Player Discussion Charles Hudon

Hudon keeps scoring goals from that right circle on the PP in the AHL, it's so weird that this ability never translated to the NHL... Was he even tried in that spot with the Habs?

For as long as I can remember his shot was talked about as his best asset but it never translated to the NHL level

I don'T get it. Why call back Hudon when he is extremely helpful for the AHL playoff push ? Not like this season means anything anymore.. like wtf I don't get it, is making the playoff for Laval that important ?

 

[ClasslessGuy]

He's probably trilled to play with weise and weal

 

[Deebs]

Somebody get hurt?

It's not for MB, apparently.

 

[DAChampion]

An inferior development environment for Kotkaniemi, but at least the Habs got some 6th round draft picks.

he’s probably there just for today but I agree that we should have keep a little more depth in case they are injuries for Laval

He has played well and IMO it serves way better to reward players who actually do really well in AHL with time in NHL vs what MTL historically does under MB.

Give him a game or two and send him down.

 

[Simarino]

Can this organisation, for once, put a player in a position to succeed, play Hudon on the right circle on the PP where he scored most of his goals this year FFS!!!!!!!

We all know he's going to play 8 minutes max.

What's the point.

IMO it gives message to the players in AHL, you play well you get called up eventually. When they were calling up Poehling for no reason, it gave message your play doesn't mean anything.

This.

1st unit. Receiving passes from Suzuki, who's in the RHS.

 

[26Mats]

Somebody get hurt?

Drouin going to shut it down for a bit?

 

[WatchfulElm]

At this point, I believe he'll be a bigger offensive threat than Drouin...

 

[Frenchy]

I was expecting Hudon to be traded Monday , at least to give him a chance to make a name for himself in another org . Anyway , good for him if he gets a chance with the Habs .

Apparently it's too hard for the coaching staff to pencil a goal scorer with a good one-timer on that spot, it's much easier to have Weal and or Cousins on the PP even if they shoot muffins, they have good character and all those locker room intangibles that are so precious.

And yet everyone bitches that he’s too slow for the nhl. I’ve been saying for a while that they need to try this guy in the right spot. Can’t be worse than Drouin who’s doing absolutely nothing.
If not for the call ups, he’d be leading the ahl in goals.

 

[cactusjack]

Somebody get hurt?

Drouin out with ankle injury

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Upgrade on Drouin.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

I've always been a Hudon believer. Really hope he's able to figure it out in the NHL.

I'm going to reserve judgement on Drouin until next seadon when hopefully he's fully recovered. I hooe Hudon is here because they're shutting Drouin down.

Playing with Suzuki should be good for him.

Despite his lack of NHL production recently, he needs most to improve his number of turnovers and coversge in the D zone.
