and who do we have that equals a Seth Jones?
Not sure I get the purpose of this question...
and who do we have that equals a Seth Jones?
Bergevin is trying to win.
Andrighetto+Scherbak+Tinordi+1st for Drouin
Over payment, maybe
Worth it, yup
Plus I'd start talking to them about Stamkos... just to get the ball rolling.
Personally, I'd rather have Stamkos
Interesting point. I'd always felt that way about Therrien but I handn't thought of things in terms of our GM.i get the impression he's more focused on trying "not to lose".
subtle, but important difference.
Drouin - Chuck and Gallagher would be too small. You'd want to mix it up a little.Drouin - Galchenyuk - Gallagher
That'd be a crazy line of skills and implication. Then imagine :
Pacioretty - McCaron - XxX
Well apparently McKenzie said on the radio that Tampa won't move Drouin to a team like OTT or MTL unless our offers are "light years" better than anything else on the table.
So...it would be cool to land Drouin and all but is he worth giving up the farm for? Not so sure.
Kypreos suggested during the intermission last night that it would cost Galchenyuk to get Tampa to deal him to us. Is that something worth doing? I don't think so personally (and neither did Kypreos).
I heard the same thing on the NHL network yesterday, we'd have to really overpay. I don't see it happening. Sucks but he's in our division. When he does get traded people will flip out on MB for it but I can't say I blame him for not wanting to overpay on a guy who the jury is still out on.Well apparently McKenzie said on the radio that Tampa won't move Drouin to a team like OTT or MTL unless our offers are "light years" better than anything else on the table.

We can't deal away Beau. Markov's pretty much done and that would leave us with Petry and PK.I agree... Galchenyuk is a non-starter for sure.
But, if the best Anaheim offer is Sorenson, Manson and a 3rd and Montreal offers Scherbak, Beaulieu and a 2nd... What does Yzerman do? Accept the worse offer because he's so scared of Drouin becoming a great player in Montreal? We also have to remember that Yzerman and Cooper don't like Drouin enough to make peace with him and play him.
That is a ridiculous overpayment for a guy who is not even in the NHL!!
Ghetto plus our 2 seconds this draft.
How do you know Scherbak alone won't prove to be a better player than Drouin, just because he was drafted higher?
Sweet Jesus talk about ponying up for potential, Cooper is a good coach and if Drouin is not in Tampa's lineup its for a reason folks.

Colorado has put Gormley on waivers. RH D. I always liked him, although I don't know if he has the speed to play in the NHL. I haven't seen him play in awhile.
I wonder if he clears?
Kypreos is one of the biggest idiots in Hockey coverage.
I wouldn't listen to a word he has to say, because i honestly don't think any team would talk to him about anything, and therefore he is just talking to hear his own voice and make himself look involved.

Non sequitur.
Drouin made the request. Steve Yzerman was not shopping him.
Your one-liners are not smart or witty in any sense, and show mental inability to reason.
Well he is now!!
Those are all legitimate concerns...my thought was that we'd have cap to sign Stamkos and this seems like the kind of market that would be appealing to him based on the comments from some that know him. Secondly, this is the time to get a guy under contract long term. The dollar is low and that has kept the cap low. In a couple years once the dollar goes to 80 cents, the cap hit will seem like more of a bargain. It's a risk in terms of signing him though.
As far as captaincy goes...I don't see him as a defining leader for this team. I could name three people ahead of him who would fit that role better. I don't want to get side tracked but I don't think it's as big of an issue as it would be with other teams.
In terms of patches cap hit, how many more seasons does he have on that contract? One of the things people always point to is the apocalypse of his and price's contract ending at the same time. This move would mitigate that a point IMO

He can wait as long as he likes. Stamkos possibly leaving, having a fairly bare cupboard, the ELC counting peanuts against the cap.
Drouin will not get his wish until Steve Yzerman gets a perceived maximum return.
I don't see why the Habs, or any team for that matter, should/would trade a
1st round pick in a package for Drouin.
