Bad goaltending in Laval is killing the team spirit badly. Habs need to find someone to stop pucks down there asap.

Glad it wasn't Hudon - although to be honest, his lack of speed is killing him. He better become a workout and fitness freak if he wants to stay in the league. He needs to have really strong leagues and a high cardio endurance level.
He really should be producing more than he has. You can see the skills. Plus he’s not afraid to play physical. That game where he set a franchise record for hits was ridiculous! He’s getting passed by now though. Wait till our junior guys start coming in too.

Hudon was a good fit on LAST season's weak Habs team... This season, not so much.

Well out of 4 players they put on waivers, 2 were claimed. They lost 2 players they drafted for nothing which is poor asset management to me.

I had a feeling that Ouellet would have been claimed because of his cheap cap hit however he is of no use to any NHL team at this point. He was bought out by Detroit in the summer so it says a lot. Alzner is making too much, so obviously all the teams passed on him.

However, teams know that Ouellet is not a NHL defenseman. Hopefully this is the last time we see him with the Habs.

It's time to move forward, unload Benn and Schlemko.

The signings of UFA Peca and Plekanec burned the bridges for DLR and Scherbak. Too bad !

Those signings in and of themselves were fine. It was Julien's usage that burned the bridges. Those two should have been sent to Laval before putting DLR or Scherbak on waivers.
