If you are going to keep Hutson, you have to keep “Xhehkaj” to protect against other teams targeting smaller more skilled players.
So why r u keeping HUTSON ... the liability

Mailloux ***
Mailloux***
I have faith in our organization 😊
I would trade Kovacevic and between Harris and Struble it’s really hard as Harris seems to have better hockey IQ but Struble can play really tough, as tough as Xhekaj which is essential especially in play off.
Totally agree!
I’d also trade the worst defenceman on the team. Were trying to get someone good though. Don’t get attached to the others, cause they’re trading someone way better than Kovacevic.
Tough but not as tough as Xhekaj.
Kovacevic makes league minimum and is a 6th D man. Wtf do you think youll get for him? Nothing!!!!
@@davidgosselin1193 les nerfs Gosselin!!!
You have to keep your best mobile and big defensemen that can block shots that's what it takes to win playoff hockey
Weird feeling. Maybe biased opinion. Habs are a near future mutiple championchip team. Heading in the right direction. Bigtime.
They just have to continue to be patient and not make stupid move. No need to rush! No need for lazy ass like Zegras!
If we trade for zegras , i may have to find a new team to cheer for , he is a goof
Zegras = Drouin with an American accent.
Johnny K. the best + - on the team, engages, will fight, very low cap hit, big covers space, smart ...keeper. Trade-Harris, Savard, Trudeau, Norlander at the draft...don't wait. Get Engstrom, Reinbacher, & Hutson starting in Laval. Logan M. and Baron start with the big club.
Mailloux and Reinbacher in Laval. Hutson in the big leagues. Im with you about Kovi....
Norlinder is worth a dozen of sticks. Wasn’t even a regular in the AHL and will never be an NHL player. Trudeau worth nothing as well for other teams. To me Hutson and Ghule possibly Reinbacher are the only three I’d really want to hold on to. Wouldn’t get rid of Mailloux or Xhekaj just for the sake but would listen to offers. As for Matheson, I think we can use him to possibly get a top six forward that would change our dynamic. Love the guy and his passion for Montreal, just think he’ll be on the downward Sloan when we are contenders. He is our best bargaining chip.
Where is Slaf still in Montreal? He did not arrive home yet.
They definitely could stand to move a Defensive prospect or two to try and bolster assets elsewhere, but as Jesse said it's worth having a stock pile. Despite what they look like ahead of time, most prospects don't hit at the NHL level, and there's a smaller margin in terms of usefulness/impact for D-man who fall short than there is for forwards. Hang on to as many as you can (sensibly), and increase your odds of finding ones that turn into meaningful, impactful NHL players.
I thought Kovacevic would've been traded at the deadline. Could be traded this summer, but I don't think the return is gonna be nearly as much. Harris looks like the odd man out, although the fact he can play both sides might help him. At this point, Justin Barron is starting to skate on thin ice. As a RHD, with a good point shot, his value could be even higher than Harris/Struble, and if Konyushkov is coming over (and especially if the Habs decide to target a RHD early in the draft), I could see them moving Barron for a forward.
Harris, Struble, Barron (worst trade by Hughes), can be all traded.
if the Lekhonen trade is the worst trade by him, he is a god
Agreed
@@jakubskalos677 You need a glass or I can tell you dont know what hockey is.
Look at Lehkonen he is one of most valuable playoff player. Meanwhile Barron is just clueless
Yeah don't count much on Konyushkov, he's got a contract with this KHL team until 25/26, he's not even 6"00 tall... The fact he played those big minutes is more indicative of the state of his team and of the KHL overall than of him being a Defense messiah on the ice. Dmitri Kostenko has more chances of making it for the simple fact he can be there this summer.
Feel like the Habs have some untouchables on D. Guhle Hutson and Reinbacher being the obvious 3. All especially Hutson show superstar potential and theres almost never a case where trading a superstar or even potential one works. Ex: Sergachev. Mailloux i dont think has that potential but still could be like a Thomas Harley kinda guy who i consider not an untouchable but definitely an avoided. Xhekaj also is definitely here. You just cant trade him. For everything he brings. He is in above untouchables in like unlookables. Other then those though. Im okay with Struble Barron Harris Kovy Matheson Savard and our other prospects getting traded.
I always hear that we need to keep all the best D we have (Popcorn, Hutson, Mailloux, Matheson, Guhle, Sheriff etc etc) but what we need to understand is you can't keep 6 Ds that will all make 5-6-7-8 Millions a year. You can't built that way. You need to have a top pair at 6-8 Mil, then you need a middle pair at 4-5 Mil each then a bottom pair at 1-2 Mil and a 4th pair at minimum wage. So you will need to keep 2-3 guys like Harris, HondaCivic, Struble, Barron, Trudeau etc etc.
