Poehling is the one prospect I really don't want to trade. Been a while since we've had one of those....
Poehling is untouchable for me. He's not Mathews but we need this type of player in our line-up.

Patch for a proven prospect plus a 1st. Look at the world juniors rosters and target a center or left D. It's a long shot but I've been looking at the Blues. They classify to me as a team that is close to going all in and Patch fits. I already know their fan base is interested in him. I'd love to pry Robert Thomas from them, even if we had to lower the pick from a 1st to a 2nd. They would still have other centers left in their system even after trading Thomas.
Ya, not quite untouchable for me, but damn close.Poehling is untouchable for me. He's not Mathews but we need this type of player in our line-up.
I think the Devils make a lot of sense. They could really use some secondary scoring behind Hall and I think Patches would A) Shine in their system, and B) Thrive as a secondary source of scoring.
Paval Zacha, Michael McLeod, and they still have their first rounder. We know that they Habs and Devils have chatted re: Galchenyuk so talks already have a foundation to start on. I think the basis of a deal is there.
The thing is, i dont think moving Alzner should be MB priority. Trading Max is lol
Reminds me of the days where I called McCarron untouchable. Now I'm not comparing Poehling with McCarron in any way, but I don't think he's untouchable.Poehling is untouchable for me. He's not Mathews but we need this type of player in our line-up.

Nobody is an untouchable

McCarron would have been a nice target in the mid rounds, but that pick was stupid from the get go.
No one on this roster is untouchable , especially if it's to acquire a top 2 C or a LHD. We have no McDavid or Matthews who are the definition of untouchable players.
Poehling is a fine prospect but he's still just that a prospect. If he is the missing piece in a reasonnable package that could land the Habs a early/mid 20's top 2 C or top 4 PMD you don,t really think twoce about it and you pull the trigger
Robert Thomas, Tage Thompson...2 prospect centers I'd look at from the Habs point of view.Patch for a proven prospect plus a 1st. Look at the world juniors rosters and target a center or left D.

At a $8.2M cap hit, one would hope so right?
While I like Giroux, he's not what he used to be and can't skate like he once did. He's playing on the wing for a reason. Then throw in the multiple concussions and caution must be factored into any decision.

I remember vividly when many here wouldn't have done Beaulieu+McCarron for Drouin when he requested a trade lol.I think the same way. Sometimes you can't hold onto your prospects forever. Tinordi was untouchable, Beaulieu was untouchable. If I could go back in time and trade Mac+Tinordi+1st for ROR everyone would do it.
Maybe Poehling turns into a stud, or maybe not he is a later 1st rounder not a top 3 pick in a historic draft. MB traded Serge who is a way better prospect.
I remember people scoffing at tradeing Mac at the TDL (I think I was even one of em). Hanzal for Mac might have helped the habs a lot more last year and wouldn't be hurting them at all this year since Mac isn't even on the big club.
True. But some are closer vs others. No way under any circumstances do I trade Poehling for short term success.
Not many would

I'm not giving up on McCarron yet. In his first year with London he was terrible. He couldn't skate and I couldn't believe he was drafted in the first round. He improved markedly the next year and the next. From the games I have seen this year, he is better this year than last. My impression is that he is a player that works very hard and learns well. He is 22.LOL!
McCarron always was a long shot at making it to the big league, IMO. Yes he's big, yes he can skate. I just don't see the puckhandling or vision in his game.
LOL!
