Mailloux WILL start next year, he looks mature and ready. He's gonna be a beast

Great show Drew. All the best over the summer. Looking forward to watching these future Habs win a cup! GHG

Excellent, l'amitié crée de la bonne communication

Pozdrav zo slovenska, 👍🇸🇰🇨🇦💪

Kent Hughes will have lots of options ...with draft picks ...prospects...and vets ..to package ..and bring in some SCORING to this line up ..!! All these 1 goal games will turn into wins ...with added FIRE POWER !! HE MUST ADD SNIPERS !! This SUMMER IS KEY !! GO HABS GO !!

"Ahoj" from 🇸🇰 Great job guys. Really like your content! PS: You don't have to wait for hockey until September. Let's watch Worlds Championship and cheer for Slaf + Cole ✌️

Gallagher a Captain of the Kelowna Rocket almost a Captain of the Habs and worth His Contract that the Owners felt he was worth. I hope he retires a Stanley Cup Canadien

Dream Team! Good show. I have far more concerns than most seem to about Hutson. I think he's going to get battered about a fair bit. Struble is a big boy and look how much the schedule got to him in the last 3rd of the season, yet people are expecting so much from Lane and that he won't see Laval. How many times have they told us the NHL isn't a development league? I don't think 82 games in the NHL is the right development path for Hutson. It's going to require a really disciplined D pairing to cover for Lane when he pushes forward or a very fast one! I hope I'm wrong but I fear injuries next year if we heap too much on such a small body.

Great show boys

If we stay where we are in the draft standings, and Berkly Catton is still available, id LOVE to take that guy, there are some good forwards available.

Good stuff Boys! I'm hoping the some of the young guys can be nhl players in the future, we need one or two more goal scorers in our lineup, either via trade or draft, or maybe both but we need scoring help, a young, proven free agent would be cool in, a perfect scenario too. We'll let see what Gorton & Hughes have up their collective sleeves!

If only Dach can stay healthy we are in business!! draft another great forward at 5-6-7 and we are set. Defense will ne solid for many years!! NO DMAN please, we are set!!

I don'tt think they will resign the asst coaches, i think they will get a vet to help the d

Cole- suzuki- slaf Roy- kirby- anderson* Armia-newhook-gally ? -evans - rhp Gally and rhp can switch place and if you can exchage anderson for a réal second ligne player it would be perfect

Season positives...the progression in Slaf's offensive game (but I do like Hughes trying to protect him by saying he still expects Slaf to have difficult moments), I liked seeing Caufield trying to add more to his game (be it physical, back checking, playmaker) however he is paid to score goals so he will need to focus on learning to find different ways to score esp 5on5...Captain Suzuki had a really good season but listening to Hughes in his presser, I wonder if being Captain of the Habs is something he will continue to mature into or will it begin taking a toll on him. Btw, I agree with DD, I don't think the Suzuki-Caufield-Slaf line will remain intact (5on5)...but with injuries, it's a line MSL will be comfortable reuniting when required (esp on PP). Matheson had a career season offensively...he is a decent defender but not a guy I would put out there to protect a lead. The emergence of Mailloux and esp Hutson will determine how much longer Matheson remains a Hab IMO. Re: Hutson, I must respectfully disagree with Producer Shane...I feel Lane needs to start in Laval not Mtl. Hutson may be offensively gifted with a high ceiling, but at 5'9" and listed as 158lbs...he is NOT physically ready to get punished by NHL forwards (even tho he did a decent job in Mtl in 2gms). Let him continue to work the weights and gain some muscle in Laval playing with his new buddy Reinbacher and have Deputy Xhekaj there to protect him in Laval. Anything can happen in the off season, but what I expect to see happen are exactly what Hughes stated were his needs checklist...add scoring to Top 6, add bigger and more physical players, and improve special teams ie PK. Do I expect another Dach, Newhook kind of trade...I don't think so! I feel this team is need of a different kind of return on a trade/UFA signing...someone more "established" to help this young group reach a new level. And hopefully having a healthy full season of Dach will give this team a much needed offensive 2nd line to help Suzuki. I feel Hughes&Gorton will "tinker" with new additions...but baring a shock out of nowhere blockbuster trade OR winning the draft lottery which will definitely change the Habs' plans. I feel the REAL PUSH for playoffs and making a deep run will be the '25-'26 season. Not saying they will go all in...but they will make significant moves to improve this team. We shall see! Go Habs Go!

Merci

I liked Hudson’s game a pile, on transition and in the Ozone it’s a no brainer. On the cycle I think he could use some time in the AHL, looked like some of the strategies he was using in the dzone to try and break up plays won’t translate , but I do think he’ll figure it out if given some reps in the pro game. This season I think he would have gotten the leash he needs to figure that out in the NHL, next season I think expectations will be higher and the margin for error much lower, so the AHL could be a better option. Along with that, the massive log jam on LD makes him the easy option to start in Laval while they figure things out. Id put my money on Mailloux starting the season with the habs! I’m sure this sounds like a knock on Hudson, and I don’t mean it that way, I think he is the real deal, and these two games cemented that, it’s just that there is no rush! Great show guys!

HE'S HIM!!!!

Gally is a sniper now, if there was a trade offer would trade him though

guhle, matheson / savard, hutson / wifi, mailloux. TBH they really need to trade 2-3 young d out they have too many prospects but that is my 6 I'd run with

Does Hutson not look like a certain defense man playing for the Canucks?

Your talking about a lot of things that happened when the Habs were rebuilding, i know they are still definitely rebuilding, but they say they want to start to compete next year, so if that's the case, Hutson and Mailloux might not get as much leeway as u might think. You have to remember Habs have like 14 D, that are either already in the NHL, or have played in the NHL, and are all quality D and are going to be fighting for that spot, (oh 2 of the D i thought about havent played in NHL yet, Engstrom and reinbacher), but those r just what ive thought of, there may be more. Just sayin, that's a lot of guys fighting for 6 spots, and id like to think Xhekaj, Savard, Matheson, and Guhle are already in, i hope. That leaves 2 spots for 12-14 guys. Plus we will trade a few away at the draft id guess. Mailloux and Hutson looked great tho! Stoked to see them both in Montreal.

Drew - Along the lines of ankle breaker....Might be aging myself a bit, but I think Hutson's nickname should be "And1" Hutson, or "The Professor".

Matheson Guhle Hutson Savard Xhekaj Mailloux 7th Struble

Ooooh my god! Stop with these Hutson AHL comments, have you freaking watched him play?? He'll be in the Calder discussion next year, nothing less. Sometimes I wonder if I'm watching the same game as the other Habs fans complaining about anything but the truth...

AHL is way too rough and dirty for Hutson truly is!

Playing the last twenty games of the season doesn't mean much to be honest. 6.5 is a hefty price for that.

Hutson is going to spend the summer eating steak 3 times a day. Put some beef on this kid and watch out

Hudson looked like he was keeping the puck for himself and looked selfish but honnestly im pretty they told him to have fun and express himself and just do is thing i dont thing hes going to play this way for 82 games a year.

The HABS have a lot of players that look good. Pity that all that looking good did not translate into WINNING DAM HAOCKEY GAMES!

Arizona won :) !

I think it's possible that the habs player development people improve Hudsons skating mechanics and he trains an develops more strength putting his skating over the top.
