Bah 40 points.. is this all we have to be excited about? Just another nothing player.. boy this roster is depressing..
The habs have a lot of middling talent on forward.
Despite what people say about Shaw, even he can produce in a complimentary role. Guys like Lehkonen, Hudon, Armia etc... can do the same. Danault can be added to that list even if he plays higher up the line-up.
The biggest issue the habs will have is how to give these guys opportunities to break out and/or trade them for upgrades.
I have said for a year now we have too many wingers.
Pacioretty(Still here for now)
Gallagher
Drouin(He's a winger, IDGAF what management says)
Domi
Lehkonen
Hudon
Byron
Shaw
Armia
Scherbak
Even if we'd go as far as removing Max and Drouin from the list we still have a lot of guys who can play wing well. The problem of course is that it forces guys who need more opportunities in support roles. That's good for a contending team but for a team looking to develop talent having some guys like Hudon and others playing bottom 6(if not 4th line) roles is a little counterproductive.
If habs falter I can only hope Max and Byron are traded while they have value.
