I don't recall seeing anyone calling hin a bust. but you'll have to agree that for a 3rd overall... he is disappointing, so far. can the Habs wait so he takes a few steps? sure! but not at 6M per. not with the attitude he showed and the season he had.
- fidopro

did I miss anything concerning something he said or did to lead people to believe he has a poor attitude and work ethic?

Il a pas un tres bon coup de patin, il bat jamais de joueur a un contre un, il est pas tres bon passeur et sa shot il envoie un télégramme avant de relacher et 90% ca ce ramasse dans la baie vitrée.

Les seuls fois ou il a du succès c'est quand il est dans l'enclave pour pousser des retours dans le net. Je vois pas comment il va transformer son 30 points en 70 points ave ses outils là
- Fredobbface

Sa shot doit définitivement sortir plus vite, c'est considérablement trop slow.

Mais des joueurs comme JVR on fait des saisons de 70 points en scorant la majorité de leurs buts sur des rebonds, c'est pas tant un problème.

Si il devient plus fort sur ses patins et jouent comme Gallagher peut-être. Mais d'après-moi il voit pas son jeu comme ça sinon il aurait pas été dans les estrades.

he should have spent the entire 2021 season in the AHL. he had a few good games in the bubble and everyone thought he had turned a corner.
- DoubleDown

yup, but sadly there was a sense of urgency at center, kind of like right now...

The montreal smear machine never sleeps
- mr.peanut

it's definitely a relentless mean machine.

I'll probably get some stuff thrown at me for this, but despite the "experience" brought to young players, I still believe the Habs would have had more benefits coming from losing to Pittsburgh in the bubble.

- Pat1993

I didn't like his 4 fingers after scoring a goal. and when your coach says after the exit interview kk will have to take BIG steps.... yeah. something is wrong. in comparison, DD didn't talk like that about Evans or other kids.

no kidding

Dvorak is 25yrs old, not like he is 30+yrs old.
- Symba007

Dvorak? Kk?

Does not move the needle or make this team any good, let alone a playoff team.

If you are gonna do something impactful, then do it.

Otherwise, just another year of throwing away picks and trading prospect to fill gaps in the line up and 5 years from now, in the same place.

KK est un des meilleurs du club pour créer des revirement chez l'adversaire en zone adverse ce qui crée des opportunités pour ses coéquipiers, il a un excellent lancer (qu'il doit release plus vite on s'entend), une bonne portée, capable de jouer physique, c'était notre 2e meilleur sur les faceoffs après Danault....

Faque oui, ya un manque de constance, mais c'tun manque de constance qui s'explique en partie par le fait de se faire barouetter d'un bord à l'autre du lineup selon moi.

À son meilleur, c'est vraiment un joueur qui peut faire la différence.


Abandonner quand il vient d'avoir 21 ans, ça me semble cave pas possible.

There's no knock on KK from me, it's the contract..

Agree.

But the knock on matching is the poor return.

im not convinced this actually happened. i think it's far more likely that we are in the matrix and this was a glitch that has now sorted itself out.

Agree.

- Mashadar

what poor return?!? do you expect kk to get a better package (a 1st and 3rd) on the trade market?

I didn't like his 4 fingers after scoring a goal. and when your coach says after the exit interview kk will have to take BIG steps.... yeah. something is wrong. in comparison, DD didn't talk like that about Evans or other kids.
- fidopro

I think that's a bit of a stretch but ok...

and if DD mentioned he needed to take big steps, it might be an indication that he knows he has the potential to be much better, as opposed to younger guys with a lower ceiling.

no kidding
- fidopro

I think Suzuki is the real deal, and I don't think not having this playoffs bubble experience of 6 more games would have been that much of speed bump to his developpement.

EE confirming KK is gone and Dvorak is a target

Pretty sure Evans met the expectations the team had for him last year.

While expectations for KK are bigger.

And rightfully so.

- fidopro

I was saying that as well, but was told that these games were HUGE for KK and Suzuki's development.
