After all, two goals in 58 games is an upgrade on the third lines. I wonder how much time these tiny deals take Bergevin? Jim Nill said the deal took a few hours. First offer from.bergevin today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Montreal's supply of draft picks this year is quickly starting to dwindle - they're down to their 1st, two 2nd's, a 3rd, and a 5th. Assuming that one of those 2nd's would be in a move for a forward, it's shaping up to be quite the dull draft (again) for the Habs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Wouldn't be surprised to see the 1st and at least one of the 2nds to go before the draft as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we'd actually made some deep runs, then it makes sense, but we basically have one semi-finals appearance to show, and (from what I gather) a pretty threadbare prospect pool.

habs rule Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Ok Mark down Mark makes another trade. He is really good at these pissant trades. He just can't make one that really changes this team. Ok he did make one but the jury is still out on that one. Well maybe he can find some offence in the 2 days. This is an ok trade, but we need a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I bet they were in on Teemu Pulkinnen. 0 points in 16 games is right on the money. However, they can still win the Riley Sheahan Sweepstakes. They'll have to beat out Toronto, but he has a mouthwatering 0 goals in 59 games.

Weber's Leadership has transforned this team, which looks COMPLETELY different from last season's, and 1000X better than that awful, leaderless, character-less squad from 2014 and 2015. We finally got rid of the locker room cancer and fixed the chemistry, character, and scoring issues in one fell swoop of brilliant GMing. The result is the 1987 Edmonton Oilers.

Chris Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Shattenkirk had the choice of what team to go to, plus he has all but said he wants to be a Ranger next year. a 1st, 2nd and top prospect (center) which the habs didn't have is alot for a rental.

I haven't seen him play C As for second line... he wasn't a PPG player in college. He had 16 points in 25 games in the AHL. He has 3 points in 26 NHL games. The numbers seem to suggest bottom 6.

hockeyrealist Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 It does appear patty was held on a much shorter leash than many others, hopefully he gets a chance to play in Dallas. I do think he is a reliable bottom pairing player who gives out and takes abuse well. Exactly the type of no nonsense, safe play guy most teams want there. benn seems to have some grit which I love and if he sticks up for price better than the pansies are presently then awesome move. I think Weber was told to avoid unnessecary penalties and is why he has been softer than usual in that regards, normally he plays angrier.

Chris Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Yea, i thought the same thing on Weber, reminds me of what they did with Shaw. I don't know if that was a MT philosophy or what happened, they get a gritty hard nosed player and they want him to play like DD. I like the Benn trade, he is tough and fights a bit. It would be nice to see when Price gets ran over he doesn't have to stick up for himself for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 The thing is Rinne got run many times in Nashville and Weber didnt' stop it. The fact is that deterrence really doesn't work, not in 2017. You have guys on million dollar contracts, and if you don't go to the net hard, you wont be in the NHL very long. Whats a punch in the face stop really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
