Why the Montreal Canadiens Won't Stay at the Bottom for Long! 

You can still have a guy like Gally in the lineup I think he can still be a spark on offense. But i agree with most of what you said

@@xavierdube6520 It's the 6.5 million dollar salary. He's a warrior and he deserves it but he's on the downslide of his career. There is little doubt the Hughes is trying to dump him to hometown Vancouver or maybe LA where Bergevin can reignite their bro love. I'm not being disrespectful here....Bergevin was all about the personal and not the objective. Why would you give Carey Price 8? years at 10.5M except for loyalty. Yzerman wouldn't do that and he's all about the business and that's what you have to be if you want to win the Cup in this cap era. Go HABS go!

That would be down!

And just imagine being able to trade hoffman in march on top of that

Yeah they are gonna be in really good shape

Do not forget that the 25M is enough to Sign Caufield and bring in Dubois and Huberdeau.

@@kyuketsuki_72 They’ll need a #1 D and a #1 goalie to obtain and pay.

@@davechan8613 2024 has many free agent goalies like Helle and Jarry. #1 will be tough to find.

We're going to make it out of the first round before the Leafs do :)

A top 5 in next years draft is almost a guaranteed star

YESSSSSS

@@DropthePuckHockey Exactly, I dont think Habs are gonna win another lottery, but if they can pick 3rd or 4th, we can either choose Adam Fantilli or Dalibor Dvorsky, two guys who would have been picked first in the last draft. Some people don't know that, but Adam Fantilli is the oldest player of next draft, being born a 12th of October, he's actually going to be 19 even if he immediatly plays in the NHL. A big centerman who's NHL ready right away is a big plus.

We will be like the leafs in 2 yrs .. No goalie

@@GreyZonex oof

This summer is stupid lol

I wasnt surprised Was overjoyed they did there homework

EXACTLY

Bedard was average in World Juniors small frame overated Mitchkov

We are looking at at least 2 more years out of playoffs but we wont be bottom Hawks Arizona Seattle are much worst and the Sens are always there too even though on paper they look good, a pic in the top 10 is plausible

3-4 years we’re solid ( of course there’s always two side to a medal )

Blue line got better when Petry was traded. Mickey Mouse would be better. Some promising prospects as well.But a 1# goalie will definately be a problem once Price is done

@@idontgivea1769 i mean he done already tbh like when ur goalie can’t even play 3 games in a row it’s over

@@williambergeron516 Thank you! That's what I keep trying to tell every Price fanboys out there; even if he had a Sv% 0.99 it means squat if he misses 1/3 - 2/3 of the season every year. When it's not his crouch or his knee it's his god damn mind. There's always something with Price. I'd rather have a mid-level goalie that is reliable than a superstar who doesn't show up.

Primeau had better stats in ncaa while being younger. Goalie developpement takes time. They become mature around 25 to 28 years old.

@@alexbarrette9762 Primeau had a much better team. Dobes carried his team on his back.

Bruh Weber was trade a while back.

@@siriusxmproductions5697 he's talking about the beginning of last season, Weber was traded near the end of the season

Na, just let Dadonov leave as well, no1 wants him

Lol another top 5 pick ? Hopefully you can develop players properly unlike those busts who were drafted 3 Rd like Galchenyuk and KK , Drouin and Dach lmao 🤣🤣🤣 Dump fire trading top Romanov for worse kk in dach . Once Price returns retires , expect bottom 10 for awhile .

Slafkovský - Dvorský - Mešár, lol all Slovak line. Šťastný brothers vibes.

nobody is taking savard n hoffman but with a salary retain we can trade dadanov for a pick or 2 to a contender since his contract ends next yr

@@TheHenryDuong Are you stalking me or something, get a life, honestly.

And they're guaranteed bottom 5, Hopefully they can develop players unlike the past decade or so .Otherwise those draft picks are useless.

@@TheHenryDuong And Have u seen the Panthers roster so far this postseason i pick Ottawa over them to make the playoff which mean we might have 2 picks in the top 15

@@VsXLucKy you're on crack if you think panthers pick will be this high 😆

​​@@VsXLucKy Never underestimate Aleksander Barkov and his mini-me, Anton Lundell. Bringing in Matty Tkachuk adds grit to their team. But losing Weegar I think will hurt. As long as Bob plays good again, they should be fine.

@@wolfdreams1545 I dont think they'll be bad bad i just think that Ottawa might be in better position to make the playoff ahead of FLO

How true , still a lot of murmurring with fans & with non fans of the Habs !!!!

Wait, who are you talking about, top tier goalie? You're saying Price will be a top tier goalie in the spring/summer of 2024, at around 37 years old?

@@Hubcool367 , no , I'm saying Price;s future will be determined THIS summer, before the start of the season 22/23 . if he plays it will be because he will be able to be a top tier.He wants a Stanley cup and deserves one, I hope he gets one before retirement.

@@pierre-pete-martin7576 oh, I see what you mean. Top tier goalie OR LTIR, but either way the issue will stop being an issue. Unfortunately I'm really not sure about Price being top tier ever again, so LTIR sounds like the best thing that could happen, but I'd be happy if Price is able to prove me wrong.

Drouin Hoffman Dvorak. Keep Gally for captain unless they plan to give it too Suzuki. Could maybe even dish Anderson.

you just know this creep is a leaf fan

@@Darkside-to6bs >>> bite yer NOSe youngster! Habs fan since 1955. When did you jump on our wagon?

when they traded Ralph Backstrom to the Kings for their 1st round draft pick

You can win with 5m $ goalie look at avalanche. We need star forwards, enough with the goalies

@@UltraViolence90 avalanche is one example … Look at last decade .. how many teams won cup with an average goalie ? And actually .. i have one better .. How many teams have awesome offense and got eliminated precisely because bad goalie ? Oilers, Flames, Leafs all got eliminated last year precisely because of weak goalies. Give Leafs a Vasilevsky and they woukd of gotten the cup.

