  1. My UFA shortlist barring top no brainers like Hamilton and DeAngelo and Ryan Suter...

     

    Would be

    Getzlaf or Pies Suter on the forward side for depth at C

    Hakpanaa or Montour or...... Zdeno Chara for the 3rd pair! That's right Chara

     

    I wouldnt mind a trade package to send a couple forwards and picks to upgrade LW

    With a legit point producer... (take a flyer in Tarasenko? On the cheap)

  2. I was hoping for an elite score to... but that's a pipe dream cause I'm no Hoffman fan... Getzlaf would be a solid 4th line C pick up to pressure Evans and Poehling to perform.

     

    Anderson Suzuki Caufield

    Toffoli KK Gallagher

    Byron Evans Lehks

    Perry GETZLAF* Armia

    Drouin** Poehling Ylonen

    * 4th line wishlist

    My question is how many physical non puck-movers can the Habs have?  They already have Chiarot and Edmundson and appear to be adding one in Savard.  Hakanpaa is another one of those guys.  Even if the physicality worked in the playoffs, can they afford dressing four of those types of players during the regular season?

    I feel like Chiarot is an underrated skater for a big man... 

     

    Edmundson Petry

    Chiarot  ?????

    Romanov Hakanpaa 

    Kulak Wideman**

    Norlinder Brook

     

    **Is he signed  ??

     

    That would be a bruiser on each line but everyone is fairly mobile still...

     

    The problem is with DeAngelo and Hamilton likely going elsewhere. There is no option in the UFA market to replace Weber.

     

    Hopefully Romanov really really takes a step forward this season and can cement a place in the top 4...  cause I just don't see a top 4 option in the UFA market at this point. At least not long term 

     

     

     

  4. I'd like to see

     

    Edmundson Petry

    Chiarot Hamilton/ D'Angelo***

    Romanov Hakanpaa*

    Kulak Wideman**

     

     

    *Picked up Hakanpaa in fantasy hockey and he actually had solid numbers... hes also a big boy to so he could fit in well with MB/ Richardson style of defending

    ** there because it's reported in forum

    ***Hamilton is the clear #1  choice for me but D'Angelo could be another viable option when considering on ice performance only

     

  5. Im sorry but if the kid wants to come to Mtl... MB NEEDS to sign him period! He's easily worth Pietrangelo money.  Especially considering that he would be a free asset that would cost us no players or picks to sign AND please don't be telling me he's not a free asset because we are spending CAP space on him... how ridiculous when we all know what free to aquire means.

    Except there will be.  As the top UFA at his position, he's getting a full no-move clause no matter where he signs with.  That's basically an automatic at this point.

    I still believe if a top defender as his hamilton wants to come to MTL on the eve you lose your captain... you sign him as long as he's asking for what is fair value...

    There is no such thing as free in today's NHL when you have limited cap space.  Carey Price was FREE and Seattle didn't take him.  I would sign Doug Hamilton at perhaps 7.5, much higher and someone else can have him. 

    Gimmie a break... everyone understands that you use up cap space to sign a freakin player. What a joke!

     

  8. I disagree... Hamilton is a huge asset and if he can be signed as a UFA then he's a FREE huge asset that can be traded for other assets if it doesn't work out as long as there is no trade restrictions in his contract.

    I say go for it... hes still very young and would be 35 at the end of this 7 year deal... if he even wants to sign for 7. Likely 5 years so he can cash in huge again

  9. Im of the thinking we NEED to get Hamilton.... especially if we want to build off of our playoff success this past season and help the young kids grow...

     

    Edmundson Petry

    Chiarot Hamilton

    Romanov Kulak

    *Insert UFA here

    Norlinder Brook

     

    *Likely need to sign 2 defenders to make noise in the playoffs

     

    Will Norlinder be given a chance to crack the line up???

    He’s had the hand issues almost every year for the past 3 or 4 years, and during the last two playoffs he’s been ineffective offensively. Marchand may be the same size, but the refs don’t let him take even close to the amount of abuse Gallagher has to take.

    Marchand is extremely talented more so then a pest... not sure Gallagher is that level offensively
