    Tricolore Mystery Bag

    Did anyone receive their Mystery Box yet? Did you get anything good?

    I asked Tricolore Sports if the bag was for men only but they told me it’s for men/women which is pretty confusing.

    Welcome to Carrier's territory!

    I wasn't kidding when I posted more than two weeks ago about getting a defensive player who can protect and stabilize goal-against percentage.

    Here's my earlier post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Habs/s/MP8dwH5cBD

    I do however have to lower my expectations about Carrier until I watch a few games with him in the lineup. He could be in the rotation with Greek god Struble. Carrier could be the player the Habs are looking for: a reliable, hard-working defensive defenseman. Small stature, yes, but he may have the heart of a lion... giving me Bouillon or Weaver vibes.

    Happy for Carrier to play for the red, white, and blue. I'll bet with that extra motivation, the team will soak in and win a few more games.

    Attitude of a Habs fan towards Leafs

    I live in Mtl since I came to North America and I cannot help cheering for the Habs. But seriously, I really dislike the attitude of some Habs fans who laugh at the fact that Leafs have not won a cup since 67 and only one series in 20 years. Come on seriously, Habs have not won a cup in 31 years, and 0 cup in a league of 25 teams and more. Better than Leafs still, but living in its past glory and thinking you are the best in the league with the majority of cups won 40 years ago is not a winner mentality. Even though Vegas only got one cup, they won it in their sixth year already, and made the final in their first season. If Habs organization can learn from Vegas they would do better. Not being a hater here, but there is definitely something wrong in the Habs organization and how the team is built since the Roy trade. If I don't laugh at Leafs I'm not a Habs fan? Why?

    Why doesn't Laine have an accent?

    Just curious. Wikipedia shows he lived in Finland until he was drafted by Winnipeg, yet he doesn't sound like other Finnish guys I've heard like Valterri Bottas.

    It is shameful that a basement team like the Canadiens do not have a single prospect at the world juniors this year.

    This shows just how bottom of the pack our amateur scouting team is. I’m surprised they were not overhauled when Hughes took over. 3 years in and we have drafted one potential game breaker forward + Hutson lol…Hage has a lot of development left to show where he will fit in.

    Are the Canadiens and their fans anti-"J"mites?

    First Jordan, then Justin. With rumors that Jake, Joel and Josh will be next. Hmm. Juraj, I wouldn't buy a house in Montreal, if I were you.

    I don’t see anything wrong with Kent Hughes visiting Ivan Demidov…

    I feel like people wake up in the morning and look for something to be angry about, ivan demidov is arguably our most important player going forward, he’s not being developed properly and some games is being played as the 13th forward. Kent is going there to make sure he’s getting the development he needs to be the best player possible. Just a reminder he used a top 5 pick to select demidov his job could be on the line if something goes wrong with demidov so of course he’s gonna make sure everything is alright with him.

    Habs 2C Next Season

    I came up with a few options when it comes to who the Habs are going to ice as their 2C next season, and wanted to get everybody's opinions on them.

    Option 1: Stick with Kirby

    This is probably the most likely option, and it may not be a bad one. That said, it isn't my favourite as of now considering Dach still hasn't found his game. By the end of the season it might be clearer on whether this is the right course of action.

    Option 2: Trevor Zegras

    I know, everybody always talks about Trevor Zegras... But he is legitimately one of the 3 trade candidates that I think actually make sense. Maybe at the draft the Habs don't have a player they really want, and they pull off Mailloux + mid 1st/late 1st/early 2nd for Zegras (not all of the draft picks just one of the options). Zegras isn't my favourite trade candidate (in fact he's probably my least favourite), but a line of Caufield-Zegras-Demidov would be incredibly fun to watch.

    Option 3: Dylan Cozens

    This is probably the most realistic trade option given how Buffalo has been playing. I am a big fan of Cozens, he's super competitive and even has the nickname "the workhorse from Whitehorse". The only downside is like all of our current centers he also shoots right. I'm not even going to try to guess what Kevyn Adams would want in return, that's a fools errand... It could be soon to be UFA Jake Evans 1 for 1 or the same ask as Zegras, a late 1st and Mailloux. It seems like every player who goes to the Sabres immediately gets worse and every player who leaves the Sabres immediately gets better. Why not get in on the action?

    Option 4: Marco Rossi

    The Wild allegedly don't see Marco Rossi as a fit in their long term plans. Why? I have absolutely no idea. Maybe it's because he's 5'9". Either way, his entry level contract is expiring this season so if he's not part of their long term plans... Maybe this offseason is the time to inquire about him. I think Rossi is a better player than Zegras and Cozens: he's almost a PPG player so far in only his 2nd NHL season. He's defensively responsible and has some of the best hand-eye in the league. Plus, with all the time he's spent with Kaprizov he already has a headstart on his playing with Demidov training. Him and Reinbacher even have an Austrian connection to boot! If the Habs end up with the 5th overall pick again, I would trade it straight up for Rossi. The only guys I would rather have over him this draft are Hagens, Schaefer, Misa, and Martone. Sure, there are lots of other guys with the potential to end up better than Rossi, but they could end up as busts too. Maybe Minnesota will be really high on a guy like McQueen and they'll be down to bargain. Laine-Rossi-Demidov would go hard, and allow the 1st line to stay intact.

    So, what do you guys think of all of these options? Which ones do you like the most, and how much time does Dach have to find his game before you think the Habs should look at acquiring a 2C?

    I've been on the search for a seat from the Montreal Forum for awhile and I'm curious. I very rarely see any other stuff from the forum... I almost never see signs or anything else that was auctioned off that day.
