Maybe.

Lane Hutson is joining the team next season, odds are we need to make room for him so he can become the next Adam Fox.

absolutely.
Guhle Wifi Hutson would be a nice leftside

It's too bad Guhle was stuck playing the right side last season because he was the only one good enough to make the switch.

Matheson has been great when healthy so I wouldn't count him out in staying for a few years.

I think Hutson is next year, not this up-coming year.

He may get a taste in the NHL at some point, but not full time.

oh yes, I was not talking for the upcoming season but for 2-3 years down the road

also, welcome to Laval Rem Pitlick!

Yeah, Eddy and then Savard will fall off, and then the decision to keep Mattheson happens, based on how the kids have progressed.

The Habs have a lot of defence, but no one on super long contracts, so there is a lot of flex there to not have to make big decisions right now, while allowing them to do so in a year or two without much consequences.

But the kids they decide to keep will need to get paid at some point.

also, welcome to Laval Rem Pitlick!

He's a fine guy to have in Laval and as a callup during the year.

Honestly, once we get rid of Hoffman, there won't be that many players I can't stand on this team.

Left side

Edmundson
Matheson
Ghule
Harris
Wifi

Prospects: Hutson, Engstrom, Struble, Trudeau, Norlinder

Right side

Savard
Barron
Kova
Wideman

Prospects: Mailloux

they really need to address the right side on D, both with the team and the prospects

Enter Reinbacher (if they pass on Michkov).

I say they draft a couple RHD in this draft but I would be surprised if it is Reinbacher.

I can't say I dislike Hoffman, I don't want him on my team foward but I find he's a loveable unwanted.

I hated him when we signed him, I've hated him the past 2 years, and i'll hate him until he leaves.

Just to be clear, the player, not the human being.

I think they take a goalie in the 2nd (if they have not traded the pick).

I had forgotten how cute it was around the sheer dumb optimism that a "rebuild" brings. Love you guys, never change. Even after the last 14 first round picks that turned out to not achieve. The spirit of Danny Kristo commends you.

Yeah where we had some not so great human beings on the team I hated more

1: Danny Kristo was a 2nd round pick.

2: I'll kill you.

3: Love you too.

Lane Hutson is Adam Fox...c'mon. That's some really big hopes. Being the Ghostbear would be an easier ask. Or Krug.

The joke was that QP always went on about how every player (Laurent Dauphin, Towers, Primeau etc) were all basically 1st rounders on any other team.

You can't blame us for being excited about Hutson. His production and level of play speak for themselves. I was kidding when I said he'd be Adam Fox, it's only hope at this point.

There was no way we could have ever figured out that joke without you explaining it.
