Forsberg is lightyears ahead of Chucky. Excellent all around player
Can't see Price and Weber getting moved while MB is GM. Shaw's market value has to be close to nil -- I'd wait and see if we can get a less injury-filled season from him and if so, attempt to move him at the TDL. Pacioretty, Petry and Byron are the best assets to move from the lot -- although, you can only trade Petry after the draft since his limited NMC kicks in on July 1st, if I'm not mistaken.
Bite your effing tongue. That idea may not have occurred to the dunceHow much you want to bet that MB will ask Brady Tkachuk if he thinks he can translate to Center position hahahaha
That's a potato. A cabbage - higher on the evolutionary ladder - would haveHell, a potato in the GM's position would have the following D-core going forward.
Sergachev-Subban
Markov-Petry
Mete-Schlemko
Maybe the clause doesn't kick in until after July 1st, but you can always ask the player and they can always agree if they like the team you would be trading them to, especially if they are not wanted with your team.
Not every player will say no just to stick it to the man. Thankfully, or the NHL would be the worse league to be GM in.
3) Teams would be lining up to get him, we can get a lot for the pick
Pro tip: if a lot of teams are after a specific player, that probably means he's good. He's probably a player that you would regret giving up, considering you had the chance to get him for free. Why not keep a player like that? This team has needed to score FOREVER, and here we have an elite player who rifles the puck in the net top corner. Go watch some of his highlights right now
I just hope to god that Marc Bergevin goes ahead and takes him. Taking Brady Tkachuk over him would be an AWFUL move.
Awful, is MB's middle name...lord help us all.Read a good article regarding the third overall pick. I'll post my favourite paragraph.. Kind of what reiterates what my train of thought has been on this pick. It's from HOTP.
Basically the writer is debunking thought processes from Habs fans.

2) He can get traded for a young #1 centre
If the pick were to get traded, I'm pretty sure it would be worth a good centre under 23 years of age. I don't think any team in the league with a centre of that calibre would trade him away for a winger.
Ultimately, we've seen on some teams the #1 winger is better than his centreman, and those teams are doing just fine. Filip Forsberg is better than Ryan Johansen; Nikita Kucherov is better than Steven Stamkos; Blake Wheeler is better than Mark Scheifele. Considering Zadina is projected to be elite, I'm pretty sure he could play alongside a centre who is worse than him while the two would still do well.
Habs are desperate at center ice position.Are you saying they took Galchneyuk over Forsberg because they thought Galchenyuk was a center, even though they thought Forsberg had more skill?
Right though? Doesn't that make perfect sense? If teams want the pick to take Zadina or whoever then we will probably regret trading it. MB needs to think about the future more just like other teams. Stop being mister right now.
What do you think Pittsburgh is doing right now? Probably in meetings getting ready to set up for the future, not next year.
This was my second favourite segment from the article.
EDIT: Yes I know that we have no center even close to Scheifele, stamkos or Ry Jo.

Yeah , I'm sure the environment doesn't factor in at all...
Anything is possible but the contractual impediment exists and it needs to be dealt with. I wouldn't take it for granted, nor do we know if MB even wants to trade Petry. It's great fan fodder until it actually happens.

I disagree that Forsberg is better than Johansen and I disagree vehemently that Wheeler is better than Scheifele.
I also disagree that Zadina shares the game breaking qualities of a Kucherov who literally controls the game like a center from the wing.
