EMELINATOR Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Louis Jean mentioned on TVA that the Blues had offered Robert Thomas and/or Jordan Kyrou for Max Pacioretty. I would be all over this, especially if it was for both. I'm not sure how reliable Louis is, but I hope this goes down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermind he clarified on twitter that they didn't offer this deal even though he said it and apologized for confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 LeBrun on Plekanec: Quote 1) The Canadiens haven’t decided for sure what they’re doing with the quality veteran who has played only for the Habs in his NHL career. 2) It’s not clear how excited he’d be to leave. But he has no real say in it. He doesn’t have a no-trade clause. It sure sounds like a Monday decision by the Habs on Plekanec but that can easily change with one phone call. https://theathletic.com/248204/2018/02/21/lebrun-jim-rutherford-may-not-be-done-trying-to-improve-penguins-and-other-trade-deadline-notes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Holy cow, there is no decision. Trade him, If Benn, Schlemko, maybe even petry are on the team after Monday, MB should be fired immediately. Patches, Galchenyuk and byron should be used to get 2 top 2 centers as well if possible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 The way Julien plays Plekanec you know he's freaking out over the idea of Plekanec getting traded. Even if Plek could just return in the summer on a $2.5 million contract. But hey he might sign with the Coyotes. Can't risk that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Petry has a full no-move clause. He isn't going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDriveFor25 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Look around the league.. all the best have two things in common.. They have at least one good center, and they manage their assets well. Pleks MUST be traded.. if it's for a 2nd round pick then so be it. Trade him to Pittsburgh for Jordy Bellerive or Linus Olund.. Trade him to Minnesota for Jordan Greenway or Ivan Lodnia Trade him to San Jose for Noah Gregor or Dylan Gambrell.. Then, if he wants to be a Hab next year, you sign him on July 1. You still have Pleks, plus you have a prospect. It's pretty simple. Failure to trade him would be one of MB's worst moves, and that is saying something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bigger expense to ruin the on-ice product and farm system, and to need a bigger and longer makeover than we need, with the lost costs of unsold seats, concessions, missed playoffs, less merch, etc...

There is no sense what so ever in keeping Plex! Resign him no problem but get an asset for him now. What a crap mistake it would be just to sit on him. It would be a bigger mistake to trade Gallagher. Players like him are hard to find and given his age he is part of the core going forward. If he brings us Mcdavid then sure but trading him is a mistake. As for MB being fired? I have no doubt that he will be here next year and I have no doubt that he will make lots of moves this summer. I wish he was fired this second but it isn't happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If cant get a 2nd round pick for Plekanec, why wouldn't you retain him at a much reduced salary? Always liked him as a Hab and again say, would be great to see him retire a Hab. Habs already have a Gallagher replacement in Shaw and as many were clamoring for him to be traded last year, when his value couldn't of been any lower...now it is the opposite and his value likely wont get any higher. Also, who is easier to replace, or do without, Pacioretty or Gallagher? But is typical and fan favourites like Gallagher are seen as untradeable by many, when Pacioretty has been tossed under the bus at one point every year, until he rips off 10g in 10 games and scores a OT goal or two.

Trade him for what you can. If he wants to retire a Hab he still can. He can be resigned at that reduced salary in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade and resign Plex...any asset is better than no asset...Why not trade and sign? Gallagher is much more than gritty, scrappy, annoying to play against. Shaw does indeed have those qualities but Gallagher scores and he can do that on any line with any line mates. There are very few players in the NHL that can do what Gallagher does. Patches for me at least has never been about trading him because of his play. I suggested before the season started that we should trade him because he has significant value and he can get us a helpful return and hopefully he still can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
