"Sources suggest a few teams have shown interest in defenseman Alexei Emelin, who has two more years on his contract at a $4.1-million cap hit. But the hard-hitting Russian has a full no-move, so unless his camp approaches Habs management and asks for a move, I can't see how he goes anywhere."

If can get a 2nd and 3rd, would be super, two 2nds is best case scenario I would guess.

Not sure what a Markov might bring...if he was dealt to a contender. Obviously an expiring contract and maybe a 2nd pick? Eller maybe a 2nd also?

What's the most we could get back at the deadline? A 2nd? Don't see teams paying too much for our players.

I think Eller fits more into a player-player swap than a player-pick type of move. His cap hit I think is too high for teams to comfortably absorb outright for someone who slots best as a 3rd line centre. They'll want to offset some of that money.

It may not be worth it to deal Eller, as we'd probably get someone similarly mediocre or worse.

Both Friedman and Lebrun have been saying they THINK that Bergevin already decided to sell awhile ago, but is waiting for the deadline.

And Lebrun is saying they want to re-sign Byron, but every other UFA is available.

I'll be ok seeing Weise go, guy forgot he is supposed to hit, and always tries the cute chip passes etc, like a skilled guy, which he isn't.

If he was the same player we got in the first place he would be a keeper, but now he sees his role differently, and I see his role elsewhere.

Byron has got some kinda speed, so not a bad signing considering he is a weapon on the PK.

That's because our damn useless coach sees him as a PP specialist and top 6 forward.

Well if the rumors are true that the Rangers bid on Byron, we can't trade him without offering him to the Rangers first.

He also might be worth it at a 1 million salary or so.

Byron is basically what Weise was when we acquired him. We can keep him at a cheap price and he can contribute to the bottom six. We had seven SHG last year. We've had eight so far and Byron was involved with five of them (three goals, two assists). That's an asset we should keep.

Louie Jean noted one teams executive said Subban's name "has come up", as far as being on the market.

Maybe would be good if he was traded, at least it would be a blockbuster trade many seem to be always asking for.

I'm 99% sure teams are calling Bergevin and not the other way around. If I'm wrong, and Geoff Molson lets me be wrong, welcome to the return of 1995-96.

Yeah, of course, if Isles GM calls, Bergevin may ask if he'd want to get Subban in exchange for Tavares, Leddy and a pick. Why not ?

Unless Conner mcdavid is the player coming back we would be idiots for making that move. It would be the Roy trade all over again.

I've said this before. If the Habs trade Subban, I will seriously reconsider my fandom. I lived through this with Roy; never again. The return would have to be undeniably spectacular.
