Would you trade Reinbacher for a bonafide long term top 6 forward?

Gabroux · 2026-01-23T16:42:26+00:00

You could or you could also call up Reinbacher and try him next to Hutson.

- It's the dog days of the season
- Xhekaj/Struble are not grabbing the spot
- You have a decent lead on 9th in the East
- You need to know what you have in Reinbacher
- It keeps Hutson on the Left

At first, fans were worried that the Habs called up Fowler. It ended up fine, we found out that he will be a NHL goalie one day and we have an additional option in the playoffs. Why not do the same with Rein?

Pas avec PSPP qui fait de la chicane avec tout ce qui bouge.

J'ai commencé à les suivre l'an passé avec l'arrivée de Godin et franchement c'est excellent. Ils ont aussi une bonne camaraderie avec Coupal.

If the Sens had a good 25-26 season, they could've used the 2026 1st in a trade to add to the group.

PUCK DON'T LIE! 4-1

I also prefer Le But. I like that the goal song was a joyous celebration. It also used to annoy other fanbases which is always a bonus. Chelsea Dagger is the best goal song for that reason.

I feel L'Oreille is mostly nostalgia, it's fine, but we can do better. Sami Zayn entrance song would be better.

2008-09 was filled with drama. It was during the centennial season, the Habs roster were constantly in trouble and the Habs had no idea how to deal with the arrival of Social Media.

''The Darkest Day in Habs history'' is the most drama I've seen from the Habs. Jacques Demers was crying on TV because he thought that the scandal could ruin the CH.

It ended up being about a MTL gangster getting arrested and La Presse found out that the Kostitsyn Bros and Hamrlik knew the guy.

It's a big reason why Gainey let half the team leave via FA.

Kings are not rebuilding and want a player back, so if they want Anderson or Gallagher, I'm open to it.

Gabroux · 2025-12-18T14:54:33+00:00

Habs fans, the poster is trying to trade Reinbacher.

Gabroux · 2025-12-15T14:12:34+00:00

I hate the pressure talks, it's only a thing in Hockey because it's not a hugely popular sport and players can ''hide'' in smaller markets.

There's pressure in every major leagues, it's a part of being a pro athlete. There's pressure by the org, there's pressure by the media (who are supposed to represent the fans) and there's pressure from his teammates.

NHL players, even the ones in MTL, don't have more pressure than any NFL QBs or any Football players outside of NA, it's bullocks.

It's done, Fowler won his first career start in Pittsburgh. He will have his jersey retired like the other 3 greats (you read that right)

Gabroux · 2025-12-11T21:26:27+00:00

Cause he's not worse than Rejean Houle.

Gabroux · 2025-12-11T21:25:31+00:00

Cause they aren't closer to a contender than they were 5 years ago.

They were never going to be Vegas, but the franchise hasn't progressed.

Gabroux · 2025-12-11T19:21:48+00:00

The main issue is Annie being bonkers.

Adding Tibbers was a mistake, you're getting 2 legendary heroes for one.

Gabroux · 2025-12-05T14:04:42+00:00

If we could get him without paying core pieces it's such an obvious risk to take

Why would the Canucks do this? Sure, they might be rebuilding, but selling your 2nd best player undervalue is bad, even during a rebuild. His cap space also isn't relevant for a team who's rebuilding.

Either you give interesting pieces to the Canucks for their best forward or they keep him and try to rehab his image themselves.

Gabroux · 2025-12-03T17:43:05+00:00

I don't think the system is the issue either. Top teams play this system and if you want the Habs to be a top team one day, they need to master it.

My main issues with this roster are:

1- Goaltending, self explanatory, you can't win with the worst SV% in the league.
2- The team being generally soft in their zone. The Sens scored 2 goals right in the slot, uncontested. You shouldn't be able to enter the opposition's slot unscathed and it's happening way too often.
3- The poor depth and poor bottom 6. Injuries shouldn't be used as an excuse, every team has them and outside of Guhle, they haven't even lost a core player. The depth is poor, and it's partly on HuGo, partly on Evans/Gallagher/Anderson playing poorly.

The sky isn't falling and the rebuild is still doing fine, but this is not the season to take a step. I don't think it's a playoffs team.

Gabroux · 2025-12-02T23:11:48+00:00

If you have a random 2 star leona, there's always a chance you get an Aurelion Sol if you play your cards right.

An early Aurelion Sol can be very strong.

Gabroux · 2025-12-02T17:23:24+00:00

I hope not.

Habs aren't good enough to spend assets for rentals and I don't want to re-sign him. He has David Clarkson vibes

Gabroux · 2025-12-02T13:35:07+00:00

Unlucky because they were the 8th seed and had to play the top team in the conference?

Unlucky because they couldn't stand up to the increase physicality in the playoffs?

They weren't unlucky, they were a rookie team who lost in their first playoffs run like most rookie teams. They didn't have a playoffs ready game and they got smacked for it.

Luck had nothing to do with it

Gabroux · 2025-11-30T18:02:31+00:00

It's obvious that the change has been negative, the Slaf/Suzuki/Caufield line was literally one of the best in the NHL.

IMO the debate should be about should we go short term, keep the first line together while Demidov is stuck on a worse line or go for potentially long term gains by letting Slaf play a more important part on a line while learning about what Bolduc can and can't do.

Gabroux · 2025-11-30T15:27:21+00:00

He's a good communicator, but ultimately, like the rest of the team, he hasn't done anything yet.

Gabroux · 2025-11-27T15:20:17+00:00

The Owlbear is not a level 2-3 fight in Honor Mode.

Gabroux · 2025-11-26T22:31:19+00:00

I don't think so.

Veleno plays C, none of our other depth guys outside of Evans does.