Almost seems this message was just to plug your nicknames for players as if you were buddy buddy with them
Its better to stock your team with defensemen that can play the third/fourth line, then forwards that play the third or fourth line. That's why it's better to draft them then forwards that are unlikely to become 1st/2nd line scorers. Which if you are getting them in the 3rd or 4th rd, if you find one, they are likely to be small.
It’s going to cost a D prospect at least, maybe two, maybe another forward prospect and a first this year or next, to find something that’s going to be of some kind of quality. Harris, Struble, Kovacevic, Barron, Farrell, Mesar, and maybe other options, to potentially get something back
Trade proposal- Toronto will make Marner a scapegoat for why they keep losing in the playoffs. So why not trade trade Harris, Kovosevic, Trudeau and a 5 or 6th round draft pick or something similar? Montreal can eat the contract and they get an elite forward. Makes sense to me. What do you think?
Like the Courtnal trade back a number of years ago. Toronto was so desperate they took an enforcer. Montreal obviously got the better or the trade
I wouldn't want to be the one deciding who to sacrifice. The thing is, the Habs don't need another third line player, they already have too much of those. They need a top six scoring machine and these guys are worth gold. Hughes will have to sacrifice a precious defenceman to have a precious forward. I predict that Mailloux will be sacrificed. The Habs brought him into the light and now he's ready to go. I don't want Mailloux to leave, I think he is a special player who will have a great career, but we urgently need a star goal scorer.
Putting hype on Sobalev and Kostenko is crazy 😅😂
POSITIVITY BABY! Hahahahaha
Dman you keep :Hutson Mailloix wifi and reinbacher guhle
Trade Engstrom and keep that crazy Craig Rivet trade tree growing!
Engstrom was awesome at the rookie camp he was the best on the ice with Hutson
Hudson and Savard would be a good pair. This would let Hudson be the offensive threat we know he can be. Having a savvy vet like Savard beside him for his first couple of seasons is only going to benefit Hudson and the Habs.
All depends on how big of a fish you want to catch, I don’t see Harris or Struble bring in anyone big, that will like take one of Reinbacher Mailloux, Guhle
Everyone here is talking like giving away our bottom prospects would being in high offense.
Lets trade Barron & Harris For McDavid.
Its like Carolina offers us Necas for Hutson & Mailloux.
Would you accept that?
Depending on where we end of up in the lottery we could use Harris to move up a spot or 2
the dman that I know we'll likely end up keeping are Hutson and reinbacher. I wouldnt be suprised to see a ghule trade one day. He's not the type of player you keep for all that time
the best plus minus was kovacevic in the whole teem .
It does help when you average the less minutes and play against the worst players. I do like Kovacevic but plus minus stat has to be taken with a grain of salt sometimes
As I said in the past it’s never good when you have to trade a player. The other DGs see you coming. Should have drafted a forward last year. Mitchkov or Dvorsky.
Don't worry too much about getting a top 6 forward. There are lots of prospects that could bloom in the next couple years.
If we hope to have a cup contending team, we have no prospects in the pipeline that would be a top six forward on a true contending team. Roy, 3rd line on cup contending team, same with Beck. Mesar, don’t believe he’s an nhler. Farrell, nope. Kapanen, third line at best. This years pick, possibly.
We need to hold on to Matheson so he can guide the young defensemen to play in the NHL!
Points are not everything. He messes up in so many other ways that the points cancel out.
Guide yes but help the 1st line to make points too. I doubt Slak would make 60 pts without him!
Florian now 6’4” could solve our second line problem so wouldn’t draft a second line forward … I’d draft that 6-7 Russian dman. Gotta get meaner. Keep X even if he ends up a 6/7, Guhle, Reinbacher and Hutson. The rest is fair game. I might also keep Matheson and move him to RD
Harris is smaller and easiest to push off the puck. And Kovacevic because as you said we know what his ceiling is and Malloux and Reinbacher can replace him
I’m shocked at how little love Mailloux gets.
The guy is a stud RD who provides offence and plays physical.
Laval season was turned around when Wifi was partnered with LM.
Everyone clamouring for a Dman to be traded for a top 6 forward needs to leave Ghule, Wifi and Mailloux names outta that conversation.
Harris? might move? maybe 52 Justin Baron??
Ghule, Xhekaj, Mailoux, Reinbacher, Hudson and Struble should all be OFF LIMITS.
Agreed
Trudeau is our most underrated asset, they might move him or someone knowing he can play at NHL level.
