He's the REAL wildcard!
Me too🤣🤣🤣🤣

Our best 18 years old prospect for sure.
Mario Gretzky Armia
Love finding the hockey junkie references everywhere
At the prospects showcase, Lane Hutson at one time was deking around 3 guys at once and even deked around his own teammate when he got in his way. He was really moving
Most intriguing to me is Reinbacher, everyone talks about Hutson & Mailloux or maybe Engström from that up coming D core after the first of those prospects games against basically the Toronto Marlies. But it's like every commentator is in awe of Hutson and forgets the importance to defend well with this team that allowed so many goals the past seasons.
David showed in that camp he's the better Defender of them all.
I agree theirs a reason he got picked 5th overall and it’s not because he’s flashy or really good offensively but because he’s a guy that can defend well and eats lot of minutes on the right D spot witch is hard to get in todays NHL. ( he’s a guy you could trust when were leading by 1 goal in the 3rd period with 2 min left and you know he’s gonna defend well against any teams top line players. And also on the penalty killl ) He’s a good breakout passer and still has offensive skills that still haven’t been shown much if you ask me he’d be a good pair with a guy like Hutson on our first line in the future !! In the playoffs people will realize how important he is. I see him as a Andrei Markov type of defender and us habs fans know how useful he was.
@@saverioL1998 If Reinbacher and Hutson are anything like Markov and Subban we're in for some fun years ahead
I think a Reinbacher Hutson pairing is the future #1 pairing on this team. Reinbacher is the perfectly built D man, great size, offensive upside, great vision. Combine that with Hutson and all of a sudden you have a d pairing like Makar and Toews or Hughes and Hronek. That offensive but defensive 1, 2 punch.
@@crazeinthedark Could be. I found it interesting Reinbacher got paired most of the time with Engström who is the other very mobile lefty with great capacity to create smart offensive plays in this lineup. We also saw a glimpse of that pairing when Mailloux got that 10 + 2 after stupidly over commiting to defending Hutson (while Thorpe was mature enough to let go after having been the first to come to the rescue). And it lead to a very interesting zone exit & a really good power play which was very well defended by those experienced Marlies.
David is the better defender, but he still has many months of AHL before he’s even ready to make an appearance and probably 2 years before he’s ready to be a difference maker. Lane can make an impact now due to his offensive game, so he’s going to be relevant first, however in 2-3 years time they will probably be seen as similar value in terms of overall game impact, it will just take David longer to get there.
Life long habs fan here. I’ve never been more excited for a season in my life. It seems like we finally have everyone in their chair and even if it does not work we always have plan B players. For example Roy instead of newhook or just at defense with how many d-man they have. Their place is not locked except for the top3. Which means we could we see plenty of d-man get a shot in the big league this year. Of course I expect it to be Guhle, Matheson, Savard, xhekaj and Barron especially since the last two have to go through waivers. There’s gonna be a rotation on the last d-pairing and it’ll be training camp that will determine who will be the 6-7th d-man to follow the team. I would not be surprised to see Hutson have a full season in the NHL but remember, struble, Mailloux, Engstrom AND Reinbacher will want a shot in the big league. I do think tho that Engstrom and Reinbacher are going to be in the AHL more often then the others since they’ve just arrived in North America with smaller rinks. Struble Mailloux and Hutson would be my guess has players that will play this year in the big league since they all played a couple games and are used to NA rinks and play style. Do not forget injuries too. The rocket will also be thrilling to watch this year with all those prospects.
Lol
Prepare to be disappointed
If this is your second or third year watching hockey then I agree it's the most exciting they've ever been. Otherwise..... lmao
Love your habs content
pfp checks out
Le Tricolore 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🔥🔥🗣🔥
I'm convinced the 3-goalie scenario drastically hurt the habs overall. I think they expected to move Allen ALOT earlier in the year. Platooning Monty and Primeau (barring injuries) will give both a rhythm that will turn more of those 1-goal losses, into wins. Can't wait for the new season.
I'm a Winnipeg kid going to Montreal/Toronto for my wedding anniversary with my wife. Can't wait to see Laine in the Habs bleu, rouge et blanche!
Happy anniversary !
Remember when you Winnipeg fans used to chant “Laine’s better!!” referring to Laine being better than Austin Matthews? That aged like cows milk eh? 😃
Hutson showing up this season will be the biggest boon to the season!
SUPER BIASED FAN HERE......but i gotta say this team has got me more then excited! Slaf, Dach, Caufield, Suzuki, Hudson, Laine, Newhook......hell even Demidov. Thats no joke of a core to build around. Been watching every habs game since i was a kid and at 39 now, this is the most promise to come ive ever seen. Time will tell but between the pipes is where im most nervous about. Really intrigued on what will happen over the next 3-4 years. Smells good, Looks good but can still possibly be shit lol we'll see! but im pumped for sure!
