On paper, going with Matheson-Ghule
Hutson-Savard as the top four makes sense
then you are left with Wifi-Barron or Wifi-Mailloux. - deadpoulet
I predict that Mailloux will make the team before Hutson, he's a big RHD and he's ready for the NHL. They traded Kovacevic (RHD) to make room for him on the right side. Savard will be moved at the end of the year to open up a spot for Reinbacher.
Hutson might play some games in Montreal but will then be sent back to Laval, he needs to get stonger physically in order to be able to sustain a pro schedule (82 games). We already have a surplus of LHDs so there's no need to rush him, some LHD(s) will eventually be moved to make room for him next year.
Pairings (subject to change)
Guhle - Mailloux
Matheson - Savard (Reinbacher next year)
Xhekaj - Barron
