They are getting DESPERATE... - Insider proposes WILD Habs trade - Prospect on FIRST LINE

[@markorr999]

The way our prospect pool is progressing we're not going to have roster spots for everyone........Isn't that an awesome problem to have! Keep up the great work guys, 30 days till MTL vs TOR prospects! Go Habs Go!

[@Theguywholikedthethinginthevid]

Well, we'll, as usual, have half our roster injured within 5 games, so...

[@ghislainlamoureux1475]

If Edmonton don't match the offer sheet I would see them have interest in a young defender that can play now and could move the puck. The Habs have good options for them : Jordan Harris and Jayden Strubble.

[@jlavigne08]

Do the trade, flip Ceci to someone else and cover half the salary and enjoy the pick.

[@jamieh4148]

He's a bad player at this point and no one wants him.

Il nous reste une autre année de misère avant de commender à monter. De cette façon nos deux choix de première ronde du prochain repêchage peuvent être optimisés.

[@jonathanduplantis1403]

Oui. Absolument

[@viper29ca]

I think it Ceci comes with a first? Do that deal in a heart beat. That first can be used to move up in the draft or trade for another player. Hutson, Mailloux and Reinbacher can all use time in Laval. 3 NHL games of experience between them, and other than a full season in Laval for Mailloux, you are only talking 11 games of AHL experience for Reinbacher. Zero reason to rush these 3 to the NHL Makes for Barron, Harris and Struble having a rough time of it. Would assume Ceci would be 3 RD, or do you move Guhle down to 2 LD, Savard up to 1 RD, Ceci 2 RD and let Barron play on the 3rd pairing next to Xhekaj. That d corp means Harris and Struble see very little game time. But hey, if you can get a 1st along with Ceci, and then something else for him at the trade deadline...why the hell not.

[@jacksonbarry5407]

Josh there's a low frequency coming from your mic when you talk. GHG

[@jeandemers8588]

i don.t care if Reimbacher is ahead of Hudson. What we have to focus on is that we have both in our roster.

[@grandcrowdadforde6127]

SO ! looking fwd. to opener! Oct 9 th )) Maple Leaves; in Montreal,,,..

[@ekeats2425]

I don’t see that trade happening given the logjam on D already, that’s a hard pass for me even if it comes with a 1st pick

[@michaelwhelan1481]

Send C C to leval ....no brainer

[@jecrex8349]

The only way it happens is if we get a pick and flip him before training camp.

[@williamarmour1656]

Only as a third party or 3 way deal for a possible top 6

[@DanSmokey-i8w]

I don't think it's in Montreal's future plan to add another d man when they have been rumored to be shipping one out via trade. They have a couple of older d men already, so if they add Ceci, which young guy sits ? Not logical.

[@stephaneferron5317]

Montreal don’t need anymore picks , their next step should be making cap room and room in the lineup for players that have no future in Montreal, Anderson and Gallagher should be what Hughes is working on Montreal already have another 11 picks for next year with all this congestion , there’s no room already , not sure who comes up with these ridiculous trade ideas 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂ Montreal next trade will involve Gallagher, Anderson or dvorak going somewhere along with assets for the purpose of making room

[@RB-wg3qm]

Dvorak is an FA after this year. But, getting more 1st rounder gives us picks to trade away with Anderson or Gallagher for ppl to take them.

[@mr.nihilz3283]

Andy & Gally aren't going anywhere. Dvorak Armia, Savard & Evans traded at TDL and we go from there.

[@AshleyBidensBathTime]

@@mr.nihilz3283 Bingo!! People talk like Montreal is going for the cup this year🤦‍♂️ Habs need 2more seasons just to dump contracts. AND…Hughes won’t be sending ANY 1st round picks to dump players. He will get assets for any traded player

[@mr.nihilz3283]

@@AshleyBidensBathTime Too much EA sports. People are fixated on picks and contracts. Gotta let the core grow and mesh. Losing the confidence of the rebuild over picks is asinine.

[@Theguywholikedthethinginthevid]

I disagree, if we are to have 1 last shit year, let's grab all the picks we can for the upcoming draft, and THEN they can focus on making the difficult changes we need to make it to the playoffs.

[@Matthew-gg7yy]

Perfect trade: Montreal revives: Conor Mcdavid Oilers receive: Future considerations

[@naddyfrancis8650]

😂

[@guysmith1365]

Hughes is all about the draft not trades

[@terrygamache58]

Popcorn is 6'3 well over 200 lbs. Right shot ,who can skate and defend. Remember how young he is....these guys are hard to find. Hutson's game changing skills are also in similar class, which make the argument even harder!! Such great "problems " to have.....GO HABS

[@SteveDion]

Reinbacher will start in Laval and come to Montreal when Savard gets traded at deadline. I see Hutson and WiFi alternating on a line with Savard for the first few months of the season. 3rd pair of Harris/Barron

[@RB-wg3qm]

Then keep Hutson in Laval. The WORST place for him is the bench.

