Thread: Suzuki Poehling IN
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>J2W</b></div><div>"All players who have accrued two or less professional seasons at the end of the 2016-17 season (rules are from the Vegas draft change it to 2020-21), as well as all unsigned draft choices appearing on the teams reserve list, will be exempt from the upcoming expansion draft." So Suzuki and Poehling, with only 2 seasons, 19/20 and 20/21, until expansion, are guaranteed to be exempt.
As for lines I would go with

Tatar-Danault-Suzuki
Domi-Kotkaniemi-Gallagher
Drouin-Poehling-Byron
Lehkonen-Weal-Armia

Suzuki gets eased in a little by having a solid defensive C in Danault and a good veteran in Tatar, I do worry about the amount of ice time he would be getting. Kotkaniemi gets some talented offensive wingers to help him put up some points and get ready for more important minutes, Domi can also take some draws if needed and Gallagher is reasonably helpful defensively. Hopefully this line would be able to ease the minutes the Danault line would be playing. Drouin gets weaker defensive assignments which should help him, and Poehling by extension, put up some decent point totals, while Byron helps balance out Drouin's less than stellar dzone play. 4th line is just a good set of bottom 6 guys who should be able to eat some serious dzone starts and push play fairly well.</div></div>

Suzuki is already really reliable on defense as well as poehling

Thread: What now
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Poehling</b></div><div>Right there, Weal is a Center or Right Winger &amp; Cousins is a Center or Left Winger. Yeah, Poehling on the 4th line, great idea ( sarcasm ). Lehkonen is always the favorite, he'll play on the top6, you like it or not. They might do half, Byron for the beginning, pretty sure Lehkonen will end up there</div></div>

I really like Lehkonen's game and I think that he could play a top-six role but I also think that the Habs would prefer to run three legitimate lines and a fourth line. I think that Poehling definitely deserves a spot in the lineup but I am still unsure where he would go that's why I stuck him on the 4th line. To progress as a prospect he should play top-six/top-nine but unless Domi moves to wing I don't see that happening.

Thread: MTL LHD Last year vs This Upcoming season
we did great

right now its just about making sure we dont keep Tatar and Petry to long that it stunts youth prospects like Suzuki and Brook .
if they were on any other team they'd be in the NHL last year but MTL had to many pieces added last year to let either stay despite being standouts at camp and pre-season they were sent down to have league leading Junior years . keeping them down 1 year in the AHL might not hurt but any longer in the Goons league and you're looking at Magnus Nygren level issues . (he was injured in the goons league and left MTL giving reports to European media about how he feared for his safety in MTL system before going on to become one of the top PP Defensive leaders in the SHL and NLA becoming their poster child for finishing your development in Europe where the players have more control over their lives and safety)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ForsbergForVezina</b></div><div>To me, it depends on how big a step Mete takes this season. I'd say Chiarot isn't really any better than Benn, Reilly kinda is what he is. Kulak was a nice surprise but can he keep it up (I think he can)? So Mete is really the wild card here</div></div>

Chariots younger and has passion
Benn was good for what we paid but had no passion
watching him defend price in a fight was embarassing and sent the message we dont take protecting him serious

Chariot will not take any type of crap from other teams
Chariot still has potential and could elevate under Weber/Petry like Benn did
but Benn's coming off a career high at 31 before going home to play and retire
