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

only one comes to mind. do I need to name him?

Good point... but are we really expecting him to be scratched?

I hope he is gone by next season.

YES!
if Tatar was, I don't see why he couldn't be.

He's not good. He's not bad. He's Jon Merrill.

Absolutely well said. Maybe shouldn’t have rushed Mete, but it is what Bergie is lol

- obie

He will be scratched I will call DD.
I say he is also better than Byron and Lekhonen, he is not necessarily physical but he stands his own

YES!

- fidopro

I agree.... but I'm not expecting it

That’s what happens when we have like $18MM tied to Price and Weber

Well said

True. they should do it now. if there is a chance he wakes the (frank) up before the end of the season.

Solid move, Merrill is underrated
- obie

He’s a #7 on a good team. Underrated how?

Armia? I think both Byron and Lehkonen are more useful to the Habs than Armia

I'll give it to MB, Merril is exaclty the type of player Habs needed. I mentionned it again last night. yes a better player would have been nice (top4 instead of 3rd pairing), but he is still the type of D they needed.
- fidopro

Yes, Merrill is what Habs need circa 1978 LOL

Armia? I think both Byron and Lehkonen are more useful to the Habs than Armia
- obie

Lekhonen is more inconsistent than Armia looking at how many open nets he miss. Byron with his contract and his concussion issue would rather have Armia

He’s a #7 on a good team. Underrated how?
- Justbecause

He's actually pretty reliable, not flashy but dependable and most have never heard of him, you know underrated?

Merrill maybe a good partner for Romanov as he can teach him a few things hopefully
- habs88888

Teach him to be a #7? Does that education take long?

3rd pairing he is fine

Lehkonen brings more speed than Armia, is a better penalty killer, a better forechecker fits the system better and Armia can't stay healthy

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.
- Scabeh

Exactly because they just were not very good maybe

Guys they are both poopty.

Armia can put the puck in the net for PK we have enough bodies that can get it done, I would have agreed with you with Lekhonen a couple of seasons ago

who was hyping verbeek in here like a maniac?

- habs88888

He can but he doesn't... and again, can't stay healthy... Armia is like Turner Stevenson

3rd pairing he is fine
- habs88888

Agreed 3rd pairing in a great team up front which Habs are not. He’s a #7. But ok

they're both overpaid 4th liners

And they can both find new homes in a couple months
