I would take it but the ducks wouldn't...

 

[kidchaos]

The ducks are in need of a second/third line center dd and a second/third line winger gionta

 

[kidchaos]

Then trade borque for a second round pick and bourinvale takes his spot

 

[MoobMoob]

I don't think a trade would hurt Sakus cup chances. Boudreau is not a post season coach. Great at getting a lot out of his teams in the regular season, but doesn't know how to adjust when other teams start clamping down.

I'd love to see him back.

 

[DJ Breadman]

ya never know

 

[Kimota]

DD is one of our most productive forwards. Saku is old. Stop living in the past.

 

[No More Subban]

Id love to see him back too. But Anaheim also loves him as much as most of us do.

Although I think Anaheim would do a Briere for Koivu trade. DD for Koivu? Zero chance.

If Koivu does come back though, it would mean Gallagher will have to change his number AGAIN. Lol

 

[Price My Man Crush]

I would take Koivu over DD anytime. We went from Koivu to Gomez...to Desharnais. Such a shame.

The problem is Koivu probably doesn't really care about Montreal anymore...I mean, he's been living in California for the last five years. I'm sure he's happier there than he has ever been here.

The Habs draft new young talent each and every year just so they dont have to rely on bringing back old players like Saku... if were going that way then i say lets bring back Guy Lafleur.

Lol. That's why they bring old players like Bouillon or Brière?

They're there just in case so that real old guys have some company their own age we bring back Laleur or Koivu...

Koivu is still a productive NHL player.

 

[MtlSportsFan]

Ummm... I would trade DD and Gionta for a signed picture of Saku ! You may think I am joking, but I am not.

 

[HabsRockBruinsChoke]

I would rather get Steve Ott. He has what we need (Size, face-off skills, salary for a third line center, agitator abilities)

Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Gallagher
Bournival - Plekanec - Gionta
Prust - Ott - Bourque
Moen - White - Stafford

Look at this beautiful lineup with beefed up 3rd and 4th. Briere, Eller, and Desharnais would be in Buffalo.

 

[Bob Cole]

Did he learn French? Important for bergevin to know.

I wouldn't trade Eller for Ott if Buffalo added a non-top 10 first round pick.

 

[The Price is Right]

Briere and Eller for Koivu and Devante Smit-Pelley

 

[Bacchus1]

We should definitely bring him back to retire his jersey! I love Saku! Doubt he wants to come back to the cold of MTL! Howevever, if we could sign him as a free agent for the 3rd line, I wouldn't mind. Can't believe Gainey let him walk! Darkest day in the Hab's history!

He talks dirty in French

 

[Bacchus1]

Briere and Eller for Koivu and Devante Smit-Pelley

Whenever people mention trading Eller for parts, I am absolutely gobsmacked!

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Koivu should have finished his career a hab. That said, there's no room for him now.

 

[Lshap]

The last thing this franchise needs is another sentimental acquisition.

Love Saku, but that ship has sailed.

 

[HabsRockBruinsChoke]

I wouldn't trade Eller for Ott if Buffalo added a non-top 10 first round pick.

Why? what has Eller proved to become a top 2 center in this team for the future? he obviously does not want to be a third line center for long and will demand a higher salary this off season. You can blame the minutes hes getting but he does not produce like a top-6 forward and thats that. We can't just keep holding onto players with just the hype they got, Eller is overrated and we don't need another center. Seriously, we really don't, its better to let him go but only reason he will stay is because with his current numbers, he will only get a slight increase in his extension and Berg prefers to deal with Briere first. I think Briere, Eller, and Desharnais will be gone as all three want to center the top 2 and we already have taken care of that (in Plek and Galchenyuk, maybe Bournival as well).

Gainey was the worst GM ever, Saku should never have been let go and Ryan Mcdonagh should never have been a throw in for Scott Gomez who btw the Rangers was dumping his full $7.3 million with 5 years left and they got Chris Higgins, Ryan Mcdonagh and cap space to sign Marian Gaborik.
