Eller is lined up with Moen and Weise... Not sure if he deserves better linemates, but tough to contribute with that... Any chance we can sign Vanek and package Eller+ for a top 4 def??? Habs would be an elite team.

Chances are slim.. But man, sign Vanek for the next 5 or 6 years.

Blocker side! Reimer is leaning terribly towards his glove.. Go blocker!

There we go.. Just stay them..

Ugly defence.. Just ugly. Boullion, Subban.. Terrible pass by Cube and P.K has to stay on his feet there..

Hoping they switch it up and start shooting blocker side.. Reimer is expecting that glove side everytime... C'mon boys...

Pittsburgh calls, wants Price and Subban for Malkin, Fleury, and Letang... You still keep Price? I would trade ANYBODY if the price was right... PK is my favorite player, but I'm thinking he gets dealt for players... would crush me for a few days but I can feel it coming...

This is the trade proposal thread so here are a couple proposals... Gorges, Pleks, and Sven to Colorado for ROR and McGinn Diaz, Pacioretty, Bournival, Fucale and a pick to Winnipeg for Buff and Kane Emelin, Leblanc and Bourque to Edmonton for Yak Moen and Murray to L.A. for King Gionta to N.J. for draft pick Briere to Anaheim for draft pick DD and Markov to Chicago for Saad Picks and Prospects to Nashville for Josi Subban Tinordi Josi Beaulieu Pateryn Boullion/Drewiske Buff - ROR - Gallagher Kane - Gally - Yak Saad - Eller - McGinn King - White - Prust

Habs Top 5 1. Price 2. Subban 3. Gallagher 4. Galchenyuk 5. Pacioretty

Exactly.. trade him for assets!

Has to be ROR... And honestly, I'm hoping for some MEGA trades. This Habs lineup is the same old thing.. capable of making the playoffs and possibly stealing a round, but not really a contender. When are they going to realise they have a world class goalie and start building a team around him. Make the team tougher to play against, tougher to score against.. \ I don't care who they trade, as long as Price, Subban, and the Gallys aren't involved... Although, I'd really trade anybody if the right deal came along...

I'll go a different direction and say Gallagher. Maybe not the highest skill player, but brings it every night, goes where most of our "big" guys won't. He's the type of player you need to win in this league.

Crazy question.. What would a team have to trade to get P.K. out of Montreal? I'm not saying I want it to happen, because I don't. I think Subban is one of the top 4 or 5 players in the league. Just arguing with some friends and was wondering what others thought. Hypothetically, Pitts calls and offers Malkin straight up.. Does it get done? Thanks for indulging me...

Read somewhere else a trade proposal of Luongo, Burrows, and Edler to Montreal for Price, Pleks, and Beaulieu... Not saying I love it.. but I don't hate it..

Ek reporting Habs and Nucks talking again.. Wonder who the target is?

Subban Gorges Markov Hainsey Boullion Tinordi Diaz.. Or Subban Tinordi Markov Gorges Boullion Diaz Drewiske You tell me.. Add Emelin to that 1st group.. Solid. It'd be like making a mid season trade when Emelin comes back. Subban Emelin Hainsey Gorges Markov Tinordi....

I would be shocked if the roster was finished... something has to be coming.

Exactly! Hainsey at 3.5 is ok, anything above is a no.

EK saying Kings may have moved Kyle Clifford to Montreal. Big LW with some upside.. would be a nice addition to a 3rd line... what would be the cost?

If Ek is right, I could see Matt Greene as the target. Maybe Greene and Frattin for Diaz and Bourque. ( not saying I love this trade, just guessing on the price)

No to Jagr, Yes to Morrow. Gally Eller Gally Briere Pleks Patches Bourque DD Gionta Prust Morrow White/Parros/Moen ... or trade something to St.Louis for Stewart!!!!!!!!!

What about Moen and Markov to LA for Matt Greene? Makes sense for both teams...

I get that they lost players, but on the overall picture they all seemed to improve. Frustrating when watching Sportsnet and all the "winners" of the offseason so far are in the same Division as Montreal. As I said before though, something has to be coming... I'll wait and see what rolls out... BUT, at this point, playoffs look like a stretch.

I agree that many of the contracts were ridiculous.. But Montreal has the pieces to put a better offer for Ryan on the table... Just look at what teams in the division did... Boston adds Erikkson, Iginla, and Prospects Ottawa adds Ryan, MacArthur, Toronto adds Bolland, Clarkson, Brennen, Bernier Detroit adds Weiss, Alfredson You just can't sit and wait for draft picks to develop... There's no guarantee that those picks will even work.. You have to make moves to improve.. Why does it seem like many other teams are doing so while we wait...

I seriously hope people don't think that replacing Ryder and Armstrong with Briere and Parros is going to improve this team. This team will be battling for the 8th spot and will get crushed in the playoffs... I hope I'm wrong, I hope Price is the goalie we all think he can be and Stanley comes home.. But I just don't see it. Despite last years success, Montreal is closer to the basement then they are the #1 seed. So many teams getting better while Bergevin stands still..
