If he keeps scoring in Laval while the Habs crumble.

He'll get his chance.

I don't think there's much IF he keeps scoring in Laval

Yes

Meh.

Does really nothing to make a significant difference.

The team is not really better today.

That's because he has to quarantine, the team will be better for it next week

Do we consider 2011 Bruins with elite talent? I think our lines are more balanced than theirs but their top 6 is better

Bergeron and Chara were close and Tomas was out of his mind that run.

Merrill maybe a good partner for Romanov as he can teach him a few things hopefully

Let’s hope DD gets the right lines out there I still think we are a dangerous team when we stick to the plan

Which is the last team that won the cup without elite talent ?
- habs88888

2005-06 Carolina Hurricanes?

They also played Vancouver who wasn’t the toughest opponent

The one where Cam Ward won it when he was 18?

Its Puzzling because he did add some talent to this team but some how they do not appear to be better.

Now onto top4 d and top6 f
- habs88888

no, he's the d Bergevin was looking for

now maybe a forward, maybe

Pretty sure Eric Staal was already elite talent at that point.

He did not appear to be having fun watching the game last night.

Well the new guys are producing as expected. Bergevin did a good job last summer overall.

It's the guys that were already here that aren't pulling their weight.

sorry but there's no savior on the trade market
Bergevin might have the cap space to add another top 9 forward, but do not expect the moon

The one where Cam Ward won it when he was 18?
- habs88888

Yes. A young Eric Staal was their 1C. They had an old Mark Recchi and Doug Weight. Their D had an old Glen Wesley. Aaron Ward, Mike Commodore. Brindy, Stillman, Cole. Justin Williams, Ray Whitney, Hedican, Kevyn Adams. Tverdovsky?

Need to have Staal on the wing at 4th line even then I don’t think Staal and Perry should play on the same line.

Move Petry back with Edmundson and Chiarot back with Weber

Also Armia is likely back this week so should be good

Yes. I can't believe how bad Weber and Drouin have been. what a let down.

Better than what we have now we are putting guys in spots where they shouldn’t be bcoz of injuries

Who is Armia better than? Out of the 12 F dressed last night, who is he clearly better than?

- deadpoulet

Guess my point, unless there is a chance to do something drastic, why bother? Why not hold out til the end and see if something does come up?

I don't think this trade moves the needle.
