I want to thank you Jesse for fixing your audio! You were recently sounding as though you were in an echo chamber and I was riding your ass for it. I'm super pumped to listen to you without any audio annoyances. Thanks Jesse!
Marc Dumont is ultra woke and canceled Mailloux. I will take Alain Chainey’s opinion on Mailloux over Marc’s any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Alain loves his upside, top defenceman for the Habs.
Dunno about this whole 'woke'/'anti-woke' BS that seems to surround practically everything recently, but besides that.... For everyone a bit too deep for comfort in the HuGo cult, remember who drafted Mailloux...along with Caufield, Roy, Guhle, Kapanen, Struble, Dobes, etc in his last 2-3 years in the organization. 😉
@just I agree! Alain is a hockey genius and all Habs fans should listen to what he had to say on Tony's podcast. He says Mailloux is a can't miss prospect so that is good enough for me. My impression was that Alain considers Mailloux to be at least a 2nd pairing defenceman.
Just realized we got lots of potential guys who can play both center or wing and that's a good thing. Especially if Beck and Hage can too, don't see why not but I haven't personally seen them play so 🤔 Dach/Newhook/Roy/RHP?/F.Xhekaj/Mesar/Beck?/Hage?
Lmfao Mailoux had a 30 game stretch in the ahl where he led the league in scoring and he finisjed 3rd in laval scoring as a 20yr old that missed 2 yrs of development , and his offence is not even close to his best attribute
He should be. But its like they're all pretending he doesn't exist. Because something something he deserves to be canceled and he deserves to be shamed for all eternity or something. They're the "better people" we keep hearing about.
For me Reinbacher is the Levshunov of this year's draft. About the same size, right handed, mobile dman, all around player. NHL teams salivate on big right handed mobile dmen, in recent years Jiricek, Reinbacher, Levshunov all went super high at the draft, maybe not the "best player available" at the draft, but this is the profil NHL teams really like.
Kaliyev is the 1 I've always wanted. He is the biggest of anyone I have heard mentioned in trade rumors and he should be the cheapest to get. i.e. Necas, Zegras, etc would cost a lot more. Plus, he speaks the same language as Demidov - so he could help translate and interpret if he doesn't understand something.
Reinbacher is ahead of any of the Habs youngsters as a prospect. He will have a year in Laval to develop…then watch out. Logan M. Will be high on the list as well. Hutson needs time in Laval to get used to the men’s pro game.
Agree, Reinbacher is younger than the other defense prospects, has great size and skating and without doubt a potential top pairing. He was 19 years old and was expected to be the work horse on the worst team in the top Swiss league, comparable to the AHL. I have him over Hutson in potential simply because Hutson’s size will ultimately affect his defensive abilities. He won’t be clearing that crease like Reinbacher when it comes to playoff hockey.
Kaliyev could be a great fit on a cheap 2 year deal worth < 1.2M AAV. Low risk with the potential to grow into a bigger role under MSL. Anderson (50% Retained) > Kaliyev + 3rd (2026) 2024/25 Slafkovsky - Suzuki - Caufield Kaliyev - Dach - Newhook Armia - Dvorak - Roy 2025/26 Slafkovsky - Suzuki - Demidov Caufield - Dach - Newhook Kaliyev - Beck - Roy
Logan is the most underrated and disrespected prospect in the Montreal system , big shot puts up points, plays physically, sounds like Sheldon souray or Ed jovinoski like ceiling to me .
Don't forget, before the 'scandal' happened Mailloux was a projected top 10/12 pick. To go against the grain and nab him at 31st overall was a gutsy and wise move by Bergevin. May have contributed to him losing his job, but may also be the best parting gift any GM ever gave his team!!!
Things I would add to our prospect pool; 1- Luka Radevojivic (offensive RD) 2- Jack Ivankovic (elite Goalie) 3- Big fourth line center We might be fine with what we already have but these would good insurance policies
Low key, need to stop getting so hyped for all the prospects, especially the goalies. A couple of years ago, everyone was nuts for Primeau, it’s always the new shiny toy. This is a big year for a lot of the young guys, especially Monty & Prime.
hhhm idk how does the khl going away from iihf wich is international governing body, and now interacting more with Ministry of sports (I suppose its the rusian ministry of sports) make it more independent from russia? Like its the exact opposite right, now its more integrated into russia and russiian politics if anything should have more control in it now so like? idk am I missing something?

