Anybody else want the Habs to target Matt Duchene on July 1st. He and Kotkaniemi would be a decent 1/2 punch and allow Domi/Drouin to go back to wing.

At 9 million?

Nate Thompson on the first line.....

Why not have Kotkaniemi up there?

Everybody should target him. He's a great player.
- BashCH

I wouldn't.

So who's giving a lot of bjs?

I have the same question, let me know of you find out

He's not an elite number 1 tho. I don't know how many teams will want to pay him 9 mil a season.

Probably not good enough without the puck.

So dumb

Are they sure that Shaw is cleared to play??

At that price I wouldn't.

If I spend that much money on a player, I want him to be a role model, a leader, something Duchene is not. good player, but not the kind I'd make my go to guy.

weber and price are going to have horrible contracts in 3-5 years. I don't think you can wait for kotkaniemi to grow into the 1st line centre role. I'm not a fan of the 9 mil for duchene either, but thier options are limited.

I don't think adding another bad contract is the way to go

Spending 9M on Duchene won't bring them the cup. Could (frank) them up long term though...

Looks like MB finally traded for a #1 center....

I think they are (frank)ed long term anyways. i think they have a 3-4 year window. Unless the cap goes way up. Paying Price 10.5 million at 35 when hes an average at best goalie is going to be hard to overcome.
