Alzner is a bottom pairing D in Laval. Olofsson might pan out but doubtful for the time being. No LD in Laval
Leskinen is a possibility, assuming he continues to develop, no?

Not enough upper tier players on this roster.
Haven’t developed enough home grown talent.
Gauthier era?
Might as well not play back to backs then.
It comes down to the lack of great pieces.
I don't agree. Lekhonen is a better forecheker than Armia, Armia is a better puck retriever in board battles, but he doesn't have the speed to forecheck like a demon like Lekhonen does. Armias strength is taking the puck in and keeping it there, Lekhonens strength is getting the puck and not knowing what to do with it afterArmia is one of the best forecheckers in the league. He actually retrieves pucks constantly. Lehkonen is pretty good at falling on his ass and taking stupid penalties. No puck skills, no defensive stick skill. Just blind havoc in good and bad.
Flyers have played 6 gamesLots of time for the team to stew about this one considering our next game isnt until f***ing thursday the league needs to fire their scheduler
Minni can say the same.We have too many players who can’t finish.
We desperately need a Laine type and a Josi type.

I see them differently./ an aspect of forechecking.
The Habs get to play against more back ups than most teams do. Season in season out.The third goal was nothing to do with bad d. It was bad goaltending. Hence why I hate the superstar price and **** backup model. It’s stupid.
Sign Markov you over-roided man child. He can't be worse than Chiarot and he'd at least get his 1000 game, but noooo you have to have the last word you insecure crybaby.
said every cellar dweller .....ever.No but we do have some good pieces, just not enough of them.
He has almost got to his goal............assembling a D corps he could come back and play on.Bergevin achieving his dream of making a Dcorps full of Bergevins.
Not to mention the rest of the league is not waiting for the Canadiens to catch up........The whole league have great kids progressing.....but better vets and stars for them to play withI like the top 9 we're building. It may be available in April, but may take until the 2021-2022 season to come to fruition:
Poehling Domi Caufield
Drouin Kotkaniemi Suzuki
Tatat Danault Gallagher
May it may. It have elite players, but has depth of talent.
The thing is, by then Weber will be 36 and Petry 34. It's the dcore (future dcore) we really need to have an eye on. Romanov, Brook, Mete, Juulsen, Struble, Fleury, Harris, Norlinder, Fairbrother looks less talented than the forward corps.
We have decisions to make about whether to keep Weber and Petry or tey to trade them for a suzuki like d chop, as we did with Pacioretty.
You dont say.Exactly. When you look at the Pens lineup right now with Malkin injured outside of Crosby it's not very good. But they have Crosby. Here's some named on the lineup of the Pens last game.
D Simon
B Tanev
D Kahun
J Blandsini
S Lafferty
Z Anton-Reese
A Johnson
T Blueger
J Marino
M Petterson
J Riikola
Y Jarry
Yup all players who were on Pens roster for the last game. Yet they are 6-3 and they'll make the playoffs again (a real 6-3 not a 6-3-3 we got looser points we are not at 500). Like i said they got Crosby.
Of course.He should have been traded when he was a pending UFA..
Once again, our pro scouts are a day late and a dollar short.

I hear ya.It is true there is no guarantee that will be a deep group of forwards in 2021-2022. Maybe all teams will be going towards more skill and have just as much talent.
Hopefully Poehling is ready some time this year - and Caufield at the end of the year.
I'm tired of waiting for something to happen with him. He appears to have peaked at a dime-a-dozen depth player.
We are still two forwards shy of a real top 6. Seems like forever. Someone HAS to graduate into the role because I doubt we are trading for it.
