Which D-Man is gone?
With Petry signed it looks like one of the defencemen will have to moved. Who do you want to see traded?

Emelin would probably be shopped but i keep hearing people say lets get rid of Old Man Markov ... ***** we would struggle to make playoffs without him

High Tech Low-Life.
I think Emelin is gone due to shedding cap to make room for the Petry deal, and I think Tinordi is traded as a part of package to either move up in the draft or to acquire a skilled top 6 player.

Unless they really need to shed the salary or a team asks for one of them to send the habs a forward, I don't see why anyone has to be traded. The Habs usually keep 8 Ds with the team anyway.
Markov-Subban
Emelin-Petry
Beaulieu-Gilbert
Tinordi-Pateryn
4 RD and 4 LD. Pateryn might surpass Gilbert, Emelin seems to get injured at least once every year and he sometimes starts his seasons badly so Tinordi will get some playing time.
If you trade a LD, it means Tinordi is in the lineup every night and he hasn't shown he's ready for that yet. If you trade tinordi, who's the next LD on your depth chart? Bennett who's still a couple of seasons away from being NHL ready and then, nobody. If we trade one we need to get another one.
Gilbert might be expendable because we have a lot of RD prospects but they aren't ready either so there's no harm in keep Gilbert around for another year or at least until the deadline.

None at the present time.
Tinordi starts in STJ. When he recaptures his game, he'll come up and stay which then will force a Dman out. Emelin would be the target. It would be wrong at this point to trade Markov, just plain wrong and would damage the organizations reputation IMO.

Go Habs Go
If they want to carry 8 D, that's fine but they will need to move PAP either trade in a package or buyout. But I also think they will add more LD depth since we are thin for the AHL next year and only have 5 D signed if the Habs carry 8.

Gilbert is paid 2.8!?? Ouch thats a lot for a guy who's going to be 6-7th on the depth chart...
Emelin has more value, which is why he might get traded instead but really, I hope they move Gilbert.

Emelin has the offensive IQ of a god damned dump truck and its costing us i cannot count how many times he had opportunities to do something with the puck and just shot at a player or around the boards....a whole ****ing half wall wide open and he just throws it away sick of it...we need beaulieu, tinordi and pateryn in our lineup starting next year, element gone and gilbert can sit

Subban, Petry, Beaulieu, Markov, Pateryn, Tinordi and Gilbert. Tinordi and Pateryn replace Emelin's physicality.

Either trade Subban for a good forward and keep everyone else, or trade Gilbert.
Our top 4 is good, it's just that Gilbert is too expensive for a third pair.

I'll disagree here. Gilbert has shown to be more than an honest defenceman. And in many regards I would prefer Gilbert over Emelin. It's Emelin at 4M that's the problem.

Markov still gets 50+ points and double digits on goals. Without him, Subban would be our only offensive D, literally.
