Is Sean Burke still the goalie coach in Phoenix? Or does it depend on Tippett? He's done a pretty good job there over the years.

I was thinking Burke because he was such a tall goalie that maybe Price can relate pretty well. Plus, Burke has done well in Phoenix with Smith and Bryz.
Wilson is a good choice as well.

Hey guys, I just snagged Max Pacioretty in my most important pool and while I'm obviously very familiar with him I was hoping to to get some predictions from the experts on everything Montreal who watch him every night. What do you guys see in production coming from him over the next 3 years or so? pts only.

There's a bit of a debate within Habs fans about him. A lot think he can hit 70-80 points (he was on a 72-point pace this past year).
I'm one of those who belong to the other group. He's a streaky player (when he's streaking good, he's great getting things like eight goals in eight games, but when he's bad, he's horrible, like 10 games with no goals). He benefitted greatly two seasons ago to injuries and a hot teammate. He also sees less ice time in the third when the team is leading (less ice time equals less chance of getting points).
I think he's more of a 60-65 point guy, who once every few seasons might get to 75-80.
Just keep in mind I'm in the minority on this.

2011-12: 65 points in 79 games (67 in 82)
2012-13: 39 points in 44 games (73 in 82)
Reasons for concern:
-This year he started showing a bit of a tendency to prefer the perimeter. He is talented and making plays away from the net is obviously easier on the body. Bad habit since he is far more effective using his size around the net. I think he works it out since he is still so young.
-Even though he only missed 7 games over the past 2 years, I do consider him an injury concern. He returns quickly from injuries but he is always banged up with some kind of problem. This can add up over time.
Reasons for optimism:
-He does have the "it" factor when it comes to putting up points. Even though I didn't like him playing farther away from the net he still found ways to appear on the score sheet.
-The Habs are mainly developing top-end centermen and Pac is unchallenged on the wing. Opportunity is never a concern.
Final verdict: Expect 60-65 points per season. His last two years suggest he could do better than this but I am worried that some of the injuries stretch out a bit more. Plus, I prefer being pessimistic with projections.

Thank you for the great breakdown guys. That is about what I wanted to hear. He has a great contract in my pool so 70pts would be awesome for me. Thanks again!

I remember our discussion about the Habs needing one guy on D to tag team with Gorges on the PK and also play some PP2 minutes. This weekend I was talking to my brother and realized that former Hab Ryan McDonagh would be exactly what the team needs to fill those minutes.
Ouch.

According to Kypreos Subban is going to be named the Norris winner. Time for him to do the Evander Kane shot with the piles of money in his hands...

I have it on good word that if true Subban will accept his award and then immediately call Bergevin to begin negotiations on an extension...

Drewiske re-signs for two years. Not sure about this one. I like the player but the team has too many bodies. I guess this means Weber is out while Drewiske plays the #7 press box role.