[@SteveDion]

@@RB-wg3qm I’m afraid he’ll get his head taken off in Laval. We can’t expect him to play 80+ games this year. He’s used to playing 30ish in NCAA. He’ll need to get some rest here and there.

[@RB-wg3qm]

@@SteveDion I agree he will need some rest, but 40 gms of rest would be too much, AND, too much rest for WiFi.

[@SteveDion]

@@RB-wg3qm with injuries and trades he could get 50-60. I also have a feeling a left D will leave before the start of the season. Too many outstanding issues around the league (Zegras, McGroarty, Kakko, Laine etc). Somethings gotta give.

[@RB-wg3qm]

@@SteveDion NOW my friend you are talking. IF we can open up room, and acquire a forward asset, I AM ALL FOR THAT. There truly are too many players, AND, even if not to the Habs, how have none of them moved??? That is what I have been wondering for a couple of weeks now.

[@oldhab7890]

Hutson may not make the NHL or stay there long. We all know NHL size stats are, let's say, generous. In competition with boys or non-pro men, Hutson does look good. But, in the NHL, the number of fast skating big men outnumber slow or slight players. The concern is that teams will continually dump the puck in Hutson's corner and send two players in. (Remember this is the Florida Panthers' "forget the puck" strategy of punishing teams at the start of a game.) Even as elusive as Hutson is, he will be absorbing a lot of punishment on a slight frame. I hope I am wrong but realistically I don't think he will be the game changer and be at best a power play specialist.

[@louplou8825]

I think Cody Ceci will better fit a contender team than our Habs 👀

[@travisdecheno5670]

LOL at Ceci...for what a 9th dman? Dumont lol

[@MattySpadez]

Like you said this would take away a valuable spot for a young defenceman. Hence why kovacevic was let go. I dont know how guys like Dumont have careers as analysts/writers... I guess it's a good way to stir the pot though.

[@tonyteti2060]

It’s simple. The staff on a professional hockey team should know which players are ready to make the team. The staff in Montreal have my confidence. Unfortunately the Montreal Canadiens are a very bad team team right now and are going through a rebuild so they probably are not rushing any development. This is probably a good thing because we’re tired of mediocre, we don’t want to compete for playoff spots we want to compete for cups. Unfortunately for Reinbacker, Hutson is above Maillioux and Maillioux is above Reinbacker in my amateur fan opinion. If Montreal was competing for a cup there would be no doubt Maillioux would’ve played last year. If it me I would give them all a fair shake at a spot and if they are significantly better than the current defensive lineup then they make the team but if they are just a little better, then it benefits the team if they Finnish near the bottom again and they win a Championship in AHL and develop. They are all going to be great NHL players… but do they want a cup? Trust the process

[@anthemgrace]

I feel 10 feet tall right now, and strong as an ox

[@Frankcirque]

We gona have draft capital for Gallagher and Savard at the trade deadline even Dvorak maybee too and who knows if Anderson is gona wake up

[@marcusgavin8048]

WE DONT WANT CICI

[@russellsmith4195]

Great show guys

[@jacksparrow77]

Only way i take Ceci is for #1 pick And we trade Savard for another #1 pick

[@darrellhickey1990]

Flip Ceci, by retaining some money.

[@Frankcirque]

Montreal Canadiens have already too much NHL ready defenceman.

[@mikecopley6059]

Take the trade and buy him out!

[@barrycrawford5622]

No, we do not need CC, imho

[@chucktaylor9190]

He got bench during the playoff. No thanks

[@AshleyBidensBathTime]

I’ll take a 1st round pick every time! Take the 1st and Put cici on wavers

[@terrygamache58]

He is an asset......we can flip

[@dav4303]

Have the trade lined up before doing it.

[@Theaveragejoehockeyreport]

Ceci and Nurse put up terrible advanced analytics together. Broberg ended up having to carry Nurse last season in the playoffs. So no to Ceci unless Anderson is gone.

[@Theguywholikedthethinginthevid]

Desperate? I like those odds!

[@mr.nihilz3283]

I don't feel like a team can be successful with Hutson as a 1st pair dman. Hutson is a #3/5 2/3LD to me. With all the PP time. Forget Ceci. Getting another pick is useless at this point. Time to let the kids play and see how the depth chart shakes out.

[@brianmelbourne6842]

Hope not crazy talk

[@RB-wg3qm]

I agree with everyone who says we have enough dmen. BUT, if we get Ceci to flip him quickly, that is proper asset management.

[@wackybigd7065]

Enough draft pick. Give the young defencement playing time

[@grandcrowdadforde6127]

go Away! now }}} summer!
