nice opportunity for Romanov though. hope he'll step up.

Did he switch to goalie?

Agreed. Not a fan.

give Savard some time. remember it took a few weeks/months before Chiarot felt comfortable when he first joined the team. I'm not too worried about the vets.

they're really, really missing another mobile guy for a top-4 role.

it's not either player. it's the pairing in a top-4. if that was your third pairing? fabulous.

oh I agree a PMD would be nice, but it is what it is. Chiarot is on his last contract year, maybe next season.

Gotta hope some of those prospects on defense ends up paying off in the next few years or the team will need to go chasing ufas/trades again to patch things up.

how about Ryan Johansen 50% retained?

How's the Montreal cocaine market ?

Savard says he's got difficulty adjusting to the system. He'll get there. People saying he's the next Karl Alzner are jumping the gun way too soon....

I'm sure he has his sources.

Yes rolling 2 pairs and play the other one 5 minutes a night.

Then saying stuff like "I don't get it, our D looked faster at the beginning of the season..."

Can't turn over the puck if you never reach it before the other team.

Definetely too soon.

But there's also a chance it might be true.

Thought he looked good during the playoffs...can't believe that's the case. Alzner looked like poop even before they signed him.

True.

Although it's a fact Savard is also slowing down as a player. So while I'm very positive about him being here, I hope he doesn't lose another step in the next 2 years.

It worked with Sergachev, but Sergachev is pretty mobile and.... well good.

I feel like making him play with Romanov so he can be the steady, calming influence next to him would be the best way to use him.

Vets don't give a poop about pre-season, especially Ds. You think Savard wants to go in first in the corner with a carreer AHLer trying to make a name for himself taking a run at him or block shots?

A lot teams are going to be upset that the tampa guys they acquired are no longer playing like when they were in tampa

Yeah, there's also that factor...

I think Yanni Gourde can still be good. Goodrow and Coleman's contracts are a joke...

Could be, short summer, I bet alot of the guys didn't work out much and just took the time to recuperate.
