Pascal Vincent will be the perfect replacement for Marty in a year or two. Can't happen soon enough.

Great show again, i love listening to dr. Morris s insights . And as far as the prospect i know Roy was there but he s my first guy more as a permanant this year . Than Mallioux and Hutson . Beck , Florian ,and Reinbacker ,and Kapanen. Heineman ,but with him ,hes got to do it this time because hes missing his oppertunities. Losing time with his chances.

Great episode again ,i think Pascal will be great fit ,and falls into exactly what habs have been working so hard on improving development of players. Without proper development there s no cup. The organization failed so many young prospects for so many years, nice to see the emphasis on development . And i think just from Pascal s response to media , hes on board and realizes develop right and you give yourself a chance to win caulder cup ,but more importantly future stanely cups . Keep the great episodes coming. Enjoying .

Love your long form and deep analysis of the Habs prospects. So interesting! I wouldn't mind the Habs having another bad year and picking a great prospect in next year's draft. We need to stock up on the most talent before they get out of the rebuild period. If we are ever to bring home the cup, it will be in 5 or 6 years. Suzuki will be at the end of his peak and some players like Mailloux, Reinbacker and others will be full on top tier players. There will be a window of opportunity to win the cup and everything should be perfectly aligned.

I believe Montreal will do everything humanly possible to bring Demidov over, they have 7 Russians drafted so you can bet they're working hard to establish a pathway to the NHL for their guys. Beck is probably gonna make it, Heineman has to prove it's his time. I hope the Habs shuffle a bunch of guys in for a look throughout the season, but with 5 contracts expiring, the opportunity is knocking and Montreal has to shape it's team from who's available as well as to evaluate their development system. Like your Monday show, it's very comprehensive for this rebuild period. THX

Great job interesting episode. On the question on do i think Hughs should ve been more aggressive in signing free agent as july 1st hit? No i m quite pleased they stayed on coarse and didnt buckle under preasure. I think the prior regime would ve caved and made huge mistakes which we would ve had our rebuild set back hugely. So i commend Gorton/ Hughs for standing firm. We have enough bad contracts were still suffering from thanks to prior regime. Anderson , Galagher, even as much as i loved Price , that contract was outrageous. This exec crew is on rught track. However i do think they might have made over exagerated habs progression for the up and coming season of habs battling for playoff spot. This teams not there yet. So i think they should ve been a little more careful with their words. Alot of habs fans will hold them to their comments. We have a very unforgiving fan baze lol however with those projected comments from them i expect their working on bigger trade probably envolving alot of moving peices which i m thinking could be a very simular type trade as the Petry tradw last year. And it ll probably be around the same timing as last year just before season begins . I think i that trade we may see a couple of our loaded young defense core moved in it . I expect either one big trade like that or two smaller trades for it to be divied up in to get at least one top six winger. Keep up the great show guys , i enjoy what you are doing its a much more matured indepth thought podcast ,reality wise looking into habs . I commend you .

The THN website is a smashing success if the idea was to create a video game where visitors get to chase text all over the screen as it randomly scrolls hither and fro as it plays tag with an assortment of snazzy ads. Yeah, stopped visiting, I prefer actually reading something.

Great job Amy good seeing you back

Free agents don't make sense now. Mb next year...definitely in 2 years

outstanding.... very appreciated. Items of importance next year.... We need the Rocket to make the playoffs.... I see this as important for the progression.

What's your opinion on Bobrov and the other scout guy( sorry name eludes me). They were both impressive to me during the Vegas interviews.

Burrows should have been gone when bergevin left. The same goes with simmons. Typical politics line, good call. Hopefully, he doesn't mess up wherever he ends up. My money says he's gone within 18 months.

Hughes was/is looking to sign short term so it's more unlikely.

GREAT ANALYSIS. WITH DEMIDOV..THE CANADIANS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. A LIGITE SUPER STAR..TOP NOTCH

Great show again in dept. I was quite pleased with how the 1st round unfolded. I never dreampt Demidov could fall on our lap. I thought for sure Chicago was taken him. I m not sure what they were thinking ,but happy as hell they had a lapse. Lol i totally love Gorton s poker face . Habs played that out well. I was happy with both players in the first round . Now 3rd round on i think is a crap shot in drafts any way. Nice stories between Hage ,and Koivu . But overall pleased we may finally have a top NHL star since Naslund. Keep up the great work .

