Lol! We should abreviate it to: SAC Easier to type.

It's sad but it is what it is: Pacioretty -SAC-Scherbak Domi-SAC-Gallagher Lekhonen-SAC-A.Shaw Delaurier-SAC-Byron

DON, please, just stop, I know you always try to see the good in everything this organization does, a part of me commends that effort on your part. But this time, we dropped the ball here, we have traded the more talented, more skilled, and more productive player and we get some intangible upgrades, a speed boost, and some extra cap space. Just get in the room filled with most of the hockey world that just doesn't get why this just happened, and sit down with the rest of us. Don't go in the other room where only Bergevin, a couple of his lackey's and a shamed Owner sit all by there lonesome, smoking cigars laughing about how the world will eat crow when Domi becomes a 75 point player. I beg you, stop this crusade, it is madness to see this trade as anything less than it is in its very simplest form, Unnecessary and not an Upgrade.

Here I am, stuck in the draft lottery with you... This Stealers Wheel remix needs a bit of work.

This is now my official template for every Habs line. Pacioretty - Somebody at Centre - Scherbak

Habs world logic: We hate the Subban trade because he is an all around better player. Some guy with an opinion: Well, Weber scored over 3x the amount of goals that Subban did, and this team needs to score goals. Habs world logic : Yeah but Subban creates offense, look at those assists. Montreal trades Galchenyuk for Domi: Habs world logic: We hate that trade, we need to score goals and Galchenyuk does it better. Some guy with an opinion: Yeah but their points per game are the same.... Habs world logic: Something about defensemen vs forwards?

I don't understand why the same people that are dumping on Domi's goal totals are the same people that argued against acquiring Shea Weber's superior goal totals. Subban had 6 (!) goals in his last year as a Hab while Weber had 20 for Nashville. "Oh but it is overall offense that matters" they said. But now we get Domi with identical points per game as Galchenyuk, but it is terrible because he can't score. Talk about hypocrisy

I'n saying he only had 5 last year He also scored 9 goals the year before The fact his shooting percentage has fallen from 11.5 as a rookie to 8.3 in his second year and 6 this year after his hand injury in his second year is the biggest concern Do you think he can get back to the 15-20 range? Thats where he's going to need to be... plus outproduce Galchenyuk on assists... for this to be a good deal.

Fair warning, he has never been wrong about anything, just ask him and he'll tell you

I would take a bet on that !

I am actually looking forward to it. As far as entertainment enjoyment goes, I am enjoying this ride: the more drama the more fun. I think that come September, we will have a playoff team

11 game sample sizes? Really? And 4 empty net goals isnt a negative. Only scoring 5 goals against real goalies is the negative. If he had 24 goals and 4 wmpty netters no one would care.

I’m just hoping there is some team(s) out there very high on Zadina and willing to overspend to get him.

I don't know what worries me more Bergevin and the draft or Bergevin July 1st with 14mil.

SACs down the middle, SADs on the rear left

I'm not as jazzed as I was a week ago, that's for certain.

Advanced numbers wise Galchenyuk has an edge on Domi in driving 5v5 production. Domi is better defensively 5v5 however that difference is not big enough to offset the following. Galchenyuk is much better on the pp Galchenyuk is much better at 4v4 and 3v3 Besides defence... The only real place domi has galchenyuk is that hes better at creating shots in the slot for teammates. (Galchenyuk is much better at taking his own shots in the slot area). Basically domi is a better playmaker. Overall its a downgrade though.

I just don't think people understand that these trades don't address team needs which angers people more. I don't have a problem with domi, if we got him for draft picks and prospects i would be ok with it. But you are trading galchenyuk because you say he doesn't address team needs at center, so why trade him for the same problem? Domi doesn't address our team need at center either. If you can't get what you want for galchenyuk keep him put him at center and ride and die with him there. Also if you're going to trade you best bargaining chip you do it to address your teams biggest needs. But again he didn't do that. Edmonton offered the 4th pick and Draisaiti for PK. Bergevin said no and tried to get more from edmonton. But then he takes Weber for PK straight up. Again doesn't address needs but creates holes. I don't have a problem with either domi or weber, but they don't address our team needs. In Bergevin 5 years here when has he address our team needs?

Your logic is bad. I addressed it. The only forwards with less than 10 goals and with 35 or more assists are Max Domi and Henrik Sedin. Unless we think, boy, now that Max Domi is here, he's gonna put up 50+ assist seasons, this is not a good thing. Except to you, since you are trying to find some weird point of hypocrisy.

You mean like the logic if trading one of your best trading chips without filling your biggest need since you’ve been on the job??? How’s that logic for you???

The points per game argument is flawed for this reason. Chucks 18 and 19 year old years he didnt score much thus bringing down his average. Domi's 18 and 19 year old years he was still in the ohl. Compare apples to apples just the last three seasons and chuck scores more points per game.

Probably because 6 for a defenceman and 6 for a forward are very different totals. Weber is one of the best defencemen in the league for being able to score 20 goals. A forward scoring 20 goals is... great if you are Paul Byron. If you are a forward and can't put 10 pucks in the back of the net, you usually shouldn't touch the top six. Domi scored only five goals on a goalie last season. You know who did that for us? Joe Morrow.

Bergevin actually used Tie Domi's time in Toronto as an argument for why Max Domi will be good for Montreal. The IQ was already low.

What does flaked mean?

A Domi in Montreal? Won't that cause a dangerous drop in the city's average IQ level?

No joke. Houle/Corey/Tremblay owe us about a decade of good hockey.

The Tim Thomas controversy was one more media driven and Bruins owner/Mgmt srivwnz Obama didn’t revoke the invite, because Thomas didn’t attend, or tweet our absurd responses like a 9 year old who feels they have been insulted. i have no issues with athletes using their position to take a political stand, or create awareness for what they believe in. I for one think it’s a shame most hockey players are to afraid of rocking the boat to take a stand when at times they probably should - even if it’s to their own detriment. In ability to go against the status quo, out of fear of rocking the boat, is the reason why the NHL had the weakest union until the the early 90’s and guys like Eagleson were able to rip off players, while guys like Harvey who took a stand got blacklisted. But than I was a big fan of Mohammed Ali growing up, for both his ability as a boxer and the stand he took. I also didn’t have an issue with kaepernick - it’s too bad his peers didn’t support him when he first started his protests. On the other hand i do have an issue with a wing but leader of the free world who behaves like an adolescent anytime anyone criticizes him or has different beliefs than him.

That’s the same nonsense I heard after the Sergechev trade/failed Markov/radulov re-signings and idiotic Alzner signing. I think come September we may have a team that would have trouble competing for the AHL playoffs.
