Quoting: habs_fan123
price crawford are still here weber is better than nurse
what about reilly or benn or vlassic or hall or stone
Sorry habs_fan123 that I didn't write the description in French - it actually says that Hall and Vlasic could meet up with the team once their respective clubs are eliminated from the playoffs. I don't expect their series to end quick enough for them to be available for the first few matches though.
Benn's on the top line. Unless you meant Jordie, which is laughable. How does Stone crack this roster lmao???? Hall might push Staal out and play #2LW, pushing the rest of that side down a line, but he's the only other forward that could even remotely make it. Hockey Canada has a thing with left- and right-handed defensemen. I don't see Weber taking a spot from one of the RHD on this team already, he's gotten to be too slow.
I did legitimately overlook Morgan Rielly though. Good catch. Same situation as Hall and Vlasic though - the projected Bos/TOR series is going to be an all out 7-game bloodbath. He's probably not there in time for the first few games.
I already responded to Price - if he's fatigued already, he's getting shut down for the summer. The Canadiens brass won't let him go. And again, in the description, I don't know how far along Cawford is with his vertigo treatment. It's not an illness that just goes away.
Edit: Re Getzlaf: he doesn't make this roster. No room for another LHC. Not every top-tier player can be on this team.
