The “Rebuild” appears to be in its last stages

[lecoqsportif]

how do we see the d pairings going to start the season.

Matheson - Savard
Guhle - Barron???
Arber - Struble???

Hutson
Mailloux

Maybe Guhle up with matheson. Move savard back and play Hutson with him ??

Reinbacher? He might not be in Laval for long…

 

[lecoqsportif]

I also would not be shocked if another d-man is traded sooner rather than later.

Savard…

 

[GEEMAN]

LM being a righty helps him

Yup , and Hugo has 2 trade chips in Matheson and Savard to move

 

[GEEMAN]

Reinbacher? He might not be in Laval for long…

leave him in Laval for the year

 

[Krustchev]

leave him in Laval for the year

If he needs it, sure, otherwise, no reason to.

 

[worm]

Probably have to trade Matheson soon because hutson and LM are gonna steal his PP spot

His game is already more complete than Mailloux’s was. Just a case of being sure he’s ready for the small rink at NHL speed.

He needs to get acclimated to the pro game and he had injury issues all last year

Half season in Laval minimum for me

 

[Habsy]

Savard…

Deadline deal for a first

No to trading Matheson unless the deal is a clear overpayment.

Gotta trade him before his value tanks.

 

[Habsy]

He just hit his stride. He won't diminish for 3-4 years. I agree to not extend him but no reason to sell now.

 

[CH1]

Gotta trade him before his value tanks.

So, trade him after he wins the Norris this year?

Yes. That would be ideal.

Gotta trade him while still the PP1 guy.

If the Habs are going anywhere they will need hutson and/or LM to be elite. Which means they are getting his PP minutes.

Sell high! I'd also be fine signing him to a cheap deal but it can't be based on his PP numbers.

 

[Habsy]

Selling Matheson now is actually a step back in the rebuild. The higher offensive skill youngins need to learn from him.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Savard first. This season.

Matheson next year.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Savard first. This season.

Matheson next year.

If Habs are in wildcard hunt there will be no selling off assets for picks at deadline - they will simply be viewed as deadline acquisitions

Not now. Maybe trade deadline but probably offseason.
