  1. Just now, The Chicoutimi Cucumber said:

     

    I dunno, we got rid of our most exiting player in return for a more boring guy who isn't any better overall - that sounds super exciting to me.

     

    Galchenyuk has been brutal. He'd better pick it up or DD will be back in his spot before we know it

    DD was already on the PP :(

  2. That question is exactly what is wrong with the media. I'm glad Pacioretty didn't elaborate anymore on that dumb question.

    I don't think it's dumb, it's a great question. Last year showed that when the habs needed leadership the most, Max wasn't there, and somehow PK got the focus for lack of leadership. Max may end up being the worst captain in canadiens history.

  3. This might not be directly to do with the habs, but I recently got rid of my cable because I never used it, I was wondering if anyone has ever gotten any online viewing packages and what their experiences are with it.

    For example, can I get all the habs games, or will there be blackouts of certain games.

  4. Yeah, let's forget the fact that nashville had a decent coach and we had le idiot. Let's also discount the fact that nashville had elite NHL goaltending while we had a rookie who at best is a viable backup, but most likely a career AHLer and Ben friggin scrivens.

    Let's also ignore the facts and stats that show Subban to be better defensively than Weber and that Weber was a no show for game 7 of the playoffs, or that despite being in the league for a shorter duration, subban has had more playoff success than Weber. Oh, let's also ignore that Subban has scored clmore critical winning goals in the playoffs than weber.

    Lastly let's ignore that weber's defensive partner is a Norris candidate who is better than Weber.

    But aside from that great analysis!!

    I was just about to write all this. I can take analysis of the Weber/Subban trade and their performance, but what HF1989 said is what I've seen so commonly as a response when people show the metrics that prove Subban is actually good defensively. They can't equate that players with the punk more make more mistakes.

    Thanks for always saving me the trouble of typing so much Hab29, between you and CC, I rarely have to type. :halm:

  5. The thing that confuses me is that most are saying Nashville won the trade but yet nobody defended the selection of Weber over PK for team Canada. And similarly, people that chirp about how bad Subban is are the same ones that are laughing at the Habs for making the trade. Talk about a polarizing figure in PK Subban. Someone on this board said it best: He is weirdly overrated and underrated at the same time.

    That being said, I will never change my loyalty to the CH, no player or manager is bigger than the team. They all come and go but the team will remain

    You don't need offense from the D-men when you have a stacked team like Canada has, Montreal is the farthest thing from stacked offensively so that's why what Subban brought was so needed.

  6. I am not surprised neither, after PK didn't come back from his neck injury I felt he wouldn't come back. Weber's contract and hockey stats are arguably comparable. PK is a special person, but hockey wise I think the CH will be OK in the short term.

    I have not seen much posted (may have missed it) on what this trade and the Eller trade mean for the expansion draft. I think that is where it makes some business sense. It seems like MB is building a new core to protect and looking to improve that core.

    My only hope is that we now get that top-6 right-winger we all covet. Only then will the PK trade be more digestible: if we end-up with a cup contender team. Anything less than that is failure to me.

    We could had had PK AND a new top 6 winger, the PK/Weber trade doesn't affect the ability to get a top 6 winger so I can't see why people keep bringing this up. To make a bad trade to hope to get a better trade later on but using no resources from the first trade, unless we're trading Weber away.

  7. So after thinking on this more, I realized something. Weber doesn't have a NTC/NMC. For everyone worrying about the cap hit for 9 more years, if Weber doesn't work out, don't protect him for the expansion draft. Without a NMC/NTC there's nothing forcing us to protect him. We have a 1 year test period to see if he really has declined, if he has, he will be picked up in the expansion draft.

    Seeing more upside to this now.

    I hope this is hyperbole...I really do :(

  8. That's great, trade a player entering his peak years for a declining asset who you hope to God you can unload in 4 years. Wow, awesome management.

    Thanks CC saves me the trouble of typing this out.

  9. And what don't you really like about Weber's contract? Did you see the amount of signing bonuses in it and how front loaded it is, so the last several years are quite low $ and if he retires in mid-30s Nashville is stuck with cap hit/bonuses...or something like that.

    Why should we as fans care about money unless it's salary cap based. Should we be happy that Molson saves some money?

  10. Also saw it noted Bergevin was hoping to tweek the defense, but I didn't think anything this radical and that a scoring winger should be the target for Friday.

    Expectations are Bergevin trades Gally and Plek for more third line wingers.

    Then in a surprising to none move trades Price for Ludqvist because Hank had more wins than Price last season.

  11. Good deal for the team for next several years and supposedly got rid of a player who rubbed more than one teammate the wrong way. 14 PP goals for Weber last year...nice! Weber won NHL leadership award and we all know his other teams he helped win. Not many GMs would pick Subban over Weber in any ranking is there?

    So who got the best all-round player for 2016-17 season? Y'all keep going on about the "Window" and grit/leadership were lacking and Weber-Shaw should help with that, especially once Emelin is traded.

    This team got worse, that's how I know this trade is bad.

  12. Poor Bergy, makes a big trade get crapped on, makes small trade for Winger get crapped on...what do fans want? Havent the vast majority been whining for couple years for a big trade and now that happens they not fond of one?

    Muller and Weber should help the PP; while Subban will be firing pucks off Nashville endboards and off teammates heads.

    Was rumoured Bergevin has tried to deal away Subban for long time now.

    Weber is likely total opposite team player and leader than Subban and out side of Montreal many see this as good move fro Habs.

    This is the defination of a shit post, ing grade A shit post.
