Lekhonen on a 2nd line is the sign of a team that is struggling hard

This is true, although if he keeps developing like he did last year he'll be a legit top 6 winger in 2 more years.

They're not garbage yet, they'll always be competitive with Price in there. Let's see how the season plays out before we start trolling and laughing.

I'd be willing to bet that, for the third straight year, Habs come out of the gate looking like world beaters in October, only to be struggling for their playoff lives come January.

Wow.. some idiot Hab fan on the radio just said "atleast we're not screwed like the Leafs with 3 million over the cap, don't know how they're going to fix this"

They didn't become garbage, if anything the offseason has been a lateral move

Ignoring the depth signings and extensions, Habs offseason basically boils down to

In: Drouin, Alzner, Schlemko

Out: Radulov, Markov, Emelin, Sergachev

- Drouin replaces Radulov (long term I think that's a big win for Montreal)
- Alzner replaces Markov (that's a loss - even at 38 Markov is still a better player)
- Schlemko replaces Emelin (that's a win at half the cost)
- Sergachev (a big loss as we now have no surefire defensive prospects)

So.......yeah, lateral at best.

For all the optimism in Leafs land (and deservedly so, as much as it kills me to say), you guys had better enjoy the next 2-4 seasons because if your trio of young guys keeps developing at this rate (Nylander is putting up 100 points next year, for example), you're going to be in big cap trouble soon.

I love how Dopey's "Nylander will get 100 points" has now become a legit talking point.

Speaking of the cap, Habs are in pretty good shape.....they've got 22 of 23 roster slots filled and still have $9.1M left in space.













Saving for Tavares?!

no worries... 25mil in cap next season if we drop Bozak, Komarov and Fehr. and we'll only need to sign 3 Ds and Nylander.

I'm sure other things will happen but that's still pretty good.

And only need to sign Brown and we've got more than 9mil left for the upcoming season. lol

edit: oops forgot JVR but he'll get traded at deadline most likely. lol

The NBA jersey ads start this season. Yay.
Click to expand...

Almost every jersey revealed so far isn't too bad with ads. NBA also just switched to new jersey manufacturers, going from Adidas to Nike. Most teams don't seem to be making drastic changes, but the big thing for this summer is revealing jersey ads.

I like that they're small, and generally blend into the jersey. Orlando has Disney as their sponsor, which works out pretty well, for example.

Naturally, the Nets fucked this up though:

I'm still pretty much of the mind that the NHL will eventually follow suit, but it might not be the worst thing ever if the league copies the NBA on jersey ads.

Also I don't trust that the same amount of 'care' with those NBA ads will remain a few years down the line. Starting them off looking as unobtrusive as possible is smart, it'll keep the noise down when they first roll out. I'd wager we'll see full blown eyesores in time.

I can appreciate Red's positivity towards the Habs, tbh. Doesn't seem to be Tabris-levels delusions, though I hope it doesn't get there.

.917 oisv%

he isn't a defensive disaster... about average. see marchessault with his shiny 889 oisv oof

good oish%

firmly in the top 5 of the panthers in p60

high TOI

not too skewed zone starts

SA60 RelTM is near top of team

CF/FF leading, trailing... near tops


also the only source for QoC numbers I have doesn't have this seasons data... but last season he was playing the 3rd hardest matchups on the team (4th relqoc)

like... i haven't seen much that takes away from him yet


Maybe you should sign jagr?

Radulov at 5v5 last year: 8 goals and 23 assists in 1113 minutes.

Jagr at 5v5 last year: 8 goals and 25 assists in 1129 minutes.

66 points...

Under 30 goals

I wouldn't give him 10+

Maybe maybe I'd go 9

28th in the league in scoring, tied with freaking Jeff Carter

I mean he'll get it but he doesn't strike me as 10 million.
