Ive been a Habs fan for 50 years, and i honestly can't remember the last time they had so much young talent in the pipeline that in the next year or 2 at the most, a trade becomes inevitable because we simply don't have the room. I'm glad i don't have to be the one deciding who goes.
hilarious when people say that the habs are small. Slaf and Dach are 6'4 220-230 pounds beast, suzuki is 5'11 205, Guhle Mailloux Xhekaj Reinbacher are all over 6'3. Demidov 6'1, Hage 6'2, Roy 6'0
If you're excited for Arber, get ready for Florian. He will be a key depth player for many years. The NHL isn't ready for the Xhehkaj brothers
Florian will sit in Mike Pezzeta chair soon. Habs needs a dynamic 4th line who can grind the other team with a pace. Florian will play 4th line, not Arber who has to become a role player at defence on the 6 men squad. Logan Mailloux has more up side than Arber. Again tonight, Tony ideas are silly,
@@videopycyou seem to underestimate everything Pierre said about a team having toughness
@@andrewmcinnis2092... we will learn soon all about this.
I think Florian could be,... More than a depth player.. It all depends on his skating. From what I've seen at development camp, for what it's worth, His skating has gotten better. The rest is gravy. He's physical, plays his position at center well, has great hands, and isn't afraid to go to the net. Neither Pazzetta, D'vorak, Evans will all be on the outs. I see Roy as the teams 3rd line center. Hmm.. Just throwing this out there, nothing concrete. Slav, Suzuki, Caufield..... Hage, F Xhekaj, Demidov.... Newh, Roy, Dach,... Tuch, Beck, Kapanen.... That's potentially one heck of a line up..
Going out on a limb, Guhle will get traded. I see the Habs eventually favoring Struble for his toughness. Guhle is talented, but isn't exactly the toughest out there, and is injury prone due mostly of his own account. He has a tendency to place himself in vulnerable positions to get hit in a bad way.

Love the concept of 11&7 and having a d-man as an optional forward.
What a great duo u guys make.
Amazing episode
Great duo
You the man Pierre
good episode.
Kovacevich was traded to make space for a younger player. Can Arber become a reliable defense player able to play on PK? If he cannot clear the front of the net, who will?
Great club deal on Arber, pretty good club deal on Guhle as well.
Don’t need 11-7 to throw Hutson on a 4th line when the time is right.
Also if they need a goal, the 4th line wouldn’t be the line to put him out there with.
I much prefer running Wifi on the 4th line in an 11-7 scenario perhaps on the road if a forward is hurt and can’t bring a replacement in from Laval.
Sick all kinds bro
Harris can play both sides as well.
Assuming Hutson QB's the PP as has been suggested, Matheson will get much less ice time and points given he had 28 on the PP last season. His trade value will diminish so now is the time to trade him and extend Savard's contract as he won't require long term and huge $$$$. This will also open up a position for another young "D".
Should Habs go 11-7 then the only "D" that makes sense to play upfront from time to time is Matheson (if around) given his skating ability and at times his liability on defence.
Arber cannot play upfront as he isn't fast enough and Hutson playing up front given his small frame, would get punished by opposing forwards. The players that Tony & Pierre mentioned who moved about from defence to forward were much bigger and physical than Hutson e.g. Chartraw, Burns and even Jimmy Roberts who was a lot heavier than Hutson.
What are you talking about, he is a great skater and is more than fast enough to play forward.
@@alexrobichaud236 Perhaps you are right. I was thinking in comparison to Matheson.
@@charles6180 yeah comparing to one of the best skaters in the league with the likes of mcdavid and barzal.
@@alexrobichaud236 I personally do not like playing players out of position given they have not trained for that role. Using Guhle as an example, he has taken too many hits to his blind side playing RD.

Remember that goal Lane Hutson scored at the World Championships? Breakaway.
The reality is ... what are the chances the other team is going to take a cheap shot at Montreal's smaller players like Suzuki , Caufield, Hutson , Roy when they know "The Sherriff " will not be happy ?
Hughes nickel-and-dimed Xhekaj to perpetuate the facade of Harris being more valuable to the team. He isn't.
Xhekaj will end this contract with a team that respects him and extends him for respectable money - guaranteed.
in an ideal world over the next 2 seasons as there are too many bodies for the available seats both in Montreal and Laval, the habs need to trade 3-4 d-men. Savard would be one, and then do they trade Matheson next year (or this year ) and 2 of their young players. They are DEEEEEEEEP on D, too deep for practical purposes because they all are in the same age group, but they need to shore up their offence so they have the goods to get them
Tony stop the it trying to change players positions
why is tony on the run?
I don't think Guhle earned the contract he got not to mention the injuries he had and Arber should have got more $$$, I understand the term given his shoulder injuries but he deserved more money.
Arber wifi is an ruthless icbm
Remember when Galchenyuk had the ceiling of Patrick Kane? I mean when the delusional fans existed who believed that... What the fun times:)
Pierre should be on the Habs payroll instead of Lecavalier.
I doubt it can happen since Hughes never was his agent 😂.
Xhekaj isn’t needed to fight
#EndTheSong
Time to trade some of thses small forwards....way to many.
Why, none of the young guys/pipeline are ready, in a year, dvorak,evans,pezz,armia(,big but soft)) are gone, replaced by tuch florian beck etc.
Arber destined to be Habs #1 d man
