Machine of Loving Grace Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 I guess we can now say that Eliotte Friedman's sources are not playing around. Extremely accurate. Quote
Davehab Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 anyone give any thought to this Kane rumor floating around? Quote
Machine of Loving Grace Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 anyone give any thought to this Kane rumor floating around? If it has to do with Evander, the Jets are rolling so there's no need for them to trade anybody. Quote
Guest Stogey24 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Word on the street is Mike Richards is on the block.... Quote
ICEWATER77 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 idk stoge, Chicago's playing well. i'd bet they wait it out and see whether or not their offense comes around Quote
hab29RETIRED Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Another washed bum. Word on the street is Mike Richards is on the block.... Quote
hab29RETIRED Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Your thinking Brad RichardsBoth Richards are waged up. Mike Richards is now a 4th line centre in LA. Quote

Guest Stogey24 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Both Richards are waged up. Mike Richards is now a 4th line centre in LA. Look at L.A's depth at centre. I think he's over paid, but he could still put up numbers if he was given more minutes. Not really like we need another C any ways though I guess Quote
Machine of Loving Grace Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 They were about to buy him out over the summer but he promised to work out and get in shape. He's signed until the summer of 2020 and he's already stumbling. Think about that for a second. Quote

dlbalr Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Rene Bourque asked for trade last season and #Habs chose to keep him. Another yr on contract doesnt help chances of being moved— Andy Strickland (@andystrickland) November 20, 2014 There are 2-3 teams who have poked around on Bourque but Montreal will likely have to take back a contract they don't want #Habs— Andy Strickland (@andystrickland) November 20, 2014 Quote

I assume the potential acquired player will not likely have a spot on the Mtl roster if the team shipping them out wants to play Bourque. Ideally, he could be dumped for a pick but I guess that is not likely since he went unclaimed on waivers. Quote

I'd be fine taking a bad contract that ends this year to get rid of Bourque's contract that lasts next year. Like Tomas Fleischmann. Quote

Does it carry a cheaper cap hit? If the answer to either of those is yes and assuming the Habs consider Bourque as deadweight, there's a reason to take one bad deal for another. Trading Bourque for a pick is out of the question without retaining salary. A few games in Hamilton isn't enough to sway a teams' opinion on him. Quote

After all the NHL is a business and saving money is directly related to making money, even if the potential deal has little to no impact on the roster or the on ice performance of the team. Quote
Machine of Loving Grace Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Bob McKenzie said that David Perron of the Edmonton Oilers is "as good as gone" in Craig MacTavish's pursuit of a top six center. Word is that he's likely to goto an Eastern Conference team. Let that stew in your head. Quote

hab29RETIRED Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I'd rather keep Eller. Eller and Patyrn for yakapov I'd be happy with. seems reasonable swap. Quote
dlbalr Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I'd rather keep Eller. Eller and Patyrn for yakapov I'd be happy with. Any Montreal fan would. Instead of getting a guy who's a year away from free agency in Perron, you're getting a player a couple years being removed from being the #1 pick, all for the extra cost of a 24 year old AHL defenceman whose ceiling is that of a #6 guy. Of course the Habs would prefer that deal...there's not a chance Edmonton would though. Quote