Three interesting story lines:
A) finally a productive second line?
B) big improvement in powerplay ?
C) a full season of Kirby Dach ?
I really want to see full season from Laine. Anything 25+ sounds good but what i want to see is him pushing the rest of the guys forward. Laine is beast when he is on and i hope Montreal can use his assets well. I think Montreal is still 1-2 years away from playoffs but prehaps after this season they have good group of guys welded together playing like they did on later parts of the year
I honestly think they could push a wild card spot this year, it's mostly gonna hinge on that young d core, monty is solid enough to give the boys a chance to win but if the d leaves him exposed on 3 on 1s as oftain as they did last year it won't be good. Lots of youth, and these kids like to engage off the blue line.
Honestly it's hard to pick just one guy but Slaf is my most exciting player going in. The guy seems so confident, I hope he keeps it up.
I'm really exited about the whole team. Being from Sherbrooke Qc and also a Phoenix fan, I really hope Roy gets a good season. He was really good at the junior level. Great content. keep up the great videos coming! 😀👍
Merci ! Great vid ! All the best with this season . Will be watching you from Denver soon
I couldn't ask for a better fit to this team than Laine, size, age, term/contract in a player 'renewed' and ready to play a big role in a market that will support him with thunderous applause. The Habs could be a shockingly good team, with 5 guys looking to get new contracts, a good young core and a pile of prospects coming or going in trades. Then there's Demidov...... great synopsis JH.
I think these guys have great potential if they can stay healthy. If they play well they can definitely make a wild card spot.
Super excited to see Super Freak Slafcocksky next season. Love the guy on and off the ice, solid rock hard character.
it seems not only his character is rock solid hard
Can't wait for the season to start!!!
Patrik Laine gets a good season people will go nuts over this guy
Nice video. Lots of people sleeping on the Habs this year, they will surprise… as long as they are not massacred by injuries… again. 😕
When Demidov and Hage ate in we have 3 very dangerous lines
Not a single above average line on the squad
@@demarcdegasol Wdym? Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky is one of the best point producing lines in the NHL.
ima just say it you deserve 200k subs or more i love watching your vids, truly keep up the good work man cant wait for the habs this year Go Habs!
After watching the prospect games, I now fully believe in Lane Hutson hitting 50+ points this season. He could even take over some of Matheson's duties offensively for all we know. I can see him being right up there with Hughes and Makar which is wild but the things he's doing is like no other
Get Dach healthy and that kids gonna be a huge asset to this team, played against him in bantam a couple times back in the day
I will make 3 predictions for the Habs this year:
1- Laine will score around 35 goals and 60 points.
2- The Habs will make the play-offs with 2 games remaining in the season.
3- Now, that's where it gets interesting. Montembault will lose his starting job to Primeau. That move, after around 35 games, will ensure the play-off spot.
I can't wait for this season to begin
Just subbed! Great videos, a buddy of mine showed me your account... I'd like to see Kirby Dach stay healthy this season, if he does that it'll be a huge asset!
Le Tricolor will be a joy to watch in the next few seasons
My pronunication: Joshua Roy
The actual pronunciation: jooshwaaarwyaaa
I think we will see a bit of a step back from the top line, as it’s a known commodity now. Laine has to be the most intriguing because they’ve essentially added him AND Dach to the second line and that could be a scary good line if the chemistry happens. Also, having Anderson and Gallagher slide down the lineup may mean they face worse opposition and catch fire as well. Really three good lines here and the offense should be fun to watch. The defence will take some overlooking for a couple more years until these guys develop a little. But should be a strength in a couple years. I predict playoffs for this team!
With healthy Laine, Hutson, Dach, Newhook, this team should really be demanding more respect. Could be significantly better this season. Adding Lane and Laine to powerplay is dangerous for a team that had around 30 1-goal games last season. Not saying they'll be President's trophy winners, but I think they are infinitely better this year than last, provided they stay healthy...
More habs svp. So many storylines there.
Why was Rene Bourque in this ?? 😂😂
Wondered the same
Im pretty excited about Joshua Roy. I think he will be a good middle 6 guy but i can't wait to see if he can push for some time on the 2nd line
Honestly in a year or two this team will be super scary. The panthers and leafs will be good for at least 4 more years but Boston and Tampa are on the back end of their dynasties. This will be fun to watch play out.
