Stephane Leroux @StephRDSJunior
Pour le #Rocket ce soir on aura les débuts de Jan Mysak, Arsen Khisamutdinov, Michal Frolik et le retour de Ryan Poehling #AHL

They have so many players on that roster it's ridiculous

Ok fine this one gets a nickname

Or just sign Ovechkin in the off season

Not that I know of

Stéphane Leroux just told me he's on the Habs taxi squad.

It's very likely yes.

Then again, if he had another great season, like 47 points in 56 games.

How could you not consider bringing him back?

It started off well before the whole team going into a slump.
- Scabeh

he'd be way too expensive on a short deal. and on a long deal you're just gonna be paying him big money through his declining years. as much as i would rather see them hang on to him i just don't see the fit.

Ovechkin Suzuki Anderson

That would be an alright 1st line!

Callisse de menteur Stephane!

Armia will probably fetch 3.5 - 4 million on the open market, Habs can't pay him that
- obie

I don't see mid-tier guys getting that much over the next 2-3-4 years, given flat cap and revenues.

Look at Toffoli... his $4.5 million likely would have been $6 million without covid, flat cap and revenue squeeze.

Big name players and high end rookies coming of ELCs will get money, everyone else will not get the money they expect.

he called you?

Armia makes 2.6M/yr,(cap hit) He can expect similar money IMO this summer 2.5M-3M range

Dinov

There was an article about it a few months back.

It's very hard because you don't want to burn bridges with your loved ones and leave them to these crazy theories.

On the other hand, it becomes pretty much impossible to be with them without turning a conversation into a poop show.

Honestly, the only thing you can do is focus on the love and the trust in the relationship, trying to make the other person focus on preserving that above all else.

It's no easy task.

Kinda reminds me of how we had to handle my drug addicted cousin actually...
- Scabeh

i think dealing with a drug addict is a bit easier to compartmentalize. an addiction is an illness. we know and understand that part of it. so even if dealing with the person is too much you understand what is happening.

the poop that the Illinois guy is dealing with is next level. this is full-on (frank)ing batpoop "will swallow rat poison for my cause" brainwashed cult stuff. it is so beyond (frank)ed up.

Could fix the powerplay

i like the new approach they've taken to fixing the power play: not generating any

Tatar and Byron back on their regular line at practice

Jordan Weal is waiting to fix everything.

They are back to dumping it in the zone and chasing it now at least at the start of the season they made some effort to skate skate it in. When they do manage to keep it in it's a couple of pass at the point and the guy on half-board whitout attempting a shot other than at the defense's pads or they usually lose with a bad pass at the point when there's a little pressure.

their shot selection is abhorrent. but at the same time, absolutely no one is ever in a good, open shooting position. they never force the defence out of their positions and so there's never an opportunity for a cross ice pass. it's just perimeter passing until someone closes their eyes and says (frank) it and blasts it into a defenceman's chest.

♫All we are saying, is give Weal a chance.♫
