Lioks like Mike Weaver heading to Montreal #flapanthers

we can win 1-0 now


Mike Weaver atleast 4 threads

 

[Habs 4 Life]

We picked up Drewiske for a pick and don't even play the guy, we traded Diaz last month for crap and now were going to give up another pick to get a player that I wouldn't even be surprised if he doesn't play

Good job if we get this done!!!

 

[Andy]

He's a good defender, but at that point, I would have just kept Diaz.

 

[Ezpz]

Trade Bouillon and a 7th for him maybe. Outside of that it would be a bad trade no matter what. This team is not a contender or even close to it.

No idea if he's just piggybacking on Dreger's rumor or if he actually knows anything.

Hopefully its for nothing more then a 3rd or a 4th.

 

[Habaneros]

Mike Weaver = Ray Bourque,,,win one for Weaver.

 

[Agalloch]

Diaz doesn't hit.

Weaver is an upgrade but not that much. If it's a draft pick, I hope it's 5 to 7th round.

 

[Stjonnypopo]

I bet we traded a 2nd and a prospect for a guy who'll have little to no contribution, and then he'll leave at the end of the season.

 

[DJ Breadman]

This guy would actually be an upgrade on our terrible terrible d

 

[Benched]

Any chance we can get Holland back?

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...really, what's the point of this move, except that he's a righty??...if this is true and it's our only "deadline move", I'm officially on the #FireBergevin bandwagon...

 

[WeThreeKings]

Jesus christ..

I'm so close to being ready to accept the fact we are going to have another 5-7 years of a clueless ****ing GM.

 

[Tuggy]

Doesn't everyone around here complain about how the D sucks? Well this guy is a solid defensive D.

 

[sheed36]

If this is true will Tinordi be the odd man out and sent down?

Fialkov is the worst beat writer ever. Don't put much stock in to what he says.

this is how BlaCKHAWKS built...
where now at year 1.325

If they're trading for Weaver, who btw, is a pretty decent #6/7 dman...i'm fine with this as long as it means they're waiving Bouillon

Our best player is on injured reserve. This is not the ****ing trade deadline to buy anything. This is sell sell sell year.

 

[Ekblad]

You guys, if he ends up a hab Im certain you will become fans of his. He barely makes a mistake defensively, and he has been a consitant good presence on our d corps for several years.
dont let his size fool you, he's extremely under rated

this htis & this

and that we are not sending Tinordi down.

 

[Hannibal]

WTF MB?

I think he is on drug.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I would do Weaver for Dumont/Holland + 4th.

 

[Forsead]

Doesn't everyone around here complain about how the D sucks? Well this guy is a solid defensive D.

We need a top 4 d, not a guy like Weaver.

 

[Milhouse40]

It's official

 

[hototogisu]

Strickland is reporting it too (who is not exactly a pillar of credibility when it comes to trade talk but he has some connections)

Mike Weaver has been traded to Montreal. Believed to be picks coming other way #Panthers #Habs
