Montreal Canadiens
- Thread starter Fun For All
- Start date
They'll have to go on a run like they did in December/early January. Not impossible but they'll also need some help from the teams ahead of them loosing games. Regardless of whether or not they make the playoffs I'm happy with this season. The team is showing they have a good core and having Demidov coming in next year will be a massive help
I'm cheering for the Habs to make the playoffs, I'm cheering for all Canadain teams to make the playoffs. It's time to bring Lord Stanley home where it belongs.
I cheer for all Canadian teams not named the Toronto Maple Leafs to crap out ASAP.
I don't think they will do much of anything. If anything they might try to move Evans, Armia or Dvorak. Maybe Anderson but I hope they do nothing, keep the team together and see if they can make the push into the playoffs
I’m not…if the Montreal Canadiens were playing the Taliban I’d cheer for the Taliban.

Owen Beck is looking like he could take Dach's place for now. Either way I'm not overly concerned. I'm looking towards next seasonCanadiens' Dach out for season with knee injury

Doesn't really impact their chances as Dach has been such hot garbage this year.. I hope he gets it back next year, but this year was just a lost season for him... 22 points in 57 games, and a staggering -29, way worse taan anybody else on the team.Canadiens' Dach out for season with knee injury

My guess is they hold still -- neither sell or buy, Perhaps they do a "hockey trade" of a depth guy with another team where each team is able to balance their roster a bit better.
I had written them off as a non playoff team a week or two ago.... expected them to deal 3 players... Armia, Evans, Savard.... you were going to get maybe a 2+3+3 for the 3 guys.
But things have now changed - 5 wins in a row and now only 1 point out of a playoff spot. They have enough 2nd and 3rd rounders, and B level prospects, that not getting a few more out of this deadline is not a big deal.
Carrier and Guhle have been an amazing second pair. It's a shame Guhle is unlikely to be back this season but Struble has really rose to the occasion and played quite well.
The Habs signed pending FA Jake Evans (3rd/4th line C) - the main pending FA that fits their timeline. He was perhaps their most valuable asset at the deadline, so that clears up one big item.
As for the others -- Savard, Armia, Dvorak.... I think it depends on what they do tonight. If they win tonight in Edmonton, I think they keep them all. If they lose and fall 3 points behind they probably move 1 or 2 of them. None of them are going to get more than a 3rd (if that)

Look at the trades that have happened so far with other teams, Savard and Armia could absolutely get a first or second round pick...perhaps a top tier prospect. Dvorak not so much. Regardless I don't think any of them are moving today.
They weren't getting firsts for either. Maybe a second for Savard as the D crop available is shallow .... Armia no more than a 3rd as he is a tier below someone like Tanev who just went for a second.
