Like Gonchar at his age, never a All Star again but can still put up some offense and move the puck as well as ever.

Is the Big Swede out of commission?

Price knows who is in the other net. And seems to be winning starting job match-up.

Will Czarnik suit up for Dogs next game, in Ottawa?

Of course may be better off standing pat, but boring and I just am worried every time ol #79 goes into a corner and knocked down. Which of course is dumb logic and whether trading Eller for Big fellow is good in long run, I don't know but he is just so "anti-smurf/hobbit" that seems attractive to me. So sick of hearing size critics, which I know is also dumb, but so gall darn irritating.

Markov and Byfuglien are apples/oranges and I would easily pay $5m/yr to #33Jet and would be 50-50 on the old Russian with wonky knees. 'Better' is very subjective term and more personal opinion. (and if you toss out some fancystats and funky graphs to back your statement I will get mad )

The Squid, uggg (talk about Diaz being soft, not as bad as that Toronto floater, he thinks missing 2 front teeth makes him tough)

I KNOW even my grandmother is a "lot" tougher than MAB! No one is that soft, Nygren maybe?

I concer and bottom line, 4th in East with 70% of season done? Isn't standings how a team is really judged? Sooner or later all the frustration must fade dosent it and people say, they are above my expectations and team doing OK? But, Habfans are very harsh critics and maybe always have been and will be?

I know numbers are point of worry, but I just hope Timmins really saw "something" and not just his dimensions and Lucic-worship that sold Habs on him?

To get the Big guy wouldn't be painless, e.g. Eller or the like, but he would instantly change the PP and grit/size whether at forward/or as a d-man. But Bergevin should know him quite well from Hawk days, maybe it aint in the cards and your worries about fitness/defensive liability may be big issues?

Possibly, Pateryn has ripped a PP goal from point in back to back games and with 9 goals is only 1 behind Andrighetto for team lead (which is kind of sad to say 10 leads Bulldogs). Post Olympics I would bet the big fellow or Pateryn will get another shot to prove themselves, especially with Habs playing 15 games in March, odds are an injury will crop up or Markov-Boullion get moved (unlikely but?). But, a RH d-man is likely on Bergevin's wishlist (Byfuglien), with all current RH d-prospects (Pateryn, Ellis, Dietz, Thrower, Didier) all not ready for 20minutes/game and most still years away from prime time.

Bang-on Joseph. They mentioned Canuck scout had him pegged as a upgrade to help PP and being scratched is what likely prompted Gillis to look to deal coach's dog-house player for dog-house player. And funny someone mentioned "certainly" Weise could of been had as a waiver pick-up? Based on what I wonder?

A what, Lobotomy?

You don't speak for fanbase, I do get your point, but I think Bergevin has done fine (no great nor poor) since summer 2012 and I have little trepidation or jitteriness as you say. Maybe (most likely it seems) am in the minority, but just saying Bergevin isn't 'disliked' by all and as dumb as many like to portray him to be. Habs history is totally irrelevant to Bergevin as GM (other than French mandate) and cant just lump him in with past Mgmt failures yet.

He still is a favourite prospect, Timmins recent pick of yours eh!

You said who will replace him. so 76-26 would be top pairing and 2nd could be Bufuglien and Yemelin, with 40-6 as 3rd pairing again and that would be fine by me.

I fall on other side, really aint too excited about trade, but fine by me and would rather see how Weise looks than a 3rd round pick and first game with White looked good. And he should be motivated to earn a contract, so may help his play also? If he is a scrub, no big deal, but I doubt he will be as bad as that sounds and no Canuck fan I know sees him like that.

I wouldn't deal Eller, but Kesler seems an interesting player, if Torts and Canicks keep on adding to 5 game losing streak? Maybe fairly even value, Kesler having a standard 50point year again and with many shitting on Eller's poor production this year, just thought what he might bring as #2 centre could be an upgrade?

Dogs keep streak going with 4-2 loss.

Pateryn joins the rush and sweet pass to Dumont for tying goal.

Pateryn has had several scoring chances and 5 of Dogs 17 shots, he has been playing very well the last 2 games..

Murray of course. Gorges is #2 right now. So more like who will play on 2nd pairing with Emelin/Beaulieu. I imagine Markov isnt going anywhere for 3 years (even though I wouldn't want to give him more than 2).

Watson scored, dogs down 2-1

Eller straight up for Ryan Kesler? $5m/yr, 6'2', 51.3%faceoff, 50points/yr (37 so far this year), 29 years old?