Montreal needs Matheson!
All fine and dandy but the Engstrom, Harris, Struble and Kovacevic will not fetch much in a trade. If we want a true top 6 young forward, sadly we have to give up on Mailloux, Guhle or Reinbacher. 4-5-6 dmen aren't worth that much.
why dont we swap forwards and defence, four defensive lines, 3 forward pairings!
I would try Jack-eye on the 3rd line with Gally and Anderson... it could do some noise!!!
I would trade Harris barron kovy or even guhle for the right price with the depth we have coming I don't think guhle is in solid position here and as a pretty good value on the market
Matheson isnt going anywhere this year. We need Hutson behing Matheson for a season. That said, Strubble can go back to laval or trade him and Harris. One thing is for sure were not trading a Dman for a top 6 this off season
Barron will be gone
Harris , Struble, Baron ....... go
Kovacevic is no longer good enough for the team. Who is Trudeau going to pass? No one!
Harris is the most likely to go, I think. Maybe Kovacevic, too, although his size would be tough to lose. I do have a comment about one term that you use a lot: upside. It is one of those terms that ceases to have any meaning. What does it mean to say a player has "upside"? Don't any potential NHLers have some kind of "upside"? It seems that a lot of expressions that have become popular in recent years are most vague than the ones they replace. I'd just drop this one. Also, Jesse, you really say "as well" too much. I think it becomes a verbal habit. It's almost never needed. I don't' mean to be critical but I think these small changes would make your videos even better.
You have to factor in injuries. You can never have too many good defence men
If we want to make a real legit trade for a young power forward like Zegras. We will need to let go some good guys. They wanted Arber Xhekaj. We will not part with him.
Maybe they will want a combo of Kaiden Guhle, Savard, Kovacevic, Struble, Matheson and Jordan Harris.. Or all of them and a draft pick. We Have to make way for Lane and Mailloux anyways. Our current D guys are not that good. We have been the bottom 5 in the NHL for a few years now. We need to take some risks and put these guys out there.
I wouldn't really trade anyone for draft picks at this point. We need proven talent now to compete. Not guys ready in a few years.
Zegras is NOT a power fwd bro
I dont mind us trading away Mailloux for a better forward prospect
You spelled Ghule wrong
@@SOLVETCO I rather get rid of someone who has a shady past, then someone who is an angel hehe.
Trudeau can go , with a name like that send him to the Cuban league
We’ve got to move more than just one dman lol! We also have Hutson and Mailloux, Barrón all NHL ready! I would t be shocked if any of our dmen are moved with the exception of Guhle. Nobody saw the Romanov trade coming so do let it shock you of even Matheson or Xkejah gets moved!
barron and harris
Matheson is the best strategy. Hutson can replace him easily and he can get a very good return. Also Harris should be traded
Trudeau, Hutson. Harris are too small, ...watch the playoffs.
Untouchables for me at D: Kaiden Guhle, Lane Hutson, Arber Xhekaj.
I would trade/package pretty much anyone else as long as we get fair return of course and as long as we make a "buy-low" type move on anyone except Zegras or Kaliyev. Those two are not playoff built. Also, reason why I wouldn't want to buy-high on anyone is because I don't think it's necessary. I like the way our team is developing now - no need to blow it up.
i feel like the value in trade would be Xhekaj, Kovasevic & Baron closing the march would be the likeliest.
As much as i don't really want to see WI-FI traded , but he is likely the most asked for in our youth d corps... and judging by his shoulder injuries might not be a bad idea in the long run...
Guhle does not fit on my team. Matheson, Hutson,Xhekaj on the left with Struble as extra guy. Guhle is going to be traded, Harris too and maybe Barron as well. Mailloux passed Barron and Reinbacher will too. Honda Civic stays with Savard and Mailloux on the right side to complete opening day defence.
Bogdan as well... we could rebuild easily 3 NHL defense core with our prospect pool... it's more than a mindfuck situation.. patience? I mean, patience as an expiry date in Montreal, we have 2 year window max to see who we keep.. we need 6 solid defense and 2 extra meaning 8... Hutson would be a nice bait for a trade 🎉
Trade Harris and Barron. The untouchables for now,unless the return is significant: I would not move Xekaj(can't teach his kind of toughness), or Hutson ,Mailloux,Engstrom( may be the best of the bunch),Reinbacher,Guhle( though his being prone to injury worries me)Struble is a nice insurance D, and may have interest to other teams.We are going to have to trade some of them eventually,we can start with Barron(i miss Lekhonen) and Harris,imo
Ghule
Gotta disagree here guys about struble or harris being something a team would take with picks to get a top 6 forward. Gotta pay to play in trades. It’s gonna be someone like Mailloux or Guhle plus a first rounder and maybe a little more to get a solid top 6..
