1 - Absolutely not
2 - 2-3 years at least but I have a sneaking suspicion he will be traded in the summer for a 2c

That being said, they still need a 2C so that needs to be taken care of in the off-season.

Also, it allows Hugo to evaluate their own players in a stretch run. Finally, Based on media avail yesterday, it looked like the players were ecstatic with the deadline and weren’t the least bit upset about not adding.

So they kept their promise to the players that they wouldn’t sell if they accomplished the goal which they did. They sacrificed assets (the return on Armia/Dvo/Savard) so no need to sacrifice more.

@lori10habs.bsky.social Great article although I disagree with the theory that #Habs should have bought something small. It seems Hugo wanted to be in the mix this year which they clearly are. I don’t think they care if they make the playoffs and it looks like they don’t think we will (neither do I)

@bwildemtl.bsky.social. I was just thinking about this this and wondering what the update was so thanks for providing. Actually, starting to believe they will make the playoffs this year.

Since they already cleared waivers this year they have 10 games or 30 days before having to clear so that shouldn’t impact the decision.#Habs have a lot of good options (RHP or Davidson if I had to choose)

Very good recap @jdlagrange.bsky.social. I would add Lane Hutson's name to important RFA's after next season. Also, I am not sure why Price's contract ending would give the #Habs less flexibility. His 10.5 comes off the books so they will have more space then they are currently using (~7.3 million).

That’s helpful but it’s kind of what I meant. Because of where the puck was going (around the boards) the wash player was most likely to get there first (which he did).
January 11, 2025 at 8:26 PM
To the face off dot
January 11, 2025 at 5:55 PM
Agreed. Wash player got there first and was on the side where the puck was going
January 11, 2025 at 5:52 PM
@jdlagrange.bsky.social if they are legitimately in the mix, I think all of them stay other than maybe Pezzetta who they may trade to give him a chance to play.

I like
Hutson-Guhle
Matheson-Carrier
Xhekaj-Savard
Even though Guhle is on his off side

That being said, we all know development isn’t linear and 20 year olds take steps back so I think it’s just that.

Good read as always @bwildemtl.bsky.social. re:Slaf it’s odd to me that he no longer does the same things he was doing the last half of last year(great forecheck, winning battles with his size, great passing and a good shot). We saw him do it so we know he can. He just isn’t.
December 15, 2024 at 3:46 PM
It helps when you can pick who gets the breakaways😃
December 10, 2024 at 12:55 PM
Neither. They should let Dach play 2nd line centre for the rest of the year and let the chips fall where they may regarding the draft. They need to figure out if he is that 2nd line centre they need or if they have to find a new one.
December 7, 2024 at 3:39 PM
Great read Brian, as usual. Even though they played well and won both #Habs did not score at 5v5. Something to keep an eye on.
December 6, 2024 at 1:24 PM
Agreed but I don’t think this rebuild is typical so I’m not sure what the regular timeline for better results would be. I’m still optimistic but it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
December 3, 2024 at 1:12 PM
So even though they did have a head start with players like Suzuki and Canfield I find it hard to say the rebuild started in 2018.
December 3, 2024 at 1:05 PM
I like this article but I think it’s missing one point. The first few years after the start of the rebuild are about developing young prospects, playing them and letting them make mistakes. Winning isn’t important and kids get ice time regardless of results. That only started when St. Louis arrived.

I'm curious what it means for Newhook
