Being an Anglo, though, he wouldn’t be permitted to coach here no matter how good he is, and I for one have no real beef with CJ in any case. They are both especially distinguished entries in the fierce competition for NHL’s Homeliest Coach Award, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Looks like Minnesota kicked off the deadline deals 1 week early with the Zucker sale. NJ just traded Andy Greene to NYI for a 2nd and David Quenneville, and it appears Blake Coleman is on his way to Colorado. Do the other obvious sellers deal early too, or wait for the deadline to see if prices go up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Coleman isn't gone to Colorado yet.... Boston also making an offer. Coleman won't play tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 A 2nd for a 37yo rental D-man (who is clocking only 16 minutes per game(? That seems like a pretty high price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Blake coleman to tampa for Nolan Foote and Vancouvers 2020 first round pick. I concede... if thats the price for blake coleman, trade everyone. Tatar, Kovalchuk, Petry, Thompson, Cousins, Weal, trade em all. Blake f'ing Coleman is worth 2 firsts. Tatar is surely worth both Lafreniere and Byfield in this marker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 They will get great returns IMO, For sure Petry, Tatar will get a king's ransom Thompson will get what a 4th line vet gets No clue about kovalchuk, he has tailed off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I will be shocked if they trade Petry. This D is already a disaster even with his excellence. Tuna is tradeable and MB has a strong track record at the trade table. This should prove a fruitful deadline for us. That's good, because the prospect pool still needs an infusion of elite talent IMHO. The top-10 pick will help as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 No reason not to trade Petry for those reasons you mentioned, if they are rebuilding why do they need a 2nd vet D on the team, they are a 500 team with him, a non playoff team 4 out of the last 5 years, what is 5-10 extra losses a year? They already have Weber and Chairot as vets, Habs need legit young talent, not aging vets you are no doubt getting a high end D prospect and a 1st back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long is this fershlugginer 'retool' supposed to go on? We've unintentionally tanked for four out of five seasons, a run of failure rivalling that of Houle. I for one have no desire to stretch it out for another 2-3 years, which seems a plausible outcome of fire-bombing a d-corps that is already a walking catastrophe.

A team shouldn't need 6-7 years to get good. We've been mostly terrible for half a decade, that's enough for me, thanks. For example, say we add Romanov next season and he provides some uplift to the LD as a bottom-pairing guy easing in. That'd be a net gain. But subtract Petry and it becomes a disaster. That said, I'm not a 'tank-ist,' so we may just have a fundamental difference of philosophy on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Just now, hab29RETIRED said: How many playoffs have they missed with Petry in the lineup. That's dodgy logic for sure. How many playoffs have the Oilers missed with McDavid? It doesn't follow that they shoukd trade McDavid. But I get it. If you as a fan are willing to have an absolutely terrible team for the next 3-5 years, then sure, we should trade all of our top veterans.My own feeling is that a half decade of suckage is sufficient, especially considering that we will be getting yet *another* high pick this season plus whatever else we can wheedle at the deadline. Enough is enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't agree that we are destined to be terrible for the next three years. We should be working our prospects in and having our young players improve. I have a lot of trouble seeing a contender in all this, but 'terrible' seems a major overstatement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect that, but I'll pass, thanks. Bergevin should have made moves last summer to improve on the 2018-19 team, and he didn't. Now his job is to make moves to improve on the team before us. And he'd better frigging do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
