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?

Mciver 1 punched Tousignant. Still 1-1 mid-2nd.

Pateryn is one behind team leaders in goals after his 9th, again on the PP, in 1st period, to go up 1-0 but now 1-1 1/2 way through 1st. Matching cages, Chouinard puck in face for 11 stitches and LL had nose broken in 2nd Heat game on weekend. Dietz is scratched with swollen eye from fight, so may have 3 guys in cages next game.

If you are OK with 14-51-48 as 3 of 4 centres, then yes, i can see why you would be OK with Eller going for Kane or the like in a winger. But, you also cant come back later and say forward group is too small and need to trade for or draft a big centre anytime in near future, or even a centre who is 50%+ on faceoffs. And you do realize that the Habs aint got an abundance of big centres in the system neither.

Eller is #1 F.O. guy, #1 forward in hits, #1 in blocked shots (but 9th in Habs forwards for PP time). He is 6'2" 215lbs and 24years old and people want him traded for a prospect? U kidding me? does that make sense after 1,000,000 Smurf-Hobbit snide comments on team forward group? Hard group to please.

Diaz played 25:26 for knuckleheads with 4 shots on net (and couple others blocked). So, you are supposed to put a player in the lineup, that you don't think can help you win and possibly sacrifice a game or two, just to ensure you get a 2nd round pick instead of a 3rd? And comments are from same people who totally freaked out when Subban missed 4 or 5 shifts, claiming it cost that game, when need to do all u can to win every game? Seems an odd stance. Frickin morons Bergevin-Dudley-LaCarriere-Lapointe-Mellanby, what the f... do they know about hockey and asset management, can you trade a whole Mgmt group? I am sure Milbury-McGuire-Lawton-Fergeson jr. and others are available to replace these idiots! Come on Molson, pull the trigger!

Silfverberg-Pirri are not same as a Conacher and would need a lot to get either one. A big young good skating RFA centre, of course Habs just have too many of those, ship him!

Boullion may go, but Murray is being extended. (I hope)

Got to say I like trade, hope Diaz can help Canuck PP and Weise adds some energy, speed and good forecheck to 4th line. And the 2 Manitoba boys played well togeather in Weises' first game.

The lil Swiss Kid got 4 points, but a -1. 3 pp goals for Dogs, is a positive.

2 points 4th place in the East

White and Weise are nice additions with energy, White 5shots/2 hits & Weise 3&3
