I see you working, and I like that suggestion!Call me silly but at this point, no matter who the GM is, they'll be expected to pick Patrick Roy as the new head coach. Maybe that might turn off a guy like Jim Nill that he doesn't get to choose his coach but Nill might like that, having a coach with GM experience in the juniors. He'd probably relate to him better.
-
Like I said. A new GM is going go have to hire a French speaking coach. Like it or not. Would someone with Nill's resume want a job with that condition?
-
Would Nill take the job? Knowing the coach he hires has to speak some French. I ask this not to spark up that debate. I've decided life is easier accepting that we're not blowing the team up for a complete rebuild, and the next coach, and probably GM will speak French.
-
So Bourque is a minor league player? And we're the only team that would have him in the starting lineup? We can't have an all-star at every position. His cap hit is manageable. He's a piece of the puzzle going forward, with size. Nothing more, nothing less.
-
I'll say this, if the Caps get the 8th seed, the Bruins should easily sweep.
-
We've gotta go through the dog days of winter, with no hope. The team knows it, and is playing like it. And sadly, we'll probably draft 4th, and get a good, steady player. But not one of the two potential franchise players.
-
What did aliens do to deserve that contract?All I want is for Gomez to be abducted by aliens so he's off the books. Wishful thinking on my part.
-
If we assume the next coach must speak French, ya, forgetting all those European soccer coaches that don't speak the first language of the city they coach in, like that's relevant. Would Jim Nill take the job?
-
For what it's worth, Francois Gagnon did mention Jim Nill as an excellent candidate. He even tweeted that a francophone GM is not as important as coach.That's interesting about McGuire, but it's also a long time ago. Not sure youthful mistakes should be held against the guy forever. That being said, I don't want McGuire either. His main claim to fame is being a self-promoting loudmouth with an encyclopedic memory and a long list of blaring opinions. None of this makes him a self-evident choice to run an organization. We need a SERIOUS, impeccably qualified candidate with the right combination of people skills, knowledge, sang-froid and driving will to win. Too bad you never hear Jim Nill's name in this context.

What the **** are you talking about? This entire website agrees he stinks, and seemingly forgot how to play hockey. People seem to hope he at least finds his game, as his contract is tricky to move, or deal with.I agree entirely, but if you read some of the posts there are still people here who would fall on their sword for him. What we are talking about is real honest hockey value and not some slirpy love fest. What we are talking about is habs fan overstating their case.
-
You're onto something!So figure out which of the players is the greediest and see how hard he'll play for the extra cash!
-
I'm going to let you in on a little secret Zowpeb. Tanking is not the only way to build a team. Thankfully, the organization doesn't think like you. Go read The Cucumber's post in another thread.
-
You guys are pure comedy, debating a zero like Engqvist. But I'll say this. Is there nobody else in Hamilton that the organization can throw a bone to? As we know these call ups get a mega jump in pay for time spent in the big leagues.
-
How did this get back onto trading Subban? We basically all agree. We'd all prefer to keep him, but he's not untouchable.
-
I suppose it's the rumored offer from the Leafs for Nash that got me thinking. None of it excites me, from a Columbus perspective. And it really helps the Leafs long term. Provided it's true, and actually happened. You start negotiations by saying Subban is untouchable. You want our 1st round pick, what else, to get desired player? Didn't anyone see Moneyball? Good movie...
-
Ok, say Rick Nash. Off the top of my head. He's said he'd waive his no trade. It would give C-bus two high picks. It would be very complicated to pull off, he might not even want to play here. And, no doubt, we can all find stats that say he's not worth it. Just a thought....ok, Nash is a winger, but...
ExactlyI do it for Eric Stall,but it would take more
-
Let's face it, this lottery pick stuff is not how we roll. This website would implode, but what if we trade our 1st round pick for a bonafide number one center? It's a proposal thread, so I'm proposing. I'm not suggesting it's the right thing to do, but Cole, Gionta and a hopefully healthy Markov are not getting any younger. To do such a deal, the player would ideally be signed long term, and I suspect the Gomez contract would have to be dealt with to make the numbers fit. Now that would be wild.
-
So one forgives on behalf of the other? LOLThe only thing that we can possibly do to draft higher is to trade Plex-Price-Cole-Gomez-Gorges, etc for 4th liners and picks.
These guys will never tank. And never they should.
No. but they are both mod or admin of this forum.
-
Is JMMR and dlbair the same person?You are forgiven good sir.
Ayone ice surfing right now.
Leafs blew a lead in OT
Malkin so good he scores with his chest.
-
Trade Cole and Gionta for picks? Sounds like Columbus or the Islanders to me. Thank God that's not how this team operates.
-
I had high hopes for this player. I suppose it's early to say, but, he looks like he'll have a nice career in the Swedish Elite League.
-
Interesting stuff. To me, Bourque looks like a Bruin/Flyer. He'd fit right in with either of those teams. He might be another one of those generic pieces, but he'd make them that much tougher to beat. That's why I like the trade. If he brings his A game when playing the Bruins, at least it gives them something to think about. In the long run, our small feisty players can't get over the hump anyway. They came close in 2009, sure. We still have Plex, Desharnais and Brendan Gallagher in the pipeline, to maintain that style.
-
Good. I just hope we develop him, and he plays here for the next 15 years.
-
So now Lebrun's been told Subban is available. This he's supposed to have reported on Le 5 a 7 on RDS. If that's the case, can the Molsons sell the team back to somebody with a clue?

If Gomez ever scores at home, he'll probably get a sarcastic standing ovation. Would he "tip his cap"?
