alfredoh2009 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 RDs are hard to find. Doing the mock expansion draft was difficult for me for that perspective Habs will need to draft RDs this year and go hunting for one in the off season for short-term ( Weber stop gap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 The one player that I didn’t want picked. Oh well, onto the offseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Will wait and see whether this is real, or whether Francis is tossing red herrings about. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Drouin, I would think, would have depended on what their research told them about his "issues." If he has addiction issues, for example, I would steer the hell away. If anxiety or depression are the issue, then if I'm Francis, I give him serious consideration. Byron, ha ha, no. Fleury: I liked him, but he never seemed to get the call-up, so presumably the Julien-DD regime was not sold. Oh well. He probably tops out as a #5 anyway.

I'd not absorb any cap hit, or lose assets for another to do so, if I know Drouin can't/won't play in MTL. You tell him it's either deal with whatever his issues are and play here, or stay on LTIR...that no trade to accomodate him will be made if it costs us anything of value or cap....and if he doesn't like it, retire. We've given up enough (Sergachev)...stop the bleeding and be done with him another way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalhabs Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I hope Bergevin didnt give some pick or something for them not to take Price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan84 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I think it was always between him or Kulak from Seattle's standpoint. Based on their selections they are planning on going for cheap contracts unless it's the guy they really want. It really is unfortunate that all these leaks are happening. Kind of adds no excitement for the reveal at 8pm. Same thing happened with Vegas though. You knew the team ahead of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Was kind of hoping it would be Drouin or Kulak. Big, young, right-handed defensemen with upside are a valuable commodity. That said, he's coming off a down year and is a project. Not a big loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 It is kind of ridiculous that so many of the Kraken picks have already been leaked. No need to watch tonight at 8pm I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 The only picks we don't know are Chicago, NYR and Detroit. However we don't know the side deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan84 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 One good thing for Cale Fleury is that he will get a chance to play with his brother as Haydn Fleury is the selection from the Ducks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan89 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 What's the point of watching it tonight now?? Very bad job of Seattle keeping these pick quite until the live broadcast of the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I guess now we wait to see if Bergevin blinked and gave up an asset to protect Price or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey's remains one of the most difficult to move contracts in the league, the Kraken never wanted to take it on with all their other goaltending options. As it is, smooth maneuvering by Bergy to keep Allen. Fleury was always going to be available, we'll see if he pans out. Guess it's Josh Brook's time to step up.

Smooth maneuvering by PRICE to keep Allen ... from all reports, MB did not approach Price asking him to waive his NMC (which I believe MB would have had to do by a week ago yesterday) ... Carey approached MB shortly before the deadline for players to waive their NMCs (end of last week) ... having never asked Price to waive his NMC, clearly MB was willing to either lose Allen or trade him and lose someone else ... Price managed the roster perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huzer Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Plot twist! Price gets traded to Seattle with $ retained. Wouldn't that be a kicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
