Trade deadline deals have not been bringing in much lately and that is what I am basing it on. Last few years nobody overpaid for rentals and that is all he would be. A signed Taveres is worth a fortune, a pending UFA not so much. So no, not shaking my head

How about we look at this from a different view and see how it feels? Let's say that Markov had decided to retire at the end of the season, would that feel better? It is basically what he has done, so stop whining and move on. As for what to do with 8mill in cap space, that is a no brainer. What until trade deadline and use it on rentals, Pleks and pick to NYI for Taveres at deadline seems possible. You kind of need that cap space if you plan on doing any deadline purchases.

Thank you for your time and service General. I will miss you in the lineup but only hope your future in the KHL is enjoyable. One of my favourite players of the modern era. Sad to see you go but am happy it is to the KHL and not another NHL team. You will always be a Hab and a true Montreal citizen! Hope to see you back for a jersey raising ceremony in the near future! You deserve one! (Not getting into the doom and gloom BS here. thread is titled tribute, not woe is me, shaking my head. so some class fellow posters)

Just watch him go out and sign David Desharnais again.

Absolutely shocked he couldn't close the deal on Radulov. He should have been signed before the season ended. One word for this guy, Putz!!!

I would give Markov the terms he wants but without a no trade clause allowing him to be salary dumped if need be at the end of the season. He is an important piece still this year. Radulov same thing. Give them their asking price but refuse any form of no trade clause.

440 am, Work at 9. Worth every minute!

Listening in on Rags radio in Italy and they called that Kreider trip a penalty.....

I was speaking tongue in cheek there. lol. Didn't think they would ever mess with 'merica's pass time the way the have with Canada's passion. Maybe now they can fix football and have a field goal competition to end ties, or maybe bring in tires for the QBs to throw balls through. #iftitaintbrokedontfixit Just imagine the PGA ties being ended with a round on the local mini-putt course. "Woods is stepping up the the 6th tee. In the past the windmill has caused trouble for so many golfers..."

What I don't like about baseball is the way the game can drag on for hours in extra innings. I have come up with the perfect solution to this problem. I suggest that if after 9 innings the game is tied the teams play one inning with 6 men on the field and nobody allowed to line up outside the infield before the pitch . If after that extra inning the game is still a draw the game should be decided in a home run derby! Now that would be exciting!

Lots of bottom line tweaking but where is the big gun?

CJ knows we need a nasty line to go far in the playoffs. We have been soft in the past for sure. We know can put out a bottom line of Ott Shaw and Big Mac that should mess with teams heads. If we land Vanek or Duchene we are in the running. See how the morning pans out. Filppula would fill the bill too and the fact he said no to Toronto make me like him.

Habs win the next 40 games.

Wait, Desharnais is not the top C? Where's the love?

He's back....
