- OK Guys, it's time to take an updated look at the Montreal Canadiens blueline. With many young defensemen coming up and into the mix.. Kent Hughes is in a situation where he may be FORCDED to make a deal.. Just to allow some room for other kids to crack the lineup in the near future. Lets talk about it!

"Does anyone wanna dman? Kevin? Lou? Pfffft" lmao
15 seconds in, and I audibly laughed out loud! This Junkie fella does not miss 😂
@@valnerothgaming8918 he really is one of da bys
If you locked Harris in a room with a mosquito, the mosquito probably comes out a better person.
😂😂😂
wut
He's the nicest kid you'd ever want to meet.
He may be a nice kid but he needs to go to make room for the youngsters
Keep Struble please! He’s a diamond in the rough with time!
Way too easily turnstyled cuz he just can't skate.
Agreed. Never been a fan of Harris’ game. I’d rather keep Strubel over Barron - defense wins championships. I’d rather have defensive defenseman. Let the offense score the goals now that we’re starting to get a little more fire power upfront.
Bergy?, is that you?
Guhle - reinbacher
hudson - mailloux
Xhekaj - Savard
7st Struble
I'm pretty close to you but, I prefer to expect Guhle and Rainbacher to be a together to defend against big offensive line and match Hutson with Mailloux to be an effective offensive pair. Maybe your're right and Hutson-renbacker and Guhler mailloux would be more balance than my way to do. We will see
It's just that, as much as I love Hutson I dont feel like he gonna be ''THE GUY'' for get 25 minute againts the best of the league on a regular basis. Guhle already prove that he can do that role. Lets Hutson be our's PP GUY, its gonna be enough
@MrLaurentdion20 I think you may be right placing Ghule with Reinbacher
But I'd have Hutson with steady ol Savard and put Mailloux along side Xhekaj they were dominant in the AHL together that way you have offense and defense in each line
I fully understand that we should probably move 1 or 2 defensemen but when I look back and see how young guys like Chelios and McDonagh turned out it scares the bejesus out of me! I find it difficult to tell who has the most potential!
If it’s measuring ceilings of young players, Struble over Barron on pure toughness and hockey IQ.
Had similar thoughts of who we would trade. We gotta make room even Mailloux could work his way into the lineup at some point in the next season to. WE have to make some difficult decisions but good problems to have haha
just perfect.
that said, a stlaney cup winning team has upwards of 12+ defensemen so i would like to keep that pipeline stocked.
Can’t keep it stocked with all top 6 defenseman
@@user-pn3gt2ij5e we sure can!
we are team injury
dude your vids are a vibe and this is coming from a leafs fan!
Getting a little over anxious guys ... We wait for the trades to come to us. We can wait....
Habs haven't had two puck moving defensemen on the powerplay for a long time so I would keep Matheson until his contract runs out.
i would hang on to Matheson unless the trade included a top ten first round pick in next years draft.
Trade him
For assets doesn’t matter what he will end up hurting lane Hutsons development and the teams on ice result two offensive defenseman doesn’t work especially on the same side
@@user-pn3gt2ij5e also to avoid a Anderson 2.0 when you go from a first rounder to a guy who tanks their value and becomes negative value
Matheson is not worth a top ten pick
@@AGrepSTN2M Realistically, he won't get a us top-10 pick, given he's probably gonna move to a cup contender. A 1st round pick isn't out of the question, but it'll be a later one.
Matheson needs to go.
awesome dude love this snippets of knowledge as it pertains to my beloved Habitants
I think your list is spot on be good time to trade Matheson well his ponts are a all time high could help land a top 6 forward
Guhle - Mailloux
Hutson - Reinbacher
XHekaj - Savard
Struble
I like the idea of keeping Savard around. Perfect lockdown D that every contender has or wishes they had. He's one of those guys who won't really slow down with age either since his playstyle doesn't require him to have to skate. Great lineup I just hope we keep Struble around somehow.
Savard is an absolute gladiator. I hope he can stay and retire as a hab whenever that may be. Harris and barron.. yeah i liked kovacevic more than either of them and hes gone so those 2 are clearly expendable
Adam Engstrom plays on the right side and shoots left. Excited to see him a the rookie camp.

