I gotta say, finishing where we did was the worst possible scenario.

But we're not an old team overall, lots of young guys coming in soon.... there is cause for cautious optimism.

There will be no optimism.

Yeah, I wonder about that one...

Domi had a good start in Az, and then disappeared.

So, I guess we wonder whether he now disappears in Montreal. I kind of think he is happier to be there and will continue to be as good as he was this past year.

- Aetherial


I think you're right. I think Domi is a great player, but he wants to be recognized for it. He's got an ego. That's not fed in Arizona. I think if you pump him up, he'll go. He has a serious competitive fire.

I'd be more worried about Drouin never really showing that same passion that Domi has. I don't see a lot of Habs games, but he seems to show up when he wants.

That'll be offset if Poehling scores 246 goals, though.

I hope the Habs improve, I just have a feeling they needed a few more down seasons to get back to where they need to be. Hope im wrong, sick of seeing Boston/Tampa

My Team

K. Hayes 6.5M Matthews 11.6M Marner 10M

Lee 5.5M Tavares 11M Bracco 842K

Hyman 2.3M Brassard 3M Kapanen 2 M

Marleau 1.5M Gauthier 675K Moore 775K

Spare 550K





Rielly 5M Pesce 4M

Muzzin 4M Zaitzev 4,5M

Sandin 925K Dermott 863K

Rosen 750K


Anderson 5M

Mcelhinary 650K


First thing is pay Marleau his 3M bonus on July 1st trade his rights and 4th rd pick to NHL cap dumping ground Arizona with agreement they release him and we sign him at 1.5M/yr (right thing and classy thing to do) but plays on 4th line.

I trade Nylander & Kadri for Pesce and 2019 1st rd pick

Trade Johnson for 2nd or 3rd
Trade Brown for 3rd or 4th
Trade Sparks for what ever pick you can get. Babcock don't like him
We need picks as we need cheap quality players to back fill this top end heavily paid forwards.

Sign HEAVY wingers in Hayes 6'5" (6.5 x 6yrs) and Andres Lee (5.5 x6 yrs) 6'3" Sign C Brassard 3M x 2yrs

Total 81.93M
NHL Cap allotted amount 83M

Be NICE..lol

1 goal in game 7. Never gave the team a chance

Down goes Brown;

Interesting... ref pairings from Leafs/Bruins game two mess and Knights/Sharks game seven both done for the year.


That’s not surprising.

Which is why he tore his ACL.

See? That's why Babcock doesn't play the stars. He cares about preventing ligament damage. Now it all makes sense.

Makes perfect sense..

Have to think that Gardiner is not part of the core going forward.. Although, he really helped the Bruins win Game 7. Maybe Gardiner was part of the Bruins core?
