GHT120

Which is perhaps a reason to keep him as the 7D if Matheson, Struble or Xhekaj get moved.

It feels like there was supposed to be something else in the post but it's not showing on my computer

Well, they did want Marner back at the deadline, and supposed as a UFA ... so a Marner-ish alternative

There are no real UFA options remaining, so "screw it" now means either standing pat or giving up a fair bit in terms of assets to trade for someone comparable.

Or who has a couple of offers and is playing chicken to see which team blinks first

From all the "talk" the last place he wants to go is under the TO microscope ... same for Montreal

Missouri's 2025 income tax ranges from 2% to 4.8% ... so not a "no state income tax" state but a TINY bit lower than Quebec, and even other Canadian provinces.

I would be SHOCKED if Hughes or Gorton actually said that ... I expect it was the reporter's interpretation of what HuhGort said and/or the moves they've made.

Surrounding Sid for a Cup run ... they added Mantha too

EVERY prospect is tradable in the right deal.

Is Dufus trying to force Crosby to request a trade? Or has Sid told him he wants the chance to mentor Gavin McKenna?

AAV and term both seem very reasonable ... Guess Laine wasn't the attraction some of us had hoped.

Vincent gets a "cup of coffee" filling in as a coach?

99 days until the NHL season starts ... I suggest you wait until then to be disappointed.

Was also the same with Mete

$775K ... how the "mighty" have fallen

I absolutely LOVE any trade that brings Trifleuvians to the Habs

OR, be a leader in Laval

Beaulieu looked like he would be better than he ended up

Drysdale had finished the last 24 games of the 20/21 season (first post draft) with the Ducks, then 81 of 82 games the next season, the first 8 games of his third year before suffering an injury and the first 10 of 23/24 before being traded ... S-L-I-G-H-T-L-Y more established

There was no hurry for you ... I'll trust HuGo to better understand the marketplace

Slight edit above

Dobson on the 3rd pairing ... good one

Brière going ALL-IN? 😉

I'm betting the QO was due to Eric Tulsky calling Hughes and saying he would give him a 7th if the Habs qualified Primeau ... don't think Hughes qualifies Primeau "on spec".
