I think they will sign Bozak, keep pacs, trade Benn for a career AHLer, sign a couple more useless D's and Bergy will go on vacation in stLouis des haha for a month

I really don't see us signing Bozak..to me, that's the less likely of the 4...

keep thinking it will be Stastny


Didn't Eklund wrote something on Seguin to MTL ? lol even less likely than JT

Stastny would be horrible, just good enough to have them picking 11th overall

Depends if the NYI are willing to trade their 1st round pick for Pacs

Would be funny if Pacioretty ends up playing with Tavares in Long Island.

Maybe they will have to do something like that to convince him to stay there.

He wrote about a "a centreman from the pacific division".

So basically Toews or Spezza.

That wouldn't be bad for my keeper's league.

I went with guys that are overpaid and would put the Habs in trouble towards the cap and/or would disappoint greatly.

You know, for realism.

I don't hate this at all.

You think he's still available at 11th?

that's about where he will go according to most mock drafts....but who knows, I never saw any of these guys play

True but I still don't expect Pacioretty to get moved at the draft... Byron might though

Byron? One of the few who never stopped caring and gave it his all?

If Bergevin trades him after spending an hour talking about attitude... It would be beyond ridicule.

Pacific division?

You have a short memory. He did a few clever moves :

Buyout Gomez (nobrainer, I know)

Trade Gorges for a 2nd (could've been even better if not for Gorges loyalty/refusal to go to Toronto for Cody Franson)

Cole for Ryder and a pick

Moen for Gonchar

Vanek for Collberg and a 2nd

Petry for 2 2nds

Sign Radulov

Trade Eller for 2 2nds

The thing is that the bad moves outweigh the good ones.

He lost the Subban trade and the Sergachev one won't be looking any better if they stubbornly try to make a center out of Drouin.

He was too hard in negotiations for Subban and insisted on a bridge deal instead of a 5+ year deal that would have cost less than the 8 year 9M one.

He played hard ball with Markov when he had nobody to replace him. He underestimated Radulov's love for money.

He stupidly traded two 2nds for Shaw.

He didn't find a replacement for Price in 2016 when the team needed it.

He didn't shut down Weber to get a proper surgery in the Fall of 17, and instead lost him for 80% of the year.

The only thing going against him is that he's 29. I don't see others GMS giving a lot for him, so keep him.

Je l'ai pas assez vu jouer pour commenter bien honnêtement, mais clairement il n'a pas d'affaire dans le top10.

Tu peux aller à l'encontre de mon opinion, mais rappelle-toi le blue-chip argument avec EE
