Sujet: Question for my fellow Habs fans not on my ignore list - about PLD
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>p1015983</b></div><div>I'm looking at Dubois's stats and I don't understand why people are placing his value so high.

48 pts in 82 games
61 pts in 82 games
49 pts in 70 games

Suzuki will easily reach that potential and probably produce more. I get he's 6ft3 and from Quebec but who cares where he's from.

This situation reminds me a lot of the Drouin situation. A player unhappy with his current team, pouts and moans until he gets what he wants. We already have one of those and don't need another.

If Dubois really wants to play in Montreal, just wait until he is UFA at 26-27 and sign him then.</div></div>

I agree with everything. (Other than the 3rd paragraph)
Dubois isn’t much better than anyone we have. I’d even argue that Danault is a better player right now. Sure, I’d definitely be willing to swap PLD &amp; Danault, but that’s only because Danault is 5 years older. But we certainly don’t need Dubois to win at all.

Sujet: Habs game 1 reaction and lineup for game 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMs</b></div><div>Agree with you
Byron outside the OT, he had an ok game. The 4th line wasn’t really good, not horrible but they need to do better. Evans Poehling will definitely alternate, I would like to see Poehling against EDM Saturday.
Chiarot didn’t play that bad last year, it took him 6-7 games to get use to the system. Romanov needs to play top4, Edmundson 3rd pairing with Kulak or Mete.</div></div>

I feel like the problem with Chiarot was that for the first 14 games he was paired with Petry, Folin, and Fleury. It wasn’t until game 15 that he got paired with Weber, and it was a perfect match. I feel like he just needs to be with a D like Weber (or Byfuglien) to play effectively.

I agree with pretty much everything, except maybe the lineup changes.

It’s been one game for Byron, and he’s looked good in limited minutes. There’s nothing that would make me think about taking him out of the lineup. I’d be fine with taking Evans out of the lineup, but if his replacement is Poehling, it’s pretty much useless.

As for the D, I don’t think it’s worth it to change it up. Romanov looked great tonight, but I think it’s still good to have him as a threat on a pair separate from Petry &amp; Weber. He can get time on ice by rolling our pairings, on the PP, and on the PK if another D is in the box. Plus it’s proven up to this point that Chiarot isn’t as effective when he isn’t playing with Weber. And from what CJ and Brett have said, Kulak is very uncomfortable on his offside. The only change I would consider making is swapping Edmundson for Kulak, but that doesn’t really do much at this point 1 game in.

Montreal played well but an unlucky bounce off a ref caused the loss imo. Anderson was so fun to watch and Suzuki is the real deal. Guess the Habs management kind of lied when they said Romanov was on the third pair...(He played 22:49, 2nd most on the team behind Weber). He had a great pass that led to a goal and he played well too. I liked KK and Toffoli had lots of good chances just couldn't finish (including an open shot in over time that he shot straight in the goalies chest) Overall a good but unlucky game for the Habs. Next up: Saturday vs EDM</div></div>

Yeah, it was a good game, but the bounces didn’t go our way. And I don’t think that Romanov was meant to play so much. He just ended up playing a lot because of all the PP time, and got time on the PK because we have D in the box. He still spent most of his even strength time with Kulak. But he looked really good, and I could definitely see him playing higher in the lineup if they wanted to make the D pairs less even.

One of my takeaways is how good the powerplay looked. When they’re in the zone it isn’t too different, but the zone entries were exponentially better than they were last year. My only gripe would be that I would want KK to shoot more, rather than just trying to dish the puck away every time. Even if he’s taking a stationary wristlet, his shot is still deadly, and worst case scenario the puck has a better chance ending up on another hab’s stick than when he’s passing directly through the PKers.
