Hutson, as of now is who I'm most hyped for. He has been a monster at every level and he played unreal against a Detroit team that put everything on the line to get into the playoffs. I think he can gain 5 to 10 lbs of mass over the summer and be 170 to start to season. He's ready to be a game-breaker and bring the powerplay back to life. Demidov, I'll be hyped when he's ready to come over.

I think reinbacher can play a full season in the ahl, he has the size and skill set for that league were he can flourish, qlot like mailoux. I think lane is better suited to play in the nhl atm. Around high skill guys who will make him better and he will make them better.

I think Reinbacher has 1st pairing potential and then Mailloux, then Konyushkov. To be fair I’ve been following Mailloux more than Konyushkov I know he’s a great prospect. You’re missing Hage, Mesar and Farrell. Hage, Newhook and Roy all have 2nd line potential imo and Newhook looked fantastic with Dach for those 2 games so we’ll see there’s no rush. If anything we can always make trades we have so many prospects and logjams in literally all positions

You’re right, Dobes is a player, and he’s the biggest goaltender in the system. When he was at Ohio state and Omaha, the kids got the athleticism and game to play in the NHL and he’s extremely level headed. His poor start at the beginning of the season last year was a combination of a really young team, and a goaltender just starting pro hockey. His SV% at almost 91%, after chasing a SV% of under 80% in the first 6 games and barely 82% in his first 10, he had a perfect rookie season in pro hockey. He’s going to be a lot better than everyone thinks, plus, he’s been ignored, and I’m sure he’s okay with that.

My vote for the defense to start the year is Matheson/Ghule Hutson/Savard Xhakej/Mallioux These pairs maximize offense defense and toughness. Savard and Hutson being a pair is obvious as they complement each other so well and Xhakej plus Mallioux is a punishing pair that have both offense an defense and are a top tier playoff style pair.

Well shite, add those guys to Slaf, Suzie, Goalfield, Dach, Newfhook, Roy and there's 12 forwards. Then ya never know, there's still Koivu, Engstrom, Sawyer, Volokhin... 2 first round and 2 second round picks next year, add some salt, pepper, a pinch of oregano, a few jalapeno's and the Habs might have themselves a team that can make the finals again in a few years but I'll probably be dead by then so I won't get to see it.

I would move big brother up on the wing and Beck at centre. i am begging Marty to do this and I think this line will get us in the playoff. Teams will no be running our little stars , knowing this line will be coming for them. This way we can keep Struble who I like very much.

Nice selection, my thoughts on them; Roy has technically graduated (even though he was injured and missed 30 games) Yeah he's going to surprise many on the 2nd line with Dach this year. Florian is looking to be a look for the bottom 6 in only a couple seasons, I hope he has an excellent year in Laval, maybe even gets a call up. Mailloux could make the team out of camp, probably has to wait until the trade deadline for Savards spot. Guhle and Barron being the other 2 RD. Hutson will most likely make the team and play with Savard on the 3rd pair. Harris stock is quickly dropping. Xhekaj and Matheson being the other 2 LD. Demidov may arrive in 2025-26 and join Roy and Dach to complete an excellent top 6!

1 Demidov, 2 Hutson, 3 Mailloux, 4 Hage, and 5 Fowler. I am still waiting for that pick up this year! I really hope they didnt decide to not pick up a goal scorer now because they got Demidov. I can see them saying why pay for someone to come here for a year or two, then when Demidov gets here, he will take that spot, so why bother taking ice time away from someone who needs it on the team? Which makes sense, but i can't handle another year of finishing in the bottom 5, i know we get a pick for it, but i want to start winning, i dont mean make the playoffs, we're in a crazy tough division. i just want to not know we aren't making the playoffs before preseason, which is where we will be, if we dont add someone who can put the puck in the net. Bottom of the league again, this team has suffered enough, and so have it's fans.

@monarchistdesade6989 23 күн бұрын

My feelings might be wrong, depending how Reinbacher fare in his training camp he might just make the team since he's a big right handed defensemen. I can see Mailloux aswell... it depends on MTL org on how they wanna manage rookies contract and might want to get the maximum years out of these.
