I'm still waiting for Patches to be traded

they will sign him if they feel they won't get fair value via a trade

Preaches patience and avoiding negativity. Bashes a really good trade for a player he knows nothing about.

Armia is a very solid return, we received tremendous value in that trade.

"Armia still hasn’t signed a contract. As of today the Canadiens dealt Bourque and over $5 million of cap relief to a Cup contender for a 4th and 7th round pick, and dead cap space for 2 seasons"

Well if you're going to be like that... then technically it's 1.3 million in cap relief over two years because we bought out Mason and Armia isn't signed to a contract.

Should'nt be akward him being the captain and all.

the way Bergevin manages his ship, I fully expect Pacs to be at the golf tournament in September.
- Symba007

I expect Patches to be at the tournament, pulled off the greens before the 9th and told he has been traded.

.....

Legitimate question, no?

Bergevin will dismiss this and ask his PR guy to come up with a BS excuse as to why the media falsely reported the Pacs trade roomers

And they'll ask for his jersey back.

And say that Max wanted to stay here all along, it's a great honour and privilege for him, very proud captain, vanilla flavour, etc.

"But I drove here with my car, you can see my Presti house from here.."

Shut up max and get in the cab

I think the tree huggers call it 'climate change' now.

It's not called 'global warming' anymore, because 'climate change' covers all the bases..

he had a NTC though did he not?

And? These guys are moved all the time.

Yea something like that!

I hope Rychel cracks the lineup, also hoping Scherbak gets better linemates than Shaw and DLR... Shaw and Byron will miss the first 4-6 weeks of the season right?
- obie

Well if Pacioretty gets traded, Scherbak moves into a better position.

That's most likely the idea.

I also think there's a chance they'll try an improved role for DLR and move Drouin to the wing.

Rychel and Deslauriers as the other forwards.... I don't see how Peca fits in there.

And? These guys are moved all the time.

They are an emotionnal bunch

I think he will. At the same time the offers need to be there. Maybe he waits a little, just like Duchene. No need to botch the trade.

Waiting on the Karlsson dominooooooooooooes

If Dallas lands Karlsson, we should try and get Dallas to send us a good prospect while taking on Jason Spezza and his horrible cap hit for a year.

Might as well use that cap space.

Mathias Brunet wrote about it, I thought it was a good idea.

Sure why not? A lot of teams have poop deals. I don't expect much coming back, but something is better than nothing.

It's only for a year too.... but it would make it possible for them to acquire Karlsson without being over the cap by ALOT.

If Dallas lands Karlsson Vegas will be looking elsewhere for a D, that's for sure and the options are very limited now

And the Stars have over 10 in cap space, they could just keep Spezza for the year but you never know... I doubt they give up anything good considering they don't have to move him out
