Mr. Hughes and the management team have been straightforward, respectful and honest with the fanbase and with the players as well from the beginning. This is a recipe for success as their communication fosters understanding, patience and support from HABS fans. If it takes another 3 years for the HABS to become competitive for Lord Stanley's Cup as the rebuild continues, so be it. I'm on board 100%! 👍
Love the channel and the progression of the production but Jesse is still louder than Josh. Loving the better production. This channel and Hockey Junkie are my 2 must watches every day.
Thank you for all the hard work. We really appreciate it and hope you guys grow huge as I believe you will as long as you keep up the hard work. You guys have a good thing going here.@@HabsDigest
Player agents could become the pool for NHL GM s of the future primarily because of the respect they show for players. They do not treat players as commodities or poker chips. They have demonstrated a sincere desire to accommodate a player and the family when a trade becomes necessary. They are good communicators and straight shooters.
Price, Gally, Savard, Armia and Dvorak are the main issues! It will cost us draft picks for price that's for sure... ( he will come back for a 1 day to retire) the rest can only be traded at the deadline for a 5th round draft pick ( save cash for next season)
I hate the idea of Gally and Price retiring with another team,however,I have been a Habs fan since 1959,and my absolute love for this team,regardless of good or bad,far supersedes my feelings for either player. Sorry for the long run-on sentence.
I feel that both players would be open to signing a one day contract to retire as a Hab. They know that their contracts are weighing down on the cap situation and that Montreal has to do what's best.
I'm sick of the clickbaits, you make it look like he JUST said something today and you are recycling words out of his mouth from the post draft comments...
Whether Price and/or Gallagher are traded is irrelevant to me personally. Our allegiance as fans is to the progress of the CH as a team, not to any individual players.
That Florians hit was rightfuly called by ref, but it was not dirty. This kind of play, can put other team out of their zone. Marchand has 3 or 4 hits like this per game :D
What if in a year or two when the team has matured, Carey comes back healthy to win the cup. A premier goalie who is revigorated with the right amount of money off the books. Oh one could dream.....haha
Wideman is a 7th or 8th defenseman and only played 46 games last season...would you want a young defenseman getting his minutes or just sitting in the stands not playing??? They are better off in the AHL having a lot playing time. I don't think Wideman is the guy you absolutely have to get rid of...since he does not cost much nor he steals ice time from anybody !!!
"compete" a player that does not like to lose anything board battles faceoffs 1 on 1's they have to win every single battle and yep those type of players matter a lot. Hughes does not have any strategy for the cap because he doesn't yet know how well each prospect will turn out.I can tell you they over paid Nick and Cole and that will make it tough to give future top prospects the money they deserve or will want. I will make a bold prediction because I know how stupid managers are.I predict that if this team ever makes the playoffs Hughes will go out and pay too much for a goalie thinking it will make a difference.Bringing in a over paid goalie will force him to ship out some quality talent to make cap room. How well did the NYR do last year acquiring Kane......not well.How well did Washington do acquiring the prior Stanley cup goalie.....not well.What kind of a difference died Binnington make for StLouis?
Tbh the Florian thing is cute and all but there is literally nothing at all to back up his chances at even the AHL nvm the NHL, Arber had some raw tools before he made the Habs...u cant even find a Florian highlight that isnt a fight....i dunno man i'd love to be proven wrong but this one seems pretty unrealistic
i love price and Gally and want them to stay with the habs. However, we have seen good players come and go throuhout the years. i am really confident in the Habs new management and will support their decisions
I say get Price away from this team if you can. He quit on his teammates, plain and simple. His presence now (when he actually feels like 'blessing' the team with it) is just a distraction from the job at hand. Buh-bye. In my books, Gallagher is the guy who deserves to stick around and retire a Hab.
Anderson is top6 in Montreal or Columbus, not on a contender. Around 30 points a season isn’t much and that’s playing top line minutes with often the best players in Montreal and Columbus. The fact he has a part time scoring touch puts him among the best talents for a third line around the league, but his contract makes him uninteresting for his actual chair. To trade him, Montreal will have to retain 50% (2.75) and maybe they would get something interesting in return at the deadline where a solid 3rd liner/pair is worth a 1st or 2nd round pick sometimes. He could fit basically anywhere under these circumstances.
I don't understand the greed of this next generation. Price needs to retire asap. If Mario Lemieux could retire, leaving huge money on his contract, so can Price. Yes, I understand Lemieux is brilliant and Price is dumb as rocks, but that's no excuse.
You don't understand that Price may have damaged his body permanently in net and wants to be paid his contract? Also pro tip: If you ever talk that disrespectfully out loud about Price in Montreal you may get assaulted (not by me)
Mario took a 25% ownership stake in the team in lieu of the $26 million he was owed on his contract that ended up being worth $350 million when the team was sold. Nobody is giving up million$ out of goodness of their heart.

