Byron should have never been extended, as several posters here argued at the time.

Can we pull the plug on this guy yet? Would it kill the Habs to try Vejdemo or Belzile instead?
Hudon is who he is. Let's give someone else a shot.

In due time they will. Hudon did have a good game against the Sens though. Not a huge fan of Hudon but he's a decent depth player. Vejdemo at the age of 23 deserves a shot, I agree. I'd be OK with Belzile as well... he plays with intensity

Belzile has really cooled off though with points in just 2 of the last 9 games after starting the year with 9 pts in 10 games. Hudon was just heating up so they went with the better player.
Vejdemo I would leave alone for now, he's never put together consistent offense, and now he's got 8 pts in the last 7 games, so i would like to see if he can keep this up or not.

I think Hudon is Chantal Machabée's illegitimate son. She sure fawns over him.

It’s early fair enough. But at what point does Timmins become accountable? When the f*** is he going to find a gem?

depends on your definition of gem. What does Fleury, Mete, Juulsen, Brook, Harris, Norlinder, etc.. turn into. Primeau is one of the best goalie prospects in the world. Gallagher was a steal, Galchenyuk is the 2nd highest scoring player from the '12 draft and turned into Domi, if Drouin were able to play all season like he started this year then you got a 60+ winger that you don't get without a very good pick in Sergachev. Caufield is ripping up the NCAA.
Maybe things would look a little better if the GM would stop rushing all our top prospects to the NHL. Timmins has made many mistakes, as does every scout, and I while there's still a number of picks I have shaked my head at, I can acknowledge that the drafting has been much better and it should be because the GM stopped trading away such valuable picks. We had the same problem before MB as well. I just don't expect much when you have 1 pick in the top 87 or whatever. That's a terrible way to run a team imo.
Everyone is to blame and shares it to some degree, some think it's more on Timmins, others think it's more on development, rushing kids to the NHL that aren't ready. In the end it matters little as management and coaching continue to do the same thing over and over. We'll see if Timmins gets fired or leaves what happens to the drafting.

Hudon was sent down to Laval again. Will surely get called up again tomorrow or Monday at the latest.
The Habs really believe in Hudon. You just need to cut your losses sometimes and give someone else a chance. They should have released him last summer. His value is really low even for a draft pick.

That's sad that Laval can't produce a player that can competently play forward. If Hudon is it,wow.
Thought maybe Peca can contribute more,but who knows.

Peca is as useless as Hudon, even less. Two AHL level players at best. I would had given a chance to Vejdemo.

Hudon sent to Laval. Last night was the last game he could play before he had to clear waivers again. This doesn't mean he won't get called back up again. But my guess is this time, he will most likely stay down for a little longer. I could be wrong.

How much evidence is required that this guy can't help Montreal? Please lets give someone else a shot and see if they can contribute.
At least Peca buzzes around the ice, brings lots of energy and can tire out the opponent. He can put up zeros but at least do something else there. Hudon brings nothing to table. How many times do they need to call him up and have him not deliver before they call someone else up instead?

Not a surprise. Montreal doesn't want to expose him to waivers. No idea why. He's cleared once. I expect he gets recalled Sunday after 5pm. Montreal has 3 days off now.

Former "Domi a favor"
I can't believe how snake bitten he's been. He's working hard, he's making things happen offensively, he's hitting a post every 2 games... I feel bad for him, he deserves better. I just wished he could score one to remove that giant piano off his shoulders.

Agreed. He doesn't bring much when he is not scoring.
I don't think he's much better to be honest. I would expect him to be an effective forechecker with his speed, but I don't see that. He's also not a particularly good defensive player.
I don't know if there's someone in Laval who can help at the moment. Perhaps Vejdemo should be given a chance.
