He had a down year in the KHL. I think he’s much more of a Jori Lehtera than a Radulov. Could find a fit but I don’t think he’ll be a massive price in the NHL.

Hahahahaha I’m gonna go ahead and award you funniest poster of the 2015-2020 meller awards.

Quickly gonna say, Subban Weber is overexplored. Let’s leave it! The one trade besides this one. I honestly think it’ll be a more interesting discussion not to bring this one into it. Let’s leave it? and now I’ll think about my own answer

It’s a fine trade, one I’m neither happy or upset about. Shaw could have turned out on the upside end and been a 40 point agitator, easily. He didn’t do it, but you can see how it could have. The trade might not have worked, but it’s understandable. I still don’t understand trades like Subban Weber, and I didn’t at the time. But still there are those who’ll say I’m biased. I think I’m looking at it rationally but it is what it is. edit: Sorry for bringing up THE TRADE, it’s just meant as a comparison. I can easily see and understand the rationale behind the Eller Shaw swap. Personally, not so for theeeee traaaade.

That’s the thing. I think people forget that your team having a terrible offence means naturally the other team is likely to put up solid gold attending stats. We’re talking about the goalies as if it’s a complete individual stat. No doubt the goalie plays a huge part, but your own teams defence, and the opposing teams ability to score plays a massive amount into it. lets stop acting like it’s all in the goalies hands, and recognize that it takes the full team. We don’t have the full team. edit: Goaltending not gold attending Hahahah. Hilarious autocorrect

Highly highly doubt EDM would go anywhere near Alzner, because they’re trying to dump cap. Alzner is stupid expensive for what he brings. It would ruin the purpose of trading Klefbom for them.

New article on the homepage says the 10th is in play from Edmonton. What could we offer to receive both the 10th and Klefbom? What would Pacioretty and our 2nd do?

I’m no moderator, but I couldn’t agree more. Just as a regular poster, I’d love to see people only downvote comments that cross the line in terms of vulgarity or insults, or comments that take away from the discussion. IMO downvoting a comment simply because you disagree isn’t having a discussion. That’s why we have these boards. People have differing opinions and that’s the entire point.

True. But on the bright side, no matter who’s decision it was, it is a positive and should benefit the team in the long run regardless (as long as they live up to their track records). I hope they get a little help from both (Ducharme and Bouchard) for the draft. I’m sure they have a ton of intel of players in junior considering they coached against them. Good for both the short and long term.

After weeks or months of speculation, The Habs have locked down Joel Bouchard as their new head coach in Laval. Between Ducharme and Bouchard, I think we have a real solid duo that could be leading our team in 5 years. Their was some discussion that Bouchard could be hired in a management capacity, and I still wouldn’t be surprised to see him there someday, but I think being talented enough to both coach and manage is a great asset for Bouchard to have. Five years time, would anyone be surprised to see Ducharme as head coach of the habs, and Bouchard up as well, perhaps in a management position? Good for the future

Have they already had an end of playoff presser or is this it? If not I wonder if Bouchard has an announcement to make?

I figured you meant NHL level. Seems like coaches are more often groomed at the AHL level whereas management positions tend to be dealing with the entire organization in supporting roles

For Laval or Montreal?

That’s a great point, something worth keeps my in mind. Klefbom wouldn’t be that though!

I can easily see MB trading for both. Wouldn’t even be surprised if he kept him rather than flipping him.
