sbhatt Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 That's 10 without a goal for Captain Slumpy. He is nothing if not consistent with his inconsistency...should have been shopping him hard around game 5 of his last hot streak, and had him moved by the 7th game. It's that damn predictable.

Trizzak Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Habsworld #KomandaT-72 update: Habs gained 1 point, Edmonton lost, Detroit lost, Florida lost. Vancouver might win. Vancouver lost. Not a great night Horrid night for The Tank. LA did get 2 points though, and are back in a playoff spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illWill Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 If it was back in my gambling days, I would have live bet the Habs to lose when there was 5 minutes left. The payout would be pretty good and it's easy money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a streaky player Do you think NHL GMs haven't noticed that inconsistency over the last 5 years? Do you think an NHL GM really values him more at game 5 of a goal scoring streak and game 5 of a drought? I don't. I think they all know he's the same guy... someone who normally scores 30, 35, but who does so by having peaks and valleys through the season. This isn't new, and I don't think current streaks have any effect on his value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We pass the Senators, but only the Senators tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is a proven commodity. More frustrating is that, in the year when we should be looking to trade him, the market is apparently glutted with LW. Sure, he's the best one of the bunch, but I could readily see a team going for Nash or Kane (say) on the grounds that they'll cost less and provide most of what he does. The glut is the reason - beyond the incompetence of our GM - that I don't think he'll move at the deadline. A smart GM would pull back if he can't get full value and see what falls out at the draft.

Agree on that. I've always said, if you don't get the value today, you hold him to the summer, or even into next season to get that value. The prices on Kane and Nash are still very high, and they are rentals. You get that top prospect centre + pick+ more, or you don't move him.

Regression happens even with snipers, his value could potentially fall further, then what? He might be 2nd line at best material by next season, Bergevin needs to pull the trigger at the deadline if the yield is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a market that includes, Nash, Kane, Maroon, Hoffman, Grabner is too crowded and supply and demand forces prices down, i have no issue waiting. He's 29, I have no issue waiting, I don't think he's regressing yet... but i don't want to sign him for 6 years either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit, the Habs are notorious for giving up goals to NHL newcomers and wins to goalies that nobody knew of until they were in the program.According to daily face-off, Georgiev is 12-11-2 with a .908 SV% Hartford (AHL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
