Thread: Du sang neuf tabarnak
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Heh. I doubt many teams will agree that 3x6.25 past this season for a 34-year-old who has fallen off a cliff this season qualifies as reasonable. And if Hughes expects a return anything like that one, Petry isn't going anywhere.</div></div>

Lets discuss that statement: falling off a cliff... could it be explained by something else than the decline of Petry who is ''this season'' removed from 4 straight 40+ pts seasons with 42pts in 55 games just last year...

MMMh I wonder if his 6 points in 37 games might be caused by something else? Maybe the lost of our #1 and #3 Dman for all season, the lost of our #1 C - the fact that Price, his good friend (whose wife is his wife's BF) has entered the player assistance program, the fact that his wife literally left Canada with his unborn child to espace the covid restriction in Québec. The fact that he played the Stanley cup final with multiple injuries like a broken hand and bloodshot eyes.... and yet it was not enough to win.

Could it be that all of this has affected his game?

Or is that he declined from 42pts in 55 games to 6 pts in 37 because the earth did a full rotation around the earth since then?

I don't know which is more likely?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>and currently has one more point than Pierre Engvall</div></div>

But it’s easy to make any player look bad when you cherry pick stats lol. The whole Habs team has struggled this year and while only one point a head of Engvall…..he has played 7 less games.

He has only had more than 30 points in a season. That’s correct and also a cherry picked stat. Last season he played 52 games and had 24 points….17 goals. The season before 47 points in 82games…..27 goals. This season he’s played 27 games 14 points….8 goals. Over 82 that’s average 24 goals ….42 points

By far not the best player in the league but not the slug you want to make him out to be. Oh and he played 22 games in the playoffs last season……more than Mathews, Marner and Tavares combined (see how cherry picking stats look?) lol

Thread: Erik Branstrom contre Ryan Poehling
In all honesty here I agree with <a href="/users/Habs4ever" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Habs4ever</a>.

Even if Poehling is just a bottom 6 C... MTL's C depth is really lacking right now and I just don't see Branstrom bringing anything special to the MTL organization. Everyone on here is talking like Branstrom is a sure thing for a future top 4 offensive D... I don't see him as much more special than Mattias Norlinder, Jordan Harris, heck even Sami Niku. He for sure isn't better than Guhle or Romanov which MTL will already be trying to bring along.

Everyone thinks their prospects are special and that they are going to keep getting better and better, a lot of them don't. I'm not saying Poehling is better than Branstrom, but MTL has a bigger need for Poehling than Branstrom right now and Branstrom is anything but a sure thing - like Poehling, he has yet to establish himself in the NHL and being 22 years old requires waivers next season. These two were drafted over 4 years ago, usually by now you know what you have in a player.
