he did not say it that clearly, but he did say that the team's future is unclear at the moment and that he is not able to offer him a contract at this time.

so why would it be any different on July 1st?

meh, I take it that they just dont want to commit long term with the guy, even if they like him a lot. it was only a polite way to say it.

he was talking about the current context for Monahan, as a playoff spot is very unlikely, and that Hughes had promised him he'd trade him in such circumstances.

Well, tbh with a flat cap and no one with cap space, the last 2-3 years, it has been boring in general.

I expect most of the work on the Habs roster will be done over the summer.

then it wouldn't be boring, but depressing?

my point exactly, we could be surprised but I don't expect a lot of blockbuster moves.

il a aussi mentionné sa situation contractuelle et que le CH n'etait pas prêt actuellement à prolonger son contrat

anyway les joueurs qui partent comme ça ne resignent pas l'été suivant avec le club qu'ils l'ont échangé

je l'aime bien aussi, mais la vie continue

I would be, it's a feeling but I don't think he's MSL and Hugo's favorite.

not sure if you got that idea because of the fact that they sent him down to Laval but it was the right thing to do, personally it doesn't tell me they aren't fond of the kind of player he is.

All those long-term contracts signed 4+ years ago, when everyone though the cap was gonna continue to rise, are clogging up the system. Even bad teams are at the cap.

Will take another 2-3 years before we are back to normal, assuming nothing else pandemic-like happens again.

and also assuming the cap does go up as the NHL is saying, my trust in this league isn't all that high so I'll believe it when I see it.

En partie, but not only that, the way they talk about him in press conferences, the dumb penalties ect..

Every other young guy they are super protective of even when they suck balls, but couple of times they didn't hesitate to point the finger at him, again just my personnal opinion/feeling

I never felt they ever threw him under the bus as you're suggesting, but I guess it's possible.

most likely an off season move if they do it, but you never know

no hurry to move a defenseman at all

you cant botch a trade like that

if it's for a 1st round pick they have to entertain the idea but I'm not convinced it would go that high.

Barron est retourné à Laval, Harris fait des allers retours entre les estrades et l'alignement partant

Il y a du traffic à la ligne bleue en ce moment

Pas certain non plus que Wifi a eu un traitement injuste, pas du tout. Mais le dude doit travailler certains aspects et se concentrer sur son rôle de défenseur. Oui il amène une présence physique, mais il savait en début de saison sur quoi travailler (moins de punitions, la zone défensive pis pas se sortir du jeu pour tuer qn)

exactement, il doit apprendre la ligne entre le jeu robuste et légal VS des pénalités coûteuses pour l'équipe.
