Player Discussion Christian Folin

[Habs Icing]

yeah he could be one of those guys that benefit playing on a better team. Decent tools. MB's had decent luck with these types of moves. We've literally lost nothing.

I was kind of getting worried. MB hasn't been bargain binning for awhile. Starting to wonder if something was wrong.

No one told MB his phone can be recharged.

I really don't enjoy Benn as he doesn't fit in with our team at all , perhaps Folin will be a better fit next to Kulak.

i personally think Benn has been great for us lately

 

[David Suzuki]

travis moen is back

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Meh, I would have went with 21 or 25, 32 is weird for a Dman ( outside of Streit, who made it work somehow) .

 

[Burke the Legend]

Is he the 7th now? I don't think the Habs were carrying a 7th for the past few weeks.

I expect to see him in Kulak's spot on the 3rd pair thursday, Kulak will be the extra guy on D for a while.

Hmm I thought Kulak has been playing okay.

He's alright in that role, I just think Folin might bring a bit more to the table. We'll see I guess, they could always stay with the current defense for the time being.

That would mean Benn is put back on the left side.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

That would mean Benn is put back on the left side.

Yup, that would be the logical move.

Need to implement Folin and see what he can do

 

[Agalloch]

Kulak is LD and Folin RD.

Mete-Weber
Kulak/Reilly-Petry
Benn-Folin as a 3rd duos ?

 

[MolleSon]

I prefer Kulak to Reilly. More reliable. None of the two are Top D4 though. Reilly can play as a top 4 certain games and then like a 7th D some others. Considering Benn and Folin arent top 4 either, we have 4 guys that are third pair at best and we still miss a top 3. I put Weber (1)-Petry (2) and Mete (4) as top 4. Nothing has really changed. What I like with Folin is it seems he can be physical. And thats a + over Kulak and Reilly.

 

[BLONG7]

Folin should get a couple of games, and you would think Kulak,Benn, and Reilly could all be casualties one at a time...........if he works out, it could put us out there with 3LD and 3RD each game....obviously Juulssen is done for the season.

We need a top 4 D and a fourth line C. One is easier to find than the other.

 

[Habs]

But he couldn't hang in Philly.. makes you wonder how good he really is. I'm cautious about getting players from bad bluelines.

Flyers was not going to re-sign him because they want to play Myers on the team.

 

[Tyson]

Play Kulak with Petry and Benn with Folin

Benn will not sit...he has been steady and really good as a #5 D

They had Alzner. they put him on waivers to make room for Folin. Alzner is back with Laval. No one touched him...unfortunately.

Right. + Sam Morin will be back soon from his serious injury.

 

[1909]

I think Folin can play both sides even if he is a RH d-man.

 

[A55P2]

I think he'll play just to see if he can hang in there, but they'll prefer Benn and Kulak for the playoffs. I don't think he'll fill Reilly's spot too because he's not really all that offensive.

Reilly has what? 9 points? Yeah he is tearing it up
