A ld alone moves us to playoff team but still not a cup contender til suzuki and kk become a 1-2 punch up the middle.
Thats why im saying patience. The centres to win are therr but not for a long playoff run at 19 and 20.
I still think its speculation when
Pittsburgh needs d especially on the left and has never been afraid to mortgage the future to win in midseason deals.
The oilers need d and have the type of centres to be in win now mode.
Washington could use a lhd and is in win now mode.
Vegas has not been afraid to fill their needs to compete in recent years and needs d.
Winnipeg is desperate for D of any kind and have made big trades for rentals in both of the last two years.
All of these teams are closer to a cup than us and their hole is just as big. They have GMs who are not afraid to be all in. If none of them are grabbing those LHD out there. What makes you think we can get one for just one top prospect?
I just don't get why we're holding on to Price and Weber And Petry.If you want to play the kids and not give up top prospects to win now that's fine. But Price and Weber want to win now not 3 or 4 years down the road. In 2 years time if this team is still a bubble team i see Price and Weber asking for trades so they can go win a cup before its to late for them.
We have Primeau give him the keys to the net and let Primeau, Suzuki, Poehling, Kotkaniemi develop into the new core together.If we eat 4mil off Price's contract team's will want him At 6mil a year, more then at 10mil.
And if we eat 2mil off Weber's contract, at 5mil a year team's would want him also.Then we play the kids and let them develop together.
Trading Weber , Price and Petry would fill holes in areas that we need filled, and help with the rebuild.
Our core group would then be Domi, Danault, Drouin , Gallagher, Armia, Our young guys would be Kotkaniemi, Suzuki, Poehling, Mete, Primeau, Fleury, Romanov, Cousins.We let the young guys play and develop. Give them the top mins and lets see what they can do.

I dont follow prospects much, seems like too much to give up for a UFA, I dont see Hall staying in Phoenix.
Yeah from what I hear its phoenixes I think 3rd and 4th best prospects and the 3rd could become a 1st if Hall resigns with them if I am not mistaken.
But yeah I think it's over pay but that's what you do if you're all in and want to win a cup. You do what you got to do to get the guy you want, that you think would help put you over the top.

I don't think Bergevin is saying that this is a non playoff team, he is simply saying that he sees the team as fighting for a playoff spot and that he is not willing to mortgage the future to get a little better, would rather use the cap space instead. I agree with his thoughts. Obviously he must feel that he has Molson's support on this.
To be honest he's been saying this for the last 5 years. nothing has changed except the way they have been drafting the last 2 years.

Arizona close on Hall
Done deal 1st, 3rd prospects and NJ eats half halls contract remaining

Looks like Hall could be traded soon. He's being held out of tonight's game vrs the avs.

I don't know why Kotkaniemi went home to train with his Dad. He should have stayed in Montreal, and set up a professional routine.
Yes, he put weight on, but he's slow this year. There needs to be balance in gains and losses.
I think it's more of the fact team's now know him and have adjusted to his play.
The areas that were open to him last year aren't as open.
He now needs to adjust
-
Looks like habs aren't in the mix for Hall
as per Lavoie
"Lots of talks about Taylor Hall who’s on the trading block. The @canadiens are not in the mix I’m told, so don’t bet on that possibility. Question is now where he will land and can it be done before the Hollidays trade freeze on December 19 ?"

if they get 8 points out of 16, I will be happy
And before I am judge for being contempt with mediocrity: I am just being a realist given the number of injuries an the lack of D depth
Yeah I know what you mean, I think being realist is a no no here.

Wow what a save nothing else lehkonen could of done

That trip is usually disastrous
Yeah both trips will be big that's 4 coming up Against the Canadian team's and then 4 against the California teams and Colorado. So that's going to be 16 big points Up for grabs.
-
I think that west cost trip Coming up will be a big test for this team to see if we have turned the corner.

