dlbalr Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 The fun has already started - Boston lost in the Stanley Cup Final, Matt Niskanen is now in Philly, and Jordan Eberle re-signs with the Islanders. What else is going to happen? As usual, we'll use this thread to discuss the goings on around the league this offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends seem to be torn over which was sweeter: seeing Marchand cry like the snot-nosed little puke he is, or seeing attempted murderer Chara slumping his despondent way through the handshake line. Personally I vote for Chara, whose nearly crippling deliberate assault on MaxPac I will never forget or forgive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Marchand was on our team, I wonder if we would love him. Pests are always loved by their home town fans, loathed everywhere else. But with Chara, I’d forever be embarrassed that he was on my team after what he did to MaxPac or any other human being. That wasn’t him just being competitive, that was disrespectful on a human level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 Olli Maatta to Chicago for Dominik Kahun and a 5th. That's a pretty low price tag for Maatta. I know skating is a big concern but he's still a serviceable defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was solid on the line with Strome and DeBrincat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallica Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Rangers just traded for trouba gave up 20th pick and Pionk. Makes me think we could get gostisbehere for our 15th pick and NHL ready prospect or one of our winger's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Kevin Cheveldayoff's finest moment. - Trades the 20th pick and Brendan Lemieux for Kevin Hayes - Trades Hayes' rights to Philly for a 5th - Trades Trouba for the 20th pick and Pionk End result: Winnipeg trades Jacob Trouba and Brendan Lemieux for 26 games of Kevin Hayes, Neal Pionk, and the 134th pick on Saturday.

I'm not sure what the way forward is now for the Habs on the blueline. Gardner is all well and good, but I feel a lot better overpaying for a truly elite, game-changing player like Karlsson than for a Jeff Petry type. Looks like the trade route for us.

I'm increasingly of the mind that MB will do nothing significant to improve the D. When asked about it he will shrug and say 'the price is too high.' He will assume that Weber is eternally immune from decline, just like he did with Pleks, and then blame the players when the wheels come off. That is, after all, exactly what he did ehen he had a gaping organizational chasm at C for six years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, Gardiner would be a great fit as a left handed puck mover with Weber shoring up the defensive side of the pairing. That said, Gardiner is highly unlikely to sign in Montreal given the way the media in Toronto treated him. I think he wants out of this type of media fishbowl.

Metallica Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I can see Gardiner getting some where between 6.5mil-8mil on July 1st. Seems like over payment for a Petry type clone on the Left side. I hope the team goes all in on Gostisbehere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to cost upwards of 7 million dollars. He's basically petry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
