Thread: Finishing up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>It's interesting, because having a 100+pts and 80+pts center last season did not help Vancouver win. They were unbalanced between forward and defense.

They will be a little better with Hronek this season, but can he be a top pair player? I think the Canucks need to be a bit of a cautionary tale for the Habs.

Vancouver has better goaltending. Better centers. Better scoring wingers. They play in an easier division.

With all that going for them, they still can't make the post -season.

Fans on this site constantly undervalue defense and depth. I think Hughes has a plan and players with the right culture is a big part of it. So I only do this deal if HuGo believes Petey will fit in with the group and not project a mercenary attitude.</div></div>

lack of leadership and a losing culture in the room..... goalie got hurt didnt he?

Thread: Drop the puck already
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>I like your assessments sir!</div></div>

trust me I know my team been a fan for 50 years and all the glory years... win hockey pools every year..... montreal is being built correctly and we just have to let these great kids play and not sign veterans to block them.. and then when the Armia and Dvorak and Allen are all gone we will contend again with this core

Reinbacher and Hutson and Guhle and Barron and harris and Xhekaj and matheson for a couple of years and our forwards we need some of Farrell, Roy, Heinemann, Kidney, slafovsky, RHP, Ylonen, Beck, Mesar, newhook, to become good players. i like roy the best. He was awesome with Bedard.
The defense is going to be great. We need a game breaker up front .. maybe in the draft or maybe you sign a free agent to be that player. A player like Nylander or someone like that

Thread: Slafkovsky Barron RHP in the minors
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheRealisticGuy</b></div><div>Masterclass move by Hughes, but :

Monahan-Suzuki-Caufield
Newhook-Dach-Anderson
Slafkovsky-Dvorak-Gallagher
Pezzetta-Evans-Armia
Ylönen

Matheson-Savard
Guhle-Petry (if he stays)
Xhekaj-Harris
Kovacevic
Wideman (maybe waive Wideman?)

Montembeault
Allen
DeSmith (maybe waive instead of Wideman?)

So I would expect RHP &amp; Barron to be sent in the NHL if everyone’s healthy</div></div>

yes but remember dvorak will miss a few weeks and then someone else will get hurt and so RHP will not go to laval.....plus slaf is going to need to show in camp that he is ready else he might start in laval which i think is the best idea for his confidnece to play in all situations and get on a roll when he is called up. I will say this RHP has will and he will be on the team....if not injuries then another trade will happen. RHP has nothing to learn in laval.. he is ready

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheRealisticGuy</b></div><div>You guys are way off lmfao
I hate Hoffman &amp; Armia, but they are never healthy scratch
They don’t have a spot to earn, they have a spot to lose
But still, there’s no way they are buried in the AHL. I just can’t see it.
Hoffman half retained + us sending a 4th for future compensation …. That makes ZERO sense, you don’t retain half a contract and sending a pick to make a roster spot for someone. Those someone are waivers exempt, they can start in Laval &amp; get recall when an injury occur. I don’t think this is going to be the line up for opening night, every year there is injuries during training camp + preseason games</div></div>

and now he is traded as i knew he was going to be gone.. such doubters but hughes has managed every task set for him.. with hoff and pitlick gone they now can play ylonen and Harvey pinard.. and petry will get them a high draft pick if we retain 50% at the deadline.
