If Reilly can replace Benn/Alzner/Sclemko on the bottom pair, that will be a good thing:
____ Weber
Mete Petry
Reilly Juulsen
Cool. The core still sucks and Weber is declining.

If we get Dahlin or another one of the stud d to play on the left top pairing that d core looks great
Luck into Dahlin and it looks pretty fantastic actually.Cool. The core still sucks and Weber is declining.

Doesn't make it right to not have a number 2 though. It's okay to play your number 2 on the 2nd pairing but you got to have a number 2. We don't have a number 2 right now. We have a number 1 in weber, a number 3 or 4 in Petry and a bunch of 5/6.
There's no trouble with
#4 - #1
#2 - #3
There's a big problem with
#4 - #1
#5 - #3
Does Weber suck?
Does Petry suck?
Does Juulsen suck?
Does Mete suck?
Cause that's our core.
Then you have Alzner who has looked like a servicable bottom pairing dman with Juulsen (a number 4 already). And, the book is still open on Reilly.
Declining on a 2 degree slope.....Cool. The core still sucks and Weber is declining.
They’re not world beaters but it’s an okay top 6.....the emergence of Reilly and Juulsen makes this top 6 a lot more mobile and mirror more of today’s nhl D corps.Does Weber suck?
Does Petry suck?
Does Juulsen suck?
Does Mete suck?

I really doubt Weber will even return to 2015 form with the surgery he just had.
I agree but I'm a huge weber hater
Ideally, you’d want:
#3 - #1
#4 - #2
But we don’t have a #3 or #2 depending how you classify Petry.
Juulsen is a #4. Can Mete be a #4 next year? He's a #5 now. Reilly and Alzner are #5's. Can Reilly become a #4?
So imo we have
#4/5 #1
#4/5 #2/3
#5 #4
i.e.
Mete Weber
Rielly Petry
Alzner Juulsen
Mate and Juulsen are already part of the core ?? really ?? one of the guy recently recalled because of injuries is already part of the Habs core ??Does Weber suck?

I think more realistically it’ll be
Reilly Weber
Mete Petry
Alzner Juulsen
Schlemko or Benn
Reilly a little older and can produce more offence than Mete has shown. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mete plays in Laval next year and Schlemko or Benn slot in the top 6 instead.

damn!
one post they're part of the core, next post "we'll see"...Imo Juulsen has so far been a stabilizing force on the backend, despite his youth. He's very mature as far as how he reads the play. He's starting to make mistakes, though. So we'll see what he is at this stage of his career by the end of the season, will more games under his belt.
As for Mete, yes he's got his flaws. He's more of a positive moving forward.
It's a young man's game now. It's not necessarily bad to have two young guys as your 3rd and 4th best dmen. Let's see what Mete can do next year when he comes to camp 1 year older, 1 year more physically developed and with a year of experience in the NHL under his belt. One things for sure: he's never shy when he gets the puck.

so are they part of the core or not ? ? ?
not sure about Mete, not ready for Reilly, forgot Juulsen...They're definitely part of the young core we'll build around. I'm not ready to put Reilly in that category. I'm not sure if Mete is top 4 out of training camp next year. If I had to guess, I would say yes. I am comfortable with Mete in the top 4 all year next year.
Every time I look at your avatar I think of Don Knottshave to wait and see with Reilly obviously.
Put Dahlin next to Weber and that's likely one of the best top pairings in the league.
Will see how much he declines. I doubt it would be that much. He's too smart where I really doubt his physical deterioration, real or not, will effect his game to the extent some would think.
