Line Combos: Early look at the 23-24 Habs

[Hickflyer]

?-Suzuki-Caufield

RHP-Dach-Anderson

Slafkovsky-?-Ylonen

Pitlick-Belzile-Gally

Pezzetta



Defense

Guhle-Matheson

Harris-Sevard

Xhekaj-Barron

Kovacevic



Goalies

Allen-Montembeault



First I am assuming we are not winning the Bedard lottery. There should be quite a few offseason trades. I like Anderson playing with Dach and RHP than Caufield. Third line is difficult, forth is a guess.

I think defense is set as well as the goalies. Feel free to fill in the gaps

Where's Dubois?

 

[domiwroze]

Where's Bedard

 

[WeThreeKings]

Samuel Montembeault 3.69 GAA .898 Save Percentage.

 

[Habs13]

To start, I'd switch Spinnach and Slafkovsky. And what did you do with Hoffman and Glass Armia? Edmunson?! If they were traded, what did they bring back??

 

[red devil]

Farrell and Heineman should both have an opportunity of making the lineup next year

 

[Andy]

Where is Dvorak and Evans? How did you get rid of Hoffman and Armia?

 

[Team_Spirit]

OP made Bergevins boys dissapear like Samantha

Edmundson, Dvorak, Evans, Hoffman, Armia bye bye

 

[Canadienna]

Caufield - Suzuki - Dach
Slafkovsky - Dubois - Anderson
Harvey-Pinard - Dvorak - Gallagher
Pezzetta - Evans - Armia
Ylonen

Guhle - Barron
Matheson - Savard
Xhekaj - Kovacevic

Habs trade FLA 1st, Harris, and Kidney to WPG for Dubois. Edmundson on LTIR. Probably a bubble team with this lineup, assuming we don't have so many injuries again.

 

[StCaufield]

Samuel Montembeault 3.69 GAA .898 Save Percentage.

His advanced stats are top 10 but I wouldn’t call him a starter at the moment. Those numbers are topical

 

[sandviper]

Where is Dvorak and Evans? How did you get rid of Hoffman and Armia?

That's like EPIC work as a GM to trade the Hoff and Army. Perhaps he'll be able to turn Dvorak and Evans into McDavid.

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

And where's Mailloux?

 

[lamp9post]

In other words, 2022-23 Part II?

 

[Canadienna]

And where's Mailloux?

In Laval please!

I'm really hoping that they take full advantage of Laval next year. Lots of guys who could potentially make the team.

 

[CapSpace]

And where's Mailloux?

In Bettman's head.

 

[Wats]

Ugly, here's hoping Habs win lottery and nab Dubois

 

[Treb]

And where's Mailloux?

In the AHL?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

How did we get rid of Armia & Hoffman?

Also, while Dvorak & Evans have some value as centers, we traded them for nothing?

Farrell - Suzuki - Caufield
Slafkovsky - Dach - Anderson
Gallagher - Dvorak - Hoffman
RHP - Evans - Armia
Ylonen, Pezzetta

Matheson - Barron
Guhle - Savard
Harris - Xhekaj
Edmundson - Kovacevic

UFAs: Monahan, Drouin, Dadonov
AHL: Pitlick, Heineman, Belzile, Wideman, Roy

One extra player, hopefully, we're able to move Edmundson.

This is assuming we don't draft Bedard or Fantilli. Both of whom are playing in NHL next year for sure.

This is how it should be done as of now...I prefer that to those dreamers that magically erase players and their contract and magically add some players to their line-up.

Every players is a variable and every time those variables change, it's back to the drawing board.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I'm expecting this:

Monahan re-signed for 1 year since we couldn't capitalize on his return this year.
Edmundson doesn't go anywhere, no value on the trade market with his injuries.
Savard stays.
Anderson stays.
Armia waived to the AHL.
Hoffman bought out.
Gallagher stays.
Drouin walks as UFA
Dadonov traded for a mid round pick at the trade deadline.
Allen traded for a pick and a NHL/AHL experienced tweener goalie at the draft.
Farrell signs at the end of his Harvard season.
Beck stays with the team because they don't want to send him back to Peterborough.
Pezzetta and Pitlick (does he have any more term?) in the AHL.

Slafkovsky-Suzuki-Caufield

Montembeault
Primeau

Kidney & Roy in the AHL.
Mailloux in the AHL.
Mesar back to the OHL.
Sobolev rights relinquished.
Jared Davidson AHL contract playing in 3R.
Dobes signed to an ELC.
Hutson returns to BU.
Struble signed to ELC starts in 3R.
Tuch returns to BU.
Dichow signed and returned to Frolunda.
Heineman back to Leksands for the final year of his SHL contract (too many bodies in the NHL).

 

[Dach Vader]

I'll just do the top 6.

DUBOIS - DACH - BEDARD
CAUFIELD - SUZUKI - SLAFKOVSKY

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

This time last year(before TDL), would you have guessed:
Monahan
Dach
Dadonov
Guhle
Xhekaj
Slafkovsky
Barron
Matheson
Harris
Kovacevic
??
Thats half the team, you didnt have a clue they'll play this year.

Early looks are useless

 

[The Real Timo]

WHERE IS WIDEMAN?!?!?!?

 

[ML16]

Without any further significant 2023 offseason roster moves :

Slafkovski - Suzuki - Caufield
Farrell - Dach - Anderson / 2023 1st
Hoffman* - Dvorak - 2023 1st / Gallagher
RHP / Ylonen - Evans - Armia
[Heineman / Pezzeta]

Guhle - Savard
Matheson - Barron
Edmundson* / Harris - Xhekaj
[Kovacevic]

Montembault / Allen
[Primeau]

Then, hopefully, by the start of 2024-2025 :

Caufield - Suzuki - Dach
Slafkovski - Dubois (UFA) - 2023 1st
Farrell - Dvorak* / Beck - Anderson / Roy
RHP / Heineman - Evans - Armia* / Ylonen
[Pezzeta]

LTIR : Gallagher

Guhle - Savard
Matheson - Barron
Xhekaj - Harris
[Kovacevic]

Montembault / Allen*
[Primeau]

 

[Dach Vader]

WHERE IS WIDEMAN?!?!?!?

In Laval

Kovacevic > Wideman
