Hearing prospect Hudson Fasching (U of Minnesota) is likely on way to BUF as part of Brayden McNabb trade with BUF. Awaiting confirmatio

This day is so overrated. Makes the crying here so funny. You don't always win Cups off trade deadline moves. In 2010 all we did was pick up Dominic Moore and as nice as that was, it wasn't what put us into the 3rd round. Only time it worked was when we got Kovalev but his value was pretty low cause of his ****** play with the Rangers. In 2002 all we picked up was Bill Lindsay. In 2006 we got Todd Simpson and we lost in the 1st round. No correlation. I'd rather be dumping players for picks and/or prospects. The 2007 trading of Rivet was a godsend. That's why I'm not opposed to trading a guy like Gorges, Murray, Bourque, Eller, hell even maybe Markov if the price is right.

Ehroof would help LAK with their PP

It's McNabb

Anyone see the Botta rumour ?

Great analysis.

If Bourque is traded, then someone has to be coming in. Needs to be someone with size, so would be Stafford, or Stewart.

Bournival isn't that good, people... Then again, neither is Bourque. Well, until the playoffs...

If Bourque is traded I'd replace him with Bournival who has similar production despite not getting 1/5th of the offensive opportunities.

Get real.

Imagine they get Toffoli for him.

I would flip my ****

Get real.

Bournival is a good speedy guy to get in on the forecheck, but that just further proves we're not doing anything in the playoffs. Not like we are going to now...

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

So nothing's gonna happen? At all?

 

[Wats]

Still hasn't scored in 2 months, has 2 less goals.

Both aren't really good imo.

One is a rookie with room to improve. It's a no brainer who should have that 3rd line spot IMO.

 

[FrontierPsyCHiatrist*]

Desharnais, Gallagher, Gionta, Bourque, Weise in the top 9 and the defense basically being Markov, Subban and plug ins. That's why I have no faith in what they can do in the playoffs.

But obviously Price can steal some series, but it's not exciting relying on a goalie to stand on his head to have a chance. Plus our coach can lose a series himself

Hey Habssawce, yes you're not sure about our line-up, but do you think other teams fans feels different about theirs? We're all on the same boat, now it's up to a GM with guts to build a different team from others.

We might hate some of our players, but they can still be any teams in the East.

That would not be cool...

Not deadline news but pretty cool:

yeah..yesterday was way more exciting

We'll do nothing in the playoffs with Bourque anyway. He's a waste of a roster spot an obstacle for other players for deserving to play in the top 9.

Moore had his importance though and he did score a game 7 GWG, so that kinda put us into the 3rd round...

Vanek - Briere - Dumont Line could be back.....

.....

 

[Habsawce]

Can anyone explain to me the point of making a fake twitter account of an "insider" and posting fake trades?

I dont' understand what you get out of it? A laugh? It's not funny, nor original.

 

[hockeyfan2k11]

People think they are different from their GM but everybody on this board has a conservative vision. Going for a bottom 6 player or a 6th-7th d-men is conservative. Going for a Vanek is an important step to become a winning team THIS YEAR that no Habs GM ever did... We see the result today - they get fired after slumps because they don't take winning opportunities.



Yes we have holes, but the way MT is coaching it's almost like our only hole is in the offensive top 6.
Our D is great, our G is great and our bottom 6 is great. Hello, do yo see where the hole is?

Our D is great? Not even close. If our goaltending is just OK during the playoffs. We will get swept. The D is not good bro. But I guess we shall see.

Wasn't Kovalev a deadline acquisition?

Granted Gainey is the longest lasting GM this side of Serge Savard....

A rookie with limited potential.

Bournival did look good at one point, then like everyone trailed off.

 

[Whitesnake]

Solid deal McNabb for Fasching. Type of deal I keep saying exist when teams trade 2 great prospects but that fills each other needs. Reason why drafting exclusively for needs is overrated.

I'm not saying we don't have good players I'm just saying the balance is horrible to compete in the playoffs. Having small skiled players is fine, but when they make up 3/4 of your scoring lines you have a problem.
