Honestly, Kent Hughes is arguably already the best (smartest) GM in the league
I wana see him get 50 points
See where they end up in the standings. But you have to think GM of the year for this year with the summer he has had
i am so pumped for this season, lets go habs, and i knew we were going in that direction but didnt expect this much in one summer, i thought maybe another year or two we be at this point so lets get this season started woooooo
Hugues creates win/win situations for other gms. Hugues calculate his odds of success and GMs appreciate trading with him.
Bergevin did good trades, but they were more fishing and moving assets than what Hugues is doing.
If they stay healthy and Anderson has a bounce back year as well Armia plays like he did the 2nd half of the year they will be a strong team but they need to tighten up the defensive zone play
I don't think it would happen but we can imagine 😉 Let's say if the habs made the playoff this year and the Leafs don't !
The hugeness of the pile of beep beep that will fell upon the Maple Leafs Sports Entertainment organisation in Toronto.
Start to look like the 10’s Blackhawks for the future
Haven't seen this much fire power now and just elite prospects in every corner since 93 Habs. We will be a dangerous team next year watch!
Im waiting to see what comes of Askarov trade 🤷 but, its easily either motreal or Nashville that have had the strongest off season!
Kent Hughes pulled off a masterpiece this off season. Between the draft and signing Patrick Laine it is a masterpiece. MSL is the perfect coach too help rekindle Laine's career. I honestly give Huges off season an A+. There really isn't much more to do. Yes can maybe shore up the goaltending but with Jacob Fowler coming up soon I think we can go a season with Monty and Primeau.
I am going to say if there healthy Montreal they will be a dark horse and will be in the playoffs go HABS go
Laine will crush the Leafs.
Habs are going to surprise everyone this year! Armia will have a great year.
All the Time your timing
Keep the Dutch Gretzky’s name out of your F’ing mouth… 😅😅😅
Habs are sleeping giants, they are beginning to stir.
Even if Montreal falls low in the standings, we have a ridiculous amount of picks next draft. So I wouldn't mind a final bottom feeding season.
what summer has he had ? drafted yakupov 2.0 and traded for a locker room cancer lol
still gonna finished last in the atlantic 😎
Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky
Laine-Dach-Demidov
Newhook-Hage-Roy
Mesar-Beck-F.Xhekaj
Hutson-Reinbacher
Guhle-Mailloux
A.Xhekaj-Barron
Fowler
Montembeault
This team is now setup to succeed. Plus we have 21 draft picks in the next two years 🤯.
If everything came together the way u described it they’d make a run
Demidov Suzuki Laine Caufield Slafkovsky..
Summer of kent
Can't win if your goaltending blows the games.
Cant beleive any of you Hockey genius are not on the Armia and Aatos factor
Yes there from Finland watch them step up
look im a fan of montreal, but nashville did dominate this summer haha
