Yep exactly. Stick to some lines Husksa. Team looks lost out there so do you think constant line shuffling is going to work????? Kadri and Lindholm were tripping over themselves. If you want those guys together then Lindholm goes to RW not Kadri. Clear as day.Huberdeau-Sharongovich-Coronato
Play that line into the ground until they develop chemistry. Stop this desperation line-blender, Huska.
Totally agree on the first point. Another contradiction for this team when they say they wanted to compete... you put a first time coach out there who had a mediocre AHL record at best? Yikes. Half measures I tell ya man... bringing in a worse forward that is slightly younger when you want to compete and half assign futures. I can't really blame Conroy for a lot of the mess Tre made, but he had a terrible first off-season nevertheless.I feel bad for Huska, honestly. He looks like a deer in headlights. He’s out of his depth.
Failure begins top down. Murray Edwards needs to sell the team.
I genuinely wonder if the arena deal was inked earlier, if Johnny and Chucky would’ve stayed. We have the worst facility in the league by far. That matters a lot to players when deciding where to play, especially in a small Canadian market. Why the hell would you stay somewhere where it’s below -20 for half the year AND has trash facilities?
Idk man. I am worried we’re entering a dark era for the team. Huberdeau & Kadri inked for another 6 & 8 years respectively, a weak prospect pool, and honestly a franchise that lacks leadership and looks directionless.
It looks like Sutter did the best he could last year with the team he was given. If Markstrom wasn’t a literal sieve last year maybe the team wouldn’t have ran out the best coach we’ve had since… ever…out of town.
Montreal has the option on it if it is in the 20-32 range as a trade condition.I'd look iit up for myself but I'd just confuse myself. What's the deal with our first this year? Do we still have it, or is it Florida's? Or does it depend on where we finish?
Looks like we have it unless we finish between 20-32, then the Habs can take it.I'd look iit up for myself but I'd just confuse myself. What's the deal with our first this year? Do we still have it, or is it Florida's? Or does it depend on where we finish?
Agree with these lines. Huberdeau doesn't work with Lindholm. It took a staff of hockey experts far too long ffs.

He'll work better with Kadri than any of our other centres unless we give Dube a shot at it.he doesn't work with Kadri either but thats ok.
They should try Huberdeau/Sharangovich/Coronato because what the f*ck do they have to lose.

As for the bolded, Sutter is a pretty big reason we have some of those problems right now. He ran two very good prospects out of town for stupid reasons, and he was an asshole to the entire staff as well. He might've gotten this team close, but there was no way he could come back after he had alienated most of the club. It wasn't results that got him fired, but a shitty out of touch personality. You could argue he played a role in Tkachuk and Gaudreau leaving as well. The hire set this team back years.
Iginla’s favourite coaches were D Sutter and Keenan so that would be an interesting developmentI'm in full belief that Huska is just here keeping the chair warm for Iginla. And continue down the path of Murray Edwards' dream to establish his own old boy's club from 2003.
Backlund.I mean Coronato and Huberdeau are going to be here for a while. Should just force them together for the season and let them work out some chemistry. Coronato is a goal scorer. Huberdeau is a disher. Just let them figure it out.
Finding a center for them that works instead of the plague of Kadri will be the hard part.
