I like Bolduc… but how do we get a C without using Mailloux in a trade package Brian?

Do we trade Grant? No room on the left side on the big club. But wow…he’s having a great season.

Fair I guess. Although it appears like they allowed him to play through a significant injury. The Habs med staff has improved greatly over the last few seasons. I doubt they would’ve allowed this in Laval. I just hope we continue to see the improvement he’s shown.

Yeah an injury would definitely impact his play. This is hindsight but could the Habs have brought him to Laval for his D+1? Leaving him with that organization was clearly not a good place for him.

Patrik I watched some of his games in his D+1. Why in your opinion did he look so awful? You can’t use the poor team excuse for the turnovers and losing physical battles. So why was he so bad? I’m happy it looks like he turned the corner, but concern was definitely warranted.

They’ll trade him lol.

That's 2024 Selke candidate Auston Matthews who apparently forgot to cover the best player of his generation. Never change Auston...never change.

He plays like this against USA next game and we win in a walk. No one has answer for that.

Do they have a great goaltender though? He’s never won anything in his career. Like not even junior level from what I can see. Looked human to me last night.

McDonaugh was taken at 12 overall so you’re making my point for me. You don’t draft that guy at 5. They’re available at lower spots or for trade/UFA.

I agree and we’ll be underwhelmed for the entire time he plays for the team I bet. We should be swinging for more than a bigger Alex Carrier at 5OA.
It’s the equivalent of picking a guaranteed 40-50 pt forward at 5OA. Makes no sense to me with Leonard there (excluding Michkov of course).

Regarding Reinbacher, I would agree with Brian’s take here. If this is what we get with a fifth overall pick, it’s a clear failure.

Won’t matter. Over 82 games you might be right. This is too short of a tourney. The main guys will be the difference as we saw last night with Sid. The Americans have no one that can/will take control of a game like that. We have 3 forwards and a defensive that alone can just win the game for you.

I don’t agree Andrew. We have the best 4 players in the tourney in McDavid, Crosby, McKinnon, Makar. Sorry I dont think Matthews, Hughes and the Tkachuk brothers stack up.

Jury is still out for me. Slaf is far from a slam dunk, Mesar pick was brutal and don’t get me started on 5OA in 2023. He has work to do on the player procurement side of things for us to be a true contender. This was Bergevin’s weak spot…we’ll see how Kent does.

It’s gonna take Caufield going the other way Brian. That’s a tough sell to the fans and creates another hole on 1st line.

Yep. Apparently Hughes already spoke with him as well. I would imagine they’re not thrilled with his season either.

Yeah that’s not very reassuring. Byfield isn’t good either lol.

I can’t argue with any of that. You’re right of course. But Cooley, and now even Wright, are looking more impactful. If we’re having the same conversation at Xmas next year, we’re in real trouble with this guy.

Brian what’s your take on Slaf? I’m officially worried. He looks terrible and he’s entering year 4. I don’t care that he’s almost close to last years pt output. It’s more how he looks - lost, lazy, and ineffective.
