How do you go from Turgeon, Damphouse, Koivu, Roy, Recchi, etc to... what we ended up with. As bad as MB has been at times, no one compares to Rejean Houle for sheer ability to take a great roster and destroy it to a point where it took a couple of decades to get it back to respectability. What about 2008? I thought we had a chance that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that the wheels fell off after losing Lang and Tanguay to season-ending injuries (if memory serves). Wasn't that the year of the dreaded Barbershop jerseys?

Didn't we give up a first round pick & a scond round pick for Tanguay and then not qualify him? He was still somewhat of a productive player after that for a few years. Bad ass management.

But Houle... 5 years... that set us back at least 12-15 years. Considering the assets we had... what he turned them into...and omg those throw ins. It wasnt bad enough to trade Turgeon for Baron & Corson (and i LOVE Shayne Corson, he's a friend and was always one of my favourite habs, but holy crap that was a bad move) - but we also added Craig Conroy and Rory Fitzpatrick as "throw ins" - both of whom went on to have decent mid-level NHL careers. And who can forget Ron Corey. (I thought I did) He's the pylon that put it all in motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreegking Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Not a fan of this signing. He’s good. But will slow the team down. He’s got some weaker advanced statistics to my knowledge. If he’s third line I’m content. Just not sure where he fits in, as it seems the Habs are moving Daneault more to centre ice and defensive zone face off shifts. I just don’t get where he fits in the lineup. I guess he’s on the top two scoring lines. But doesn’t he slot in behind Gally and Anderson (according to his contract numbers)?

ramcharger440 Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 He is looking better every game i think he may be a key pick up moving forward kind of like getting Tuna a good solid goal scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennifer_rocket Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Yeah, with the shortened camp I'm not expecting everyone to be up to full-speed yet. He had a pretty quiet first two games, but is really coming on strong in this mini-series against Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he’s playing much better D now too. Looking good. If he is playing solid D and going to be be a 20 goal scorer in a shortened season , then dang, he’s what we all hoped. And at a good price also. I was surprised he was available for under 5 million with his productivity and entering his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennifer_rocket Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 I know it's early, but... It's neat to see someone on Montreal near the top of the league in points. And tied for first in goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so used to the wheels falling off that I still kind of expect it but we have real depth this year! look we just lost Armia and we are replacing him with Perry who is older now but no slug at all! we have a shot here to do some real damage i hope we all play at our potential because it has been a long time since we and any real shot at doing a few rounds in the spring.

I think the last time, this far into the season was Lars Eller when he had like 10 points in his first 7 games one year & peopler were saying he was Malkin 2.0. Oops.

Habberwacky Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Bergevin's big signings appear to be panning out well. The man with the Midas touch. Teams are going to have a hard time stopping the four lines we can roll with. It will be interesting to see what Perry can do tonight as I believe he is in for Armia. Toffoli may be on pace for career highs in a shortened season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont have the salary space to just bring up Frolik, even at the tiny bit we are paying him - unless you mean instead of perry but considering how well he played, i think thats unlikely. We would have to waive someone (Minors or taxi squad) trade someone (without taking back salary) or put someone on the LTIR. Cap management is going to be a major hurdle this year considering how close we are to the limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
