Chuck was once in a sample size of 60/60 at center. And some considered that to be not enough of a sample. Just saying.
This was before he got an injury in LA, correct? Seems largely irrelevant now.

So, business as usual?
It's basic common sense.
Definitely feels like Drouin is on the verge of busting through. And it speaks to his talent level that he's on pace for 70 points and is still only scratching the surface...
Sergachev has a better pedigree and has proven more than Mete has. I wouldn't dump Mete away but he's not looking like he's going to amount to much.Well, portions of this fanbase are ready to trade Mete++ for another young LHD that isn't a sure top pair guy (or even a 3D) and Mete is like 2 1/2 weeks older than Sergachev.
I think Weber returning will be huge. Drouin is doing what he's doing 5on5, if we can get the PP back to top 10 level the points will be pouring in for Drouin.I said it all along, we won't see the true potential from Drouin until we surround him with better talent. Domi for example is one prime example. We need a few more offensive players though.

What cherry picking? Those trashing a non-Habs player are the ones who are making bad arguments.Good job carrying this cherry picked complaint from a large post for several post now. The original point has been overlooked. Can you remember it now?

Drouin's true potential will only be revealed when the moon is full, the clock strikes midnight, and he plays shotgun next to McDavid and Crosby and they can't score and can only pass to him and also the other team is my sister's atom C team from Lac St Louis. Only then will we see The True Drouin.

Those who say that Sergachev has yet to match Drouin's output are flat out wrong. He's already outproduced Drouin relative to their positions.
The D has been better the last couple of games, say what you want about Alzner, but him taking Ouellettes minutes have changed things dramatically.I hope you are right. But I'm not counting on Weber to solve all of our problems cause I think the creates a trap of expectations and extra pressure. This don't usually end up well. My main focus at the moment is how our D looks like when Weber, Petry, Juulsen are all in the line-up. I really do want to see the Habs to try two things....
1) Move Petry to the left side and pair him with Juulsen when he is healthy
2) Explore the market for a young potential LD guy who has similar potential like Juulsen did. Bean fits IMO. I would use parts like Mete, Scherbak, and one of our 2nd's. I would also consider using Poehling if the piece or pieces coming back the other way was a similar talent at LD.
The D needs to improve. Or I guess we have another tank year. Our 5/5 play is entertaining to watch so we can enjoy that while hopefully we rest Price as much as we can and his patience is not tested too much.

1) When Drouin produces like Gaudreau, lemme know1) Drouin don't deserve your hate. He is talented and yes, he plays a soft game like Gaudreau does.
2) It is cherry picking cause it was one line cherry picked from a larger post. You forgot about that cause you have tunnel vision. I will recall your memory, it was a year to year evaluation and what each player needs to do to outperform the other. You picked one year where I said Sergachev needs to get 40 pts to match Drouin's 53. I asked you for your formula to compare a top 6 forward to a D man who has offensive skills but struggles in his own end? You continued on with the belittle attempts.
3) The only thing Sergachev has done to outperform Drouin was to get off on a very strong start last season. He had a solid year in his 1st year on that deep team. But he has yet to crack the top 4D and Tampa don't trust him enough in his own end to give him more opportunity. Drouin is certainly out producing Sergachev this year. You can fight it all you want
His shot is awful and that partly why he's not getting PP time, but you raise a good point. Let's see how he develops.He is the 8th youngest D man to play a game in the NHL this season. He's undersized. His ES production is better than Girard, Sergachev, Mahura, Valimaki, etc. His underlying numbers are more than decent. He's been playing well.
Saying that "he's not looking like he's going to amount to much" is WAY too premature. Most guys his size take time to learn how to compensate in the NHL and that's an ongoing process.
Especially if he is the one feeding Weber on the PP. He'll also be shooting more you would think to counter teams cheating for Weber's shotI think Weber returning will be huge. Drouin is doing what he's doing 5on5, if we can get the PP back to top 10 level the points will be pouring in for Drouin.
Yeah to me if he doesn't improve his shot he's pretty useless at the point on the PP as it's no threat. If he is going to get PP time I think we'd have to roll 2 D. Something that I think we should look into when Weber comes back.His shot is awful and that partly why he's not getting PP time, but you raise a good point. Let's see how he develops.

We should certainly explore the LD trade market, just becomes a question of what we'd give up. Trading Poehlng would be kind of tough for me, but I can see the rationale- just gotta be sure the guy we are getting back is a stud.
Also Mete has quietly been playing alot better the last few games, and has even created some great offensive chances. I wouldn't give up and sell low on him yet. He's the last guy we should trade right now.

Petry to me is the most tradeable asset. I also think we should be able to find our LD in this draft.I'm not as much as a Alzner hater than others. I understand his game. I just don't like his vision and ability to move the puck. He is decent in terms of shutdown ability when he is playing his position and not clutching and grabbing.
I'm high on Poehling as well. But I'm open to trading him at this stage if the return on LD was worth it.
I'm not high on Mete. He is a target for other teams to focus on in our own end. The kid needs to get a lot more stronger and to maintain a very high level of play in terms of puck moving. I think he is a decent piece but not a piece I would be using in my Stanley cup potential roster.

No offense but, the bold part is so obvious that they're no need for him to answer the question, i dont think there is one poster here who takes his comment regarding JD seriously