All the fans want is improvement. We still have a LOT of picks next draft, so not finishing high, BUT showing improvement, is a win win.
to me the 3 important stories will be the laine/slaf mix since their game are kinda similar with similar body types, one is trying to get his old superstar self, ones developing into one. In my mind, Joshua Roy can steal newhook's spot, but I feel like a smart player like him is needed on the 3rd. Lastly, will Cole Caufield be that superstar we're waiting to have, under or 30 goals. Really a highly anticipated season to watch since 2013-2014
Ton francais est très bon mon ami
J’pense y est Quebecois
as a cats fan, lowkey can see this roster making the playoffs over the sens/sabers and MAYBE wings
Biggest two things not talked about are the HC and Vinny who are going to shape all this young talent. They're a couple years behind Detroit, but will be an offencive force in a few years
The line of Newhook - Dach - Laine would be the 1st line on many other teams in the league. The question will be, can the 3rd and 4th lines eat enough minutes without giving away games. The top 6 are excellent.
Hot take: Habs grab a wild card spot and “no one could have predicted this!!!”
Laine is going to be locked in all year
I think roy will stay on the second line with laine and dach so that newy could centre that third line. If dach stays healthy it’ll help the top 9 so much
how come everyone just plain forgets about Mike Matheson? 60+pt defenseman who is one of THE best skaters in the league?
I wouldn't be surprised by a rebound year by josh anderson. He stay all summer long in montreal and train to find back is game
Slaf and Hutson for me
as a leafs fan i think a little bump in net for montreal could put them in a playoff spot.
I met Jordan Harris the other day
Classy changing the name.
Hutson.
Its the fact that so many people are laughing at habs fans for the hype but they havent even watched him play.
Forget the rookie camp.
He was world's better than everyone in College, he was actually too good IQ wise and the other College players couldnt understand his vision.
NHL caliber players will really complement his style of play and you saw that a bit in the two games vs the Wings last season where he had little playing time and PP time but still produced 2 points.
I'm hesitant to say this because I don't want it to come back and bite me, but I actually do look forward to Montreal being competitive again and revitalizing the rivalry between Toronto again. Aside from that one year the Leafs absolutely choked against them, they've been all but mediocre. But I've had enough of the Boston rivalry, I'm ready for them to go back to nonexistent and then Montreal and Ottawa returning to competing for the top of the Atlantic again and restoking the fire of rivalry with Toronto. Would be fun, as both of their teams are young and interesting to watch.
really looking forward to Jacob Fowler in a few years
Most intriguing team for sure. Most impactful story/position is Goalie, but headlines will definitely follow Laine. As a westerner, it's hard to say this, but the NHL is better when the Habs are successful (imho).
Facts. The NHL is just simply better when any of the original 6 teams are good. That’s why I would love to see Detroit get into the playoffs this season
@@OilersSnapshots Yeahhh! Also a very intriguing team! They were amazing down the stretch. Again, it's the same position dogging both teams -- goalie! They would've easily made the playoffs last season if one of the goalies plays just a bit better.
last in Atlantic calling it right now
If Primeau was not a nepo baby, he'd be Fucale by now. Media shits on Laine in CBJ and he's been called lazy and a disaster but he's on a similar ppg pace as Suzuki was last year. Does that mean he's great or do we overhype Suzuki?
Suzuki is basically Larkin. I'd say average as a 1C if we look at the position as they are usually classed around 15ish in top centre lists in the league. that means about half the league as a better 1C.
The same articles that say Habs got best prospects had Detroit and LA on top around 5 years ago and after 5 years , they're a wild card team. Maybe 2-3 years away from being contenders consistently and that's a long time. So that sort of timeframe is actually no different than the Bergevin era when it comes to success. Once upon a time , Zadina was the "can't miss prospect who is NHL ready" like Demidov and some others are being hyped right now.
If everything works out with our prospects starting this year, which is a rare thing, then we wont be getting high picks anymore and this will have to be it. Signing good UFA isn't something that happens often in the 514 due to taxes and media. I doubt these guys have what it takes to become contenders.
Habs did say they would focus on PR way more towards the end of the bergy era. I think we're all being sold that PR narrative and all of these channels are shills. Workign with Habs PR to get a few scraps along the way. Habs make more money now in one season that they did for a whole dynasty. Business is going good. Saying stuff like " we wanna win" is nothing but PR lol.
Was that Rene Borque lol 1:15
2nd line should be: Roy - Dach - Laine
c'est le tricolor!
@JonathanHawkey Where do you get your depth chart images?
Do the coyotes next
I do😅espect Montreal will make the playoffs
Lane Hutson rookie season
Can I get a team preview on the Sens, please
Mailloux is ready
Do you speak French to say le tricolore and Joshua Roy so perfectly?