Where did Kent Hughes say that?

Really appreciate that! I'll fix up the audio. Thank you!

I believe Arbor and Florian are playoff players. They have that Perry, Katchuk feel. Maybe not to the production level but the physicality for sure
My least favorite adjective for a prospect is now unicorn

The way Jesse is all serious and then when Josh says ''unicorn'' he totally loses it, it is funny.

FIX THE AUDIO!! Almost unwatchable
Check you mic volume, Josh. 20% lower than Jesse.
why can't I find a link to the Florian play?
He doesn't exist. You don't exist.

I searched for vids and limited them to the past week

i mean.. we love carey, we love gally, but we prefer lord stanley !
Not sure who would be wiling to take the Price contract. Guessing we keep some of it or it will cost 2+ 1st rounders lol
I wonder what it was like for them growing up. How many times did they kick each other's ass?

Our allegiance as fans is to the progress of the CH as a team, not to any individual players.
The teams is always what it's all about. Players come and go. Doesn't mean every outgoing player triggers the same feelings among the fanbase.
Keep Anderson and let Gally go. Love Gallager but the way he plays, he won't last too long.
thats right.
Always gotta make the best move for the club. Price would always sign a 1 day contract to retire a hab anyways
That Florians hit was rightfuly called by ref, but it was not dirty.
This kind of play, can put other team out of their zone. Marchand has 3 or 4 hits like this per game :D
I don't see how they can move huge contracts like Price and Gallagher. Maybe Kent is saying Armia and Wideman 🤞
What if in a year or two when the team has matured, Carey comes back healthy to win the cup. A premier goalie who is revigorated with the right amount of money off the books. Oh one could dream.....haha
❤love the videos! Great work…Go Habs Go!
I’d get rid of Wideman to make room for young upcoming defencemen we have in the backstore.
Wideman is a 7th or 8th defenseman and only played 46 games last season...would you want a young defenseman getting his minutes or just sitting in the stands not playing??? They are better off in the AHL having a lot playing time. I don't think Wideman is the guy you absolutely have to get rid of...since he does not cost much nor he steals ice time from anybody !!!
I love Arbor, he’s a hockey player.
Getting rid of Gally, Armia, Price’s contract would be epic, there’s no way Gally is retiring as a Hab, just not in the cards.
Ship Price out for "x" years. Bring him back for retirement. Work that into a deal.
i wouldnt trade Josh Anderson unless its for a BIG return. Gallgher I would move but I haven't given up on him either and never will
Gally and Andy must stay, but gallys contract hurts
Gallagher has always been overvalued by fans, and now he has an unmovable contract.
Question: is hughes talking to the fans or to habs ownership with that quote?

i love price and Gally and want them to stay with the habs. However, we have seen good players come and go throuhout the years. i am really confident in the Habs new management and will support their decisions
How much does he weigh?
bout tree fiddy
Andy must stay gally must be gone by the end of the season
The younger Xhekaj has potential. NICE!
NO WAY !!!
Those kids are late bloomers, lots of luck to them.

Eh that hit was not that bad
Treasure chest ? 🤔
Is Kent Hugues a RPG player ?

The fact he has a part time scoring touch puts him among the best talents for a third line around the league, but his contract makes him uninteresting for his actual chair.

He could fit basically anywhere under these circumstances.
ohohoh! that Stevens keep your head up hit !! hahahaha heads up!
