A regular contributor on a Panthers blog suggested 4 pre-season games max. Two for the prospects and 2 for the veterans. Could not agree more. Stop the insanity and hopefully limit the injuries. And he also points out this would extend the off-season by two weeks for additional rest.
veteran vs. veteran games would honestly lead to alot less injuries, alot more self-preservatuion going imo. alot of big injuries come from players looking to create a splash to earn their spot on a roster or PTO's getting a contract. 4 games max, 2 prospect/tryout vs. prospect/tryout and 2 veteran vs. veteran imo.
Caufield - Suzuki - Slaf (duh lol) Newhook - Dach - Armia Roy - Evans - Anderson Pezzetta - Kapanen - Gallagher Matheson - Guhle Hutson - Savard Xhekaj - Struble Monty Primeau Armia while not showing much in pre-season, judging off last season I think deserves at least a small time on the 2nd line. Roy probably plays himself to that 2RW (or 2LW) spot early in the year but I could see Army/Andy getting a chance there. Struble I think was the most impressive between himself/Mailloux/Barron. Barron probably stays as the 7th D and Mailloux sent to Laval for another conditioning year. Kapanen really impressed as well, Dvorak despite his 2G in 3(?)GP didn't look that great, he should be a healthy scratch to send him a message. Other than that I feel like most of these guys are in their projected spaces.
I think you nailed it with this lineup. I also take Barron over Mailloux and Struble. Barron also has to clear waivers to be sent down, which means its unlikely we send him down. Unless we make a trade of some kind for one of these young defensemen, I see Barron starting the season with us. He has become better defensively and his skating helps on offense. I didnt like him last year, but hes gotten better. Kapanen was a surprise standout and played a solid, composed all-around game, I hope he sees some playing time on the second line. Barre Boulet unfortunately didnt stand out enough, nor did Engstrom or Heineman or Tuch. I hope we see some more F. Xhekaj soon, but there are no spots in the roster for him unless he seriously improves.
@@austyn307 ABB had 3 points in his 3 games on 12 minutes. Pezz had more giveaways, around the same ice time, and if not for the empty net, 1 goal in 3 games. Pezz brings energy, but hes not good enough, and ABB is now the perfect 13th forward atm. Imo, he performed for what his role should be just enough.
@@mikey._.33 ABB might have had more points, but his impact was negligible otherwise. Pez obviously does bring the energy and also got on the board. Realistically, i dont see BarreBoulet taking his spot unless he outright outperformed Pez and I do not think he did.
Caufield - Suzuki - Slaf Newhook - Dach - Armia Gally - Dvorak - Anderson Pezzetta - Evans - Barre-Boulet Matheson - Guhle Hutson - Savard Xhekaj - Struble Monty Primeau I expect some animosity for that game, that's why I think that Pezz will be there and I also think that Roy didn't show enough this preseason.

I agree about Roy. I've been saying that for a while. He's got talent but lacks grit and explosiveness in his game. Not to say he's not capable, but yeah, I'd like to see more from him for sure.
Please Marty, that umbrella PP strategy isn't working. Just get back to 2 left d's with Hutson-Xhekaj in the back. Xhekaj has the heaviest slapshot of the league. Am I the only who seeing this? Just like Souray-Markov back in 2008-2009
My opening night roster predictions is that the best players for Montreal that are available will be dressed (not a habs fan but I've been enjoying watching your videos :) )
The big thing from the game was the new fourth line, Evans, Gally, and Anderson. They played together a lot. I’ve been saying it for months, this is a good fourth line. If they score, it’s a bonus. They are all vets and go grind for 40, then do whatever asked, especially on the PK.
I guess I would go like this: Caufield -Suzuki - Slaf Newhook - Dach - Roy Kapanen - Dvorak - Anderson Armia - Evans - Gallagher Matheson - Guhle Hutson - Savard Xhekaj - Struble Montembeaut Primeau
all I want is Xhekaj on the ice, Roy for some NHL experience, Kapanen for all the great potential he has shown, Lane Hutson off course, Pezzetta to be assistant-sheriff and maybe an other young guy. Dvorak, Armia and Galllagher have had enough ice time already
I know its just the pre-season but I'm really disappointed with Wawa. Think he needs to start in Laval- keep Kapanen or even ABB in his place. And to think what an opportunity he had with Laine's spot in the line up. Actually can we get that Thorpe guy from the rookie camp - he looked liked a gamer.
I'm really looking forward to watching the Canadiens in the regular season. I didn't watch any preseason because it's not a reflection of what we can expect. Way too many preseason games that mean nothing.
Can’t wait to see what is gonna happen when season starts but i think we fucked ourself with this pre-season, montembeault and primeau looked awfull in their last game, id argue dobes could steal the 1st spot if he continues playing like that, suzuki caufield and s’af played 1 game, how is everyone supposed to be ready on day 1?
Caufield-Suzuki-Slaf Newhook-Dach-Anderson Roy-Dvorak-Gally Pezzetta-Evans-Kapanen Extra's: ABB-Armia Matheson-Guhle Hutson-Savard Xhekaj-Mailloux Extra: Barron Montembeault Primeau Note: Struble was definetly better than Barron in the pre season I just would send him down because he doesn't need waivers.
Also I would give Kapanen like 5-10 games just to see how he does and then send him down.

