Oleg Petrov Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Bold prediction: when the roster freeze ends, Murray gets sent to Toronto for a sixth-round pick. Trading within your division is crazy, agreed, but Bob knows that if he waivers Murray (which makes sense to me even if Lapierre isn't called up), the now Peca-less Leafs will scramble for him like they did for Chad Kilger, and the Habs will still be on the hook for half of Murray's paycheque. Whaddyer think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Not sure Oleg but Murray appears to not be playing tonight he was on the ice for a long time after the skate working hard with Muller and Niinimaa. Murray needs to be moved in my opinion. An hour or so after the skate Murray was walking dt Washington by himself, not sure where to but he did not look like a happy camper.

Hockey's Greatest Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Gotta keep Downey. He's turning into a scoring machine!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 So lets trade our junk Aebischer + Niniimaa + Murray + 1st draft pick.. What can we get for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Aebischer is not going anywhere! Niinimaa is not going anywhere! Murray not sure where he is headed but he will be gone soon! And why deal a draft choice right now the habs chemistry is amazing right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortHanded Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 An hour or so after the skate Murray was walking dt Washington by himself, not sure where to but he did not look like a happy camper. you saw him? Gotta keep Downey. He's turning into a scoring machine!!! LOL!! That's right, put him on the first line! Never mind Higgins OR Latendresse OR Ryder. THIS is the right winger for that line!

JMMR Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 you saw him? yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneSharpMarble Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 We shouldn't keep either one, Lapierre and Kosty deserve those spots. Make a package out of Aebischer, Murray, Downey, Samsonov and Niinima and get a good center, the ones you have left can maybe get us some good prospects/picks or just keep in case of injuries.

JMMR Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 FOR THE LAST TIME NIINIMAA AEBISCHER AND SAMSONOV ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneSharpMarble Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 FOR THE LAST TIME NIINIMAA AEBISCHER AND SAMSONOV ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. Oh are you Gainey? Because if you aren't than YOU DON'T KNOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Oh are you Gainey? Because if you aren't than YOU DON'T KNOW! Yeah unless a great offer comes along but I do not know many teams shopping a GREAT Backup, excellent defensive depth and a quality offensive player, because that is what the Canadiens would need back for these guys. I will guarantee right now that after Feb. 27th the three aforementioned players are with the Canadiens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will guarantee right now that after Feb. 27th the three aforementioned players are with the Canadiens. First of all, lets be serious. The way Aebischer has been playing "great" is stretching it, "excellent defensive depth" means he's old? because I wouldn't put Niinima in the "excellent" catagory if it doesn't mean he's old. And a quality offensive player sounds ok even though he had a 20 game scoreless streak. And no we wouldn't need the exact same thing back because we have plenty of great players ready to take whatever spots open up. We already roll 7 Dmen even without Niinima. Hell if we traded all 5 we would still be laughing. Higgins - Koivu - Ryder (The winger we trade for) - (The center we trade for) - Kovalev Perez - Bonk - Johnson Lats - Plecs - Lapierre/Kosty Hell you could even put Kosty on the second line. And don't forget Streit can play center if need be. We have talent, our guys are fairly valuable I see this as a good time to fix the areas that require fixing. Danis or Halak could serve as backup, Danis played fairly well when he was given the shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niinimaa was playing well on his proper side but when Dandenault went out he had to switch sides making it much more difficult to play. Since Dandenault has been back his play has improved again.
