BIG risk....pending UFA vs RFA - Symba007
That and the fact that I wouldn't do it for Suter because he doesn't have the offensive upside. If we're giving up Subban as well as the offense we'd almost be sure to get from our 1st, it has to be Weber if you ask me.

What if it Suter? - habby
Beign facetious, obviously if they could get Weber for that the Habs would be set forever on D. Weber will always be better than Subban and anchor that D.

no no no no no... - fidopro
I don't think it would be crazy not to do it, We could be in 27th or 28th if we lose even 2 out of the next 3.
Edit: I really won't be surprised if we're picking 2nd overall this summer. Ducks always play a good second half, and lets be honest, they're a far better team than the Habs lol.

Seriously? - habby
Love Weber. One of the best if not the best.
But this team needs to be built with the draft and young kids. If you trade your best young dman (when is the last time Habs had a guy like PK? Chelios?) and a lottery pick (again, when was the last time? Wickeneiser?), you're better short term, but you lose long term IMO.
Pacioretty, (Desharnais), Cole - Desharnais playing well - but need to upgrade
Bourque, Plekanec, _______ - need top 6 winger and top 6 centre
Kostitsyn, Eller, Leblanc / Gionta - Gionta could go for right price, if there is a taker
_______, ________, White -get some role players - Gaustad type players for 4 line
extra - Blunden
Players to move get rid of:
Gomez (anywhere - bury in minors if save cap space), Gionta if there is a taker, will free up more cap space - if not could fit on 3rd line with Eller and Kostitsyn, Moen is valuable at this deadline so expandable for descent return, Darche - bye, Nikolenin, bye
2 top 6 forwards plus some role / sand paper depth type players on 4th line.

Not sure. I'd do it in a heart beat - WaterBoy
Suter? PK and this years pick? Weber no question, but Suter, considering what he'll cost? I'm not saying no, but I'm not sure he's dominant outside of that system.

Might be true.
The way I see it.... he's a proven player where as PK has "potential".
If all or a even a few of these stories about his attitude are correct... then I don't care about potential... one less distraction to deal with.
Suter will be a pilar on D for years to come. Habs need one of those.

I don't disagree necessarly, but Weber is a pretty sure thing and young. I agree about Chelios, but the Wickeneiser thing kinda goes against your point.

This years 1st is the teams best shot at a franchise player, I wouldn't give it up for anything but an already established one. They'd have to be in their 20's at that.