This year, I don't want them in the mix. They have two first round picks for the next draft. Anderson, Armia and Gallagher are still in the team. Reinbacher is wounded. Demidov is not here yet. Florian is not here yet. They'll be in the mix next season, not this one hopefully. So two other great picks or trade wizardry and next year they begin to win.

@@owenbourdon7696 terrible take oh my as much as i love gallagher he is washed and having armia gallagher on the second line would make us the worst team in the league by a mile
We could just play against not a rival. Because majority of mtl’s preseason was against rivals so we could play against islanders penguins,etc thats could limit the big hit, scrum, and fight and prevent injury Nhl need to do something with the preseason
Heineman had Kapanen have had better camps than Roy. Heineman is also the oldest of the 3. I hope Heineman starts the season on that second or third line. So here's what I'm thinking. Susuki, Slaf, Caufield Dach, Newhook, Anderson Dvorak, Kapanen, Heineman, Evans, Pezzetta, Armia Gallagher I have no clue what pairings are decided on but I can see the following start the season Matheson, Savard, Xhekaj, Guhle, Struble, Hutson Sorry Barron but I just don't see much progression. If Anderson isn't doing much on that 2nd line after a few games, it's going to be a quick demotion and they will move up whoever is playing well. Could be Armia or Kapanen. Gallagher's going to have to get used to playing a bottom 6 role and go where there's a void. I know he gets paid a lot but he's just not producing like he used to.
@@nathantaillon1183 Yes. I hate to think about it but it looks like he's on the downside of his career. I don't know if he's always playing injured but he's not as productive as he once was. So he's definitely going to play a role on the Habs this season but they are going to stick him where they have a void. Look, I hope I'm wrong. I'm not saying that's where I want him to be. But if last season was a sign of things to come it didn't look good. He was healthier than the last 5 but his production was only 31 points and he was -24. Hey, maybe he has a bounce back season and that would be great but my gut tells me he's just not the player he once was.
I have seen very little to be hopeful however I sat back and thought the Habs have played terrible decisions have been terrible but 5 on 5 we have been close real close. Our special teams are bad and I know why w/o writing a book it looks like nobody has confidence in each other they all want to over play help when they should be worrying about their own coverage. Not enough SIMPLE decision making like gump it out dump it in and take as many shots on net as possible QUIT messing around with the puck.

Kapanen and Heineman will replace Laine and Roy. Those two showed me a lot of effort. Wah Wah needs to play hungrier. He needs a little more time in Laval. Hockey Junkie , I nominate you to break the news to Le Journal de Montreal .😁
@@antoniom4099 xhekaj redeemee himself alot last night i think he had a great game and deserves to be the 7th def at least and i think even if mailloux was underwelming compared to our expectation, i think it’s only due to stress and wanting to do good, he wasn’t flashy but he didn’t make any big mistakes like engstrom did,
@@antoniom4099 im really not convinced xhekaj has what it takes to be a foward sadly cause i agree with you it would have been a great solution to strubble taking his place, but i think the management team also tought about there is a reason why they don’t
I’ve been underwhelmed by Joshua Roy for awhile now. I just don’t see this top 6 potential that so many Habs fans claim to see. He has decent hands along with good vision and IQ but his overall speed and the pace that he plays at is nowhere near good enough to be a top 6 forward.
I just subscribed. Thought I was. My bad. As football gets gayer hockey seems to be getting a little manlier again. So I am removing football for more hockey 😂. Bedard just got into it. NHL dancing is different than NFL dancing. Besides, I’m French Canadian and Norwegian. My people aren’t in foozball.
If this is how the boys play to get or keep their roster spots, it’s going to be a lonnnnng sad season …. Again. I love Monty and Primeau, but I just don’t see Monty as a #1 goalie in the league. Kinda like Jaro Halak… great backup, but not stellar #1 numbers when he got the chance.
What a terrible game for Newhook, Roy line. I know It's just preseason but those turnovers were horrible. Only Arby was great. Even Heineman and Kapanen looked mediocre, but I might be wrong
Forwards line 1 CC Zuk Slaf Line 2 Newhook-Dach-Kapanen Anderson-Dvorak-Armia Xhekaj-Evans-Pezzetta Matheson-Guhle Hutson-Savard Struble-Xhekaj Trade Gally and Monty for a decent goalie
We looked BAD, all preseason, (thats not true, the first game or maybe two, looked ok). She is going to be another long season... I JUST started to get excited, for the first time in years, now that's totally gone again.
It’s just the preseason, most teams are icing mostly ahl rosters and the nhl’ers who are playing are just trying to warm up and not get injured. It’s kinda pointless to try to predict anything from these games

Lost me at two week break. Kills all momentum earned.
@RedPillBased The pre-season would start two weeks later. Not a two week break after the 4 games. I should have made that clearer.
veteran vs. veteran games would honestly lead to alot less injuries, alot more self-preservatuion going imo. alot of big injuries come from players looking to create a splash to earn their spot on a roster or PTO's getting a contract. 4 games max, 2 prospect/tryout vs. prospect/tryout and 2 veteran vs. veteran imo.

