We already have star players lol… Suzuki is a star player, Caufield is a Star player… We do not have a superstar player and Slafkovsky is definitely on the path at becoming that… in my opinion Slafkovsky is going to be a franchise level player, Not generational obviously like Bedard, Crosby, Mcdavid etc, But Franchise level like Rantanen, Pastrnak, Matthew Tkachuk, William Nylander etc… Juraj will fall under the franchise category if he hits his potential… Some franchise players are better than others but they still fall under the same category…
Max Lapierre is my favorite guest of yours Tony. Toujours aimer Max quand il jouais pour les Canadiens, le coeur au travail, un vrai guerrier. Son opinion vaut cher! Keep on the good work, love the daily habs podcast. Go Habs Go!
Pfff ! Lapierre était un joueur TRÈS ordinaire; pas de talent plus qu’il faut et qui faisait semblant de jouer de façon robuste. Ses mises en échec faisaient beaucoup de bruit parce qu’il frappait la bande plus que le joueur. Lapierre avait une grande gueule pour écœurer les joueurs adverses mais il avait peur de se battre.
I love Max...I think a lot of people still do not understand the greatness of Hossa...look what happened to Chicago when he left...one of the best two way players...when he went full offensive mode at the beginning of his career he was crazy...once he started to play defense he become one of the best...i would love if Slaf will be Hoss 2.0
57:45 Tony… I agree… Matheson is AMAZING !!! BUT !!!! Can SOMEBODY in the MEDIA tell him… that Slafkovsky on his right on the PP… he EXISTS !!! He’s there !!!! PASS HIM the FREAKING PUCKKKK !!!! for crying out loud
Max Lapierre is one of the most knowledgeable sportscaster in Quebec.. actually in hockey. His IQ and judgement are up there. The only statement he got wrong was on Primeau but even then.. we dont know if Primeau will be a number 1
Totally agree, yet another brilliant collaborator. Don't agree that Dach is better than Cole, he wasn't last season the sample size for this season was one game. I love Dach but people seem to think he's turning up next year as a complete project coming off a year long injury.
Marty St. Louis is 100% an amazing coach for this team as of right now… When Kent Hughes takes that next step and starts to add players for this team to make the playoffs How good Marty will be as a coach at the time remains to be seen, But as of right now he’s amazing… We also have to consider as Marty gets more experienced he’s going to get better and better behind the bench… Maybe he does not win a cup with the habs but I have no doubt in my mind Marty is winning a cup with a team as a coach….
Hi Tony/ Max this is Kevin from Halifax NS. Since we have A lot of mobile d men. could we covert a couple into forwards if they are not traded. We know Barron can score from the point and Harris is a good skater and bright could they make as a left and right winger?
Je suis entièrement d’accord avec Maxime et Hossa est aussi pour moi la comparaison qui me vient en tête mais en plus grand !!!! Respect ✊🏾 pour Maxime je ne croyais pas en mes yeux de dépisteur 😅lolll mais Lapierre for President or DG
Look at the Leafs. What kind of dressing room do they have ? When you have 4 players making 70% of the cap, what kind of chemistry is there ? Players working as hard, if not harder, earning so much less. Give Slaf a dollar less than Cole. You play well in Montreal there's a lot of endorsement $. Habs are closer to winning a cup than Toronto. They have the dressing for winning.
I would offer 7.6 million at first and if that can’t get it done 8.4 would be the highest I would go at this point just because Slaf hasn’t proved to be worth that money you could say, But if he signs even at 8.4 million that contract will look like a steal in 2 years from now… My opinion Slaf has 100 point potential he’s going to be worth that money and if the Habs give him a bridge deal it’s gonna cost way more when he’s due like 2-3 million more especially with the cap being higher in 2 years from now… Also Leafs 4 players take up 53.3% of their cap but I know you would just over exaggerating lol…
The thing with matheson is that is 30 years old. He will be what 35 when we compete for the cup. I highly doubt that he will be as fast and good at 35. For me he simply doesn’t fit the timeline quebecer or not
You are right he probably doesn't fit the timeline. But that doesn't mean they don't need a guy like him right now. Unless one of the young defenseman breaks out offensively or they get a really good off then he will be on this team for a few years to eat minutes and QB the powerplay.
@@andrewmoulton7429 once Hutson gets here he’s going to QB the first unit and Matheson would be good for the second unit…. I totally disagree with Matheson not fitting the timeline.. Go look at all the Stanley cup winning teams you will always find a D man that’s in their middle to late 30s… even if Matheson loses a little bit of his speed he will still be a good skating D man that is important in the locker room… A voice like his is worth a lot and if he’s playing on the 3rd pair at that point it’s probably gonna bring good value to the team… Players that can skate like Matheson do not lose that smoothness in their skating they may lose some speed but he will always be a smooth skater… His skating is borderline elite if he even drops to NHL average he’s still a good D man lmao…
If they lost lindstrom or iginla they have yakemchuk or parekh. U have : celebrini, demidov locked top 2, then u have lindstrom, parekh, yakemchum, levshunov and silayev has a wild card. If u pick 5-7 u got pretty much the ‘’tier’’ of player.
@@quebecgkexellence9297 I agree...my top 7: Celebrini, Parekh, Levshunov, Lindstrom, Demidov, Iginla and Yakemchuk ...Demidov will fall a few spots because of the russian factor !!!
Tortorella is one of the worst coaches. He's a perfect fit for Philly. Garbage organization with a garbage coach. He's a coach that his tactics work for a short period but fizzles out cause he expects his team to run at 100% 100% of the time. You simply can't coach like that cause players will start ignoring you. He and Babcock are cut from the same cloth. That's not a good thing.
Trade Caulfield + Evans + 1st draft pick for Brady Tkuchuck. ..... THERE IS A 50% CHANCE THAT CAUFILED WILL SCORE 40 GOALS. ....only 50%........ THERE IS A 100% CHANCE THAT Brady Tkachuk WILL SCORE 30+. BUT Brady will be a huge power-forward inflicting pain & fear... Hockey is a game of skill, brains AND intimidation .... You should try to get all three from each player you have in your system or groom them that way ..... SCREW CONCEPTS that target skill only ...... ...... Have poweforwards that HIT EVERYTHING IN SITE AND REPOSSES THE PUCK when your team loses it..
Marchesseault plays like a 6 ft player Caufield like a 5'5 no comparison.Why are we even comparing the two Marchesseault makes 5 mil a year Caufield 8 mil one Caufield has yet to sniff a PLUS season. Claiming they are 6th best in league as a first line 5 on 5 is ignoring they are a MINUS meaning they must be even worse giving up goals. Slafkovsky has been gifted first line and PP already when VERY few other 19 year olds have been and that includes Lalfleur and Richer.So those other players accomplished more with less ice time not on the first line/pp and were a PLUS.Once Lafleur was the go to first line guy and Robinson in his second season similar to having a Matheson Guy was a 100+ player and a huge PLUS. Until our first line can prove they are a PLUS and AGE is no longer used as an excuse they will NEVER win a Stanley Cup.
Trade Caufeild ... + ( a D man + a draft pick ) for a top large .. gritty... intimidating player .... not Marner .. not Mathews .. not Necas ... not Zegras ....not Lafresnierre ....not Monahan ...... ...yes Brady Tkuchuck .... yes Svetchinikov ...yes R. Hintz ... maybe smallish Nylander
Montreal management does not understand or is willing to accept, that a TOP 4 FORWARD at 6-2/210 pounds with 25 goals and (10.0 hits per 60 minutes) Brady ......... is more valuable than a 5-9/175 pound 30 goal scorer Cole ... with (2.0 hit per 60 minutes) played.