Yea...I'm thinking for one of guys and a late round 1st or 2nd round pick, maybe a late round pick sprinkled on.
@@pizza603 if I’m not mistaken Martin Necas in Carolina is fair game for an offer sheet I think. Maybe we send an offer sheet to a team that is close to the cap with others to sign. I’d give some picks for him
@@Duke_Bootee24 Keep the Habs/ Canes offer sheet war going 😆. Yea he's a solid option at the right price 50+ points and 25years old.
I dont disagree. But it's not the only way. Matheson is a #1 defenseman. He was top ten in scoring for all defenseman. Thats a #1. So any team that dosent have an already better one I think would. Florida for me is interesting to see him go back there. Montour Ekblad and Forsling are all good but not #1 PP defenseman like Matheson. Maybe Lundell for Matheson? Seattle as well. They aren't rebuilding and have some solid top 6 forwards. I can see a McCain for Matheson 1 for 1. Utah as well needs a #1. Maybe a Schmaltz for Matheson 1 for 1? I think those all make way more sense then trading possible stars like Mailloux Guhle Hutson Reinbacher
@@4u2nvHock3y matheson is also an option for sure. His stock right now is the highest it will ever be. Not to sold on the players you mentioned trading for though.
Look ! It's celliebrini , 3#1 and a young defenseman left side ! San Jose, Chicago, columbus , even anahiem would be crazy to say no ! And we get a star for the minimum 10 years !
DO NOT trade Mike Matheson.
Why not? He is terrible defensivly and by the time we are ready for a cup run ,matheson will ve over the hill and be another petry problem
@@naturalbeast5157 Obviously, we are not in agreement. The team cannot be comprised solely of 18 to 22 year olds. Matheson is a better player than your description. I want this team to improve. We all do.
@@henryzelman33 he is the human turnover with more assists on opposing teams goals then on mtl goals. He is 3yrs old , he had his career year this year its time to trade him before he becomes a bad contract that is unmoveable
@@henryzelman33 why take time away from Hutson running the pp to keep matheson around , with how florida rangers carolina tampa toronto are built we are 3yrs away from those teams being to old , i dont wanna just make playoffs , id rather see another dynasty built, but we wont have that by keeping matheson around
Trade bait(that would be willing to move)= Harris, Struble, Barron, Honda Civic imo
So you get at best a bottom 6 guy.
@@benozkleenex package w/ picks
Trade Matheson
Trade matheson
Jesse- your face is too close to the camera and we can see right down your throat. Peace
You’re wasting air talking about Trudeau
I would trade Kovacevic or Barron
“Xhehkaj”
I think Montreal trades Matheson to Utah for Schmaltz and a 2nd. Utahs owner said hes willing to make BIG moves and wants to make his team good now. He could be their #1 defenseman who can put up 60+ points. Montreal gets a very good top 6 player who has proven he can get points while being physical. He would fill in a nice role for us. Win win. We have Hutson to replace Matheson or even Guhle and Arizona gets a legit #1 while we get a very important piece.
MTL: Nick Schmaltz, 2024 2nd UTA.
UTA: Mike Matheson
Maybe a smaller trade with Utah again would be Barron. He was on pace for 32 points in his rookie year and they need offense from their defense. Josh Doan looks like a future middle 6 stud. I think a 1 for 1 trade could work with them. Maybe we add a pick?
MTL: Doan
UTA: Barron, 2024 4th MTL.
Not enough for Matheson
I doubt they trade Doan
Although I would love the Habs to acquire him 😊
@robertlegault9226 Eh you don't get much outside of offense to be honest. With Matheson. With Schmaltz you get that offense and physicality. I think Matheson is the better player but this was probably a carrer year and it's a win win. I was thinking they add a conditional over a 2nd but i didn't want to get hate comments
i would trade savard for two snickers & give them a case of molson
Hutson would be a good trade to pick up a stud forward.
That will come back to bite us hard, very risky to trade him.
Bro. He has Quinn Hughes potential. That's worse then Sergachev. WORSE
@@4u2nvHock3y see the Leafs? It's not about small and skilled, especially on defence. We want big boys on the back end, like the old days of Savard, Robinson Lapoint, Laperrier. Build this team to win championships, not to be entertaining during the regular season. Trade Hutson for a top skilled forward.
P.S. he is no Sergachev.
Move the Price deal to Utah for picks at the draft! 🪜
Matheson is the best strategy. Hutson can replace him easily and he can get a very good return. Also Harris should be traded