Usually senators hockey is like watching paint dry but they capitalized on every mistake last night .
Kappan stays I think Roy goes back to Laval ( he didn’t play well at all this PS)
Kapanen and Heineman will replace Laine and Roy. Those two showed me a lot of effort. Wah Wah needs to play hungrier. He needs a little more time in Laval. Hockey Junkie , I nominate you to break the news to Le Journal de Montreal .😁
Junkie, you said it best!
Heineman over Roy
Habs lineup is about as impressive as a Pontiac Fiero.
CC-Suzuki-Slaf
Newhook-Dach-Kapanen
Anderson-Dvorak-Gallagher
Xhekaj-Evans-Pezzetta
BB-Roy
Matheson-Guhle
Hutson-Savard
Struble-Engstrom
Barron
Montembault-Primeau
I don’t agree with engstrom and barron on that line up and maybee give dobes a tryout?
@@MAM11234 who would you place above them? Doves has been good, maybe?
@@antoniom4099 xhekaj redeemee himself alot last night i think he had a great game and deserves to be the 7th def at least and i think even if mailloux was underwelming compared to our expectation, i think it’s only due to stress and wanting to do good, he wasn’t flashy but he didn’t make any big mistakes like engstrom did,
@@MAM11234 I’d like to have Xhekaj in the lineup consistently. On D or on tge 4th line.
@@antoniom4099 im really not convinced xhekaj has what it takes to be a foward sadly cause i agree with you it would have been a great solution to strubble taking his place, but i think the management team also tought about there is a reason why they don’t
I’ve been underwhelmed by Joshua Roy for awhile now. I just don’t see this top 6 potential that so many Habs fans claim to see. He has decent hands along with good vision and IQ but his overall speed and the pace that he plays at is nowhere near good enough to be a top 6 forward.

My take from the preseason. None of the hopefuls stepped up in any meaningful way. That’s not a good sign.
Is Gally making too much to play in Laval?
I think his contract has a clause which doesn't allow him to be sent down
Him and Anderson could be a 3rd liner there
I just subscribed. Thought I was. My bad. As football gets gayer hockey seems to be getting a little manlier again. So I am removing football for more hockey 😂. Bedard just got into it. NHL dancing is different than NFL dancing. Besides, I’m French Canadian and Norwegian. My people aren’t in foozball.

If this is how the boys play to get or keep their roster spots, it’s going to be a lonnnnng sad season …. Again.
I love Monty and Primeau, but I just don’t see Monty as a #1 goalie in the league. Kinda like Jaro Halak… great backup, but not stellar #1 numbers when he got the chance.
biggest disappointments of the season Roy for habs and Cowan for the leafs.... both need to get sent back down
Under 1 day gang👇
Arber 3-0 😅 mid-season form
Dvo looks good, wonder if MTL claims Jacob Pelltier off waivers from Calgary and sends WaWa to Laval where he belongs
Caudfield - Suzi- Slaf ... Kapanen (!!!)- Dach - Newhook... Galhy - Dvorack - Armia ...Barré Boulet - Evans- Anderson .... D: Ghule Matheson.... Hutson Savar... Xerkhaj Struble... Monty .... my choise according to camp and Laine injury
What a terrible game for Newhook, Roy line. I know It's just preseason but those turnovers were horrible. Only Arby was great. Even Heineman and Kapanen looked mediocre, but I might be wrong
The good news is these Habs will get another high first round pick.
Dobes in net ??????????????????????????????????????
Buuuuuut first.

Trade Gally and Monty for a decent goalie
They should let Ottawa do their useless thing without getting into fights. Ottawa is gonna finish last again this year, that's my useless prediction.
The Canadians are such a joke, fighting without winning is just embarrassing and a disgraceful to the sport.
We looked BAD, all preseason, (thats not true, the first game or maybe two, looked ok). She is going to be another long season... I JUST started to get excited, for the first time in years, now that's totally gone again.
I was thinking the same thing. Dang
It’s just the preseason, most teams are icing mostly ahl rosters and the nhl’ers who are playing are just trying to warm up and not get injured. It’s kinda pointless to try to predict anything from these games
I am a Caps fan then a Canucks fan but man I like your channel. and if it was me I would put Arber on first line the kid is a stud.
