TSN: TSN radio reporting Pro Scout meeting

[anonymous9739872329]

I picture Bergevin blowing in a huge shell, then screaming "Scouting team assemble!!!!".

 

[Sterling Archer]

Hope they're looking at the best players available for trade and not the best French players available for trade.

 

[Macbeth]

Georges, Leblanc and 2nd for Yakupov ... if Edmondton is fed up with Yak!

Ugly like my taint.

Jesus Christ, mate, think before you post.

 

[DenverHabsFan]

Interesting time being a Habs fan.

I hate this organization, what a gongshow.

More like decades.

Be honest, you'll be sad to see Gio leave, won't you?

 

[PP Subban]

Aha fantastic.

But I'm still gonna go with my anchorman reference.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

MB is losing control of this team.

A simple coaching change would do the trick for now. No need to make panic trades. I'm just fine with dealing Gorges but if you do that you'd better get a replacement in return because our D is thin enough as it is.

And we shouldn't even be thinking about dealing Eller. That would be a huge step back for us. Some team is going to rip us off for him though. I know it.

The only thing I can logically think of is something like this.

Eller + Markov + Leblanc + Gorges? + Picks/Prospects (if needed) for Ryan O'Reilly and Tyson Barrie or Stefan Elliott.

Rest assured, I'm sure we can find a way to flip Eller and Bourque for "character" smaller players on our Top-9. We can then sign Shaquille Oneil for our 4th line to be able to argue our forwards aren't getting smaller.

 

[Tuggy]

This team is in desperate need of a leadership change and this would be a good start.

Yup, wouldn't mind seeing Bergevin moving those 2 guys

 

[Masuli]

If one of these players are moved, I'm going to abandon this team: Subban(extend him NOW), Chucky, Gally, Eller, MaxPac, Plekanec (to some extent), Markov(if return is right _maybe_), Price(no worries here though). These are the ones to keep, the others I can see as expendaples.

Parentau for Bourque or Briere, where do I sign?

 

[Brainiac]

Shaq did drive the zamboni for the Devils. Maybe a Gionta for Shaq trade is being considered!

 

[Marc-E-]

I don't feel that we've to do a complete rebuild. We've some interesting key pieces to go further. We've an elite goaltender, an elite defenceman in Subban, a goal scorer in Pacioretty, an first line centerman for future in Galchenyuk; an good shutdown centerman in Plekanec and some others interesting depht players in Gallagher, Beaulieu, Tinordi, Pateryn, Dietz, etc. And an interesting prospect pool (no game breaker but some good young players) in Fucale, De Larose, Hudon, McCaron, Crips, Reway, Collberg, etc.

I just don't feel that we've to throw everyone under the bus. We're in transition and we should accept it calmly. So the main decisions are what to do with vets like Markov, Gionta, Bourque, Diaz, Murray, Gorges, etc. We've holes to fix, but rather been completely nuts by trading everyone, I think a lot of teams in NHL would like to have our core for starting to build a contender.

 

[Wats]

The same scouting team that thought Briere still had something for not one but TWO years when even armchair GMs saw he didn't? Can't wait to see what comes out of this...

Totally agree, the foundation is there and I know Bergevin keeps saying well we aren't there yet but it's not only about being there it's about making that move to become an elite team for a while not just a season like last year and then back to being a borderline playoff team. Make that move you need to take a chance

 

[SnapVirus]

Colorado is looking for Dmen.

Is it possible to see something like :
Parenteau + Dman for Gorges (Or Diaz) + Bourque/Briere/Gionta ?

and the same one that traded for Drewiske

Wonder if there is any chance in hell we can get back EJ in a trade. Now that would help PK out a lot in the long run

 

[void]

It'll probably be something stupid like Lars Eller ++ for PA Parenteau.

 

[Andy]

It'll probably be something stupid like Lars Eller ++ for PA Parenteau.

FOllowed by a press conference with Bergevin mentioning something about how it takes character to fight your way into the nhl because PAP was a late developer blah blah blah.

 

[Top Corner2]

There's some new Russian girls at Chez Pare

 

[SnapVirus]

Like you say, If a trade would occure bringing in Parenteau, probably Eller would be the one going out (in offense).
The thing is, Colorado is FULL at center : Oreilly, Statsny, Mackinnon.
So it wont happen.

So its probably :

Diaz + Leblanc for Parenteau. Somethin' like that.

 

[Bob b smith]

Now that would be entertainment!

 

[Uber Coca]

Bergevin has interesting assets in his hands and an established core to build around. This team won't suffer much as long as he avoid trading Subban, Price, Plekanec and younger players like Galchenyuk and Gallagher. Subban, Price and Plekanec are pretty carrying this team from the start of December so any changes around them might be good.

Also, losing any defensemen not named Subban won't hurt the team IMO. They been playing like crap and the organization has depth to work with.

 

[Ezpz]

It'll probably be something stupid like Lars Eller ++ for PA Parenteau.

I think that would kill my interest in the team until a management change.
