Is this the youngest Habs team you have seen in your lifetime?

[yianik]

Forward group probably youngest I have ever seen.

The D before TDL not so much.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

We have a bunch of complimentary and depth players. No real top talent except for Price when he's healthy/happy.

This is not a good team. Major lack of talent and poorly built for the playoffs.

Sometimes I feel like people don't watch or follow other teams when I read the way they talk about the habs' prospects and potential lineups.

Or maybe you just compare those potential lineups to teams that aren't worth comparing to

I'd rather aim to look like the Penguins, Preds or Bolts, not like any of the middle-of-the-road team

Scherbak wouldn't play on a 2nd line in any contending team the way he's progressing right now, and Drouin wouldn't play on a first line on a contending team the way he's playing right now. They possibly would on a team only aiming to make the playoffs, AKA the loser mentality that we've been enduring for 25 years

Seriously... Every teams has a Poehling or Juulsen... or prospects that has the potential to be a 2nd/3rd line or mid pair D..

The standards has become so low here...

I think we're in agreement here.

I think we're in agreement here.

glad we are then! to be fair your post could've been interpreted both ways

 

[Redux91]

Certainly the youngest ive ever seen, and almost the worst ive ever seen lol

Wait, you mean having players get called up from AHL and play a few games is normal?

 

[habsgirl5000]

youngest.....smallest.....and least talented

 

[Habs 4 Life]

This. Pretty much a mix of both not sure to be happy or sad about it lol

lol only if they get rid of max, and somehow fix the weber/price problem/non problem

after that, i love what i see, yeah they stink right now, but theyre all so young, theyre getting the time in now and experience, I imagine MOST of these "kids" having much better seasons next year, we just needed to get rid of a little excess baggage, and...gulp...need a small infusion of new "baggage", tho hopefully in the form of 1 or 2 serviceable vets lol..

With this management group I have no confidence they can get this done
When you talks about vets, the first guy I thought about was Bergevin and his stupid friends going after a Brian Gionta!!!!!

team is good on the wing with chucky, gally, drouin,etc..and price and weber.
mete holds promise too

 

[MrNasty]

The team is actually too young at the moment if you want a good team and a team that will develop their prospects better. Some guys mentioned they want a team like Pittsburgh, Chicago, TB or Nash. Well if you want a team that is continuously good then you need to surround the young players with strong leaders such as Price and Weber. All old or all young gets you nowhere.

 

[Habs76]

Youngest? Not sure. Worst? Without a doubt.

 

[nhlfan9191]

Youngest? No. Slowest? Yes. Least talented or atleast up there? Yes. One of the worst teams we’ve ever iced. If not the worst.

If that's your core, you are f***ed!

 

[Skip Bayless]

shittiest

 

[admiralcadillac]

If that's your core, you are ****ed!

Not at all it's just missing a centre lol... Calm down robin

 

[mariolemieux66]

Not at all it's just missing a centre lol... Calm down robin

Who's that center that will carry the team to the cup within the next 3 years? Because after that Weber and Price are done. Who's your top pairing dmen after Weber?
Who's your #2 C?
Who's your top line fowards?

 

[ImNeverWrong]

Young yes. With extremely limited upsides due to years of horrible drafting and poor development. But yes be proud that we are young for the sake of being Young, I guess? I love when people just pencil prospects into their lineups when projecting future lineups...as if it's a 100% certainty that every first 2nd and 3rd round pick pan out to become nhlers. Lol

 

[LaP]

I'm just curious. I can't remember a team being younger than the team we have now. Especially the forward group. Can any of you remember a younger version? Anybody know how we stack up the the rest of the league?

Hum the team healthy is not really young. Would not be surprised if the team who won the cup in 93 was as young or even younger.

A lot of those kids wont be there at the beginning of next season.

 

[Kriss E]

Roster in 3 years...

Galchenyuk (27) / ???? / Drouin (25)
Scherbak (25) / Poehling (21) / Gallagher (28)
Lehkonen (25) / Danault (28) / Shaw (29)

Mete (22) / Weber (35)
???? / Petry (33)
???? / Juulsen (23)

Price (33)
Lindgren (27)

Is the objective to suck for 3 years and keep sucking beyond that?

 

[PaulD]

least talented abundance of youngsters maybe

the 86 Stanley Cup winning team had 8 (maybe 9) rookies on it.