We have not had a game changer since PK but coach/players ruined him and imo he got too big lifting weights that also ruined his greatness. Something of note is that our last cup winning team 93 was more or less based on a great well rounded TEAM not any one superstar.The problem is that in a salary cap world that team would not have existed. Something else of note our best plus minus players were Lyle Odelein and Mike Keane proving it is not always about the superstar you need tough good smart two way players.Carbonneau also proved you didn't need SIZE either smarts and willing to engage is all you need. In todays game a sueprstar is needed because you won't build a great 3 line team the cap won't allow it and in Demidov we finally got one.

LE SERPENTE BOIVERT SAID HES THE BEST PICK SINCE GUY LAFLEUR....A KNOWN HAB HATER AND A SNAKE SAID THIS ...I GOT CHILLS

Norlinder wasn’t qualified either…

I really think, Demidov is the best prospect since McDavid, and not because i'm a Habs fan, he's really special.

I'm going to go out on a limb here....Hughes will pass on a dynamic Russian forward to draft a D-Man. History will repeat itself, and Hughes will screw up...again

At 5 take the best player available.

I would go with Tij Iginla for Mtl 5th rd pick unless Demidov is available. Iginla was not my choice but with him being one of the youngest in this year draft and him playing Center next year I think his celling is higher than People think. Very safe pick that could bring you a solid NHL player for a long time.

I think the talent level is so close that they can kind of stick to their need . Which for me is Lidstrom , Dmidov, Senecke,Siliev ,than Iginla . Great show guys . Thats the order i ld go.

Pullups don't stress your lower spine! If anything, they ease pressure off a herniated disc. Now skating? That's not good for this injury. Skating and playing full contact hockey? That's at the extreme end of the worst for this injury. Unless he lets team doctors access all his medical reports, I'd stay away from Lindstrom with a high pick. Too much risk. If he didn't miss pretty-much half his D season to this and the other injury, I'd say he's a top-5 pick without question. And if he did play and kept improving the last half, he'd be challenging for #2. IMO.

Problem is that nobody can confirm the actual injury

YAY! FourNations in Montreal! Congrats to Hutson & Fowler for the invite to the Combine! Wait...What?... KH??? Okay...I'm completely confused with what he plans, or says he plans on doing now. Geez. 🙄 Don't touch Savard. No way. 👿Nope! Prospect talk- Still a difficult one for me. There's soooo many and I honestly wouldn't even be able to comment on how many you guys cover. Oof...Question of the week...I'm torn but IF we could get a really good forward, I'd go with that option first. IF we could get a better denfenseman than any available good forward, then I'd have to reluctantly say that would be my choice. Thanks guys! Great show. 💙🤍❤

Great episode guys . I was so impressed with seeing some legitimacy on the back injury of Lidstrom . It was getting so tiresome listening to alot of small podcast just spewing garbage on Lidstoms back injury info on a basic medical report . Those paticular small podcast like to fly off any gossip or articles having no credible or factual proof for their comments . But influence alot of their followers with total bs . I was so happy to see you actually interview a back specualist to support what the actual injury entails . I know the injury well and when i played full contact sports in my day i had that injury and it didnt stop me from finding a program to strengthen the back and i was fine back during playing days . So i knew the venum they were spewing was false information. But they attempt to sway their followers to support the player they want or try to influence habs pic. Which i m sure habs management is smarter than that. So i half to commend the credibility of your show . Well done getting a proffessional back Dr. To address it . And to exactly deflate the fulse commentary being promoted by those paticular podcast channels. It just verifies their lack of credibility of their podcast. However i marvel that they get the followings they obtain running off pure false info and their click bait. I would hope that fans of habs following them would want legit info not gossip and false info. So great job i was so impressed with you doing that with the dr. It was nice to hear him give the facts on that injury and say he would nt avoid drafting Lidstrom because of that , where its not to the level of an injury to warrent not drafting him. Just as i knew from having that injury myself. But to here him say the truth thst he ld draft Lidstrom and wouldnt have that report hinder the habs from drafting Him. For me Lidstrom the perfect fit and Demidov would be second choice. But i would nt go for another dmen with that pic. Too much of a log jam already at d in habs land. I ld trade it away before drafting a d men this time. Its Lidstrom or Demidov or its a bust . But great job getting an expert to address the actual facts about the injury. I love a show that has integrity. Keep up the good work.

Necas is really the only perfect fit i see this year. I ld be willing to give up Matheson and the 26 th pic and A small type prospect like a Ferrel. Or Beck as long as the contract is dealt with on Necas s contract is extended in a agreement that would be part of the agreement . Also i think you could try a 3 team deal might also solve any issues . Other than that the only other players you mentioned would be the Devils with either Mercer or Holt . Other than that i ld just use the 26 th pick if you cant make one of those three deals. We could than also trade the 26 th pivk and a couple of extra 2nd rounders to move that pick up so that we ld possibly be able to get someone like a Seneke type for future with a Listrom that would be an awesome injection of size and talent . Zegras is talented but doesnt fit habs . We need size and strong character players. However i do think they ll make a splash trade with that 26 th pick. Seems to be their trend. However this time we need to do alot better top 6 player that isnt a project player. This draft and off season has huge implications on our rebuild time frame .

