    Price hasn’t been great this year... few very good games, many brutal ones... Not playing to his potential.

     

    as for tonight he was getting rocked on every opportunity. It wasn’t his night...

    Are you kidding me we're in a playoff spot because of him. The team you see tonight is what this team is with him at his best.

    Halak made a couple great saves when the Habs were all over them... price is stopping nothing more then what a backup can stop.

     

    i don’t blame him for all the goals..this team has many other problems. That said, the top paid player isn’t earning his money he is suppose to make up for mistakes. 

    I guess you're one of those when price is playing well his the best when he's playing off his game you say he sucks

    Sorry..but Price is playing like a backup... not making the big saves... for $2m you could have a starter playing just as well... 

     

    use the money to get a defenseman.  
     

    of course that was not a bad goal, but it wasn’t a great save either.., 10m should be getting us some game savers..

    So the first goal the guy was left wide open in the slot who's fault is that? This team the last few games have been playing some really bad D in front of Price, which has led to some bad goals scored.

    First Babcock's mind games/bullying come to light, now Bill Peters racism and assaulting former players...

     

    Other "old school" coaches aren't going to be sleeping easy this week.

    I think someone in the flames organization wants peters gone.

     

    Thank god CJ is French no one will know what he is saying unless they speak French lol.

    I would still prefer to focus on getting a top defenceman. And getting someone who is proven at the NHL level.

     

    Lafreniere looks great but there have been many top draft picks over the years who have not been able to adapt to the NHL game, so he is far from risk-free.

    I totally agree, i think the missing link to this team is a top playmaking LD. Also need to improve on the LW.

     

    By the way Chiarot and Fleury have been growing on me.

    My crazy thought of the day, we should do everything we possibly can to get Lafreniere next summer.

    Is it worth trying to make a trade like the Lindros Quebec-Philly trade?

    You would have to see who the lottery winning team is first. Then you would have to see what their team needs are. If we have what they need we might be able too trade. But I would think Kotkaniemi or Suzuki  would be the center piece of the trade talks if they're going young. If they want established  young NHL players i would think Domi Or Danault would be the center piece of the trade talks.

    Out of those ANA and MIN are the ones I found align with the CH

     

    In my limited knowledge I could not find a good match with the other teams

    Yeah me also. I would pin point it to those two teams if we make a deal for a D . They look like the type of team's that if they're out of the playoff race again this year they just might blow it up and rebuild.

    No question that elite D do not come cheap. Did you have anyone in mind ?

     

    I would look at the bottom teams if they're out of the playoffs by the deadline they will be sellers.

    Detroit 

    Minnesota 

    Kings

    Ducks 

    New jersey 

    Columbus 

    Flames 

     

    I could see these team's making trades and being sellers.

     

     Really wish we could of got Larsson out of Arizona.

    I guess that is a valid point, point taken

    Poehling has not established himself in the NHL yet, who knows what his ceiling will be, it seems he is more of a 3rd line centre (like Danault). Juulsenand Lehkonen have NHL experience and are capable to play at that level, and yes Juulsen has been hurt but on freak plays. 

    But out of the three centres (Poehling, Suziki and Kotkaniemi) I woul dgive up Poehling over the other two. 

     

    I am not sure if the comment is meant on my trade proposal, I will assume it is: point taken.

     

    What I have been looking at is contract terms, prime years left and 2021-expansion protection list. I think the CH has a good contract structure now and may consider upgrades a certain top 6 positions if the player coming back is significantly better (Aho).

    But for the LD hole, I believe they need to hedge against Weber and Petry being injured and also not giving up core assets. I think these players are trade chips: Tatar, Lehkonen, Armia, Juulsen, Ikonen, and one of the top RD prospects: Fleury, Juulsend or Brook.

     

    No the comment wasn't on you just some of the trades I have seen people Come up with are laughable if you're trying to get a top player back. People just need to be more realistic.

     

    And those trades I mentioned are just examples but coming back our way could also be picks along with a top D or a prospect along with a top D.

    If you are giving up Tatar + Poehling  + a 1st round pick then you better get an elite NHL defenceman,  in my opinion Gostisbhere is not elite. That's a lot to give up.  Your leading goal scorer, plus a great prospect plus a first. 

    Thats my point if you want an elite D you got to give up to get it. Your not getting a top LD for 4th line players.

    Specifics aside, you’re right - we’re not getting an impact D without giving up significant assets. Lehkonen and Juulsen are hardly that, and a 2nd isn’t that great either. Teams don’t generally trade core pieces for spare parts.

    Exactly some people here make their trade offer's the same as those who play fantasy  teams... Offer you their bench players for your top guy, it just isn't going to happen.