Yes he does perfectly. Full bilingual
@@alainboulanger3558 that explains it
If Laine live up to the hype they're not going for a cup run but I'll be the last one to be surprised if they make the playoffs.
Last year they lost 30 games by 1 goal.. Laine can score 40+ in a good season and it's more than just the stats.. Him and Dach being present mean the 1st line will get to breathe a bit better on the ice.
Nobody coming to Montreal for free wins this year...
Can we please talk about the wild
Monty and Primeau are both backup goalies, and even sharing the workload, we're still guaranteed to be giving up an average of about 3 goals a game, which just isn't good enough to be a playoff team. I don't know what Hughes needs to do to bring a proper starter to Montreal, but if there's any GM in the league that can do it, it's him. Hopefully sooner than later, because I don't want to waste our top line's best years with garbage goalies.
Ngl I'm kind of excited to see primeau this year. Check out his year end stats for last season, dude played well.
@@matthewerskine918 I can't say I agree with that. His SV% is passable, but his GAA is horrible, especially in the second half of the season. In just his last 10 games, he let in 4 or more goals in half of them. He showed some brilliance too, but streaky isn't what you want in a goalie when play like that is a guaranteed first round exit in the playoffs.
@CarbonatedTurtle the more important aspect with me is in terms of his development. I agree with u that his gaa was not that good but at the same time our defense was horrible (obv because the vast majority are extremely young and need to develop). Honestly I'm excited to see how well this season goes with the improvements from our goalies and defense.
Buffalo 😂🤣😂, Not concerned about them in the slightest!
Do the Toilet Seats have a goalie this year? Laine will score on the PP but he's a liability otherwise.
Patches is definitely scoring on the Habs on Opening Night for The Leafs and it will be hilarious when it happens. Also, Captain Matty is getting the common opening night Matty Hatty.
Meanwhile, both Slaf and Huston will get 2 goals and Suzuki, the best captain of both team, will also get a goal. 5-4 Montreal win.
As a Habs fan, Toronto will have a waaaaaaay better regular season than the Habs - obviously. The Leafs Cup Window is NOW. The Habs cup window STARTS to open in 2 seasons, so we're expected to miss the playoffs.
However, as usual, EVERYONE KNOWS that the LEafs will choke in the playoffs. Great regular season team - awful in the playoffs.
Just like when the Habs eliminated the Leafs in 2021.
Winning the Cup is what counts.
The fact the habs are doing a 1a 1b and so are the leafs that’s embarrassing as a leafs lol
I hope you talk about the Bruins
I feel like the rebuild excuse is long over. they should make the playoffs. they are at the cap ceiling.
😊
Being a Habs fan has gotta be boring...
Instead of beffing with someone I had to see this 🗿
If this team stays healthy, we will find out how intelligent MSL is. And the addition of Laine is a wlld-card. No other teams will be able to ignore him, and when they pay attention, that frees up other Habs we know can score.
0-2 vs leafs already 🥱
Notice how nobody, and I mean nobody, is excited about Reinbacher because he blows
It’s a shame that reinbacher is already a dirty player
how
@@baileysmith132 did u not see the hit he made on leafs prospect Minten sorry I’m a habs fan and that was dirty we need to either tell him he can’t be making those dirty hits or he’s gonna get targetrd
@@turboj7211 one hit doesnt make a guy dirty
Did you see the game? He didnt hit him very hard... and it was done after Minten took out Hutson.
@@turboj7211he barely hit him leafs prospesct just lost his footing at end
Kinda funny to think the Habs lost both prospect games despite being at the bottom of the league for the last few years (which are supposed to give you better picks) to the Leafs who've made the playoffs over the last few years Just saying.
Braindead take, Hage and Demidov not there, goalie injured before camp. Only D prospects we're there 😂
there was literally only two prospects there...
gallager said it himself theres literally only two guys in this room who gonna make the team. and hes not wrong.
@marcbabineau6001 The amount of people not getting a joke is kinda funny. I know they had lots of Missing prospects, I'm a Leaf fan, and this was for my cousin (who's a Habs fan) and we tease each other about our teams, so I posted it here🤦🏼♂️
Yeah making the playoffs and choking every year must be fun eh ?
I'd like to see Lane Hutson play an entire season. I think he's got a future.
Primeau and Montembeault will basically fight for the starter spot. My guess is that, initially, MT will have the 1A, but if he doesn't cut it, they will give Primeau more chances, and whoever wins, gets the starts, until they lose, and over and over.
Another year in the gutter.
Columbus?
laine?
@@JoshuaRichardHancock what about him
