I actually eenjoy watching Armia, I was high on the guy last season when he suddenly found himself again. He was our best board battler, best PK forward by a mile. Slaf was good at the boards too but damn did Armia show up in the last part of the season.
@@markorr999 to be fair, he didnt learn that from Slaf. Hes been doing this since he was with the habs. Just forgot to use it after 2020. Remember the cup run on the fourth line with Staal and Perry. They were possession monsters and Armia was a big part of that.
If Armia has, in fact, arrived, then I say we extend him for a couple of years. He could be very valuable in our bottom 6. He's a great penalty killer.
Last season mario armia was fun to watch and seens to be a good match whit the youngsters wich is a relief scince not so long ago his contract was seen as unmovable
Same, it's Mr. Anderson who has to go, I'll always remember that goal in OT he scored against Vasilevsky in their sole victory in the 20-21 stanly cup finals, but he didn't score a goal until close to his 50th game, and then he had a mini-streak and that was the end of it, I'd rather have kept Drouin than Anderson who's shown to be able to perform when placed with other first round picks...
Put Armia on a 2nd line with Dach and Newhook to pad his stats instead of putting on a 4th line. Can look good at trade deadline at worst. At best he clicks on the 2nd
I think Armia saw how Slaf uses his size to great success and started playing a similar style in the second half of the season. I believe he could have a breakout season with the right ice time.
You don't get rid of this gut...many a night he is the Habs best player...1 of the few who can get to the net and also has a pretty good scoring touch!
I think Armia saw how Slaf uses his size to great success and started playing a similar style in the second half of the season. I believe he could have a breakout season with the right ice time. If we could get Demidov this year, Caulfield Suzuki, Demidov then put Armia with Dach and Slaf. 1 fast skilled line and 1 big bruising and skilled second line.
I'd like to trade off Matheson and move Ghule to the right side, but it's likely Savard is gone at trade deadline with his contract up he should fetch a nice return. he's a UFA so if he's truly happy in Montreal we can re sign him in the offseason.
Agree keep Armia see what happens. Scares me he will find himself if we trade him. With Josh let him play some top 6 minutes to see what happens. We are going nowhere this year or next so we have the luxury of seeing weather we can improve their worth.
I think they should be patient he could have a great season if he starts the way he finished the season and they could better there return Or why not resign him but to a better deal?
he's probably going to play for his contract and be way out of range for what we would value him for. As a rebuild you want that 3rd line for developing rookies, and the 4th line is where you have guys like Armia and Gally. On a contender Armia could be a solid 3rd pairing and a PK specialist and make quite a bit more than the 1M to 2M that we should offer him. there's definitly other options out there to fill that same need.
trading Armia before the deadline is a mistake. but at the deadline if we are out of playoff position he should generate a second round pick for sure. he's on a contract year so this dude is going to play like his life depends on it this season. like @baconNationChannel said he's also the best PK forward on the team.. I hate that fact given Anderson, Dach, Gally, and Slav should really have that title but it is what it is.
i tough the trade was done but it's again speculations ! According to most hockey analysts : Micheal Pezzetta, Joel Armia, Christian Dvorak, Brendan Gallagher, Josh Anderson and Jake Evans have no futur in Montréal. Ok! but who is going to replace them ? When the Kids will be ready ? It can took another 3-4 years before the kids are NHL ready ! Don't cut your loss too fast ! In a good team you need talented kids and veterans.
Zach all season has been under throwing receivers, and throwing behind receivers. Either he’s hurt, or just doesn’t have the same zip on the ball. Or he’s too busy thinking because our O-line has been bad and not giving him the time to set up properly. We need a different center we need to get younger! I knew it can’t last forever
he underachieved everywhere, thats y nobody wants him ... only bergeron liked him, along with gallagher, devorak & savard!!!!! trade them all for nothing... give them away with draft picks if need be!!!! gotta get rid of these bums so we can start winning!!!!!!

