Tres cher, non?

The Habs, surprisingly, are in a good position cap-wise. They could afford him.

Gionta is UFA next year, Habs are not contender next season, he is not a problem long term.
- Symba007

I agree.

I was saying picking up Briere on a short term deal and trading Gionta for a pick(whatever that might fetch at the deadline or prior to) means we get an extra asset out of it.

I would prefer Janne Niinimaa

He is using the habs as leverage to sign with the flyers

Everyone thought MB would move before/during the draft...don't know if he'll move someone prior to training camp.

St-Louis would be a good fit for him I think.

Its settled. DD and a 2nd for Perron. I'll call Ek.

Is he a FC? No, then the joke does not work.

If he can move Gionta, they'll have $14M left to sign two top-9 wingers.

True. I did not think it through enough

Plus if he trades Markov for a big shut down D he'll save more...

And if he trades Price we can buy the Coyotes.

Love that idea

Gonchar and Streit just got $5M+ contracts, meaning that old PP specialists still have good value. If the only thing Bergevin can get from Markov is a shutdown D, then (frank) him.

I think Lecavalier has the money to that himself.

...and have them as our farm team? No thanks, the utility bills alone would bankrupt us.

Markov is by far the slowest of those three. That being said, I'm thinking big D and pick/prospect.

He's pretty good ya.

And Shane Doan, finally, a big center.

also put up the most points out of the 3

So you're the Dallas GM right now, you're just (frank)ing itching to ice Cody Eakin as your #2 Center?

Gionta might be a tough sell but I can't imagine Desharnais is impossible to move.
- Leito49

Eakin is younger, cheaper, has very similar results to DD last year plus a higher upside......so......no....I doubt he would even consider replacing Eakin with DD.