@@grandcrowdadforde6127any Newfie is a true Newfie, we’re all bys here
I am 90% with ya brother....the only difference for me is Baron. I would keep Strubble over him. He's like a mini Arber and is better defensively than Justin. As a number 7, I'd rather have a steady tough Dman than a risky Baron. Plus, with Hudson, Ghule and Reinbacker, we are stacked on offensive D. And to be honest, Arber is being underestimated IMO. He is still young and far from reaching his ceiling and with a 107 MPH slapper, he can grow into a beast on the blueline. He's on my second PP pair right now. cheers!
Hutson-Reinbacher
Ghule-Mailloux
Xhekaj-Savard
7th Struble
8th Engstrom
I agree pretty much on everything.
I like keeping Savard as a vet. And the others are most likely the future. But they aren't there yet. So nothing should be made too quick. A month or two is a little soon for my taste but I get that you just can't have everyone either in Laval or scratched. As Ric Flair would say, "You gotta BEAT the man to BE the man.". So they need lots of minutes in the big league to become what we hope.
And as for Matheson's value, it sucks to trade someone JUST because they had a great season and his value is high and you're worried about losing that value. That shouldn't be a concern. I think he's going to keep his value or more for a few seasons still.
It was a big deal when he was brought in to MTL. He's a hometown boy. And he came through for MTL way more than we could've hoped. And he did it on a team that finished almost at the bottom that was starved for goals. So I wouldn't be surprised if he produces even more and his value increases.
So unless he's being traded somewhere that is somewhere that he would love or get a huge pay raise, I see no option of letting him go anytime soon. Until Hutson really REALLY proves himself , I would keep Mike for GOOD.
Rienbacker isn’t playing next year
Matheson could bring a top 6 and and a first rounder. Savard is my pick to trade however.
1:42 Lady is like "wtf are they doing? Are they making out in front of me? Phew! I've got my mask on."
I’m keeping Struble over Barron, if the situation arises where we need to replace a Righty, Guhle swaps back to the right, but Struble is too good as a physical D to move.
agreed, especially moving into a playoff window guys like that are blood money. Plays a shutdown role, and brings physicality while not ever being a liability on the ice
your right about Harris, wouldn't want to lose Struble, some tough decisions they have to make
Matheson - Guhle
Hutson - Savard
Xhekaj - Mailloux
...is what I'd like to see this upcoming season.
Im still not sure if giving up Struble over Barron is a good thing but who knows
I agree with you bob on this one!
Konyushkov and Engstrom are also pretty good prospects
Love it.
I’d rather keep Struble over Barron, but that is just me. Struble is strong and steady. I think he could be extremely valuable for pairing with an offensive man like Hutson. Struble is an asset to this team. Hughes knows his value and so do the rest of us. It is not a gamble to keep him. It certainly is a gamble to trade away a guy like him. If we want to have a chance at making the playoffs and then doing damage in them, I will insist on keeping Struble.
I think it's too soon to decide. Guhle is the only 100% IMO. everyone else needs to Develop.
Future as in this October? I see Mailloux and Reinbacher in Laval. Baron on the 3rd pair RD. So the right looks like Ghule (off side) Savard, Baron. LD: Matheson, Hutson and Arber X. Struble rotating in on the Left side. Harris traded.
Nah, the future is likely hitting the 2026-27 season when Matheson's contract expires. By then, the Habs should have a pretty established D-core from the prospects they have.
Keeping them down one more year won't hurt at all. They can bring them up end of the season again to give them some experience to get ready for the 2025-2026 season where they are basically shoe-ins to the lineup
Yup my D lineup is the exact same as yours.
One of the positives is that time is on our side. You can have Hutson, Mailloux and Reinbacher play in the AHL and play some minutes down there. There's no rush.
What about the kov Russian def guy we have? And egstrom?
Agree with most of this. I been thinking the same with Matheson(sell high) plus the leftside is full full plus Chewbacca is a better mentor for the boys. I would rather keep Struble over Barren he plays soft
I like your lineup. The important thing is for the team to start trading some of these prospects so we can stack the forward lines. Bring some up from Laval and trade those who have had some NHL time, like Strubel, who can help another team.
