Athlétique.Canadien Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I hope this is true and then all the Gainey bashers can stuff it. Notice how our lack of heart (Euro in 2009) is being turned into a Canadian/American heart and soul down to the blood team? YES! :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexstream Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 So, basically, Moen + Gill + Mara for a tad more than the price of Pussy-Komi?

soflhabfan Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 so much for the youth movement. looks like gainey has been given a mandate to win now, no more 5 year plans.mara and moen both have size, so the habs should be able to easily hold their own with the big imposing, but plodding leafs.moen can certainly take care of business, when necessary. just ask shea weber.

I don't care about matching up to the Leafs. I care about matching up to the Bruins, Penguins, Capitals and Flyers: the real powers of the East. The Leafs will be a loud mouthed distraction, but little to back it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexstream Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 This is a RUMOUR (of the worst quality : "I heard from a guy who heard from a guy who's got a source close to the janitor"), hence I'm putting it in the RUMOUR thread (see Fanpuck!?) SJ gives : Marleau Habs gives : Plekanec + S. Kost + Halak I just hope it's not just a rumour... Marleau is like my dream center. imagine him ripping it off on the "2nd" line with Cammalleri and A. Kost... ouch. (for that to happen, we'd have however to get rid of Hamrlik's contract) I'm not usually posting such rumours, but this one actually makes sense : -Trade Kitty-Plekanec for a guy who can actually play -Trade S. Kost mafia (A. Kost wasn't a problem until S. Kost came into town as a permanent player?!) -Get some value for Halak before he gets the f out because we're not playing him -Get rid of mafia Hamrlik and his 5.5M contract (till 2011) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokyohabs Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) I think that same scenario has been floated on here. But the problem remains moving Hamrlik's contract in all this. The only way I see him out is to a team that has to reach the cap floor. Also, that would leave us a bit thin on d I think, with Gorges back into the top-4 and Gill at the bottom pairing having to play with O'Byrne, maybe Weber or Carle. Ouch. But that would be a very, very nice trade for us in terms of forward unit. Who's the janitor? Edited July 11, 2009 by tokyohabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTH Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 SJ gives : Marleau Habs gives : Plekanec + S. Kost + Halak Dream trade but it would definitely mean moving Hamrlik. Suppose we make this trade and then dump Hamrlik for a package of picks & prospects (or a single 7th rounder, it makes no difference for this post). On D we'd have Markov, Spacek, Gill, Mara, Gorges, Dandenault and O'Byrne. This is decent but we're clearly lacking a top 4 D as all of Mara, Gill and Gorges seem like, at best, #4s. I like Dandy because we seem like we'll only be able to afford 22 roster players. Dandy can act as 7th D and 13th forward. At forward.... oh, man. Pacioretty-Gomez-Gionta Kostitsyn-Marleau-Cammalleri Latendresse-Lapierre-Moen Stewart-Metropolit-Laraque This is without mentioning D'Agostini, Chipchura or Dandenault. We would need to invest in a new back up goaltender though. Kolzig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskhab Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 San Jose has major cap issues, and Marleau is a UFA in a year, so it makes sense that he's a target for trade again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigRedC Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Let's not forget that this would also provide the team with its captain. He's done it in SJ, he can certainly do it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should trade Gomez for Saku and reduce our cap hit while getting some leadership. LMAO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's also part of the reason he's being mentioned as a trade target, though. San Jose feels they need a shakeup in leadership after so many disappointing playoff runs. I still think that if Markov doesn't get elected as the captain in training camp, there won't be one, and eventually one of the new guys will fill that role.

REV-G Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I came to the Permanent Rumour Thread to ask if anyone had heard of us talking with the Sharks about a deal, and you're already talking about it. Eklund (sorry) posted a comment that San Jose is trying to get in on the Heatley deal but negotiations over a deal with Montreal is taking longer than they expected. If there is any truth to that rumour then there has got to be a good chance that it is Marleau (38 goals last year) that they may be talking about. Wow, that would be an amazing pickup for us! I don't want to move Halak, but if we could get Marleau then a package including Halak would be worth it. If this is true I hope Gainey signs Marleau to an extension and not wait till UFA season next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
