Hintz played on their first lin3 and seguin was on the 2nd.
Pavelski is as old as Perry and Seguin was as useful as Drouin.

At 5 on 5 Hintz was 14/15 for EVS TOI.
Seguin was 1st for TOI, but yes was rather useless.
Agree with defense being a rotting poop log but regarding Dallas they also have Benn/Pavelski who both can/have been 1st line Cs. Hintz is also one of the most underrated young players in the NHL.

Snipers are a dying bread in the NHL
Bergevins talent scouting on Drouin is very relevant to the now
Bergevin stans telling people to deal with the now is good stuff tho

Pretty much. Maybe down the line both Suzuki and Kotkaniemi could be become consistent 20 and maybe even a few 30 goal seasons but right now, this team is mostly build with the goals coming from the wings and funny enough, defense. Gallagher, Toffoli, Anderson, Tatar all have multiple 20 and some 30 goal seasons. Add Petry and Weber on the backend and voila.
I am more worried and fed-up with Drouin having only potted 2 than the centers.

Centers need to score more, but we only have one dman that can pass the puck from the backend. Hard to score goals when you have to do everything yourself.

Sir, this is an Arber
I guess this means we’re near the top in scoring wingers? I really don’t understand these kinds of observations. I care about team performance not where the performance is coming from. Every team has flaws. What matters is that the individual components result in an efficient winning system. I agree though that the team is not performing at a high enough level to go far in the playoffs. And at the same time, this is the most diverse team we’ve had in a while in terms of youth, talent, and experience.
That is definitely true but it's a pretty low bar. Habs used to have problems with too many guys, dumping good D for nothing to make room, ditching Turgeon... Not too many guys to get excited about since then other than Koivu, too bad about his knee.

GM’s don’t scout on a grand scale, Pro Scouts scout the pros.
but let’s not kid ourselves, it was a bad trade....
looking at the now though, Edmundson and Anderson trades have been nothing short of great.

Thos team's offense dies in the O zone once it reaches the stick of a defenseman not named Petry.

Agreed! A little less soft types and a bit more guys that can skate and not be pushed around.
Yet Kotkaniemi and Suzuki are the best centers the Habs have had since they let Koivu go...
I'm tempted to say: lets dress Gustafsson. His offense will be better than any of the sorry bunch of D we have. I prefer winning 5-4 instead of losing 2-1.
Heck, I'd prefer losing 5-4 rather than 2-1. At least it'd be entertaining to watch.

Yes but they are also age 20 and 21. I wonder... How often have we seen 2 of 3 top 3 centers at age 20 and 21 on any team? This has to be rare
...and if you add in Evans too! And Dunno, where offense goes to die... you have your answer

It's because the overall depth is solid and they are spreading out responsibility while our young centers are maturing. Having one 20 or 21 year old center in your top 3 is a challenge and we have two of them!
