I disagree. PAP and Bourque are two floaters, Eller is the puckhogger. I dislike.

I'll have a predictions blog tomorrow, so we can all have something to look back on and laugh at.
- EricEngels

Yeah, if 3 minutes later is considered looking back.

I'm surprised that De La Rose is still in the mix.
- Pecafan Fan

Reward for the kid, extra days with the big club, last cut with the promise to be the first one called up and a big pat on the back and a bus ticket.

I disagree. PAP is the playmaker on that line, Bourque the scorer, Eller the grinder. I like.

That's pretty funny.

Eller is banged up, just an insurance policy at this point

As am I. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot to like, but there are much better options for his development, and he won't offer anything that others can't this year.

What about Moen and Bournival

right now the habs are carrying 15 forwards and 7 d.

- Fredobface

Moen is a vet, they will keep him until they can move him. Bournival is still fighting for a spot, he is the 13th forward at this point

Meh, if it means less Moen, I'm all for having De La Rose with the team.


With the moves Bergevin made so far, I think it'S clear he doesn't mind the team taking a little step back in order to give more ice time to younger guys. That should pay in the long run.

curious to see if Plek will finally produce to the level he is capable of with the Gallys this year #noexcuse

This.
Also, Pleks has to learn to pass to the wingers again since he has refused to do it with Gio and the revolving sore of linemates he's had the last couple seasons. Pull that turtleneck down and look for your wingers Pleky!

Leafs have put McLaren, Orr and Holzer on waivers.

All will be picked up by Ottawa

True.

I'm a big fan of the transition, whether it means a little regression in the standings or not.

I was just saying why would DLR be an insurrance when they are carrying two other fowards with NHL experience.

center...Moen and Bournival are wingers. who replaced eller during camp while he was injured....DLR

- Pecafan Fan

They probably really liked what they saw from him and give him a little more experience with the big club before being sent down.

Probably will get cut after practice this morning.

Gio is/was a shoot-first player, so why would Pleks give him the puck if he wasn't in a shooting position?

True.

Montreal is probably top-5 in the East. Even with a little regression, I don't see the bottom 2/3 of the conference suddenly getting significantly better.

I don't think it's a step back at all. All those kids are bigger, better and faster than the vets that were let go.

good point Symbola007

- 3M

From my perspective it didn't look like he was comfortable passing to gio even when he was in a shooting position. Just seems like he has tried to do everything himself the last couple years and he def has to chg that this season. Especially when there's a better play maker on that line.
