Cautiously optimistic about the Habs this season.
It seems good on paper and from what I've seen and read about in the off-season, but ya never know.

e: at least Galchenyuk is back in

How has Galchenyuk been? Does he still skate awkwardly when dropping speed?
I wouldn't have thought he'd drop down to 4th line duties, I saw a highlight goal of his not too far back as a Sens and thought he was on the rebound.

I'm thinking Matt Murray might not have been worth $6.25m per.

I've always found him to be a bit overrated.
It seems to me that once he loses confidence, he goes on a downward spiral fast.
When he's on, he'll steal a game or two.

Yeah I'd say that is accurate.

I think his strength as a goalie is reading the play. He'll usually be in the right position to make a save. But his body control/glove control are big weaknesses.

I remember the 2nd goal (maybe 3rd) in that 7-1 blowout, he was stuck high due to a broken play, and he was trying to awkwardly move his glove across his body to anticipate where the shot was going when all he had to do is bring it down towards the puck.

I think 7 games is long enough to declare Matt Murray the worst goalie in Sens franchise history. Never has 6’4 man looked so small in net

$6.25mil for 4 years lol

He certainly plays small. I think he will bounce back for a month and then go back to being terrible again.
Bang for buck, he's probably at the worst end of that spectrum.

Would it be possible to just convert him to a defensively responsible winger position at that point?
