Will Snow trade JT's rights around the draft, to give a team negotiating rights to JT? Would MB be in on that?
If not, come July 1 would MB load up his offer to JT with a signing bonus that other teams can't match? 25M the day of the signing?? Higher? The Habs do have money other teams don't and they certainly have the desperation...
The Blues I don't see him there. They have no goalie
Anyone else thinks that signing Tavares would mean Patches stays? Also, I don't think we can resign him if that's the case.
But with Tavares and a high pick, Bergevin might think that the team could go for it. This would mean Patches gets extended to a terrible contract thanks to playing with Tavares. Or he walks for nothing.If we keep Max for a year and let him walk it will be a huge error. If we sign him at market value we will regret it. Regardless of what JT does, I'm convinced the best thing to do with Max is to get value out of him for the future. He should have gone last week but alas, that train has left the station.
What I want.
Trade Patches, Weber, Andrew Shaw ( in a package ). to get young players/ prospects with top 6C and top pair potential, along with 1sts.
I would be prepared to look at moving Chucky and Gallagher if need be.
Yea , means im throwing in the towel for a couple of years anyway. I want a Cup, not one and out playoffs.
What I fear:
MB , who by the way thought getting Bonino was a good idea and offered more money apparently than the Preds. ( too bad he didnt do that with Rads, huh) goes for a half ass borderline 2C/ 3C for centre. Overpays for yet another damn 4D.
So we are set up for trying to hit a wild card spot for the next 3 years until Weber starts to possibly decline with a greatly declining value.
Welcome to the Dark Ages Part Deux. ( from that Charlie Sheen movie comedy ).

Would anyone move Galchenyuk for another top 10 pick and a large haul?
Hmm. Maybe you should talk to Carter Hutton and his league-leading .934 save percentage.
I would keep playing lindgren and see what we could get for him with the blues
Get the 1st overall by giving up our 1st rounder and 2 of our 2nd rounders.
There's also no point in trading up with a top 10 pick. Our prospects are not that good, 4 seconds will help that.That would never be accepted. Not even all four 2nds + 1st would get you that pick.

Bergevin said that trading up is hard, I don't expect him to do it.You know what I think is the prototypical Timmins move? I see the Habs having the 8th pick and trading a 2nd to move up and make sure they get Dobson.
Kind of like in 2007 they tried hard to move up to get McDonagh who just fell into their lap anyways. But I see Trevor loving Noah.

I will be very unhappy with another Shaw like trade. Idiot didn't even wait to see what was available at his first 2nd.It’s hard when you always trade away your 2nds before the draft
