Friedman: “Habs management has been told to rebuild and stock up on picks and prospects.”

I would say NJ makes a push for Galchenyuk.

I think NJ goes all out and signs JVR.

Why would Montreal retain on Weber who remains a 1D to trade him to Toronto?

Weber is not as 'done' as people here want to make out and when he learns to walk again he will be fine

Weber has played great for Montreal he's still a true 1D just stuck with no-one to play with and guys who can't open jars to back him up

People crapping on the Weber contract should watch his play and realize he's not overpaid in the current league and any really bad stuff thats going to happen from his deal is going to happen to NSH

7.8 AAV for 1D isn't ludicrous

Bergevin trading away Subban to get Weber now that was ludicrous

He just tore tendons in his foot.

Do you have any idea how serious that is?

I tore ligaments in my foot a few months ago and I just learned to walk again.

I'm not a professional athlete but tearing anything in your lower body is a recipe for disaster, when you consider he's already 33 and has 8 years left on his contract. He didn't have great mobility to start with, considering he's a monster of a human being. If this injury slows him down even a little bit, he won't be a 1D for much longer.

good point about you not being a pro athlete and not having access to that level of rehab and doctors

people should probably realize their personal experiences don't really equate to other people's situations

meanwhile Weber tours Tavares around the F1 this weekend in Montreal can you say done deal?

Are you insinuating that Tavares is likely to sign in MTL?

Hahahahaha.

Ok.

not for a second lols just thought it was a funny way to end that last post

the local internet detective work going into Weber being sighted with Tavares this weekend is pretty funny if you're in Montreal

Why would any player choose to jump into something this dysfunctional the ownership doesn't understand that players now choose where they go much earlier and Bergevin makes it impossible for any quality UFA to choose Montreal

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

I think that would be a deal the Habs could do.

Galchenyuk Drouin Gallagher
Byron Fabbri Zadina
Hudon Danault Thompson
Lehkonen De La Rose Shaw
Deslauriers

Mete Weber
Bouwmeester Petry
Alzner Juulsen
Reilly Schlemko

Allen
Niemi

If Bouwmeester is healthy and stuff, ship him out for more at the deadline and call up Walman.

Pleasure doing fake business with you lol. I’d figure a core of Tarasenko, Schwartz, Schenn, Patches, Pietrangelo, Parayko, etc with Price in net would definitely have Tavares chomping at the bit to come here.

Bergevin aside, that situation is currently a rebuild.

There is no chance Tavares even entertains the thought of going there, given their current state. Once they rebuild it, which I genuinely think they will, it'll be a top destination. I don't think MB is around in 12 months. That guy is sooo fired.

To quote Keith Richards "Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one and they all stink,"

Let's check THE FACTS......75th in the league, that's where your boy finished the year THE 75th BEST GOALIE IN THE NHL

How many of those players polled do you think might want to change their mind?

(.900 SP 3.11 GAA? What is this? 1989?)

U clown ...
Price is a career .920% save percentage and everyone knows he is one of the best goalies in the world and proven MVP and Gold medal Olympic Champion...CASE CLOSED.

Only thing left for you to do is say you're intelligent and I'll know you're off your rocker.

Webber is good. $7.8 for a 40 year old Webber kind of stinks

 

[didimentionlarseller]

totally agree but based on his salary I'm guessing thats never going to be an issue I can't imagine him continuing to play past the 21-22 season

even if his health stays good he goes from 6 to 3 mil in salary

even if he wants that 3 million I'm guessing after the 22-23 season he would retire and decline to play 3 more years for a million a year

you suck Bergevin what were you thinking

His cap will stay flat. Probably of good use to a cap floor challenged team though

But who is paying 7.8 mil for a 40 yr old? Do you know anything about Weber's contract because it sure seems you don't.

Shipping assets like Price and Patches to St-Louis without at least one of Thomas or Kyrou coming back should be criminal.

That's one bad case of quality for quantity, and those rarely turn out well.

 

[ole ole]

Montreal would have to retain at least $2M per season for the remaining 8 years.

Even then, the return for Montreal would not be significant.

I love Weber but his torn tendons, age and ludicrous contract really hamper his trade value.

If he retires, Nashville takes on the burden of his contract but I would never expect him to prematurely retire. Guys like Weber just don't suddenly retire. They keep playing until they physically can't anymore and if he's playing the last couple seasons of his career at 70%, due to his body deteriorating, that's a bad investment. I am not willing to have my team pay significant assets for a guy that age, with that contract.

Question how does Montreal retain 2 mil on 1 mil being paid out.

 

[JOKER 192]

A team like Philly who can’t get over the hump because of their goaltending?

Price is still easily a top goalie in the league and I’m a Canucks fan.

You think he’s washed up?

Sure wouldn't gamble any assets to find out.

 

[Notsince67]

The Cap hit stays flat. Perhaps you don't have a clue how salary caps work

I think he was referring to the fact much like Hossa this last year's will never be played out, as he will develop a "skin condition" in the last 3 maybe even 4 years
