I don’t like the idea of taking Mailloux Hutson or Reinbacher out of laval for the 24-25 season. They need to ride out some veteran contracts and what better time to stack your farm team and create a winning culture.Apparently hughes rebuffed at the TDL any trade offers for habs young Dmen.
I think they'll try for a Dach / Newhook type move this summer.
I don't think they'll chase as a UFA or trade for any forwards over 25.
Reinbacher has looked very good in a small sample size in Laval, and while They may give Hutson games at the end of the year, I think they both play in Laval next year.
there's 0 chance habs pick is in play yet, and certainly not till after the draft. I wouldn't trade 5th overall for Zegras. If some teams move for a dman then Demidov or Lidstrom could be in play.
I believe Hughes will make the Winnipeg and Calgary 1sts available along with some of the 2nds + Barron who is out of waiver options, maybe Savard, Kovacevic and Harris.
I think they want to make room for Mailloux next season. He's having a great year in Laval.
If habs can go into the 24-25 year with slafkovsky ((who's getting better by the game) , Suzuki, Dach, Caufield + top 5 pick and a trade, they'll be in the mix for a wild card spot. I don't think they make it, but being competive next year, beyond losing so many 1-goal games, will be the priority
I don’t know lavals contract situation but it would be nice to see Roy and company there to start next season and be called up towards the end of the season ( another top10 pick hopefully ) and really kick start the 25-26 season.
