    pretty much everyone agrees that we need a big winger but who do we go after?

    i think one guy that might be had is Dustin Penner but not sure what we have to give up?

    some other guys that might be trade bait

    Jarome Iginla

    Jamie Langenbrunner

    Patrik Elias

    Alex Tanguay

    GDT: Montreal vs Senators, Dec. 7

    first of all i love subban but we all know he well be great but i think jm is taking a look at weber to see if his a guy you like to keep or move...face it after this year we got to take a look at our D and see who we like to keep, so i think this is just a test to see how weber can play in the nhl.

    That much I'll grant you. I'll toss Philly's name out there then, last year's finalists. 2 shrewd FA pickups (Hartnell, Timonen), and good drafting (Richards, Carter, Giroux...van Riemsdyk isn't doing all that well and they're still rolling). The Pronger trade, made before the season, was also good. That's the key, big trades before the year so as to not disrupt any chemistry which clearly exists with this team.

    I agree with a couple of players this team could contend but taking on ugly contracts (such as Iginla's) isn't the way to go. This is the time where you're looking for rental players who won't cost half as much as an Iginla would but could still have a significant impact or fill a glaring hole.

    I just use Iginla as a example..But Iginla is in the top 15 in scoring for rw on a bad team. so i think he go a few good year left yet but 7 mil a year would hurt but its only as 2 more year after this one.

    Even the teams that are winning the cup aren't throwing their cards in and making big moves, look at the last 3 winners - Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Detroit. Good drafting and player development, and with CHI/DET, solid free agency pickups. Those teams didn't go throw away key parts of the future to succeed and make huge midseason trades, you don't have to nowadays. And if we're 1 or 2 players away, one would think the defence may be the place to go to try and replace Markov.

    2 of those team sucked for a lot of year to get top draft pick and det sign alot of vet so their young guy could development in the ahl. Every team finds differnt ways to win.

    The Habs aren't in a position to throw away essentially 2 1st rounders for a veteran in decline. Any good team can't go with a "screw the future" strategy, that's a recipe for disaster. The Leafs did that (trading for a decent youngster mind you) and that didn't go over well.

    I agree about the future but a day must come and u got to put your cards on the table and go for it..U cant always play it safe. With the way the team is playing i feel we are 1 or 2 players away from a shot at the cup.

    The leafs are not a good team to compare us 2. A first from the leafs is worth alot more as it well be in the top 5, montreal top pick well be in the last 5.

    yeah but why would the Habs do that trade? Iginla isn't worth all that... maybe if you swap Markov for Gomez. :)

    would iginla push us to the next level? If i thought iginla could help us bring the cup home this year, which i do..I make the trade.

    I feel we need another rightwing to play with gomez and i thing iginla could be a good fit. This would be a win now not worry about the future trade.

    Kostitsyn- Plekanec - Gionta

    Cammalleri - Gomez - iginla

    Pouliot - Eller - Darche

    Pyatt - Halpern - Moen
