Would you guys trade the 5th for Drouin?

The tickets don't go on sale until Monday I thought?

Booked my flight and hotel. Will be on the computer at ten in the morning to get the tickets.

Should that not work out I guess its a week of golfing.

Hamhuis at a very good home town discount only with a limited NTC.
Pedan could be dealt as an RFA. Larsen will get a roster spot as prolly the 7 D.
As for UFA's it could mean eg JM JV etc grooming in Utica.
Players like Higgins & Burrows will be sent down if clear waivers.
I cannot see much value for either unless we eat some salary.
Late round picks is the best we can expect.

I think Larsen is going to play a bigger part than everyone thinks. He was 5th overall in d-men scoring in the KHL.

No.

From what I've read. Tkachuck has the same hockeysense as his father and could be a terrific player going forward.

Im kinda leaning towards him.

Drouin holding out like a baby just shows his commitment. I dont want little whiny Bytches on this team. I want heart a soul.

Would I trade Tkschuk or Dubois for Drouin? NO, I would not

I agree, excited to see what Larsen and Tree bring this year

Fair enough. Thought I'd ask. If I'm Montreal I'd be offering the #9 pick for him and adding something small if I need to.

I think after his playoff performance so far Drouin's stock will be on the rise. He is really getting it done on the ice. I wonder if there is a chance Yzerman ends up keeping him and sorting it out.

If we trade Tanev for a pick we will have gone full Oiler. All forwards , no D. Who would you have penciled in for the top 4 next year?

Free agency or trades.

If we can manage to trade Edler, i say sign Hammer. Otherwise, bye bye

Who & how do u propose that to be done? Thx

Hopefully so. Atm he has a roster spot & won't clear waivers.

Fair enough but Dubois is still 17 and crushing guys, I like Brown but just can't see him being a serious consideration at 5.
- belcherbd

I agree with this 100%

Very risky . I agree. I just have a feeling at the end of next year we will be saying we could have had him.

You are such a size queen!

I think Edler is better than Hamhuis.

I seen him play . He is good. But yeah .

Same, but we are in a transitional phase right now. The Pick we can get for Edler far outweighs the benefits of keeping him over Hammer. I highly doubt he waives to sign, but doesn't hurt to try.

In a heart beat but thats a dream. He won't go that cheap.

- Retinalz

And what pick is that & what guarantee do u give? 😂😂
Never knew picks panned out so easily.
JB didn't want picks for Hammer so why would he want the same for Edler.
How do u get around his NTC?

I seen him play . He is good. But yeah .
- VANTEL

He scares Me because I could easily see him being a 3rd line centre

One thing Benning came out and said is they will target teams up against the cap to see if they can get some lowball deals. Rangers are a team like that, and they have some good D

I think I'd prefer Drouin over the 4th. Especially if I'm the Habs.

A few months ago I think Yzerman would have happily taken the 5th overall for Drouin
