Whenever you are feeling down, just remeber we have Demidov and it will put a smile on your face.

[@gazzarip]

What makes Habs fans smile ????? Demidov Hutson Mailloux Reinbacher Roy Fowler Kapanen Tuch Hage Beck Mesar Koivu Engstrom Kidney Ferrell F.Xhekaj and this isnt the end of their prospect list

[@JJ-et7il]

I've waited my whole life to see something like this. Have wanted a proper rebuild since before MB came along. Thank god Hughes is our GM now and we're doing a rebuild, the right way too no shortcuts.

[@bigpopa8751]

I'm looking at the same list of guys! 🎉

[@juliencormier8760]

Agreed with Stu regarding our current HABS management team: The adults are in charge! Well said Stu! 👍

[@JJ-et7il]

Thank you for defending PK. He doesn't even deserve 10% of the shit he gets. Fuck all the haters.

[@shmitzysays]

Stu loves that story about Nick asking for Slaf on his line, even though Marty literally told him he doesn’t remember it.

[@user-jq8mg9xp3u]

Totally agree Tony the way these new drafted players communicate shows a lots of great communication and smart

[@dav4303]

Burrows played ECHL and was one of Vancouvers best players

[@doubllechief6926]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a dynasty in the works. In 5 years we could have the most stacked top 9 and back 6 in the league. Hughes and co. have made a rebuild in the toughest market look like light work so far.

[@powers1500]

The habs will surely turn into a playoffs team for several years. I kind of doubt about a dynasty though. Some other teams are also presently rebuilding and will likely be very good too.

[@adamCarter20]

😅😅😅 holy God dude, pump the breaks, yes the Habs SHOULD have a contending team, but a dynasty? nah

[@doubllechief6926]

@@powers1500 do they have 20 year old future 100 points scorers voluntarily signing for 8 years below market value while the cap's going up? Nope. Habs are executing the best rebuild in the league right now and it's not even close.

Anaheim could be a problem

Would it be time for Lecavalier to step up behind the bench?

If Suzuki, Caufield and Slaf were playing in TO they would be making 11.5 million + each

[@thartley16]

Not true

[@MrCordedebois]

Good job!

[@markdesantis8343]

I believe we will start the season with the current roster, After Monday Habs can easily be bottom 3. San Jose & Hawks Bought good players.

[@marcLeveille6056]

How much and for how long for Ghule? also one year left. Will be interesting.

[@dav4303]

Yes we need to give Laine a chance can you imagine if it works.

[@gazzarip]

Not a chance with his contract!!!!!!

[@stongef]

We don't need spoiled little princesses on our team. If we get an older talent, it will influence our youngsters, so we need a positive influence.

[@dav4303]

It’s 2 years which 2 to 3 is what we are looking for. We have the cap space to do it. What is he actually going to do to our prospects don’t think our young men are that impressionable. If he is toxic he only hurts himself. I don’t see LA falling apart because of PLD. I don’t want us to always play it safe. What are we going to do draft our championship team. We will spend our life saying we can compete in 2 years. Right now I don’t think our top prospects except Roy Hage and Beck even have a chance of being top 6. We do have other leaders on this team. I get that his contract is high but why was he given it in the first place we can contend but not win without top talent. Look at the top 4 teams in the Stanley Cup every team we would trade straight up our team for theirs. Yes even with Demidov.

[@Bartman721]

Sick!!!

[@loquaciousguy77]

They wouldn't have had Celine Dion lined up if they weren't sure about Demidov.

[@juliencormier8760]

Q: If Demidov wouldn't have been available, which player(s) would have been next on the list for the HABS?

[@bigpopa8751]

I would say Lindstrom. Otherwise, probably a defenceman.

[@thartley16]

Doesn't matter now. We got Demidov so pointless

[@juliencormier8760]

@@thartley16 It's not pointless, it's a 'what if' question.

[@victorjoseph8948]

I realy like Burrows but yes it takes a more experienced powerplay coach. but I still like Burrows had a good player career.

20 year old kids don't care bout the $$$$ it is the greedy agent witth short arms and deep pockets. The agent gives 0 f's if they win a cup

[@emmettebramble10]

My ass they don't care about the money, kids are the worst when it comes to that.

I think hiring an assistant coach would create internal conflict with Marty one wants to win one wants more to develop

[@courvilleg1]

Montreal can not attract free agents. Taxes, dollar value, pressure, closed French society. You are right have to sign young stars to long term deals

[@kevmccart6902]

Has to be the longest intro ever! Wish the chat got 10+ minutes like your theme and sponsors get?

[@caseyr5554]

The reason our power play is bad forever is after 57 seconds our first line gis off...period

Most annoying intro song of all time. Just put some chill instrumentals. Wakes up the whole house.

[@randylavoy6196]

Why did Hughes make a pitch to Winnipeg for McGorty using Kovacevic as a part of a package ..!! They know him ...and Kovi would probably enjoy going back to his former team !! Instead ..he has to include other players ...and has a 4th round in2026 ..!!!!?? Maybe a missed opportunity.!!

[@gazzarip]

Why would Winnipeg want back a player they gave up on???? 1 step forward 2 steps back isnt what a GM strives for

[@powers1500]

We aren't the only team with assets that wants him. Winnipeg is just waiting for the highest offer, so it may take time prior it gets done !!!

[@powers1500]

In order to add another genuine top6 forward...it will be costly. You have to give to receive in a trade. Do Montreal have the assets to get a real top6 players without weakenning the futur of the team ??? It would likely be cheaper to get McGroarty out of Winnipeg. Time will tell !!!