Hutson-reinbacher
Guhle-mallioux
Struble-barron
Would be my pairing in 3-4 years. Trade matheson at the trade deadline getting at least a first rounder and then package that first round and harris to get a big player for the top 6 (like necas or zegras) or a elite goalie ( askarov or dostal) and the rebuild is pretty over after this
I can see Harris and Matheson and possibly Barron being traded. But I see Struble, Xhekaj, Mailloux, and Reinbacher having Canadiens written all over them. Savard, though, is the senior VP of defense.
i gotta disagree on this one, personally mike matheson needs to stay. i completely agree that his value right now is through the roof but a guy like that we need to help shore up the D. especially when the offense has a hard time going. Barron? Gone 110%. As for Harris and Strubel? I could go either way with those 2 but i'd keep Toaster Struble. as for Popcorn, Mailloux and Cale Makar 2.0, i dont think Popcorn will quiet make it yet to the big leagues, as much as i like to see him opening night, dont think hes there yet TBH, but im probably wrong on that one.
Habs need more points. Can’t see them letting Matheson’s points going anywhere
Engstrom is the wild card, isn't he? I'd like to see what he can do.
Make Matheson a forward, I think he would be good there, he’s up there all the time anyway! lol
Reinbacher, Mailloux & Struble are waiver exempt. No problems at all.
62 points, can go coast to coast, home town-does every presser in French! In 3 years when the Habs might be on the cusp, maybe they’ve matched that contribution. Right now Savard, Harris and Struble should be shopped. They are all familiar in the NHL. As it stands hyped-up Hutson is not an NHL player with any work sample. Maybe by the trade deadline Matheson will be on the radar of a contender, and the newbies get more of a look. Baron is already a fast gifted 6’-2’ NHL tested offensive defenseman and is very very young. If his D grit grows…a keeper. Logan and Reinbacher will grow into to 4 D men.
I hear Savard is being shopped around!
Why though? We gonna get a 4th round pick for em? His value at the deadline could be a late first round pick.
@@seanmyers5703 Not my decision, like Junkie said, I would trade Barron first.
Savard might have a better value, as for Matheson, I don't think he wants to be traded, he will have to make himself indispensable.
@@JunkratJoules Does he have a NMC?
@@seanmyers5703 Savard is worth at least a 2nd right now but a 1st at the deadline.
@@seanmyers5703 I don't know, he is 30 now and only has 2 more years on his 4.9M$ contract, I'm pretty sure he would take a huge pay cut to stay. He's a homeboy!
If not, maybe loan him at the trade dealine for some great picks or prospects and get him back a year later on free agency. I would not trade Matheson this summer. Harris or Savard maybe!
Not sure they trade Matheson yet but Savard is likely gone at trade deadline for a 1st rounder or a package for a top 6 forward. If both Mailloux and Barron look good starting the season then Savard will be traded as likely Reinbacher will be pushing for his place by mid season. That means Guhle goes back to left and now Matheson is trade bait and would bring a good package if he continues racking up points. Good thing about Guhle is he can switch sides and so can Hutson so we have two versatile Dmen.
Play Lane as forward.😊
Jayden Struggle isn't cutting it this year he's out...
We need to keep chewbacca
I think you make a point talking about Matheson. i do not think he is part of the long term plan. And with a guy like Hudson this year, i fear he will make less points. And if he does, his value is gonna diminish. So that being said, I think this is the right time to trade him
Matheson instead of savard his offence outweighs everything
"Dont want to trade Matheson" He is the best value for a player that will be outside of the competitive window in a few years. Guhle is ready for 25 mins per night and they have Savard. I'd rather have a 5th or 6th D be our veteran than a 1 or 2 that we wont need when his value has dropped.
All depends what we get in return
I’d swap Savard for Matthesson. Not sure if I’d want Hutson or Reinbacher with the big club this season either
Like your B Line
what would they even trade matheson for? the habs seem pretty set tbh maybe a goalie upgrade + picks?
Gimme
Lane - Reinbacher
Guhle - Logan M
Arber - Struble
When we’re ready to compete
When you get 62 points and still have a -24 differential, it tells you a lot on Matheson defensive game.
Ok check out Steven Stamkos.
Got his points on the power play and had to lead the team in ice time. His defensive game is actually pretty good. I literally watched every game. You?
You dont get a positive plus minus on the PP, if you look at plus minus as a key for finding out who's good or not, your very mistaken lol
@@OllieMitchellsyeah he isnt amazing defensively but far from a liability. Very similar to brandon montour
If he got 2 points in his first 2 NHL games than he needs to stay on the roster
Ngl I have no interest in keeping Savard around till the end of his contract, I'd trade him before the season starts or at the deadline also the way I look at Barron is that him Hutson, and Mailloux all are offensive defenseman and Barron has the lowest upside so he wouldn't be on either pp lines in the upcoming future so trade him for a young forward, (Necas)
No runts
Baron with Harris to Jets, and Kent likes Matheson.
