Did Sharp have a NTC?

No. But when a guy helps you win 3 cup, and is a big part of that, you kinda take his input on moving him.

Not saying he did not want to come to MTL, or that MB offered a better package, more likely that MB could not clear cap space to take on his $5.9M cap hit.

I expect I will never see it again while Arizona wins five in the remainder of my lifetime.

so he can't trade.

we're not sure he can draft.

he can't clear cap space.

he's not very good at video games.

I have seen Tampa Bay and Carolina win it.

nothing at this point can hurt me anymore.

Let me guess:

Lars Eller

Guess Jim Nill didn't get the memo.
- Habsody

He's not as responsible with the cap

he didn't have much of a choice. After Byron got snatched off the waiver wire he had to go to Plan B

J'aime bien Byron soit dit en passant, je ne m'attendais pas à ce qu'il contribue autant...

2 points... 1, you're assuming that a great regular season is the ultimate goal. it's not. winning in the playoffs is, and the past 2 seasons were clear demonstrations that this team doesn't have the firepower up front. they were a step closer with Vanek but he left and they never replaced him. 2, you keep talking about hindsight, but we female doged and moaned in this thread all through June, July and August about how Bergevin did nothing to fix a glaring hole. we shut up in October/November because Dale Weise and Thomas Fleischmann combined for 15 goals.
- DoubleDown

No, I assume they have a great regular season to position themselves for more home games in the playoffs, knowing that win / lose is more based on Price than the team.

And I am further stating they decided to use Chuckie at center to help drive offense because they likely could not get another forward that could fit under the cap...

- Habsody

yeah he's been a nice surprise

Fair, but did Sharp want to come to MTL?

Regardless of he did not have an NMC, I am sure the Hawks likely got his input before trading him.
- Mashadar

It was mentionned by Bobby Mac that Sharp said no to a trade to Mtl.

so he can't trade.

we're not sure he can draft.

he can't clear cap space.

he's not very good at video games.

He's had a few good trades. Vanek not contributing anything that playoffs wasn't Bergevins fault. Everyone was having an orgy in here the day the trade happened. And I think getting Petry last year was a solid trade for them aswell.

and the Leafs the other 20

yes, you have 25yrs left to live
- Symba007

That's at least 15 more then I estimated.

- Pecafan Fan

There are few teams who can take on that cap hit (or even willing).

But that is fine... if the Habs sat with $6-7-8M cap space, I am sure that would help the club perform while they wit for a player to become available.

Weise is tied for 2nd in goals with Gallagher...ahead of Galchenyuk, Byron tied for 6th with DD, Eller and Flash


2 waiver pick ups
