@HabsLaughs Would have been great to see him join the team, but it’s probably best for his development. If he doesn’t feel ready to make the jump, then he isn’t.

100% on the power play, or lack thereof if we can't close this thing out.

@fnveenie @GenoManager I sure thought that. Happy to be proved very wrong on the player he’s become
English
@GenoManager Not long ago alot of us thought 70 was the ceiling.
English
I assume Demidov's recent defensive breakthrough has made them feel comfortable moving Kapanen away from him.
English
@fnveenie @HabsOnReddit Would love to see them try this lol. Don’t know if it would work permanently, but would be interesting to see him forecheck on the 4th line for a game
English
Guhle is an absolute liability out there. Almost every night
English
@HabsChronicle Hasn’t been the same since coming back from his injury. Not sure if it’s something still lingering, but just doesn’t look like himself (and there’s not really any games where he’s showed flashes at all)
English
What are your thoughts on Kaiden Guhle these days?
We know what he can bring but doesn't feel like he's been anymore effective than Struble/Xhekaj lately.
English
@DocMorrisMD @HFTVSports Yeah I guess it’s just him and Dobson on the right. Hopefully they can call Reinbacher up and give him a shot. Too bad Engstrom wasn’t a righty as well
English
@AverageMattt @HFTVSports He has the advantage of being right handed
English
@DocMorrisMD @HFTVSports Insane that he never comes out when they switch struble and Xhekaj every game. He hasn’t looked great at all this season
English
@fnveenie @keoughan27 Would also make sense considering they extended Texier - feel like they wouldn’t have made that move without knowing that a few of the vets won’t be on the roster next year
English
@keoughan27 Vancouver is heading into a rebuild and may be interested in finding a guys who can lead during tough years.
English
I'm glad to see the team starting to make really difficult decisions. Their mindset has shifted drastically over the last 12 months. No more free rides. Perform, or you're out. This summer will be very interesting.
English
@DemidovHabs He’s gotta lead the league in giving up a goal on the first shot over the last few years. It’s insane that this keeps happening
English
@HabsChronicle When Suzuki got back to the bench after the goal, Marchand stood up and was pumping him up - it’s a type of play he would make so he loved it
English
@xwleblancx @NHLRumourReport I would do this in a heartbeat. Anyone who wouldn’t do this on the habs side is crazy. He’s an elite playmaker with 3 PPG seasons already. Our top 6 would be nasty
English
@NHLRumourReport Zharovsky, Reinbacher, 1st, Kapanen gets it done then.
I'd do that
English
Nick Kypreos: Re Robert Thomas: The price is astronomical, in the vicinity of something equivalent to three top-15 first-round picks. [Armstrong's] looking for cache in prospects and picks. I don’t know what team would do that - Sportsnet (2/2)
English
@DemidovHabs Where does he even slot when hage and other players are in? Not skilled enough for top 6, but not physical or defensive enough for a bottom 6 (not to say he can’t develop that part of the game)
English
Kapanen is probably the worst player I’ve ever seen when he’s expected to control the puck. Not exaggerating I’ve never seen anyone this bad at it
English
Broken sticks and unreliable goaltending. Story of the season.
