Montreal Canadiens 5 years from now

[Colezuki]

We all know what the team will likely look like at the start of the season, but who do you think of the young players and some of the veterans will still be around in five years after the contracts of cam, gomez and gionta are all done.

I think that our line up could look like this excluding fourth line because that changes too much even for me

Patches - Leblanc/ Maxwell - A.Kos/ D' Ago/ Avtsin
Kristo - Leblanc/ Maxwell - S.Kos/ D'Ago/ Avtsin
Lats - Laps - Qualier

Markov 1st pairing
Weber Subban O'Byrne 2nd pairing
Bennett Fischer Carle 3rd pairing

Price
Desjardins

Who do you think will still be around in five years?

Btw the defense its just where they should be not where they will be hahaha

I don't know the lineups... but all I know is that in 5 years we will have another 5 cups

 

[Traitor8]

there's no point to this thred because we saw what happend this past summer..

we changed the whole face of the team and there are very few players who are back.

 

[RoyBoyCoy]

If all goes nicely (Also, Cammy will have one year left but since you said so, I'll take him out)
Also, players bust, and we obviously sign FAs but w/e

Max Pacioretty-Louis Leblanc-Andrei Kostitsyn
Guillaume Latendresse-Ben Maxwell-Danny Kristo
Sergei Kostitsyn-Joonas Nattinen/Mikael Johansson-Aleksandr Avtsin
Max Lapierre with two of Stewart, Conboy, Qualier, Engqvist and Moen

I hope we can get Keith or Vlasic in there some how

Doesn't matter, our fan base will still be dumb and always expect more than a player/team can do, then hate that player, then want him gone.

OMG Leblanc sucks, only 18 goals this season while he had 25 last year.

Trade him for a 3rd rounder! Sens fans think he's worth that anyways, these guys are awesome.

Package him with Andrei Kostitsyn (OMG only 30 goals? after his 45 goal season? he's not worth the 5m we pay him ). He's russian so no heart anyways.

Carey Price is a bust too, getting swept in the 1st round after we won the Stanley Cup. One year wonder clearly.

2014 : Worst year in Canadiens history. We should have kept Gomez, now HE was such an awesome captain! I MISS YOU SCOTT

I fail to see how stoll would compare to maxwell ... like...in anything. As for chipchura ... as long as he looks as if he carrying latendresse on his shoulders while skating... there is only little hope.

I sure see avtsin, kristo , patches and subban on the team ...

Ew no, he had no leadership and he doesn't speak french

 

[Habruti!]

Hater

He's so much better than that softy Leblanc! I mean how long do we have to wait before he "breaks out"? He's 23 already and only has 50 goals! The assists were mostly second assists. Remember when Lucic cross checked Conboy? Were was he to defend him?

I expect a lot more from my budding first line star two way center

 

[Playmaker09]

Anyone elso notice that were missing a #2 D to play beside Markov or Subban?

Hopefully we get this:

Markov - 2010 1st round pick
Fisher - Subban
Gorges - O'Byrne
Carle

IMO there is no point in having all three of Markov, Weber and Subban on the same team so one will be traded and i believe it will be Weber.

Forwards:

Pacioretty - Leblanc - A. Kost
Cammalleri - Maxwell - S. Kost
Avstin - Nattinen - Kristo
Latendresse - Lapierre - Stewart

Well we miss a top LD prospect (used to be McDonagh) to replace Hamrlik when he's gone. Someone here suggested Jack Johnson, we might sign him as a UFA or trade for him eventually. He was a big Habs fan and I doubt he wants to stay in LA.

 

[Analyzer*]

Off topic, but I'm willing to bet Gomez gives an interview in Spanish as a joke.

 

[Lizard King*]

2014-2015 Habs

Forwards

Pacioretty - Leblanc - Cammalleri
A.Kostitsyn - Plekanec - Kristo
Latendresse - Lapierre - Avtsin
Trunev - Chipchura - Masse

spares : maxwell,stewart

Defence

Markov - Weber
Subban - Fisher
Gorges - O'byrne (or 2010/2011/2012 first round draft pick as long as its a d-man)

spares : Carle

Goalies

Price
Halak

I gotta admit it looks like a good roster

 

[MarkovtoSubban]

With the legendary Montreal draft of 2009 coming to the fore the team can refresh and start over in 5 years with an extraordinary crop of rookies cultivated under the mastermind of Guy Boucher. After three Calder Cups in five years, Boucher brings his proteges to the big leagues in the youngest, cheapest most exciting NHL team ever seen.

Pacioretty -Nattinen-Avtsyn
Trunev-LeBlanc-Kristo
Latendresse-Lapierre(c)-Dumont
Conboy-Chipchura (a)-White

Bennett-Fischer
Markov-Webber
Gorges (a)-Subban
