I'm just sick of not having a real #1C. And year after year we seem to draft players that don't become one; since way longer then I can/want to remember. Now I get the draft is the draft yet still other teams have managed to find a real #1C in drafts after Habs picks. So if this team can get a center so I can stop being frustrated about that at the cost of having what we have now again in prospects in 4-5 years from now... yeah I bite but I will also (i hope,wish and pray) shut my yap about #1C for a bit too And the Only reason I include MaxPac in that (ridiculous) rain of picks is because he is older then any other current roster wingers with any "trade value" and I figure because of his Great contract he might "save" us a pick or have it swapped for something lower that in turn maybe will help not have as big of a hole there in a few years. Maybe a little also because I don't think the Habs can keep him in 2 years, so get something that is a real mountain (ha! Real Mountain!) need on this Team before we loose him for nothing.

dang it!! I just figure he is a #1C, and Chucky could get to 40, IMO, so give up a MaxPac and couple of 1st; for a #1C. I figure is the only way to get one. (edit)I would even go as far as 3x 1st and 1x 2nd but I know it's starting to sound like NHL??

Nicklas Bäckström for Max Pac + 2x 1st round picks. Would that work?

You know you kinda real smart.... You're a Habs Fan but the (mt)Real proof of that is You're a Habs Fan in TO!

I would do that without flinching. What JT would do for the middle of the ice on Habs Team is a thing that kick start teenager things AND ohhh! "the Leadership" he would bring to this Team...

"As far as what it could take to land him? Easy answer: A LOT. Realistic answer? The Canadiens 2018 and 2019 1st round picks, Juulsen or Mete, Danault or Gallagher, and one of Lindgren or McNiven." if I could I would try the 2x 1st round pick + MaxPac + pospect + 1x 2nd rond pick . might be good

I kinda have strange wakes where I think Babcock was coach of the Habs, must be for a faction of a second in the same dimension where the Isls didn't hire milbury, lol

I caught myself singing E-40 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zbw3KzgHBU) as I was reading your post, till I got to the end and I got my nope ( ) I don't think I am ready for the Habs being in the same basement as the Pens in and after the years of Mario was messed from the clutch and grab, hope to win a lottery or two in a year with a can't miss gen talent player. That is what Edmonton is doing. I don't want to sound like this and I will try to keep a piece of my optimism that MB can become a Pollack because Molson see that 'celling' in him, well I hope anyway. (post post): I would like to have a little credit for not calling any Habs upper brass by anything nasty going through my (sometimes, tiny) head

Stephane Laporte had a funny about that on Lapresse.ca "mon clin d'oeil" (http://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/le-clin-doeil-de-stephane-laporte/201707/10/01-5114882-mon-clin-doeil-du-mardi-11-juillet-2017.php) "Radulov a préféré aller jouer dans un pays dirigé par un Russe." ruff translation: Radu prefered to go play in a country run by a Russian. (edit) is that Markov's hold out?

I was thinking the same a bit back but I was WAY out the box and thinking he should take a sales/collections training course to help get his target in trades (might help w/ contact negs too, who knows). He always been saying that trades are hard yet several teams have managed to get themselves a '#1C' in his tenure as Habs GM. Of the to of my head I am thinking of Dallas twice and Nashville. It is kinda easy for me to s*!* on MB but then again I am not privy to any of the close door happenings. I don't know what Ottawa would hv asked for Spezza or Boston for Seguin or Columbus for Johanson (sp?). None the less, I agree, something has to change in his approach to bringing the cup back home.

all I saw was in bold and I said: Oh Yeah! who That?

So the Habs will open a cloning center next July and JT will be here one way or another.... maybe plan b can be Mario when he was eating a lot of Chunky soup

the Habs should be "gunning" for him right Now! I would trade MaxPac, the training center and 2x 1st rounds (edit) Habs have the money to build another 1 closer to me

My gran used to tell me to watch and play sports but not to look up to ppl who play sports; because ppl who did that for a living were not to bright. I think this was true in a time when it was okay to say: "jocks are dumb". So now that it isn't well they are "role models"
