McPhee bone head trade??

Are you kidding me MONTREAL!!!

Your team and especially management is the laughing stock of the league.

Good luck on your return, playoffs for you are a VERY DISTANT MEMORY!

Trade him back to Vegas for Brannstrom

It's not a cap dump ... Vegas retains 9.% of his salary for all 3 years.

and the Habs 10% of Pacs salary for one year, first year is a write off then MTL will have a cap hit of 4.8M for Tatar (instead of 5.3)

It's a plus for when they're ready to trade Tatar

Are you kidding? Despite the rant, there's both capital letters AND punctuation.

Definitely not rob121.

Paragraphs, too. You'll never catch rob using one of them dirty paragraphs.

so next year, Poehling, Suzuki, Brook, Fleury and Ikonen could make the jump to the AHL/NHL unless the last 4 go back to juniors as 20 years old. Poehling could stay with his NCAA team until he feels he can make the Habs without going to the AHL.

This year will see a few guys with some potential head to Laval, the real waive will start next season.

are you saying we don't have to watch games until then?

With all the PP time available, I think yes

A 5th junior season for Fleury? That's a bit too many He'd hit 21 2 months into the season.

Also I think I've read that we have his rights until next year only.

Maybe, but it's strategic use. It's not some Therrien ''gotta learn respect so I bench you''.

so the "truth hurts".... I'm not saying he didn't ask for a trade, I don't know what's true but I do know GMMB also was the one that said PK wasn't going to be traded... just throwing it out there...


The GM hated Patch the media treated him like crap so I wouldn't be surprised if he did ask for a trade..

Big win for the rebuilding Habs. A team that is having difficulty attracting Free Agents lands a top-6 forward inked for the next 3 seasons, as well as a 100 point OHL star and a second rd pick. Haven't had anything good to say about the habs for a long time, but this is a big win for them who gain youth, and shed their riskiest contract.

Agreed
