'm genuinely happy that you're free from him!!) But i also expect to see even more development from CC, Suzuki and maybe even some guest appearances from Guhle & Norlinder!
Oh, and if Hughes can do something about that RD and goalie depth. Your LD prospect pool is the most stacked defensive pool I've ever seen btw.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>He scored 80 pts, 3 years ago, and is 27 years old. Is it likely he rebounds? Probably not. But the team has the cap space to take the risk. Worst that can happen is they are left with 'just' a 1st round pick BUT there is certainly a shot that he performs as a top 6 center and will go for assets at the TDL with retention. That's how you rebuild with players on no term, bought low.</div></div>
Did you really just pull his stats from 3 years ago as a motivation to why you'd get assets for his bum ass at the TDL?

2022-2023 roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy316</b></div><div>We arent
MSL system is Suzuki 1st C , Dvorak 3rd C and Evans 4th C
Suzuki had 35 in 37, Dvorak 18 in 22 and Evans 17 in 35
MSL had Pitlick play 2nd C where he got 22 in 35
I think why Monahan was brought in is to play top 6 beside Dach for Faceoff Support
This allows MTL to see if he can be a center as even Danault needed Shaw and Pavelski needed Jumbo Joe
Monahan could end up earning himself MTL as an interested party this summer when he's a UFA if he clicks with Dach.
MSL wont play Dvorak at 3rd either way
Far more likely if not Dach at 2nd C then Monahan will be with Anderson-Dach on his wing
No other upside to bringing in Monahan for a late 2025 1st rounder unless you think Monahan can be sold at the TDL for a decent haul
From a logistic's POV it just seems ideal as Dach had no faceoff support before as Drouin was the only one and i feel he'll be on 3rd with Dvorak (great chemistry) and Gally
If im the GM looking for max pay on my top 3 Forward pending Free Agents
Dadanov-Suzuki-Caufield
Monahan-Dach-Anderson
Drouin-Dvorak-Gally
Hoffman-Evans-Armia
PItlick</div></div>
Well like I said in another post, you guys got a 1st round pick to take Monahan on. Ik Calgary needed to shed cap but he was overpaid and performed badly long before this off-season. Idk who's gonna give you anything for him unless he freaking explodes.
I'm having a hard time seeing Monahan play LW on the 2nd line tbh. I don't get why you put him there. If anything Dach would play wing.
There's probably gonna be at least 1 more trade before season starts including a forward leaving MTL.

I'm not sure what the Habs aim to do here. What was the point of trading all those assets to get Dach just to stick him on the 4th line with Armia and whoever. And is Jake Evans just not gonna play once Monahan comes back? I'm eager to see how this plays out.

Giving up their future for Meier while also trading away Smith is very counterproductive lol. This is basically VGK paying 2 prospects, a 1st and a 2nd round pick to switch out a 25 goal scorer (if healthy) for a 35 goal scorer (if healthy) and Reimer. So hard pass. Especially since it's Vegas, you're not getting an overpayment from them since they hate your guts lol.

Part 3 of my Big Cap Space Trades team Goalies
It just keeps getting worse with you Habs fans. In the beginning it was Just Allen to the Knights for like a 3rd. Now you want a prospect, a young defenseman who is signed to a great contract for 6(!!!) years, a 3rd round pick AND we're taking on Savard. You've completely lost the plot I'm afraid.
And yeah it's kinda ridiculous how many teams you have taking on your ****ty contracts without you guys having to give a single pick, like the trades with Arizona and Chicago for example. You can look up Arizonas trade history for the past 6 months, they will not do you any favors. They want picks to take the ****ty deals on now, not potentially later.
This wasn't made to be realistic that's for sure.

I don't think the Habs needs anymore LD considering how ridiculously stacked on LD prospects they are.
VGK doesn't want any of those players i don't think.
Maybe Hoffman if he was cheaper and knew how to play some defense.

If you knew reports are no longer "he'll be at camp" and are now "he's doubtful for camp"
Its much more likely he either goes on LTIR till he retires or just retires.
That would be completly dumping Zaitsev's camp and being able to promote Bedard-Docker who shockingly is being treated as unworthy by a lot of people.
I was always under the impression Bedard-Docker was a solid future 2nd paid Defensive prospect but after today im wondering what problem he has i dont know about.</div></div>
I did read and the point is still soaring over your head. Ottawa doesn't need a 4th liner who makes 3.4 mil at ANY point. You effectively want US to take on Byron so that YOU can flip Zaitzev at the deadline for a pick or smth, when we can just do it ourselves. Or you want us to rely on the Habs medical team and gamble on a player MAYBE being on the LTIR for the whole year or retires all together? And at the cost of a freaking 2nd round pick and Daoust as well... Really? Blockhead.
Dump your ****ty contracts somewhere else and we'll do the same.
Just an extra FYI, Ottawa isn't in win now mode this season. Giroux has even gone out and said it in the media that the goal is not to win or be real contenders this season.
JBD might be ready for the NHL but if you're gonna try and convince me he's gonna do way better in Zaitzev's top 2 role in his first year then idk what to tell you..

I too think Stastny might do a comeback tbh. Would be fun to see him again!
But i like this all in all. Habs fans are trying to throw Jake Allen at us like it's gonna solve anything, and Dallas fans are trying to basically give us Khudobin for free. I hope neither happens and that we acquire a goalie at the deadline if Thompson and Brossoit don't work out. For now they should look at pieces to strengthen our depth or possibly a 2nd line winger.
