From what I’ve seen, I completely agree, but it doesn’t make Domi a not good player

No it makes it another Bargain Bin special, of trading a good player for a much less good player.

See Subban, P.K. and Sergachev, Mikhail

You keep repeating that formula, you start drafting in the top 3 regularly, but never actually getting ahead.

The franchise is likely f***ed for the next decade with the high school dropout making these asinine trades.

I won't argue about the abilities of Max Domi, if it isn't obvious after the first ten games next season, someone isn't actually watching the games being played. UFA signings of Paul Stastny, Joe Thornton & John Carlson should take $21 mil with 14 regulars signed with $10-11 mil. left, signing Plekanec as an insurance policy for injuries may be advisable. Habs win their 25th SCC after going 4th last this season. Center or defence will be solid IMHO barring serious injuries.( Good Beers like I'm drinking improve your insight, outsight definitely blurry. LOL)

Statsny sounds like he’s probably going to stay in Winnipeg. Probably for the best. Thornton is over the hill and not going to leave San Jose unless it’s to a serious contender. We don’t need another guy who can’t finish anyways. And John Carlson doesn’t fill a need at all. RHD is the one area we’re actually strong in. Throwing stupid money at him would make no sense. Getting all those pieces regardless doesn’t make us on contender anyways. It may get us back into playoff territory.

Friedman the phony never ever said Domi to Montreal, not once. Every year they put AG and Max on the trade bait board, because eventually they have to get it right. I have never seen an 'insider' who gets nothing right, more than Elliot, he's a huge tool. Why on earth do they have that fool commenting on games, its awkward watching the ex-nhl'ers look at him for insight.

Elliott is a phoney...lol, you're out to lunch

We need a #1 PMD regardless of handedness, and Carlson would fit. Petry is offensively inept. Shea Weber lets his partner do the pucking carrying and is a liability in road games. Carlson is a complete package...and "reunites" with AHL partner Alzner.

We went all in on Weber. And Petry is actually a very good 3D, especially considering he plays the right side. What we need is a couple of puck moving defenceman on the left side, at the minimum 1. Carlson is a liability in his own end which would mean we’d have to acquire a partner to play with him like we already have to and have failed the first two years with Weber. The right side is fine. It’s the left that’s a mess right now.

Winnipeg has a winner in Paul, as for Joe Thornton I will post this in the next playoffs if he's a Hab. Over what hill Everest, not worried about Joe's desire to win the SCC as well, age doesn't kill desire Believe Dat!!!... watched the Habs beat Boston in 1969-1970 with many rookies & veterans, character & desire in anything helps humans overcome any obstacle. The Habs personified that spirit for people everywhere, playing hockey as only they could.:nod::nod::nod:

Carlson can make his LD better because he's the elite guy on his pairing. Likewise with Weber and Petry on the lower pairs.

Carlson is the polar opposite of Weber. Weber is an elite shutdown while Carlson is an elite offensive defenceman. Without the right partners, they’re both liabilities, one because he can’t transition, one because his defending is brutal. You bring in Carlson, you need to find a partner for both him and Weber, because you can’t pair them together. Given how hard Bergevin is having just finding a partner for Weber over an extensive amount of time, that wouldn’t be easy. And it’s not like Carlson would ever consider us unless we threw stupid money at him that would make us look dumb anyways.

Domi is not good at hockey??

He is.

But that's not really the issue with Bergy most of the time. It's adressing needs, building a balanced team and noticing trends in what makes teams win. That, and properly assessing his assets' value.

Bud you literally said Domi was not good at hockey. No need to be a **** because you used hyperbolic and got called out on it. Everyone does it.
Figurative - look it up.

You can be "good at hockey" at different scales and not just good OR bad. Shocking, isn't it?

If you think Domi is a bottom six player then Idk what I can say to convince you otherwise.
would be curious to know how many Arizona games one can watch from the comfort of their NB home ?

or maybe peeps get the NHL package to watch all thos super exciting Yotes games... I dunno...

Max Domi isn't good at hockey? Wow you shoudl go public with this info man.

I feel like hf needs to make people take a grade 3 reading comprehension test before letting them post and waste everyone's time.

He said it seems like a cost controlled player was more of a priority than being good at hockey. He didn't say that domi isn't a good player.

And he's right.
