Rumor: Benoit Brunet : Dale Tallon in MTL oct 26th

[ROSSter]

if it's Desharnais for NOTHING IN RETURN, sign me up

DD for Gomez.

 

[Tabarouette]

DD for Gomez.

HFBoard server isn't prepared for a trade like that

 

[Agnostic]

Doesn't Versteeg has a near 5M cap-hit for the next 2-3 years? And he just plain sucks as well.

DD got him would be a lateral move at best. I'd rather get a 2nd/3rd rounder out of DD than Versteeg.

Does this seem realistic to you? For a trade to happen I think it's got to be a problem-for-problem type deal, where possibly the Habs get a couple years holiday from the contract.

My guess is Upshall or Jovanovski, neither would excite the fans but we need a new scapegoat to yell at.

 

[MXD]

I wonder why a gm would have interest in DD at the moment. Please be for Kopecky, and not Versteeg.

 

[Whitesnake]

What MB should be doing is offering DD + for a certain Nick Bjugstad I can't even imagine seeing him and Mccarron together on the 3rd line.

yeah. That's what we should be offering....but Florida won't give it.

 

[vokiel]

I want Gudbranson somehow!

I second this message.

Even if it means trading Emelin+...

HFBoard server isn't prepared for a trade like that

HFboards servers aren't ready for me to sneeze at them.

 

[JayKing]

Kulikov plz

Kulikov - Subban
Markov - Emelin
Gorges - Beaulieu/Murray

 

[Tabarouette]

Versteeg...uuuh no thanks Ha !

you guys obviously dont know sheet

Versteeg is not really better than having Desharnais, plus its another small player

we're discussing about the rumor, feel free to join once you're done stepping down from your superiority complex throne

 

[Fazkovsky]

Make DD for Gomez, he is signed at league minimum! On a serious note I would want one of Kulikov, Bjugstad or Gudbransson. Florida might want to get players for their current roster and they may afford to trade prospets thing is I hardly see how DD might be a solution for them haha!

 

[SirClintonPortis]

5' 11" small is different from 5'7" small; at least it isn't DD being asskicked upon contact. And besides, Versteeg would be on the third line if we have most of our forwards back, which is a role he should be able to thrive in.

 

[Mats NAslund]

No thanks on the Versteeg front, 5'10 185 pounds 4.4 cap hit for three more years.

I'll take Kopecky though, 3 mil cap hit for the next two years and he's 6'3 203

DD can go suck an EGG somewhere. Even if he scores 60 in Florida I never want to see him play for the Habs again!

 

[Andy]

I wonder who the Habs would be targetting

 

[PernellsWhiteAmi]

The people who don't like acquiring Versteeg are failing to realize that both Desharnais and Versteeg are signed for another 3-4 years. Versteeg may be inconsistent, but he has value in the league because he is a proven 20 goal, 50 point guy. Desharnais doesn't have value. Plus he is 4 inches shorter than Versteeg. You guys have to realize with a guy like Desharnais, we aren't going to get a first round pick or Kulikov for him. The worst thing that happens is that we trade Versteeg in another year or two.

 

[Andy]

Is there any logical explanation for Tallon could have been without having it dealing with trade talk?

 

[CauZuki]

Kulikov plz

Kulikov - Subban
Markov - Emelin
Gorges - Beaulieu/Murray

In Soviet Russia defense play you!

 

[BLONG7]

Tallon and MB trying to help each other out...we may end up giving away a draft pick on top of DD?

 

[Haaabs]

Is there any logical explanation for Tallon could have been without having it dealing with trade talk?

He was here to watch a player from the Sharks

He was here to sell tickets to the December games against Florida

He was here to have some smoked meat and poutine

 

[CauZuki]

Dd + leblanc for versteeg + bjugstad get it done MB.

Pacioretty-Plekanec-Gio
Galchenyuk - Eller - Gallagher
Bourque - Briere - Versteeg
Prust - Bournival - Moen / white/ parros.

 

[Domenic]

He was here to watch a player from the Sharks

He was here to sell tickets to the December games against Florida

He was here to have some smoked meat and poutine

Also, wasn't he born and raised in Montreal?

 

[vokiel]

Can we throw Brière in that deal also?

No, he might get another concussion if you throw him too hard.

 

[Andy]

Also, wasn't he born and raised in Montreal?

It just sounds too good to be true. I'm having trouble believing that there is a trade going down or trade talks because Tallon was here.

 

[Clippy]

I'd rather have Kopecky instead of Versteeg.

 

[Halifaxhab*]

I'd rather have Kopecky instead of Versteeg.

I second that. we need some size on the wing that can play defence and score a few

 

[Marc-E-]

Is anyone would take both (Versteeg and Kopecky) for Desharnais and Bourque?
