Weber is the only one who might be considered a slower dman and he is still faster than Markov was for the last 5 years of his career.

yeah I wouldn't necessarily describe our D as old and slow. Would love to have more creative offensive minded D though for sure. We really need Norlinder to hit imo. Hopefully Brook too. I'm not as bullish as I was but I think people cooled on him WAY too quick.

I'm excited about Romanov. Watching him in the WJC I think his game will translate very well into the NHL. People talk about his hitting but that's not a big part of the game anymore. This kid has great poise. He closes the gap incredibly. Probably better than any prospect I've seen in a long time. He moves the puck out of his zone very well. STill not sure how his offense will develop in the NHL but even without any great offensive game this guy will be rock back there. I see a very good career for this young man.

I'm looking at the others teams. Look at Tampa

None of our big man skates like Hedman or Sergachev (maybe Petry is near), and they had Shattenkirk. Bogosian/Mcdonagh are similar to Chiarot/Edmundson in terms of mobility.

Should I also mention Colorado with Makar, Girard, Johnson, Zadorov.

That's just talking about skating/mobility and not talent.

Our D looks like the Bruins when they won in 2011, ten years ago. It's built to compete in the Derian Hatcher era. I'm really hoping that Romanov bring all his cockiness to skate skate skate with the puck.

I should not have said old, it's not too old.

Smart for her to lock him up before he signs his big contracts and moves to Montreal

He should have taken a bridge marriage.

Just like when some people should not have vaulted Poehling to the top of their rankings with his hat trick and shootout winner in his debut, along with his WJC performance, we should not plummet Brook way down the barrel just yet either. This is a big year for him though to see where he stands.

I"ve said it a hundred times, Brook turning the corner is a great sign. With prospects at this age, you have to be a lot more 'what have you done for me lately?'

If he regresses after a positive finish, it's not good obviously. But he has something to build on.

I agree with the sentiment that Edmunson, Weber, Chiarot, etc. make this D a bit too one-dimensional, but Petry is big and he's one of the best skating blue-liner in the league.

Good luck understanding if you don't speak Russian. But here is Romanov with these guys:

Romanov skates well and Kulak can also fly.

Edmunson is not known as a slow dman, and I think Chiarot is alright too.

Lest we forget the Tsar!

Really its like we've added 5 players now

Cannot wait for the start of the season

yeah people need to consider we added Edmundson AND Romanov.

Weird how pumped people are about him yet few seem to include him in our list of additions to our team next year.

I don't know how good he'll be off the hop but I feel at the very least he can be an improvement to start.

Roadhouse · Oct 17, 2020

Every post-offseason article written so far by league reporters mentions him for the Habs. It's so awesome he doesn't have to start a la Mete with massive TOI. We might see fired up Romanov every shift he takes or so..!!

Well I think people are mainly pumped about him long term.

Management, at least, seems to be also pumped about him right off the hop.

Could almost add Evan's to the list. He only played 13 regular season game with us last year.

BenchBrawl · Oct 17, 2020

Don't expect too much out of a young dman. This should be a golden rule ingrained in our pyramid of shared assumptions.

Dman peak later. I still expect him to be pretty good, but we will see his real value around 2023-2025.

Kudo Shinichi · Oct 18, 2020

Other than Kotkaniemi, Romanov is the other guy that could benefit a lot from playing somewhere before the season starts

I strongly disagree with the notion that you can't win with an old-school lineup. It's about effectiveness, not style. The league's trends may have shifted, but the rules haven't in large part. Soon enough, a team will build a big, punishing team and win, it'll be all the rage again.

Now, our defense is severely outclassed talent-wise by Colorado and Tampa. That's the issue. But dubbing a player worse than another on style makes little sense IMO.

I can't for the life of me understand why Mete and Juulsen aren't playing in Europe right now.

They've both lost development time

Mete needs the gym more than the rink tbh

"I wouldn't be surprised if Romanov plays himself into a top 4 role by the end of this season." -Mike Johnson

Offseason winners? Johnson starts with MTL then it's COL, BUF, FLA and VGK.

Nice shot. Funny Insta account, they introduce the clip with bomb emoji, fire emoji and bicep emoji? :laugh:

There he's playing on the right. Pretty sure he starts on the right in MTL.

I like Johnson but let's be real he's a big Habs homer. In the TSN broadcasts anyways. Not that I disagree with him

He does like us. I liked him too when he played here. But this is NHL Network content, not TSN.
