And no Lechy, our 3rd leading scorer. Good thing we have Armia and Drouin to shut things down.

Marchand all alone. Easy 1-0 for the bad guys.

Savard ties it up. Nice goal. Nice pass from Romy to Savard too.

If Ken Holland isn’t kicking himself in the butt for not picking up Jake Allen, I hope someone else is.

Savard ties it up. Nice goal. Nice pass from Romy to Savard too. Trade Savard now! Im kind of glad they kept Savard. He’s solid defensively and has shown more offense than I expected. You need some veterans around, especially with the young D kids arriving. Barron! Yes! Edmundson is another good guy to keep. |

The worst result. Marchand scores the winner and we pick up that loser point

The loser point is better than 2 points

We’re gonna get a bagful of pucks for Petry. The way he’s playing his nickname will be putrid Petry. He did not position himself well at all in that OT. Much bigger risk than he needed to take being that low when we didn’t have complete control of the puck.

Allen was very good. Hope Dubas and Holland are watching and kicking themselves. Goofs.
Loser point and two goals from Marchand. Not a nice feeling to this game in which the boys played decently despite getting heavily outshot. This team is on a run against some heavy weights starting with tonight.
19 left.

Much bigger risk than he needed to take being that low when we didn’t have complete control of the puck. That whole sequence was a gong show. Saw that goal coming as soon as the puck turned the other way. |

Not sure the boys played all that well. Allen was the first star. Suze and Cole were unnoticeable.
But the obvious assessment is that this rebuild will not be complete until Hughes gets rid of Hoffman and Drouin. These two are so soft it's embarrassing. And no decent team can have a soft player unless they can produce; something Hoffman and Drouin can not do.They are a liability both on the ice and on the cap. The two of them account for $10 million in cap space. That's ludicrous.

My guess is that when Drouin's contract expires next season he will just not be renewed along with Byron whose deal also ends in 2023. The club will just have to wait it out.

Those two are next year’s trade deadline potential moves for sure. He is going to try and move out from some of the bad contracts in the off season and beyond. I don’t expect he will move them all, as he has often repeated this is not a fire sale. He still wants to field a competitive team sooner rather than later. But even a few will give much needed cap relief. And in the end, the elephant in the room is still Price’s health, future and that contract. Oh, and kudos to Allen for stealing a point last night (although he can stop it now lol). Boston smothered the boys last night, especially on the PP that looked just terrible. When your two scorers are Savard and Armia, you know it was just one of those nights. |

The D should look different next year. Assuming we keep Savard, Edmundson, Schueneman and Wideman along with Romanov and add (to start with) Barron and Harris, I can see
Romanov/ Savard
Edmundson/ Schueneman
Barron / Harris
Wideman
MSL will have to work out the pairings cause it's a not a good mix to me. Schueneman is best on the 3rd pairing but Harris and Barron are too inexperienced for second pairing yet, but maybe not. If Harris is mature enough for second pair, I'd love it. Guhle, Xhekaj, Norlinder may all be in the mix as well, but wow, is that a lot of depth and good skating, skilled depth. It's only a matter of time before those guys replace Edmundson, Savard and Schueneman. And we still have Struble and Fairbrother who may make it.
I really like that Hughes is stretching some of our picks into 2024. You want an ongoing pipeline. The more picks the better and the more they are fitted into future years, the fewer gaps in the prospect pipeline. Also, the better the chance that some contending team (from whom you get the picks) is on the downslope. I would have no problem going out 3 and 4 years. The Sharks thought they were trading a #25+ pick to Ottawa and instead it turned into a #4. Sheesh, I just looked at that trade and it might be one of the historically best trades ever.

I predict Mailloux will be the best of the lot. Strangely, you don’t even mention him |

I'd be surprised if Wideman is around come next season - he brings little. I see Petry is not included and agree he will likely be traded. But if that happens I'm betting Hughes picks up a top 4 dman over the summer.
I'm also hoping we see Barron in a few games this season #playthekids

My thoughts were that his drafting raised such a kafluffle that Molson might like to not have that issue hanging around. I think he still has normal value for a first round pick, especially if he keeps putting up points and plays well in his own end. Injured right now, I gather. |

He is talented (in particular his offensive tools are intriguing), but there is no way Mailloux is NHL-ready any time soon. I even have my doubts about whether Guhle should skip a developmental step (AHL).
Basically I see 2022-23 being something of a mess on the blueline. Not getting into where each guy will slot in, the left side is basically Edmundson, Romanov, Harris, and Schueneman. Maybe Chiarot or Kulak comes back but I doubt it. The right side is anyone's guess since Petry has a foot out the door. Savard will be there and I assume Barron is ready enough to cut his teeth in the league. I do not like his game much, but it would not surprise me if Wideman is re-signed. Because, really, what is there on the right side in Laval? Brook is not convincing enough now and I am not sure he ever will be. A Euro like Norlinder can supposedly play the right side without much drama but is he strong and determined enough to break through in the NHL. I would imagine that Hughes gets some kind of established NHLer via UFA to plug in on the right and give the young guys some cover.
