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.

Primeau will either be the #2 in MTL or will be traded, he won't pass through waiver again.

I say they trade him with Fowler needing playing time in Laval next season

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

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

I think this will all be dictated by whom they can either sign as UFA, trade for or even offer sheet…. We don’t talk about that much but an offer sheet is also possible…

also my guess yes. I think Dobes will second Monty.
so Kapanen, Primeau, Mailloux... maybe Newhook, maybe one of Struble/wifi

I also think Newhook will be moved.

Hopefully HuGo are done with the reclamation projects, it has not worked so far

I would not discard Mailloux too fast…

Reindeer is often broken and Savard is gone…

I see more Arber being traded or tried on the 4th where he would be easier to have him playing 8 minutes per game.

He was playing on the wing in the juniors when he started…

oh I would LOVE that. been advocating for that for over a year. I dream of a 4th line
wifi Evans wifi jr
if he fights you still have your 6 dmen.
plus if you have an injury to a dman during a game you can always bring wifi back on the blue line.

Best forward in the neutral zone to move the puck. I’d keep him on a checking line. Decent insurance policy

I think Beck as the making of a winner and very useful bottom 6 if he develops !

How many chances did Newhook miss from the slot this past 2 months, so frustrating.

Can you share any intel sustaining your point?

But I still think he has more value in a trade…

You put him with our 2 1st rounder and you can fetch a decent return…. From a team who would like to rebuild and that value guys like Arber….

the problem with Newhook is that he's not good enough to play top6 (can't finish).
some say keep him in a checking role. well, he's not big, doesn't really bring any grit, not good on faceoffs... so difficult to slot in a defensive role.

what do you do with him?
you trade his ass.
unless you hope he can magically find a touch around the net.