@@doritosgaming1147 Where will you find the leadership that Matheson has??? When this team is contending a leader like Matheson is the exact player you are looking for if you don’t have it 🤦🏼♂️… Let’s trade players away just to try and find them again later? How does that make sense… Even if Matheson loses some of his speed he will still be great with his edges and still have smooth skating… right now his skating is borderline elite and if he drops to NHL average at 34-35 years old he would still be a great 5th or 6th D man with great leadership… when Matheson is David Savards age he’s still gonna be faster than David Savard is now 😂😂 you think Matheson is gonna become a bad skater in 3-4 years? Lol no. He may get a little slower on his straight away speed but will 100% be a faster skater than David Savard is now and if we were a playoff team right now David Savard would be a difference maker in a playoff series on the back end… If we were a playoff team and didn’t have Savard he would have been the exact d man we would give up assets for at the deadline to try and win a cup…
Slafkovsky the Beast!!!
He is big yes .. but he does not hit anyone.... so to me he is soft ... get some top 6 forwards that hit all the time
We finally have a star, potential superstar. Long time coming. He will get bigger and stronger.

Max is top notch.
If the Habs end up being a contender team playing with confidence Armia is one of the most dangerous player on the team .
Is Caufield better than Michael Ryder? Ryder's best season 62 pts 35 goals...
Je suis entièrement d’accord avec Maxime et Hossa est aussi pour moi la comparaison qui me vient en tête mais en plus grand !!!!
Respect ✊🏾 pour Maxime je ne croyais pas en mes yeux de dépisteur 😅lolll mais Lapierre for President or DG
I really hope that the theme song becomes the Habs goal song once the rebuild is complete. S I C K on the run!!
Markov had the most turn over in the league at times, D-men that play a lot will lead in those stats, just like Matheson.
I wouldn’t trade Caulfield for Tkachuk. From everything I read and hear, Caulfield is a great teammate and he’s extremely talented.
Then you know absolutely nothing about hockey.

Eyes surgery is amazing! Fast and painless. Upside is through the roof
Gulie reminds me of a young Chris chelios
Tony talking about Caufield and the cup in MTL is cringe😂
Slavkosky is choking his Linemates.
All those top minutes for 50 points!
Wtf you think Caulfield is struggling?
Anyone anyone..
49:17 😂
Look at Markov… and that was his knees!
Suzuki is shooting at more than 40% recently! No way he can score 50! 50 goal scorers shoot WAY MORE than Suzuki
Josh George's should have gotten the C, they never should have traded him
He’s also a first pick overall, which Caufield isn’t
Tony you’re the best.
Matheson seems out of position sometimes which can be easily fixable. Good west island boy, billingual, skates like the wind.