Matheson, Guhle
Huston, Mailloux
Xhekaj, Reinbacher
Struble
Or
Guhle, Mailloux
Hutson, Reinbacher
Xhekaj, Savard
Struble
YES!
Not a chance in hell Savard is here past the trade deadline, unless they just want to let him walk and get nothing for him. Matheson will likely be gone the following year.
Future D after Savard and Matheson go, so like in 3 seasons from now.
Hutson Guhle
Engstrom Reinbacher
Xhekaj Mailloux
Protz
Need Savard to pair with Hutson until the trade deadline, trade away Savard, bring up Reinbacher to take his place
Matheson to insulate him from top line minutes, and then once Matheson is in his contract year, he gets traded and Hutson moves up 1LD
Would go All-In! Trade Matheson-Savard for an offensive upgrade and rely on the futur with 8 young D:
Hutson-Guhle
Xhekaj-Reinbacher
Struble-Mailloux
Harris-Barron
can't ditch Matheson for at least another year.
I don't dislike Barron but I think it's time to trade him, he got passed by others
Mailloux is ready, play hutson With popcorn as a duo in ahl?
Trade Barron to the Jets to play with his brother for Elhers (we would have to add more of course )
I have a feeling Hutson and Mailloux have a shot at overtaking Harris, Struble and Barron. Mailloux might move up and down the NHL and AHL tho
to trade Matheson would be easy but l you get for him? unless its a top 6 winger its a no go. Savard has one year left so trade him now and max out his value to a cup contending team like Dallas or Edmonton or Winnipeg. Matheson will still be valuable for the the next three to 5 years.
NEED MORE VIDEOS BROOO
Struble needs to stay. Barron needs to find his consistency this year or he's gone.
-Hutson -Guhle
-Xhekaj-Reinbacher
-Struble-Mailloux
7 man Barron
Trade matheson and Harris
FYI Mailloux (and Micheal Hage) has basically missed a year of development. That's a lot for a D.
Struble over Barron
Oilers will be more then happy to take Guhle off your hands the hometown boy deserves to play with the Oil and get a cup ring, we'll offer you a used cody ceci in return.
Urs is pretty much what I want to see
Hutson is a lock
Ewww brother what’s that….lol. Would dump savard and keep Mathieson, although I know the latter would fetch more. And seeing now that I’ve typed this and the video has played out you said the same dam thing 😂😂
I have the exact same roster as you except no Savard and we get Struble. Yes Savard is basically a goalie but hes 33! He probably will wanna leave to a contender soon. But other then that. Great future at defense.
im just a habs fan brain storming here dont grill me for this, but i feel like the closer we get to september, the more gm's know that we're desperate to move pieces which lowers the value of our moveable pieces, our cards are on the table and teams know it and the offers reflect that and hughes wont just give em away so we're at a stand-still with declining value. worst case ontario, they play with the rocket and just get called up if we deal with more injury shit
This team always has injuries, might want to take a change with 8 d-men and send two down.
What if Lil’ Xhekaj brings the same X factor as Arber but is more valuable as a forward then Arber is as a defensemen? Is it possible Florian makes Strubble or someone the better choice over Arber? I think that makes sense and could be possible but I don’t like it!!!!💔😢
Keep Matheson until the kids mature. Trade Savard, Barron, and Harrison
Strubel over Harris
Logan gets that spot.
Agree with your choices. Like what Savard brings and will continue to help younger blue liners. Plus his contract is 1 year.
I'd go with Logan and Arber together. They had good chemistry in Laval.
Not enough experience between the two of them..But they would punish the opposing lines with their combined weight!
I'd be tempted to keep Struble over Barron and see who else moves up the chart when he presumably would have more value in a year or two. Guaranteed there'll be injuries too.
I like the new sign off and I agree with all your lineup
Like you : 👹 ChRiStiAn 👺
😂😂😂😂
Guhle - Mailloux
Hutson - Reinbacher
Xhekaj- Barron
Engstrom - Konyushkov
Though call, I do appreciate your getting your feet wet. Thanks!
I'm not that thrilled about your projected D men lineup... looks mid as hell, again and again a .500 team at best.
Agree with this. And it scares me :)
Need to trade Harris and Savard