Not a fan of starting Primeau against the much better team, but maybe Price requested the NYR game for a shot at redemption.
I think the fact we got a win has more to do with him not starting tonight. Other wise I think he would be in net.
-
Good that we got a win out the way before we started the rookie. It takes some heat off him and just lets him play his game.

It wasn't 20 years ago. Players were likely afraid of speaking out earlier because they would get blackballed. There is nothing wrong with a coach being tough and demanding however there is no place anywhere for a coach or anyone to demean other people or make racist remarks. I would lose my job if i did it, why should it be any different for a coach?
Today's culture is so spoiled and feel that they're entitle to everything without working hard for it. Especially sports athletes.

How's the game going? They playing better? Busy at work can only check the score.

So everything that happened 20 years ago coach's and gm's are going to get fired for today🤔 . How does this make any sense?

I wouldn't mind trading for Pageau out of Ottawa. He would improve our PK , always liked him as a player.

Mete 3g 8pts in 26gms
Subban 2g 5pts in 26gms
Hope Mete cant use Subban's contract as a comparable next summer.
Subban used his Defensemen of the year trophy🏆to get the contract from Bergevin.

That was Olofsson. Who had, at that point, played a grand total of about 10 minutes with the Habs.
And Julien's system was quite effective for the first 20 games this year, as well as most of last year, until it fell apart after Drouin's injury. LIKE U SAID IT WOULD
I fixed that for you.

Stop with the excuses. Price deserves this criticism as much as he deserves his accolades when playing up to standard. The fact is our goaltending has not been up to task period! It is just as much to blame as the missing LD your crying about. In fact, it's more to blame because we are so heavily invested in it.
Of course it's NOT all on Price or Kincaid! What I'm saying is he's reason #1 of many reasons why we are in a slide.
And btw, the team played a good road game in BOS yesterday.
The difference or turning point to me was Rask holding Gallagher on the breakaway to make it 2-0 and Pasta scoring on Price the other way to tie it up 1-1 early in the 3rd...
How did DP get that scoring chance? The D let him walk in by being too soft on him.
Do you think old school coaching system/style like a CJ are still relevant in today's NHL? A lot of old school coach's system's just don't seem to be working lately.

If we got what we paid for always then Price would have a .927 SV%, a .915 in high danger a GAA of under 3 and a couple shut outs and we would be fighting BOS for the division lead because of it. Considering our offense continues the way it has. Instead, let's All blame it on the lack of a quality LD instead.
Kincaid will definitly clear waivers and Primeau will come up and in the short term push Price to be F**%ing better and maybe light a fire under his A$$ because we paid for a superstar goalie that should be able to shut the %*&#ing door in a close 1-0 game in the 3rd to end a historical slide that could end our season before Christmas! Let's not kid ourselves.
Kincaid was suppose to be a huge upgrade and he hasnt delivered at all. This waive is just as much a shot at Price not being able to get the job done as it is Kincaid not delivering the goods when called upon
Theirs only so much someone can do when it comes to turn over, breakaways, 2 on 1's, and being unable to clear the puck from the front of the net. Are some of the goals on our goaltending yes, but not all over them. If Price makes 3 saves but they score on the 4 shot because his team cant clear the zone is that on him?

That's what this smells like...desperation to get red hot goaltending to stop the slide.
Sounds to me like they're throwing him under the bus🚍, and not desperation.

Who for who?
Trade what guys for whom exactly?
What is "right"?
If you're going to rebuild, that means you're planning on being a lottery pick team over the next 4 years. So you don't need You high priced guys like weber and price and petry. Trade them get draft picks and young NHL ready prospects.
If you're just retooling that means you keep those guys but go out get them help. None of this do nothing approach that's been going on.
Get NHL Proven guys that are a good fit for CJ system.
Do you want to float in space or do you want to reach mars? I for one want to reach mars.

It was more of a disaster because they never filled their team needs. They kept on picking forwards and left a hole in net and on D that they never filled.
