Thread: laffy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>Ylonen has very little trade value. Struble doesn't have a ton either.

Rangers easily pass.

A few days ago I proposed. 2025 1st (top 10 protected) worse of the 2 picks, 2nd round in 2024, Ylonen and Jake Evans for Laffy.

it got mixed reviews. Helps with the Rangers forward depth and gives them 2 picks.

The package I listed was quite a bit more than you offered here.

Another package I saw was Barron, Ylonen, 1st (2025) and 3rd.

All to say your package is light.</div></div>

The whole Laf thing, let's be honest, is tricky.
He's such in a pivotal year.
He has the exact same trajectory - freakishly similar - as Yakupov.
He could also start to breakout this season, exactly like Kakko did last season.

So it looks like we will see, this season, WHO Laf is exactly.

Hence, his value is very much in flux at this precise time.

My opinion.

NOTE: shout out to TMLBRIAN. Leafs fan, who also comments on Habs threads, but always respectfully, no bitterness, and fairness. I always strive to do the same. And I appreciate when dialogue is courteous.

Thread: rockets
Coach Houle couldnt win with those lines.

Richard-Abbadonato = Pacioretty- Desharnais 2.0 (in comparison to their AHL use and NHL use together not combined productions .)

Condotta - Teasdale = Matt Martin and Cal Clutterbuck 2.0 with higher Goal Scoring upside.(Condotta unlike his Cousin Martin is a pest who can finish fights not a Goon /Grit guy who starts them)

Davidson is ready to play AHL Center but Mysak needs to pack on muscle and adjust to the speed of small NHL style ice .
Davidson needs to also pack on Muscle but plays a gritty 200ft game required for a top Center in the WHL to succeed in todays game.
His biggest issue is skating so having him Center Condotta and Teasdale two mature team leaders who he can relate to .(plus both are excellent skaters)

Pitlick i dont think will start in the AHL and your Centers will all move up a position with Davidson moving to Center.
Most likely with Dube, Stephens or Mysak supporting him from wing.

Houle's ECF run it was 1st and 4th line leading the way at both ends like MTL in the SCF run its structured that way.
Middle 6 is checking and shutdown units who mostly break in the new guys trying to crack bottom or top 6.
Which makes sense as there's really only a 2 shift reward to playing 1st over the other 3 lines as Coach Houle employs a 4 like system that relies on all 6 D.
He's doing good as our Coach too and given his father is the most hated man in MTL Canadiens history the fans were looking for an excuse to call for his head.

I mean if this was a ranking of our depth then sure , its pretty accurate.
But Houle would never skate those line

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>Matheson on the right just takes opportunity away from Barron.
We can play him with Savard to take the more difficult minutes.
Guhle or Xhekaj with Barron, depending on whether Barron seems ready for 2nd or 3rd pair. Xhekaj makes more sense as he's already being sheltered and Guhle seems ready for top 4 at least.
Kovacevic has been playing well enough for a spot as well, which means one of Xhekaj or Harris being the 7th D on any given night.</div></div>

Harris is the #3 rookie dman in minutes played …
He is light years ahead of Xhekaj &amp; Barron
Even Kovacevic is ahead of Xhekaj &amp; Barron

Guhle-Savard
Matheson-Harris
Xhekaj-Kovacevic
Wideman

Barron will play in the AHL next year, + I don’t see MTL trading Edmundson this TDL

So
Matheson-Savard
Guhle-Edmundson
Xhekaj-Harris
Kovacenic
Wideman