    I do not want top give a 1st round pick

     

    Tatar + Juulsen + 2nd round pick.

     

    Or

    Tatar + Juulsen + Lehkonen + 2nd round pick.

     

    Or

    Tatar + Juulsen + 2x(2nd round pick).

     

    Thats not getting you a elite D sorry. Juulsen is a risk to team's and so is Lehkonen, their to inconsistent.  If you want a top pairing playmaking LD which we need your going to have to pony up for it.  Poehling and a 2nd, or a 1st if Poehling  isn't part of the deal would do it.

     

    For example 

    Tatar + Poehling + 2nd 

    For

    Gostisbehere 

     

    Tatar and Gostisbehere contract are all most equal in money but Philadelphia would save with less years on Tatar contract. Maybe you can take the 1st round pick out of it and 

     

    Or another example could be

    Poehling + 2nd round pick 

    For

    Lindholm 

     

    Or Poehling +2nd 

    For

    Brodin 

     

     

    Those are probably what it would take to get a deal done.

    Nothing wrong with upgrading, but picks and prospects have to be handled strategically. Trading some for upgrades to our current area of strength (FW depth) leaves fewer available for addressing our one area of comical, ongoing weakness (LD). And we are certainly not at the point where we should be going all-in and selling the farm for immediate upgrades in general.So I stand by my assessment.

    If we're not going all in now what's the point in keeping guys like  Price, Weber, Petry and Gallagher? Trade them all and play all the young guys. At least fans won't have false hope. Keeping these guys gives you a chance to win, so why not surround them with talent to win.

     

    I like our forward group, we needed to upgrade our D badly just look at last nights game vrs NYR. We finally have the type of prospects that other teams want in trades that are rebuilding , so why not finally take advantage of it?

     

    To make trades for top elite players That team's are rebuilding and look for

    Draft picks 

    NHL ready prospects 

    Contracts that are ending

     

    We have all that right now plus that cap space.  Make the moves now.

     

    For example 

    Tatar + Poehling + 1st round pick 

     

    Would get you a top LD that we need. Would it weaken us no it would only make us stronger.

  14. He was drafted in 2012. So in 7 years he hasn't been able to crack the line when we needed centers, he hasn't been able to crack the line up when we needed winger's. 

     

    The only reason Bergevin changed his mind about him and brought him back this year was because he lost out on Aho and Duchene. Other wise he wouldn't even be on this team.

     

    You can use stats all you want but, use your eyes once in awhile. Their is a reason management keeps over looking him.

    I am hoping for a strong game for Hudon. Last year I was hoping he would get a chance with but didn't really deserve it

     

    this time he has earned that chance.

    I am also happy to see Reilly back

    When has Hudon  Have a  strong game as a hab?I think its safe to say his a bust and life time AHLer. Its time to cut the cord with him.

    Every team in the league will have a stretch of 3 games where they pick up 2 points only.

     

    The sky isnt falling.

     

    Lets not overreact to a small downturn when the team was 7-1-2 in the ten games prior to that.

    Not over reacting, just going on past experience with this team and injures. It happens all the time not just with Bergevin's team's but Bob's also,

    Drouin had all of 3pts in last 6 games played, so not like he was ripping it up or would be hard to replace.

    He opens up ice for his line mate's , just because he doesn't get points doesn't mean he is doing nothing.

    You do know that the Habs are in a playoff spot right now.

    now , which is why we can't afford to tail spin and go on a slide like we always do when we lose key players to long term injuries.

     

    Lost Price to long term injury did nothing to replace his production and we missed the playoffs.

     

    Lost Weber to injury did nothing to replace His production and missed the playof

     

    Drouin doesn't have as much impact as Price and Weber but he was off to a great start this year and was putting up points 15pts in 19 games played. No one has stepped up for the team, and you can see it in their last 3 games.

    Players in the NHL already?  Like Suzuki, Kotkaniemi and Fleury.... three starters who are 20, 20, and 19. 

     

    We've recently graduated three very young players to the NHL and people are complaining about the depth of the prospect system because only a few players are knocking at the door in Laval.  Meanwhile, Poehling and Juulsen are really close, and there is a ton of depth that is a year or two away. 

     

    And they say that those who don't agree with them are the ones drinking the kool-aid?

     

    Madness. 

    I am not talking about a year or two away I am talking about right now. Price and Weber are playing at a high level. We're at least one top LD playmaking D away from being a playoff team this year, and a hard one to play against at that. But we don't have the depth RIGHT NOW in the organization to over come long term injuries to key players. You can see it all ready in these 3 losses.
