Yeah, he is. Saw him play (again) last Friday and Sunday. I can see where the Giroux comparisons come from.

Remains to be seen if it'll translate to the NHL, obviously, but the talent is there.

So, did PK or his agent really asked for a trade ?

Dumont has been great. But another undersized forward is not the answer right now. Gallagehr and Blunden have been together for most of the year. I would make that our 4th line tonight and play limited minutes.

Our 4th line for game 1 was our best line so will play more than the Galchenyuk line anyway.

Sit Eller and Moen, send a message and let's go.

Gallagher needs minutes. If he gets anything less than 3rd line duties, ship him back to Hamilton.

Dumont is 5'9 but he plays much, much bigger than that. And while Blunden is bigger, he barely ever hits. Dumont hits everything in sight. Yes size is nice to have on a team but if the player doesn't use his attributes I don't see why you should play him over a smaller guy that actually does what a 4th liner should do.

It's game #2. And they want to see if he can bring the same energy he brings in Hamilton.

He has amazing hands. Saw him play three times this weekend. Let me tell you it was much more entertaining than the poopshow the Habs gave us Saturday.

I was referring to Willey's wish to put him on the 4th line (which is not happening right now I believe). I'm happy to see him into the lineup. Will be a fun line to follow tonight.

I have no problem with the habs using a top pick on a top french prospect, it makes a ton of sense, seriously.

Easily. Leading his team again in goals since returning. Making a push for scoring leader in the SM-liiga. Second best face-off man in the WJC's, plays PP/PK easily. If he was more physical he'd be the perfect prospect.

I don't win or lose any of those trades. The Habs do.
