I like that trade! I think it's fair for both teams!
I don’t want fair. I want Bergevin to buy low because the player is seemingly out of favour (Gostisbehere) or because a team sucks and lacks forwards(Lindholm or Fowler) etcetera

I would not expect Hudon or Peca to clear waivers. Hoping for a trade so that we get something back instead of losing another asset without any return

Everyone but CG is available says flyers GM. What would a package of Couturier/Provorov cost?
Danault/Mete and a 2nd round pick
For
Couturier/Provorov?
That would be a great trade for the Canadiens. Not sure why Philly would do it unless Fletcher wants to join Chiarelli on the permanent ‘ do not hire as a GM’ list.

The philly trade hurts but id likely do it.
Id rather give juulsen though... even if i had to give a first instead of the 2nd.
Im higher on brook than anyone else though.
Juulen would make that a much more palatable deal for me

To Montreal: Ryan Callaghan and Mathieu Joseph
To Tampa: Charles Hudon
To Montreal: Shayne Gostisbehere
To Philly: Josh Brook, Joni Ikonen and a 2nd round pick
I don’t know enough about the players involved to comment on the first proposal, but getting anything for Hudon seems like a positive move. I really hate the second proposal though.

I'm not willing to lower the bar. In fact, I reject the idea that a major player who stays with one team for his whole career should have his number retired by any team, not just Montreal. Number retirement is the greatest honour a player can receive - greater than the Hall of Fame. I see teams like Vancouver retiring the numbers of Markus Naslund or Stan Smyl, I just laugh. What a testament to organizational mediocrity.
If we're going to go 'sentimental' rather than insist on standards, then Koivu should get it waaaaay before Markov. But again, I reject the premise.
I like Commandant's Toe Blake idea. But the Habs have already degraded the currency with #5 and #12 (and maybe even #23). Give it a long rest.
As for post-Roy Habs, Price will probably be the first non-Cup winner to get his jersey in the rafters. And assuming he can assemble a couple more elite seasons and a couple of additional playoff drives, he would be worthy - a no-brainer candidate for any organization except the Canadiens. No Hab since Roy is even in the same league.
I think you meant to say: “After Price finally leads the Habs to the Cup he will be worthy- a no -brainer candidate...”

How about Alzner for Lucic, a 2nd and a 3rd?

I’m not sure about skyrocket, but if Phil Danault can go on a hot streak then so can Mete
-
What about Calvin Picard? He should be available cheap and he would be an upgrade on Niemi

What would it take to get Ottawa's pick from Colorado?
to Colorado:
Weber
2nd rounder
to Montreal:
Ottawa's pick
Ian Cole
In what universe would that be a good trade for Montreal? Oh yes, the one in which Yannick Weber is still a Canadien and is the main piece going to Colorado

Bruins taking a lot of liberties that were not called. Even if they were, our Powerless Play is no deterent
All I want for Christmas is a better power play and a winning record on the road trip?

Mean is good when it is on your team and it is a “skill”that does not decline with age
-
True, but I was hoping Bergevin could turn at least one of the excess assets into at least a late pick. Oh well
-
What has Ouellet ever done to you? When we have injuries the more depth the better. I didn’t say I wanted him in a top six role in Montreal; I only said I hoped he wasn’t claimed so the team would have more depth in Laval
-
I think he will be claimed. Hope I am wrong, if not it will be the third player lost for nothing this season

When you are rebuilding, the best strategy is to have numbers. Have lots of prospects. Lots of lottery tickets. If Mete makes top 4, great. If he doesn't, one of your others does. The idea here is to hoard prospects. If we want to finish this rebuild, we need to add prospects at the defence position, not trade them away for guys who are 10 years older.
Mete should be one of many.
I’m not saying that we should go all in, but if Mete for Muzzin accelerates the “re-set” it should be considered. Don’t get me wrong, the last thing I want the team to do is to make an ill-advised trade, but again it depends on where they see Mete’s ceiling, and most importantly— that their assessment is correct.

Muzzin will be 30 before the playoffs start.
The habs are still in rebuild mode. Adding Muzzin is not enough to win a cup.
I have no interest in making moves to win now and sacrificing Mete and another prospect for a guy who is 10 years older.
Makes no sense for building this team IMO
I think it depends on how you value Mete. If he develops into a top 4 d maybe you are right. If not, maybe you make the deal. My crystal ball is foggy on Mete’s potential but it doesn’t seem that he has the offensive chops for top 2. Does the rest of his game push him into the top 4? If not, we have a plethora of 5-6 D men and they are not difficult to acquire if you need one.

He's played in every game this season and is still logging over 21 minutes per night. I don't think he's really been out of their good books. I'll also add that while he is a left-shot defender, I remember reading recently that he has stated in the past that he prefers to play the right side.
I stand corrected. I thought he had sat out
-
Michael Faber suggested on TSN that the Canadiens should explore a deal like Mete for Muzzin. Muzzin is 29 and not ufa this year so how about:
to
LA Mete, a 4th and a prospect ( not named Brook, or Suzuki)
to
Mtl Muzzin

Dont think calgary is interested in moving a top four defenceman for schlemko plus futures. They are battling for first in their division. Why are they moving him to get a 20 year old d, two thirds, and a cap dump?
Brodie was seriously out of favor with Calgary fans and was a healthy scratch earlier in the season. Has he worked his way back into the coaching staff’s good books?

What do you like about Larsson?, I don’t know anything about him.