Most players need to find a "partner" to help them develop a consistent style of game that gets results within your skillset. With that in mind, I've always hoped our draft picks come to the organization ASAP and train, develop, play with the guys that are signed, their "teammates". Never mind going for the "College Experience" for a degree you may never use. If you want a professional sports career, why not go pro and start earning and take classes that lead to a post career direction as you go along. The Habs have invested in player development to bring as many prospects to the NHL under the system, passing up that for the great memories of college seems, not a well thought out plan. We've got years ahead to be a contender, we need guys who 'want it'.

The "Utah Renegades" or "Ramblers" or "Utah Salt" or "Tumbleweeds"....

im thinking that the habs could move down iginla could fetch a large reward from calgary allowing the habs to draft eiserman

Part of the reason they sign local guys to fill out minor league rosters is that they want to play in Quebec. That certainly isn't the case for most non Quebecois.

Sheesh...At this point, I have to wonder if the 'powers that be' have any idea what they are doing. I sure don't. I guess that, at this point, all a person can do is wait and see how this all pans out. Thanks Amy 💙

Extending the contract with the coaching staff is a disaster of many magnitudes; In my opinion; underestimated. Im this case, we are talking not only about those years during which these coaches will work, but also about several years later, during which; the players they helped or did not help develop will be the cornerstones of the main team. Signing of a goalkeeper from Switzerland for A.H.L. It doesn't seem like a clear solution to Me. First. Of all, the size of the rinks. In the Swiss League they play not on the Finnish rinks, but on so-called airfields; which are few even in Europe. The transition to North American rinks is a challenge for a hockey player. However, for a goalkeeper these difficulties should be multiplied by two. The Swiss League is probably My favorite European League. But I can’t say that this particular goaltender stood out to me or that he dominated. If we look at Hughes' junior career, He changed teams every year or more. Then Connor moved to Europe and in the 2017-2018 season He did not play at all for Ambri (a team that was not in the best condition at that time). In the European leagues there is a special attitude towards Canadian players and if they have already arrived, they will be there; most likely to play. In the same season, he played 21 games for the Rockets, in which he allowed 3.2 goals (SV 903). I should mention here that the Swiss league is much more difficult for a goalkeeper; because hockey there is much more open than in Sweden and even more so in Finland. The following season, Hughes played 25 games for the same Rockets and allowed 4.6 goals per game (SV 893). The following year, 2.3 goals per game (SV 928(, but only 16 matches for the Langenthal. Further, Connor, is playing for several teams in each of the seasons. In total,, at the different levels of the Swiss hockey, pyramid, Hughes did not play even 15 games a year. In the 2022-2023 season, the Canadian goaltender played 36 games for Friborg, in which He had 2.32 goals per game (SV 907). But next year there were only 19 games for Lausanne and a couple of matches for other teams. As you can see, nothing spectacular. I certainly wish the coaches and Hughes the best of luck and would be happy to be proven wrong. But these are the doubts that I have and which I decided to share.

Yay Price! Good for him. So well deserved. Kinda shocked about resigning Houle given everything I've heard/read about him. Thought he was going to be gone. Listening to your podcast about him, why would they have extended him with those beliefs? OOF...That's just all sorts of wrong. I'm okay with trading Marty for a Matheson package. I'd be okay with trading Matheson for anybody. haha. I must be learning from you guys, given what Jerome had to say, I actually knew more about the guys he talked about, but obviously not all of them. Progress folks, I'm making PROGRESS! Thanks :) Question of the week...Easy...Use it as trade capital. Thanks again for another informative podcast! 💙🤍❤

Very timely video. Seems the players are behind Houle and those that have moved up or down and back have done pretty well. Hughes stabilized his goaltending. Incoming prospects should add some scoring punch which should help the Rocket have a stronger season. Hughes was mentored by Cristobal Huet and was the best goalie in Europe... I think this is a different beast than Mann was as Hughes is 27 from London, ON... not worried at all about him and his role with Dobes. Davidson could be fun if he can play a full season!

I would like to have seen Kas come back. He has been very upfront with the team and has said he wants to be a Rocket.

im not happy about jf houle . whatever ill outlast him always do . im also not a fan of fast tracked elcs . or smurfs on d , that can get you points .except in the playoffs . gorton/hughes second mistake with the habs imo . the first being that bad lehkonnen trade for barron .

