They could trade Petry and acquire a journeyman veteran D in the offseason, not having anyone to step in for Petry shouldn't be a reason to not deal him during a rebuild... and certainly not a reason to re-sign him to a ludicrous long term deal as he's sure to start declining

It's Bergevin.

No 6 years 40 millions contract?

No thank you lol

Fans hoping to keep him are the ones who will be complaining the most after year 2 of that deal

I know

Maybe he's saying all these things about Petry to up his value? I'm gonna remain hopeful until Monday @ 3:01 I suppose

Personally, I think it would make more sense to move Tatar now and Petry at the draft but regardless, if it were me it would be a matter of when, not if

Fair enough but when you start complaining about things you wished for, that's a little much

For example, I'm complaining about the possibility of a Folin/Alzner pairing while I will be at the game tonight, I sure as hell didn't wish for it!

I bought the tickets in October, was hoping for a better season while well aware of the possibility this game was gonna be meaningless.... what are the odds that Lindgren is in too?

He can always trade them later on....but prices are high now and might go down.

Hey, at least they play the kids.

Exactly, why delay things and risk lowering their value, risk injuries or even risk creating more false hope by being within 4 points of the playoffs come next trade deadline... this make up is 0 for 3 in the last 3 years, why invest any more time in mediocrity?

We are on the same page, mr. smurf. I don't think Julien is the right guy for a rebuild. Just look at KK and him being so happy to go play in the AHL. We are talking about a 3rd overall pick. Fleury is another wtf, along with guys like Weal playing on the pp.

Not saying he should take all the blame, but it should be bye-bye, sooner than later.

I almost forgot about Primeau. I don't like what he did with his goalies.

I agree 100%

I like the idea of Francis Bouillon behind the bench

Just to end the season or he would be your new coach?

If mtl is looking to trade Kovalchuk or Domi, maybe they should not be playing on the 3rd.

Whatever.

I guess.

But if you play Kovalchuk, you might as well showcase him.

I get the love fest and all, but unless the offers are garbage, they should trade their asset.

Domi they have control over him, so meh.

Yeah I'm kidding. The Panthers wouldn't do that.

Any reason we shouldn’t sign Halak as backup this summer? Add Lehner if Price gets traded
