His coach has to agree because right now it's Schlemko or Benn with him.

Still a long way from now.

Should he look for a partner for Weber now or give Reilly and Mete a shot?

- Fredo


This is on Julien, is it not?

He could try and see how it goes, but for how long?

Sure, if there was a top prospect this season on defense (left side) in the next draft, all this would be another story.

I'm willing to be patient but this is not a new problem now. And I don't see the solution short term.

There is no short term solution and trying to force it will only delay it

And there is pretty good LD available in the next draft

Well he was on board with player developpement for the first 10 games, it paid off. Then it created expectations and when a few losses came he wen't back to his old reflects of playing the vets, shuffling the lines and playing roulette with players in the pressbox.

As opposed to being up to Fredo?

Yup

The early season success was almost a curse, the expectations skyrocketed way too much

And they lost track of why they had the success in the first place.

Because they had a soft schedule against some pretty bad teams?



They're doing better than anyone expected and for once they're actually an entertaining team to watch.


I'm gonna sit back on the couch with pete and just enjoy the ride.



I will also put a row of cushions o the conch between pete and myself for personal protection.

I said they're not in the top 10.... Broberg, Byram, York and Vlasic are all LD slotted from 11th to 20th in most mock drafts... Habs will grab one of them, no doubt

Well, Domi and Tatar are a huge part of that.

The defense was better as well, was it not?

Karl Alzner n’est pas de l’entraînement aujourd’hui alors qu’il y a un surplus de joueurs. On saura à midi s’il est placé au ballottage @CanadiensMTL @TVASports
