Good trade from a hockey standpoint.

Pissed from a fan standpoint. At some point, you have to market the team... and Domi was a fan favorite.

 

[Mosby]

Leaf fans are gonna go nuts that Domi is a Hab haha.

I think we wanted a clean break from Tie Domi

I have a gut feeling that once Duclair was shipped off, Domi told management that he wanted out. Wouldn’t be surprised if Montreal takes a chance on Duclair this offseason as a reclamation project of some sorts to play with Domi full time.

 

[Mosby]

So do we play Chucky at center and watch Montreal burn to the ground?

 

[Jormungandr]

Love it. Galchenyuk is a legit 30 goal threat.

Hopefully someone will do a post mortem and explain how the organization managed to chase off Domi and Duclair.

Not enough fans to worry about that. Win games - get fans

One of them is very easy, Duclair isn't good enough of a player to waste all of your time trying to motivate him.

Chase off? Chucky is likely the type of player that explodes in Arizona without the Montreal machine harassing him.

Didn’t Galchenyuk just get out of substance abuse rehab? Just how bad are these long rumored and whispered about character issues Domi has had following him around the last two years?

 

[zerekstar]

I loved Domi but Galchenyuk is more consistent. But it would not surprise me if Domi has a higher ceiling.

 

[RemoAZ]

I'm starting to think Chayka is trying to erase as many of Don's high picks and trades as he can. He's just about cleaned house at this point. We certainly needs someone in that locker room to step up because an already extremely soft team just lost one of it's few stand up guys. You might not need goons anymore but one or two guys that will have their teammate's backs' would help.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Who's going to get our empty netter's now?

 

[Matias Maccete]

From a value standpoint, this may be a steal. If Galchenyuk can be a 30 goal center that's huge. I love Domi though. I hate it strictly for that reason.

 

[Muppet]

Best of luck to Max, but I'll happily take Chucky in this situation. Bergevin strikes again!

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Max couldn't play center - all agreed on this.
Alex can - still no faith in Strome, is a plausible read on this.

Curious to see what the rest of the deal is.

 

[Mosby]

Kinda surprised we didn't do this on the draft floor and include 3 OV and 5 OV.

I don't think Alex proved he could play center so far in his career.

 

[Ace]

I love this trade for you guys. I obviously don’t have the attachment to the player that you would but Galchenyuk is the real deal and he’s produced despite being constantly misused for reasons no one understands.

 

[Mosby]

Curious to see what the rest of the deal is.

Deal is 1 for 1.

 

[Mosby]

I don't think Alex proved he could play center so far in his career.

Was above a point per game two seasons ago playing center. Then he injured his knee. Played wing upon his return.

 

[Le Tricolore]

You guys got a hell of a player.

I guess Montreal got an okay middle six winger. Exactly what we needed.....................................
