When Price is healthy, I'd deal montoya. Even if it imeans a 6th or 7th in return.

Yes it is. Yes it is.

Winners of 5 of their last 7. told you this team would turn it around. That it was just a weird slump, and they would be a playoff club. Turned it around faster than i thought they would.

Freidman talked about the Habs heavily scouting Europe. Who is worth scouting? http://lastwordonhockey.com/2017/11/05/montreal-canadiens-free-agent-options-europe/

Lindgren looks much better than Montoya.

Ottawa got hosed. Duchene is not a huge upgrade on Turris.

So there is a threat to do something shen they are on the ice instead of get dominated in possession and take a penalty

Id call up holland. He can play centre in the nhl even if hes not a star. The other option is carr. Mccarron is not good

This team is not that old. 5 of the top 6 forwards are 25 ir younger.

Speaking of McCarron, he's useless. Send him back to Laval and get Holland or Carr up.

Tank the season.... oh wait... we are good.

Annoying to totally outplay them and be tied.

PP may not have scored but it looked good. Now a PK.

If his job is in as much jeopardy as you think, Geoff Molson will not let him trade his most popular player. You don't authorize a GM on thin ice to make such a deal.

The last ome happened 2 years into his contract... not before the contract began. And you burn a guy for the second time on an ntc issue? Bergevin is going to have to overpay to get anyone in free agency... even more than normal. He will lose players and agents trust.

The french thing doesnt have to apply for gm. They tried to hire jim nill previously and didnt cause his wife had cancer and he opted to not leave detroit during her treatments. The gm gives 4-6 press conferences a year. The coach gives like 200 (pre game. Post game. After practice). Its not the same requirement of working with the media. There is an assumption the gm must be french... but the last round of interviews indicated non francos would be considered.

Yeah he has his role. He was hired as a legal expert on the cba. He was hired as an expert on the salary cap. He has no experience in pro scouting or amateur scouting. Hes been good in his role but there is nothing on his resume that indicates hes an NHL gm. He isnt getting interviews for vacant gm jobs with other franchises. If he wasnt french would anyone even push him as an option in montreal? He isnt an option for anyone else. Thats a huge red flag for me.

Damien cox is as.big of a joke as steve simmons I dont take him seriously on any team. Not just montreal.

Do you really believe an ahl gm is stocking the team with talent or choosing the coach?

There was no craig anderson level goalie available last offseason... or the one before... or the one before that.

No The NHL GM oversees AHL teams They are full of prospects the team has drafted, and guys signed to two-way AHL/NHL deals. The NHL GM is hiring the AHL coach. He is the guy deciding on who will be in charge of developing the prospects. Building an AHL team is not done by an assistant GM, even if they get the ceremonial title of GM of the AHL team in some cities. So no, I don't give him credit for what those AHL teams did. Its not like being an OHL, or QMJHL GM where it is actually your team. Being the AHL GM is a paper pusher part of the title. The NHL GM says, hey we have an injury. We are calling up "x"... file the paperwork with the league please.

He doesn't look right. I'd rather he take a week or two off, and come back at 100% than what we've been seeing.

Also is this fanbase (not necessarily here) but on twitter going to freak out at every loss. They dug a hole, yes. They won 2/3 games. If they win 2/3 games from here to the end of the season, they will be a top team in the league. They aren't going to dig out of the hole with a 15 game winning streak. Losses will happen. You just have to consistently win more than you lose.

A team with 5 of their top 6 forwards 25 and under (exception Max) and with Carey Price signed for 9 years is not rebuilding. The same team who just signed price 4 months ago, is highly unlikely to trade him. He also has a 15 team NTC in his current deal and all teams next year.

Price's pushes didn't look right last night... now it comes out that he has a minor injury.
