I think Anaheim would probably listen offers for Getzlaf and/or Perry for PK Subban. Both are UFAs at the end of the short season. Also, it might be a long shot but Boston might be interested to reunite the brothers, if so, Dougie Hamilton would be the perfect fit to replace PK.

Only issue here is that the Habs don't have the payroll to accomodate that. Any deal whereby Habs take on salary would have to involve either Bourque or Kaberle going the other way. And, with the loss of Pacioretty for what some feel will be 5 weeks, the chances of Bourque being dealt are pretty slim.

If you read the actual words I wrote to start this, the Malkin or Crosby deal was one for which the Habs wouldn't b skewered.

When a post is hypothetical (other than of the Colton Orr for Malkin variety) the spirit of the post is that if you think the subject deal is way off, then what more needs to be there?

PK is at least a top 3 defenceman, maybe a true #2, Pleks is one of the better #2 centres in the league. That is not ridiculous as a starting point.

yes.... it is an absolutely ridiculous starting point.....
