Habs Season Thread: Offseason 2025

So... what's our lines look like next season?

Slafkovsky - Suzuki - Caufield
Laine - Dach - Demidov
Bolduc - Newhook - Anderson
Blais - Evans - Gallagher

Guhle - Hutson
Matheson - Dobson
Xhekaj - Carrier

Montembault
Kahkonen​
 
Just a note on rookie defensemen who have played games in the NHL during the HUGO era, there are 8.

Kept
Guhle
Wifi
Hutson
Struble

Traded (3 right handed)
Mailloux - Bolduc
Kovacevic - 4th rounder
Barron - Carrier
Harris - Laine and 2nd rounder

Conclusion: the two best ones with a lot are still with the team (Guhle and Hutson). The high demand for RH defenseman shows here with the fact that three of the four traded are righties even though we all think of the left-handed side of the house as having more assets.

I think we’re done trading defensemen with MM being a UFA in 12 months.

Switch out Laine and Bolduc (maybe), and Guhle and Matheson, and then move Matheson to the right side and Hutson to the left side. No idea about Dobes or Kahkonen.

I don’t think Blais starts the season on the Habs. Might be Kapanen.

Not sure how far Reinbacher is from the big club.
