Again, some mediocre center plug into the middle 6 is not going to make or break the Habs season.

If the Habs are taking the picks, use them wisely, get talent and go full rebuild. They should be doing that, regardless if KK is part of the team or not.

Anything else should be the defacto end of MB sooner than later.

sorry but with Price on roster, Gally, Petry, Edmonson, Hoffman, Anderson, Toffoli...they cannot go full rebuild...that' crazy talk.....i think KK is not happy in Mtl....he signed a trolling RFA contract that had a $20 bonus and a final # of $6,000,015....he deleted the CH insignia from the twitter feed....maybe the 2 picks and shopping them around is the best option..maybe a 2nd 3rd and a young D man gets a better deal done for a more reliable C...either way the KK era looks to be over ..unless MB cannot get a decent deal then he must swallow hard and keep KK for at least a year.

We had a good run this year under Bergevin, but this summer has been terrible and the team has no foreseeable way to be competitive next year, I think we should have somebody new for the rebuild. No more "5 year plans".

Anyway good for KK, but (frank) him. We're much better off getting Carolina's mid round picks than taking an albatross contract of somebody who doesn't seem to want to play here. He has potential but I think there's even odds he goes bust as much as he goes boom.

to be fair, that isn't saying a lot lol... but yeah Bergevin definitely has a few phone calls to make right now, and evaluate all his options.

my point was more than it wouldn't be costly in terms of assets to acquire strome and he has no long term contract implications if he totally blows.

yeah, with Marc's chicago contacts this could be an option he's looking into, you may be on to something...

the emblems are too big for my taste. or at least look that way on TV. add in they are generic for every team and it bugs me.

just looking at hats rn, i saw 5 bear hats i like far better in one page.

I haven't seen much of him, what's his downside? Bad defensively and at 5 on 5 in general? Doesn't seem strong on face offs either, but point totals as you said are better than KK's, not that it s any feat worth mentioning. That said he's big and better than all of our center options except Suzuki of course. That said I don t really see the point of getting him, we'd still be far from good enough to even make the playoffs.

skating is his downside. i mean every aspect of it. he is okay-ish once he gets going but he has no burst at all so he is a liability defensively because of it. he isn't big. he is tall. huge difference.

Ah gotcha. Bad skating probably wouldn't mesh with Montreal s transition system anyway.