Connor Hughes was so good this season he ended up fully establishing himself as the number 1 starter in Lausanne, which is one of the top 3 teams in the most talent-rich league in all Europe (just above the SHL) he's .940 in 19 games of regular season. Best SV% of all goalies in NL having played 15 games or more. Not only that but he then CARRIED that team to the Swiss playoffs final. He's got a .933 with 2 clean sheets in those 18 playoffs games. Kaskisuo ain't bad at all, and as you mentioned a good deal more AHL/NHL seasoned than Hughes, but let's be honest : he's nowhere near that level. If they're bringing Connor Hughes in it's clearly to challenge Dobes significantly more and try to bring the Rocket back into the playoffs. Times of mentoring are over, welcome to the era of fighting for the spot Jakub.

the head line says expert names first round choices and i am 24 minutes in and no first round. so i stopped. the head line should also be the first story. you do this all the time so i will stop listening

i am a bit upset houle was rehired . what is his job description ? to get players ready for the nhl,or develop players to be stars in the nhl? because i dont see him making any stars. does that explain why the riley kidneys dont develop and slafkovski will learn in the nhl? there seems to be a failure to communicate here. ok now i will rant a bit . hindsight is 20/20 . it was no secret about reinbacker? then how come i had to ask about him before the draft? why was every media and draft prospect outlet saying michkov ? its the same this year too. where are the parekh and yakemchuck or silayev vs levushunovs ? i would find it hard to imagine. that the habs would select a second line winger over a bobby orr or a hedman or pronger...since the habs dont really have the d needed to win a cup . yet gohabsgo

A degree for Carey Price? I though his signature was a X.

What a great show this week. Listening to Byron's thoughts on Beck, and Beck's on Byron, to the Canadiens and how they did in Prague, to former Canadiens, to coaches, to the gentleman that you had on this episode and his opinions on the Canadiens and Laval. I'll for sure want to listen to more of him. I thought he was awesome. As far as the question of the week...Been paying attention to the Men's World 😢 and the Playoffs. Come on Oilers! Fight, fight hard! FIGHT HARDER THAN HARD! PS The Oilers should borrow the Panther's coach for the 2nd or 3rd period, just to get that special talk! LOL Thanks again, guys. Great show, great job! 💙🤍❤️ PSS I think they did after last night's game..haha (May 29) EDIT-and again on May 31st. hahahaha. EDIT- AND YEEEEAAAS June 2nd! WOOT WOOT!

i would love to see byron coaching in laval.

Thanks, Amy😊

kelly buchburger got a sweet job. it is very strange that nobody has been resigned in laval yet . you guys are the only ones talking about it . except for me :P gohabsgo

Great news about Kapanen but from everything I've read (IF TRUE), given Oliver's situation right now, and if they were to bring him here, he'd be stuck on the 4th line.Whomp, whomp. MSL's, 'watch your career go to garbage' line. Not fair to him at all. Better off to wait until next year. Yay for Carey Price! So well deserved <3 Right 100% about Xhekaj! NO NO NO...Hey KH....Get rid of Matheson, White, Pearson,+++package them up and say goodbye. What's wrong with Molson? That should be an easy C'ya. LOL Geeeez..I honestly could not stop laughing at what the Panther's Coach had to say. I replayed it a couple of times, just to hear him say it again. Not even gonna try to comment on the prospects or the possible draft picks just because I honestly don't have near enough knowledge. I'll just sit and listen to what you guys have to say and continue to hopefully learn. OOF... I would love to see the Canadiens get a GOOD forward. With that said...If there are none, then the other option would have to be another D. 😥 Thanks guys! Loved the show today. You guys rock! 💙

Why wouldn’t every other Team ask about Arber. I look at the dump D pile and that is the first choice for any team. MM Arber or Baron who are you asking about first

Celebrini & all these super star players become kitty cats when you have a monster in Anton Silayev as a defenceman,as for talent wise ,the most talented player is Cole Hutson,& if he grows another 2 inches like his brother Lane ,he would be the steel of the draft

Moving up will cost and we have lotsa' D and trading Roy is a loss so trade Matheson and keep Savard as our veteran. but a large forward seems likely. We have Suzuki at 210 lbs, Dach, Slav, and Armia on our fourth line. Priority is not size. A play driver like Catton would add more to the TEAM concept and a need for variety. Catton has it all and needs weight which is simple to solve. Catton pound for pound is the best forward in the draft and the play driver will add more to the TEAM. Size is easy to find but a solid play driver will win hockey games. Lafleur, Richard, etc were all under 6ft but were Giants and were play drivers. We cant pass up on this opportunity. Pick Catton! in trade and may get Lindstrom at 5. GHG
