What makes you think Carolina wants Zadina just because he has played with Necas in the past?
And we don’t care if Price would waive his ntc for us. We don’t want him and it’s laughable to think he belongs anywhere near a conversation for the second overall pick.
He says that as if it wasn't enough! Most scouting reports have those 2 neck and neck. Close as that, should be want there to keep the 2 Czech stars together.
Dudley going there. Dudley was our long time pro-scouting, the last year he switched over to amateur scouting. He has been known for subjective decisions.
Combined with Ron Francis taking out of there like that. Francis and company they are good people. For them to leave in a huff...must be major malcontent there. They are not going to run over small stuff.
If Svechnikov is there at 3?? I hope the Habs trade down. As his trade value is high and Habs need help at center and on left side of blueline. I imagine Carolina(Rangers could be an option also as they have depth at young centers and the 9th overall) would like to have our 3rd to keep the Necas/Zadina together and have Svechnikov also. But Canes don't have enough to offer to give up the 3rd? Hanifin alone won't get it done, he went 5th overall and is 3 years older than Svechnikov. Going to take more than him.
I never said Price for the 2nd. You never want to lie or twist the truth like that. People try to believe falseness because that is what they want to hear is how people are lead to mistakes in life and bad judgements. I said Price to Nashville for Rinne and a player, then those players going to Carolina for Hanifin.
Don't like that? Another deal could be we trade the 3rd, to a team like Carolina and Price to Nashville. Re-unites Price and Subban. Rinne ends up in Montreal(as I doubt Carolina wants his contract), with Hanifin and one of Turris or Johnsen. Canes give Nashville a player to even out the trade. If Rinne goes to Carolina that is. For Carolina be getting the 3rd pick in draft and stud goalie going to take more than Hanifin. Montreal gets its L-defenseman and a #2 center. Nashville gets a Vezina goalie and a player from Canes?
Habs could include Pacioretty if get another asset. But would rather deal Pacioretty separate as he will fetch a Nash type return. Which was a first, second and bottom 6 winger like a Spooner. Either now or at the trade deadline. Rather we trade Pacioretty at the trade deadline as that way we get extra 60-65 games out of him. He is in contract year, strong chance he bounces back to 35-40 goal scorer.
