Yeah. I do think it's a good approach. It's just funny.

Not a price I would be willing to pay for Pacioretty, but I think it was fair. More than I expected MTL to get and they should be happy (about the trade at least).

Hmmm Tatar scored 20+ goals for 4 straight seasons with Wings...he will have less assists since no one on this team can score but 20 goals isn’t far fetched at all.

even with the departure of Galchenyuk and Pacioretty, I think Habs will score as many if more goals this upcoming season.

they will still suck and miss the playoffs, but I expect them to score a bit more goals. mainly because they added a few 'playmakers', something they were lacking. some kids will have to step up and score though.

Well, if Hudon can get an average shooting percentage and Lekohnen can play like the previous year / last 2 months of last year, then I think the Habs will have a shot at scoring a few more goals overall.

The main concern will be getting the puck out of the Habs zone and the transition from our D to the forwards... that will be the key more than anything.

They will be exciting to watch, hopefully. But a lot of offense is created by your dman and looking at the Habs rosted, i wonder how their transition game will look like...

Scherback, Armia, Lekhonen.... they need to score.
last year Drouin was pretty much their only playmaker.
I understand Domi is a very good passer, so is Tatar.

that will be the main reason why they will suck this year, the puck won't move quickly to the forwards....we will see tons of turn overs against this year....again.

very true, and that's the main reason why they will suck again this year.
a very poor dcore, especially with Weber missing half of the season.

Exactly the way i see it. I really wanted them to go after Theodore or Sanheim...

Lehkonen will need to learn to finish his plays.

meh... I'm not sold on Theodore. I thought he had a very difficult end of the season/playoffs. maybe he was injured I don't know, but he was terrible. maybe that's why he is not signed yet...

Yeah the 2nd year fluke did strike him pretty bad...he also looked more comfortable playing on the left wing though.
