Survey in the athletic said the Habs had the best D in the North division. ARe the others that bad? Cause I dont think ours is that great.

One thing we have going for us is a big heavy D that's set up for the playoffs AND we dont have to worry about 3 on 3 hockey with all the figure skaters skating past our lumber jacks.


remember last year...Habs was out of playoffs,,covid bought then in by luck..and that d core was great in playoffs when it counted...

Hopefully we see the same in the playoffs in 2021...

No team is putting in a waiver claim for a player on a multi year contract

It would have to be a trade after he clears.

But I haven't seen enough of him to say we should, for example, trade Byron and Mete for him. I just don't know the player this year well enough. Byron is pretty useless imo. But Byron costs 1.1M less against the cap over the next two years.

So a Byron for Ghost swap may just be bringing in another useless player who costs 1.1M more against the cap.

No, the D was good in the Pittsburg series; they had a lot of issues in the Philly series with a team that wasn't just built on pure offense and nothing else...when the D is pressured in its own zone, that's where we see the biggest issues; our D can't maintain possession of the puck or move it out of the zone without the forwards doing it themselves cuz every Dman not named Petry or Romanov treats the puck like a live grenade...

True about the speed. I could also see:

Staal Suzuki Anderson
Drouin KK Toffoli

But we'll see how things play out on the ice chemistry wise and what Ducharme wants to try out. He's certainly no where near as static as CJ.
That would be sick.....with Tuna-PD-Gally as your 3rd, potentially, this could be quite amazing.

Just need an upgrade at D and we are set for the playoffs

And this also inhibit the team offense. Lack of puck movement from Weber, Edmundson, Chiarot, Kulak and Ouellet creates so many problems for the team, in all three zones.

Theres no reasons for this forward core to struggle to maintain a GF over 2.8 since the Canucks games, it is very good.

We could use the D depth and he can move the puck. AV has them playing a disastrous system. Think he'd be better in ours

Byron would have to go out.

Byron for Ghost and split the $1,1m difference at 25%/75%, so Philadelphia would retain $825k.

Habs would have a cap hit of $3.675m for 2 years.

I’m sure a deal was already discussed by both teams and neither wants the other player.
