    Maybe Bergevin could of worked out a side deal if they took on his salary cap hit. 

     

    I'd not absorb any cap hit, or lose assets for another to do so, if I know Drouin can't/won't play in MTL.  You tell him it's either deal with whatever his issues are and play here, or stay on LTIR...that no trade to accomodate him will be made if it costs us anything of value or cap....and if he doesn't like it, retire.  We've given up enough (Sergachev)...stop the bleeding and be done with him another way.

     

    Habs Off Season 2021

    I'm a bit on the fence with Weber....we can only lose him and feel good about it if we land a great replacement.  That in addition to a puck moving D-man.

    Drouin has to go...that was true before whatever his current issue is, and is 10x as true now.  Tatar is clearly gone...need a quality replacement top 6 forward.  Hopefully we can keep Perry.  Armia I'm on the fence about...he's really good about half the time, a guy you want an upgrade on half the time.  Leks...hard worker, but hands of stone....I want an upgrade.  Kotkaniemi, aside from his streak during the playoffs, was not good this season.  A cheap 2 year bridge deal is all I'd consider if keeping him and hoping he develops.

    I don’t care what anyone says, Price has been nowhere near top of form this series. His puckhandling has been bad by his standard, and he has let in two softies, plus things like we just saw.

     

    100% right.  As spectacular as he was through 3 rounds, he has started to resemble the sub-par goaltender that he was through most of the regular season.

    We have two goals in two games, both somewhat flukey.

     

    We need to find more goals.  If we score 3 we almost always win.

     

    Maybe we should consider putting in Tatar next game.... maybe for lehkonen.  A little more offence?

     

    Absolutely...it can't hurt to put a well-rested Tatar out there to see if he can spark a bit of offence.  Put Romanov in there too...I've seen enough of Gus to know that he's not the discount powerplay QB Bergevin gambled that he'd be.

    I doubt anyone will surrender any asset for Drouin, but I can totally see Seattle picking him up, provided it’s not a substance-abuse issue. And without question he should go unprotected.

     

    I hope/pray Seattle rolls the dice on him.  It would be a double win: not losing someone we actually want to keep, and being rid of Drouin and his bloated salary.

    I really didn't expect you to say anything different. I just want to know who keeps pissing in your cereal bowl.

     

    So you think this was some huge miscarriage of cosmic justice, and the Habs deserved to win because they took a lot of shots that didn't go in?  It's too easy to let your team off the hook because they won the shot counter game...but if you have any sense at all, you look at Tampa and recognize that it's going to take 3 to have a chance to beat them the vast majority of nights, and that 1 measly goal scored will beat them MAYBE one time out of 20.
