also an option. I guess it depends on what their objective for next season will be. keep the same plan, develop players? or fastforward the rebuild a little bit?
we'll know with the summer moves.

cccp, good morning!

They're at least as good as Dvorak has been for the Habs if you remove the past 2 months.

The focus should be on upgrading the 2nd line center. If they can, newhook and Evans can pivot the bottom 6

Yes, thus why they won't need Dvorak anymore.

They will if they can’t upgrade.

I wouldn’t touch that line going into the next season

the other question is do you offer 2y deals to Dvorak and Armia?

I have a feeling they will keep one of the 2 only and for PK

Yeah, it's tempting to keep the Dvorak line together considering the success they've had.

I think Kent will make his move for the 2C at the draft and if it fails, Dvorak could become an option again on a short term contract.

I think it will depend also on what would be going the other way

If you trade Newhook as an example, might need to resign Dvo

Lots of maybes, should be an interesting draft

I'd keep Dvorak in that case, centers are harder to find. Plus he's one of the league's best faceoff guy

Even if they can't land a good 2C, it would just mean another rebuild season and at this point I'd rather see a young guy than Dvorak...

Alright, we can keep him...(frank) you guys.

Would be nice if they could trade for Ryan O'Reilly.

Yes. Unless he’s old and broken?

it all depends on their evaluation of the youngster

I don't see it for Kapanen, I think Beck could be NHL ready however

Are they sending anybody down for the AHL playoffs?

Probably Kapanen.

mash, come on.

snots, you too.

- Xizord

the problem with Beck and Kapanen is that they are kind of a Evans 2.0
how many of these do you need?
maybe one in case of injuries but certainly not 2.
wouldn't be surprised if one is traded this summer with a D and/or a goalie.

the other question is do you offer 2y deals to Dvorak and Armia?

We need to have couple of spots to promote guys in Laval…. Cheap labor…