Ever wonder why Russian players sign KHL contracts that run 1/2 years past their draft year? I say it's on purpose for the KHL team to receive a buy out
@yannik9341 Has more to do with the KHL wanting to keep their players. If someone wants those players then they will have to buy out the contract. It saves these teams money and allows them to recupe costs invested in players.
@@evancodd6739 yes, they would love to keep the players forevwr. So why don't they give them longer deals. The player doesn't want to play and yet still signs. You think Mitchkov really wanted to stay in the KHL until 20? It's a wink wink contract for the buyout money.
@yannik9341 No its more strong arming from the clubs. These types of players are what makes them money. They try to lock them in long term and if someone wants them then they have to pay. Otherwise these clubs lose money from attendance etc. There's a reason why other leagues have agreements with the NHL so they don't lose players that bring in money for nothing. You are mistaking the order is all. They want to keep their money makers if they can. If the player really wants to leave then the buyout happens. If not they keep these young stars and make bank on them. Don't confuse the end result as being the main reason it happens because it's not. It's only a part of it and it's the end game part lol.
sooo true i have lived in sc for 23 years and whenever i talk about hockey i,m like yeah its a religion our second amendment is the habs have to win lol
Hi, all Habs, fans! I was just on my way out to catch the bus for groceries. Then this notification popped up. All I have time to say is I can’t have Demidov come before Gally either gets traded or retires. In all the video clips I’ve seen of Demidov, he was wearing the number 11. Gally’s number. I want Demidov to lace up with the number 11 one second after Gally makes whatever announcement. And, no I’m not throwing my guy under the bus. I want him to get traded to a team that’s best suited for his style of play. Go #11 Go!! 😂🥳
I like your thoughts and your call on that George!! Deep respects to Gally for all he has done for this team for the past decade. And as a 5th round pick, too! There aren't too many players who get picked that late and yet are so impactful for so long.
I was thinking about this the other day...and started investigating it a bit before I needed to go for a hike with my puppo, and try to find my missing cat. Both accomplished, happily! But it might be fun for you guys to to do a video about *best* draft selections over the past 10 years. Round-by-round, if you see what I mean? So...who does your amazing Habs Digest community think is our *best* 1st-round pick over that time...and best 2nd-round, 3rd-round, 4th-round etc.? Could be fun maybe?
@@tonylloy327 Hi, Tony! I think that’s a great idea. You should post this message again tonight. I don’t think the guys are going to see it here. I’m happy you had a nice walk with your puppo & found your cat. I miss my pitbull & my cat. Have a great day, buddy! 😂👊🏼
REIENBACHER- ELITE in shuting those elite players along with Guile .on the pk1 with Owen Beck on the face off circle. Even Slafzilla would be awesome on dominating the pk kill .😊😊😊
Small or not, the guy was named captain of his team in arguably the 2nd best hockey league in the world at the age of 20 and is currently listed at 6'0.

@@stevefowler4427 lol, Logan hasn't made the team yet. So you just named one large Blueliner with balls, congrats. Harris or Struble will be traded, so one creampuff could be rid of. Savard is a wussie, Hutson a smurf, hasn't played yet, who knows what Reinbacher is going to do, hasn't impressed anyone yet in the AHL.
It's Hutson. How would you know he's not elite? Before you start talking defensively etc, he is projected as an offensive dman. He's already elite at what he does. The two game sample last year showed he has NHL skills already. He's never gonna be a weber on defense. He won't be expected to be a weber either.

Give jacob fowler time and i think he will make the elite tier list eventually, he is improving getting better and stronger.

Bogdan baby!, He said he’s coming over
Hell yes
Mailloux should be in that tier 2 group
He is the best defenseman in the entire Habs organization ...
He should be. But its like they're all pretending he doesn't exist. Because something something he deserves to be canceled and he deserves to be shamed for all eternity or something. They're the "better people" we keep hearing about.

@@HughJazz38 Well said! I agree with you both on all points But don't discount Joshua Roy. I have a great feeling about him.
@@tonylloy327 Yes, I was actually just rating the defense prospects, because Demidov is superstar potential. And I like Roy as well.
Would Kaliyev for Dvorak with retention work? Anderson/Gally retention to extreme? Otherwise I don't know how he fits
How do we unload 4 of the bottom 6
With time,dvorak armia Evans and pezz all have expiring contracts end of 24/25
Mailloux is going to turn heads when he gets to the NHL. In the meantime, he has unfortunately an uphill climb to get there. But this kid is talented.
If Tier 2 is just making the N, you can add Bogdan, Mailloux, Xhekaj jr, Fowler and Mesar.
I'd give a 2nd max for Kaliyev
I was second but I was feeling even more generous
No to Kaliyev yes to Ehlers
Kaliyev could be a great fit on a cheap 2 year deal worth < 1.2M AAV.
Low risk with the potential to grow into a bigger role under MSL.
Anderson (50% Retained) > Kaliyev + 3rd (2026)
2024/25
Slafkovsky - Suzuki - Caufield
Kaliyev - Dach - Newhook
Armia - Dvorak - Roy
2025/26
Slafkovsky - Suzuki - Demidov
Caufield - Dach - Newhook
Kaliyev - Beck - Roy
This reminds me when we had Theodore and Vokoun coming up at the same time. One of them of course had to go.
Great eppy
Kaliyev is worth it. 11 min ice time…in that system.. That is a chance I would definitely take.
Bounce back season for Anderson?
On the same page - the future is now - Time to distill the bassinet a bit and get rid of those veteran contracts
MAKE SOME ROOM Kent..........
Logan is the most underrated and disrespected prospect in the Montreal system , big shot puts up points, plays physically, sounds like Sheldon souray or Ed jovinoski like ceiling to me .
Am I crazy or was mailloux better then Hutson in the habs last game, might even say one of the best defenseman on the ice
mailloux has better defensive ability for sure and has soft hands of a foward too.

Owen Beck is the only one I'm not sure about. Sad that Mesar isn't there but I don't think he'll ever make the team.
Things I would add to our prospect pool; 1- Luka Radevojivic (offensive RD)
2- Jack Ivankovic (elite Goalie)
3- Big fourth line center
