This article speaks about how Messi has a clause to leave Barca without penalty (700 million Euros) should Catalogna separate from Spain.
I wonder if such a clause be awarded to a player with the Habs if the separatist movement gains traction again like in the 90's?
Sorry Mods if this kind of topic isn't welcome

I think MB has already hung himself with the rope Molson gave him right after the PK trade but what do I know

I don't think we should be proposing trades based on the assumption that the other GM is an idiot who trades franchise players without 'caring about what's in the box' he's getting back. Even less should we criticize our GM for failing to 'close a sale' that only a negligent idiot would agree to. Would YOU trade Erikson for Pacioretty? No? Then don't expect Dorion to.
I did put an edit in my original post that said it would probably cost more and I did mention at the start of the last post it would be a start :/

Highway robbery. Karlson is a franchise player.
I was just going on a start but I would like to see MB make move that proves all the crap I dump on him about him wrong. A move to get a player back for an asset. Not to say MaxP isn't a player but compared to Karlsson; he's an asset at best, imho. I think he is the best trade chip MB got to get back some thing better.
MaxP is:
30+ goal guy (Without a "1C")
25+ pass guy (unselfish for a "goal scorer")
Captn (Leadership, he can sell the wazoo out of; I bet)
Quick back on his skates (after injury) that don't happen too often, really (durable).
Phenomenal contract (nuff said)
Phenomenal contract next year (cash in now on saving! for More Savings!!)
(bonus) MB can eat half that contract and that has to be worth something to Sens who some how spend but don't seem to.
I think MaxP is good some night and invisible at best others yet I also think he is the kind of product you can hype up at Christmas to someone who doesn't really care what's in the box. Just wants something that will go with a new gizmo in house that's already bought and is about to trash out the thing he thinks is messing up the wifi. That is the kind of guy that will over pay for what ever the salesman says will work with that new gizmo. Can Habs be the shop Dorion blows his budget for the next year? I think so. Can MB close the sale? I don't know

More like price for Karlsson, other wise sens don't stay on the phone.
And that along probably about a million other reasons, is why I'm not GM

What kind of tangent are you on? Don't get the references/innuendos, but get the general drift of posts.
Honestly Don, it's kinda High school childish but I hope in good fun

does any1 think there could be a trade to be had with the Sens?
MaxPac + 1rd round round in 2018
Vs.
E. Karlson + 3rd round pick in 2019
(edit) I guess it would be "a bit" more then that after what Dorion gave for MD yet I feel the cap friendly hit + 1 full year on the contract of MaxP can be played as a chip in this trade to happen without having to give up next few years of picks. He can even eat a few bucks on the contract and Really increase the value of that "chip" but again he would Need a little sales/collections in him to do such a haggle.

So would I. But why would Buffalo? If they move a guy like O'Reilly, it's probably either for futures or for a top-flight defenceman.
Salary cap move for next year and trade bait for picks next year. Seems if MB had sales in him this would be like "leadership qualities" for him, an intangible that is a lot easier sale then "leadership qualities", imHo
(edit) Plus it would not be too hard for the Sabers to pump his (MaxPac) numbers next to Eichel (sp?)

Ok, ok, try this.
The Montreal Canadiens are a massive money-making machine irrespective of performance. As we've seen with franchises like TO and NYR, this can create a culture in which, while everyone involved would like to win, winning isn't internalized as life or death. This results in people in management playing internal political games, jockeying for influence, protecting their allies from accountability, making hockey decisions based on ego rather than excellence, etc, etc.. Over time this corrodes the entire operation.
That we have seen zero accountability in management - Therrien being protected long past the point when a serious organization would have canned him, Lefebvre remaining firmly in place despite a dismal track record - and dumb hockey moves driven seemingly by ego (Subban, Markov) - all suggest that this dynamic is a major factor in explaining the Habs' stagnation.
CC I Love it when you drop it like a mic, as a bonus it seems like you said all the things I have been trying to say in a few posts in just 1! You Should be in the BeerMan's brain trust to pick the next GM

The guy was gifted a strong core and has done absolutely dick-all with it, while gutting the development system. He's a dummy.
I was trying not to be to be personal ( yet True!) but keeping a tone to keep it Real, like the mount

Bergevin trys to set a standard in negotiations. He wants to be known as a hard ass. It's now back fired multiple times.
His ego gets in the way of his potential. He isn't a bad GM, my proof came early, he got rid of the R. Bourque contract and he didn't do it via buy out or by selling the farm. He is not a great GM but can he be a good GM is being questioned in my book

Agree, surly Strait or Schlemko as plan B replacement was pretty weak, especially if going to play hardball with Markov's agent.
I think Markov was his own agent, kinda like how Brodeur was for himself at the end of his career, I think

For whatever reason I want the Habs to play with hate, like the one they should still have towards the only team to take the Mug from Forum ice. If I'm not mistaken no team has ever beaten the Habs for the Cup on Habs ice except the Lanny McD '89 Flames

if I be real real, I kinda feel the same but I think MB has gotten his ego get in the way of his potential. 2 years ago he had to make some changes, in the summer (if not in season), after the CP injury (season) and instead of finding more offence, he did what he did. Same this past summer, he had to find a way to get more Offence. He got Drouin but did not find replacements for Radulov or Markov, just stacked the Team with bottom pair Dmen. Ohh! and got a defensive minded coach.
No Offence added in my book.
And this is why I say ego, he was a Dman and somewhere he might hold to true: "Offence will get you to the Game but defense will win it" but not if you can't put any points up on the ***** Board!
some hockey divinity read that last post of mine and said scared dung on you!! 17 goals scored in the last 3 games and this one still isn't over!! I will eat it too if they keep this up

Don, you must have a great agent. All I was offered was a volunteer based job as parking attendant for the building across the street from the rink of the Greenville Swamp Rabbits form MB. I said No. ;P

The option to back off once you have made contact with Price shouldn't be there...you either drop them or eat repeated uncontested punches to the face. That 'code' crapola big lazy Laraque spewed didnt' fly with me.
PREACH!!!

As I see the Sens bumping Price at every opportunity with no fear, and Smith falling into him on purpose the way he blatantly did, I find myself questioning why Deslauriers hasn't responded.
Seemed at 1 point he was about to go with a Sens dude but Habs hadn't scored yet and the hens guy seemed to back off too

Pleky seems a little slow tonight with Hudon but Schlemko is like on fire going up ice.

I don't like CJ either but I will give Ceaser his due. As alfredoh2009, last few games (losses incl.) Team as been playing as a unit. Coach has a lot to do with that. Tip o'da hat to Captn' Kirk too and dare I say (ohh crap and write!) JJD?!?
Can something like this ever happen with a Habs Player?

there is also something about playing in a premiere league for Messi, that barca would not be in, should the territory of Catalogna separate from Spain. Barca would no longer play in Spanish premiere league. Would the Canadiens get booted out of the league due to the league contract with the Habs is with them being a Canadian team? This is bothersome in so many ways to me. :/
