As far as the rebuild goes it seems to me that we have two age-range core groups.
Suzi, Caufield, Dach, Newhook, Laine, Guhle (and maybe Matheson to some extent)
Slaf, Hutson, Demidov, Hage, Fowler, Reinbacker
Of all the high end talent we’ve acquired by “rebuilding with the draft”, only 2 of those drafted players are on the ice with the Habs.
They will need to decide which one of these groups is complementary to the other, but they’ve hedged their bets to some extent. The first group may just be there to get the team into the playoffs and shepherd that next wave into the Cup window.
I don't agree about the Demidov ad. It is the "season tickets WAIT list." That implies that by the time it's your turn on the wait list to buy season tickets, Demidov would be on the Habs.
Whew! You guys nail it. Hands down the best podcast on the habs. The only other one that I follow religiously is "Tellement hockey". There must be a common denominator in there somewhere. Keep up the great work. You make my day! Thanks. Léo.
Great episode.

There is a common denominator, yes. Can't quite put my finger on it though... ;)