Maybe Price will stick around and get one last shot at a championship in 2025. If not, Montembault looked great last year and they have a lot of prospects that can be traded for a goalie.

....before I agree with you....can you please tell me what your credentials are? in other words; what is your authority on this...you seem very confident. Thanks

@@Intruder-xw6ye We're all very confident behind a keyboard aren't we? Just an Habs fan for the last fifty years.

You should probably stick to five sentences max per paragraph.... then we might read that novel you typed.

@@TheCrazyCanuck420 You remind me of a bumber sticker I once saw, it read: my dad can send me to college but he can’t make me think. Go back to college or high school and learn how to read. If we’d all stick to catchy three words sentences, we’d be living down south in Trump’s Land.

Yeah I'm too sure about the Romanov trade I was disappointed when that happened good hard nosed defenseman are hard to find might be a terrible mistake

totally, Price has saved coaches and GM's his entire career.

@@elvisisalive2716 Like it was so fluke they won against the Leafs , you could see bergervin so excited high fiving the players in the finals cause his job was saved for the beginning next season .

@@TheHenryDuong ah, you’re a leafs fan. That explains a lot. Have you ever wondered why Toronto is by far the most hated team in the league? It’s because people like you are going to other teams stuff and being toxic while your team hasn’t done anything in the last 18 years.

@@TheHenryDuong where's the leafs fluke? It's been 18 years since they've won a round, they have a 60 goal scorer and still find a way to lose, you're still so mad about 2021 it's great

@@TheHenryDuong How come the Loser Leafs always lose in the first round to EVERYBODY??? 🤣😂🤣🍁💙🤡

leafs fan?

Dude it's Montreal, they don't know anything about developing players

@@TheHenryDuong tHey dO t KnoW aNYtHinG aBouT dEveLopIng PlaYERs , you clown you realize the front office has completely changed? People that say this are still stuck with Bergevin lol

@@TheHenryDuong pretty sad that a team that can't develop players still beat yours in a playoff series within the last year and has had more playoff success from 2004-2021 than leaf fans could dream of seeing

@@GrooviestSnow He’s too stupid to comprehend that concept. 700 lost man games is something else Hairy Dong is oblivious to. He’s just a poor lost loving loser leafs soul in need of retribution for his loser leafs shortcomings! 😂🤣😂🍁💙🤡

@@TheHenryDuong Dude it’s Toronto, they don’t know anything about winning playoff rounds

Only time will tell. If they would have picked Wright, the majority of the sport ''experts'' would have been mad. They all seemed to think that Slafkovsky was the best pick. So they take him and of course, a lot of fans are mad they didn't pick Wright. There just no way to make a unanimous choice. But i trust in the new Montreal managers. In the end, only time will tell.

You’ll need to go a little further than just pull up hockeydb stats sheets for once in your life on this one, brother. If you wanna understand. You would need to know that Slafkovsky was played on the 3rd & 4th line in Liiga, with poor teammates & poor icetime quality. (AND Liiga is a defensive league. AND TPS Turku is one of the most defensive teams… AMONG this already defensive league). His coach in Turku was a bit of an idiot tbh. When Slafs came BACK from the Olympics… after TORCHING the tournament, being played 20mins a night on the top line & being named Tournament’s MVP… NOWWWW his coach in Turku realized this guy was really good and that he (the coach) had been an absolute DOOFUS for burrying him on the bottom lines. He started putting him on the first two lines, With better players and better icetime… And… CAN YOU GUESS WHAT HAPPENED my little Darcy? Oh yes! Slafs had SIX POINTS in the following SEVEN GAMES. On the other hand… Shane Wright didn’t play last year, right. Well that’s the thing… He COULD HAVE… played By going over to Europe Like other players have (Mason McTavish, Connor Bedard, etc) But NOOO. Mr. Wright decided instead to pick up the GUITAR. And start learning and playing the GUITAR. While other guys were actually getting better at…….. HOCKEY. And also… Beyond hockeydb stats sheets… You know what there is? WATCHING the actual GAMES the players play. Had you actually DONE THAT… THIS YEAR (And not : watch highlights compilations from his 15YEAR OLD ROOKIE SEASON, that goes back 2years) You would’ve noticed what NHL scouts have… Shane Wright was EXTREMELY LAZY. Guy is compared to Patrice Bergeron by the medias, right? HOW COULD THE HABS PASS ON THE NEXT PATRICE BERGERON. Let me ask you this. Does Patrice Bergeron… -arguably the best defensive forward inthe game- does he………. BACKCHECK ????? Cause that seems like the absolute most basic aspect of being good defensively, am I right? Of course he does… RIGHT?! Well Shane Wright DID NOT. This year. AT ALL !!!!!!!

Dumb Darcy.. Wright is good playing whit little boys.. Slaf dominates mens teams.. you will be deleting this stupid comment after couple of games

@@sb0182 Why did you have to do Darcy dirty like that? xP

Only have a handful of players - John Tavares, Aaron Ekblad, Connor McDavid, Sean Day and Shane Wright. 2 of the 4 are draft busts so far lol. Wright is talented, but a well known head case. His ocd is off the charts. Time will tell, lets not pretend we passed on Connor McDavid, Wright is NOT that type of a prospect
