Speculation: Habs on Tradecentre Part 8 (Post-Deadline & Free Agency Talk: All proposals here)

[Bieber fever]

Oh shutup.

Yeah right , Gainey and Gauthier always took a lot of trash for doing nothing at the trade line but now that is's Bergevin it's a good move? Nice double standard. Why are team with deep line up like pens , boston ,wild , kimgs are still adding players ? Bergevin probably don't think we have such a chance in playoff

 

[Monctonscout]

If we made offers but didn't win that means that Bergevin was too tentative and weak in negotiations. That also means that Bergevin perceived weaknesses in our squad but didn't have a plan to improve them.

Doesn't bode well but at least we'll have a lot of nice high draft picks for Timmins, even if half end up Timmins-Quality(tm) it'll be a huge win.

Glad we kept our picks...plus we signed Kristo!!!!!

C'mon man, everyone knows our weaknesses. If you can avoid taking stupid penalties against the Habs, you'll beat 'em. Anyway, this is all academic until the playoffs. Again, I predict an early exit and lots of rationalizations from our fan-base.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

It's just a shame that we have been one of the best teams in the league this season and we are just allowed the rest of the conference to get better. What a waste. Oh ya, I forgot about the 2-3 year. We gotta keep with the schedule.

Okay. Want a tissue?

How did we allow other teams to get better? What a bizarre post.

 

[Mrb1p]

Lombardi to the ducks

 

[JMMR]

Bruins go Redden

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Basically Cole and a 5 th went out and the return is Ryder, Halpern, Drewiske and a 3rd. Rookie GM my ass.

I tweeted something like that. Bergevin made great moves this year.

 

[V13]

For those disappointed that the Habs didn't make a move today : Just tell yourselves that with a 1st + 3 2nds + 2 3rds we're going to stock the pipeline pretty solidly at the draft with all those picks and you're probably going to be happy in a few years

Just relax and enjoy the rest of the season and the playoffs

 

[Andy]

Redden to Boston

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

The whinning in this thread is not surprising and makes me question the knowledge of some fans for the game? Who did you want us to trade for? Clowe? Pominville? Regehr?

As far as I'm concerned the players I wanted Montreal to go for didn't get traded (Morris, Klesla and Glencross) so that tells me the asking price was too high. Pittsburgh is beatable and the Rangers do not scare me at all even after they added Clowe and other players.

Glad I am not the only one. Too many complainers probably because it is easier to post bull **** than it is too research and realize that making deals at the deadline rarely put the team with the need at an advantage.

 

[MasterDecoy]

redden to boston wat

 

[sheed36]

So the Habs picked up Ryder, Halpern, Drewiske plus a Dallas 3rd and lost Cole and a 5th.

 

[Andy]

Chara-Redden reunited

Basically Cole and a 5 th went out and the return is Ryder, Halpern, Drewiske and a 3rd. Rookie GM my ass.

cole for ryder and a 5th iirc

 

[hototogisu]

O'Byrne to the Leafs.

As much as making moves is no guarantee, drafting players isn't either.

 

[Laurent]

Basically Cole and a 5 th went out and the return is Ryder, Halpern, Drewiske and a 3rd. Rookie GM my ass.

And that 5th only remained with us because Geoffrion didn't play 40+ games in the NHL during the 12-13' season.If not it NSH would of had the pick now

 

[Mister Potato]

Is it next year that Columbus joins eastern conference ?

 

[Athletique_Canadien]

Glad we kept our picks...plus we signed Kristo!!!!!

Really, do you have DK link?

This is a very good point.

We have a playoff team right now, but not a cup winning team IMO, but we're pretty young and we have a big draft coming up. There's nothing wrong with that, it's not worth it to mortgage your future for one run when your chances wouldn't be that great anyway.

 

[Habit11]

Would have been nice to pickup Gaborik. Oh well.

 

[PricerStopDaPuck]

Give leblanc a chance blunden is ****

 

[sharks9]

Lmao Redden to Boston

 

[Monctonscout]

NYR trading Gaborik was absically a salary dump. Brassard is dead cap space...3.2 mil/year until 2014 and 108 GP 21-38-59...will probably buy him out in July.

 

[Phil Parent]

I like the team, all those teams who made moves today, except Pittsburgh, are trying to be as good as us.

I like the fact that we'll still get better through the draft because we kept our picks and that we now have a management who is willing to play young guys. I trust Timmins 100%