@@markorr999 Seriously? You think he just woke up?
@@dougiesherwin9591 Is that what I said? No, it "seriously" wasn't
@@markorr999 Maybe in your mind it wasn't, but in the real world it was. Try reading slowly.
17 goals and 3 disallowed goals in 66 games, without powerplay role. Best defensive forward and PKer in the team. Only 3.4M$ lol
If Armia has, in fact, arrived, then I say we extend him for a couple of years. He could be very valuable in our bottom 6. He's a great penalty killer.
I think Army on a line with Dvo and Gally would be a great 200ft line, so I'm in with the extend him crowd, 2 years would be good.

Mario Mario Junkie fan❤
Id rather keep him and sign him to a bottom 6 contract. Love this guy too much he is my dads fav player.

Better remain a Habs. He has good chance to better his scoring with the young core.
I like Armia a lot of players should go before Joel
Stupid to trade Armia hard to replace his size and skill he is built for playoff hockey and can be a bottom 6 in any team and play above

They have to keep that retention spot for Anderson or Gallagher, keep Savard imo. He's propping our D men.
I'd like to trade off Matheson and move Ghule to the right side, but it's likely Savard is gone at trade deadline with his contract up he should fetch a nice return. he's a UFA so if he's truly happy in Montreal we can re sign him in the offseason.
I’m rather trading Dvorack and Barron in a package for Laine than trading Armia right now.
Agree keep Armia see what happens. Scares me he will find himself if we trade him. With Josh let him play some top 6 minutes to see what happens. We are going nowhere this year or next so we have the luxury of seeing weather we can improve their worth.
Why would you trade him when the draft pick you get will most likely be worse than the player you traded?
I think they should be patient he could have a great season if he starts the way he finished the season and they could better there return
Or why not resign him but to a better deal?

Nah, keep him on the 3rd line for the foreseeable future until one of the young bucks are ready to take his spot.
what do you do with Armia, if he continues to play the entire year as he did in the 2nd half of the season last year?
I love the idea but seriously i will believe when its done
I wouldn't be surprised savard + salary rétention fetch a 1 round pick, right defenseman are the biggest commodity in the nhl.
Zach all season has been under throwing receivers, and throwing behind receivers. Either he’s hurt, or just doesn’t have the same zip on the ball. Or he’s too busy thinking because our O-line has been bad and not giving him the time to set up properly. We need a different center we need to get younger! I knew it can’t last forever
4th round pick if we retain 2 million
We keep him. # th line and PK
He's a bargain bin Bergeron
you just compared armia to monahan ???? stop making videos !!!!!!
He’s a third rounder if he’s producing. 4th rounder if not.
Armia and Dvorak last season with the Habs
Nah, Dvorak needs to go
Thank to puckpedia i hope nobody buy them too
This should be his last season with us need to make room for youth trade him for sure even for a third
I’d even take a 4th just to rid the salary from the team
The only thing we really need to do is find a new linemate for Suzuki and slafkosky. Get Caufield off the first line.
then whos gonna replace
Pardon?
I can’t wait to see Caufield netting like 45 goals next season.
Could be a Roy? Maybe via trade? But I think Caufield on the second line fits him better.
@@NoMoeMistaNiceGuy roy on a first line.. come back to this comment if this happen if hes terrible cauflied comes back on first line
stop talking about savard & armia!!!! nobody sane wants them!!!!! my dream is for them to be gone with gallagher & devorak
I wouldn't give you a bag of pucks for him! Give me a break...
get rid of armia now---if you want to keep a fringe player keep dvorak probly wouldnt get much for him anyway
he underachieved everywhere, thats y nobody wants him ... only bergeron liked him, along with gallagher, devorak & savard!!!!! trade them all for nothing... give them away with draft picks if need be!!!! gotta get rid of these bums so we can start winning!!!!!!
armia needs to get traded like yesterday!!!! he is a 1-10 ( plays good only 1 outta 10 games
Still have 17 goal...
31 years old
useless
Man you talk so much without saying anything. Get to the point FFS.
