Hutson, as of now is who I'm most hyped for. He has been a monster at every level and he played unreal against a Detroit team that put everything on the line to get into the playoffs. I think he can gain 5 to 10 lbs of mass over the summer and be 170 to start to season. He's ready to be a game-breaker and bring the powerplay back to life. Demidov, I'll be hyped when he's ready to come over.

I think reinbacher can play a full season in the ahl, he has the size and skill set for that league were he can flourish, qlot like mailoux. I think lane is better suited to play in the nhl atm. Around high skill guys who will make him better and he will make them better.

Mike and Eleven 🤣🤣🤣

This team is going to be phenomenal, and it'll be difficult for it to not happen based on how many prospects are doing so well. I'm beyond excited for the coming seasons

this was a good draft for the Habs. they added 2 things that they were lacking. Some high end skill up front, and some size.

I had to stop the video to laugh. Mario Armia, fucking brilliant! You never cease to get in a quality joke. Merci!

As a wings fan I’m getting really scared of this team.

I bang-ding-ow'd, and I wi-tu-lo'd it, too!!! Excellent list and honourable mentions... Future's looking pretty bright! Habs are getting clogged at Left-D, tho... in a few years, I'd love to see Hutson-Guhle-Xhekaj as our 1-2-3 on Left-D, but right now, we also have Matheson, Harris and Struble that are left-handed and could all be regulars in the lineup, and I haven't even mentioned Savard, Barron, and Mailloux that are all right-handed (not to mention Popcorn!)...

Unfortunately I think Pazzetta is gone this yr by end of season regardless

Your list, my list. Potato, pootawto, tomato, tomatawto. Habs are awwe gonna be awesome soon. Go Habs Go!

Hoping this maybe the future lineup Guhle - konyushkov Hutson - reinbacher Arber x - mailloux Trade Assets : matheson, Harris, struble, Barron, engstrom Forwards: Slaf - Suzuki - demidov Caufield - dach - newhook ( Habs need another top 6 forward) Florian x - Beck - roy ( shutdown/grinding line that can produce offense) Which leaves: pezetta, rhp, evans, armia, Anderson, gallagher, kapanen

I think Reinbacher has 1st pairing potential and then Mailloux, then Konyushkov. To be fair I’ve been following Mailloux more than Konyushkov I know he’s a great prospect. You’re missing Hage, Mesar and Farrell. Hage, Newhook and Roy all have 2nd line potential imo and Newhook looked fantastic with Dach for those 2 games so we’ll see there’s no rush. If anything we can always make trades we have so many prospects and logjams in literally all positions

Florian xhekaj is a absolute stud, and I will say that until he scores 40-50 points in the nhl.

That's good but nowhere near top 5 prospect

looking good, congrats,

You’re right, Dobes is a player, and he’s the biggest goaltender in the system. When he was at Ohio state and Omaha, the kids got the athleticism and game to play in the NHL and he’s extremely level headed. His poor start at the beginning of the season last year was a combination of a really young team, and a goaltender just starting pro hockey. His SV% at almost 91%, after chasing a SV% of under 80% in the first 6 games and barely 82% in his first 10, he had a perfect rookie season in pro hockey. He’s going to be a lot better than everyone thinks, plus, he’s been ignored, and I’m sure he’s okay with that.

Reinbacher’s season was no way near abysmal. Half a ppg as a 19 year old on one of the worst teams in the NLA is something.

Somthing Mary browns can fix 😂😂😂 couple big Mary’s would treat right now.

My vote for the defense to start the year is Matheson/Ghule Hutson/Savard Xhakej/Mallioux These pairs maximize offense defense and toughness. Savard and Hutson being a pair is obvious as they complement each other so well and Xhakej plus Mallioux is a punishing pair that have both offense an defense and are a top tier playoff style pair. Alas im a townie, what do i know 😊

Can’t wait to see Owen Beck in a Habs Jersey.

This is very close junkie but I would tweet it a bit. I couldn't agree more, Matherson is prime beef and with a draft pick could land us Necas . I think the surprise at camp will be Forian Xherkaj. I would move big brother up on the wing and Beck at centre. i am begging Marty to do this and I think this line will get us in the playoff. Teams will no be running our little stars , knowing this line will be coming for them. This way we can keep Struble who I like very much.

In no particular order, Mailloux, Reinbacher, Hage, Demidov and Fowler.....then there's Beck and Kapanen. This Thorpe guy, 6'5" RW can score, heavy shooter, shoots in motion, needs work in areas that are workable, great project prospect. Imagine this guy on the back 6 with Xhekaj-lite, oufff. Well shite, add those guys to Slaf, Suzie, Goalfield, Dach, Newfhook, Roy and there's 12 forwards. Then ya never know, there's still Koivu, Engstrom, Sawyer, Volokhin... 2 first round and 2 second round picks next year, add some salt, pepper, a pinch of oregano, a few jalapeno's and the Habs might have themselves a team that can make the finals again in a few years but I'll probably be dead by then so I won't get to see it.

Habs are oozing talent ❤❤❤

I've seen a lot of people giving up on Mesar which is sad. Yes, his first season in the OHL was somewhat underwhelming and even tho this season was not significantly better in terms of point production, his style of play has definitely matured. I'm hopeful for his strong first AHL season and if he's given a proper top6 role in Laval w some PP time I think he will shine.

Nice selection, my thoughts on them; Roy has technically graduated (even though he was injured and missed 30 games) Yeah he's going to surprise many on the 2nd line with Dach this year. Florian is looking to be a look for the bottom 6 in only a couple seasons, I hope he has an excellent year in Laval, maybe even gets a call up. Mailloux could make the team out of camp, probably has to wait until the trade deadline for Savards spot. Guhle and Barron being the other 2 RD. Hutson will most likely make the team and play with Savard on the 3rd pair. Harris stock is quickly dropping. Xhekaj and Matheson being the other 2 LD. Demidov may arrive in 2025-26 and join Roy and Dach to complete an excellent top 6!

Mailloux will have played 2-4 seasons before Fowler arrives in Montreal.

Good call on Reinbacher. Looking at that pick in hindsight, it was a good pick. If Levshunov can go #2, it shows how valuable RD with top-pairing potential are. I think he'll be better than Levshunov. Levshunov is a clusterfuck defensively. And Kloten was a clusterfuck period, so can't put that on him. Great vid as usual Junkie.

My feelings might be wrong, depending how Reinbacher fare in his training camp he might just make the team since he's a big right handed defensemen. I can see Mailloux aswell... it depends on MTL org on how they wanna manage rookies contract and might want to get the maximum years out of these.

The road needs to be cleared, I am of the opinion that we will see older D moved as we get later in the year, so Mailloux and Reinbacher are in Laval for most of the year, and if they make the playoffs, they’ll be back there for that. Hutson is going to be back and forth with the main team. Barron, Savard and Matheson could be on the list to move this year.

1 Demidov, 2 Hutson, 3 Mailloux, 4 Hage, and 5 Fowler. I am still waiting for that pick up this year! I really hope they didnt decide to not pick up a goal scorer now because they got Demidov. I can see them saying why pay for someone to come here for a year or two, then when Demidov gets here, he will take that spot, so why bother taking ice time away from someone who needs it on the team? Which makes sense, but i can't handle another year of finishing in the bottom 5, i know we get a pick for it, but i want to start winning, i dont mean make the playoffs, we're in a crazy tough division. i just want to not know we aren't making the playoffs before preseason, which is where we will be, if we dont add someone who can put the puck in the net. Bottom of the league again, this team has suffered enough, and so have it's fans.
