not sure about Mete, not ready for Reilly, forgot Juulsen...
that's not really a core...
core remains Weber, Petry, Alzner for now.
I have our top 3 dmen as Weber, Petry, Juulsen.

Mate and Juulsen are already part of the core ?? really ?? one of the guy recently recalled because of injuries is already part of the Habs core ??
damn!
It's not that I think Reilly isn't better than a 5th round pick- it's that I don't understand why you pay for a guy like Reilly just to clog up your system even more and block guys like Lernout from coming up. He's easily replacable in UFA anyways, so why give up an asset unnecessarily?
Well we all know Beaulieu is and was garbage, so that doesn't take a whole lotReilly is.already better than i think lernout will ever be.
I think reilly is a third pair.guy who can help.bring offence. Hes.a puck mover and we don't have enough.of those.
Hes basically playing the same role Beaulieu played.
I kinda like him... and so far i love the deal

Yeah he does, he atleast has some sort of brain unlike Beaulieu, but we hardly have any room on the backend as is. So I'm fine with this deal as long as a few plugs are shipped out.imo Reilly has the potential to tighten up his game. It remains to be seen whether or not he'll be able to. It still seems sometimes as if he's making it up as he goes along, as opposed to being someone who plays like he's made the same play a million times. Juulsen is more like that.

Reilly and Lernout are totally different kinds of players. The main thing they have in common is that they both don't seem fully comfortable yet. Hopefully they can get comforable. They're both a little jittery with the puck.
Lernout seems to be a positional player who can body players off the puck. The key with him will be his foot speed and his first pass. Body a guy off the puck and move it forward to the dmen. He has shown signs that he might be a good skater and good at making that first pass. The book is still open. He will never be a slick stick handler.
Reilly is a slick stickhandler with good mobility. But he sometimes bobbles the puck. Is this because he's not comfortable or because that's just his limitations? The book is still out.
I am now intreagued by both these guys. They both need to play a lot. Reilly has more than bottom pairing ceiling imo, Lernout only has bottom pairing potential. But as a big guy, if he can skate fast, play good positional hockey, and make a good first pass, that's a very useful bottom pairing dman.
One is a lefty and one is a righty too.
You are higher on lernout than i am. I think hes a pressbox guy/career ahler at best. I dont see him ever having a regular place.
Can someone give me his analysis of Mike Reilly during the last few games? I heard he was paired up with Petry on the first line. How does he do so far? This player is very intriguing and could possibly get a spot if Juulsen isn't ready to step up.
He’s alright defensively but he’s a great puck mover and is not a bad asset to have on a 2nd PP. He could develop into a 25-30 point 5th D that can thread the needle.Great skater, not a very good defender. He tries at least. Has mid pairing potential if everything clicks, I wouldn't get your hopes up though. Until then he's not very good but he fits a need.

I find him better than Alzner/Benn/Schlemko defensively, which is something I guess.
Dahlin-Weber
Reilly-Petry
Alzner-Juulsen
Mete
looks like a decent dman group to me.
Now lets pray!!
Mete as 7th D? He's definitely higher than Reilly IMO.Dahlin-Weber
Reilly-Petry
Alzner-Juulsen
Mete
looks like a decent dman group to me.
Now lets pray!!
Reilly as a bottom six or 7th d-man could be OK... I don't expect much more from him.
Hopefully, Benn and Schlemko gonna be traded for picks. We are stucked with Alzner... Wow I am even missing Emelin and Jerabek...... or Pateryn
Maybe Habs could sign them all as UFA next July !!!!!
Yeah, maybe they're simply worse than Bergevin thought they'd be. The pro scouting has not been its best. To be fair to Benn, I think he was always thought of as a depth defenseman and played that role well when we originally got him, but took a step back from how he had looked. As for Schlemko, he had shown good things in the past, and didn't show much of that with us this year, so that is the context in which I'm saying he's been disappointing.Not to nitpick, but I think Benn and Schlemko were simply overvalued by the management, both were 6-7th D before coming to Habs, and suddenly they should be able to play top 4 here, just doesn't click. (even if Bergevin thinks we haven't seen the 'real Schlemko' ) Really hope someone will bite on Benn, but doubt it with Schlemko, his 2.1M$ contract is just too big for his 700K$ depth play...
As for Alzner, really thought he'd be a perfect fit for Petry, not saying he won't be able to be next season, but we need puck moving Ds before a Josh Gorges clone...
Edit: Message was for @JohnLennon but since we still cannot delete our friggin messages, it gives something like that...
