Hope he signs.
Chiarot-Weber
Edmundson-Petry
Romanov-Fleury
Kulak
Pretty solid compared to what we iced for the last 10 years.

No chance at landing Laine if Domi is not willing to sign in Winnipeg. Do you think he would? I'm not sure. Domi and Caufield is our only shot at Laine IMO. Would they take it and does Bergevin do it? No idea
Why did Domi fire his agent? My hunch tells me it's one of two things...
1) Domi was traded but the deal could only become official if he extended. His agent recommended to sign and Domi said screw that
2) Bergevin offered Domi an extension and his agent recommended to sign it and Domi said screw that.
Longer it takes with JE, it could mean he don't want to sign or we are waiting for another trade to be negotiated first.
We could acquire a 7th in 2022 for a 7th in 2022 and there would probably be at least a Part 2 for the thread.

Markov-Subban was arguably the best pairing in the league. Petry was also pretty solid despite his worse stats.

List the pairings and what year you are referring too? Markov, Subban, Emelin and then who? You have to pick a certain point in time too?

Im talking Chariot + Edmun is not better than Markov Emelin.
If you want to add weber with chariot and Subban with Markov , I still pick Subban for sure. Subban was always great in Montreal.
We are not progressing at all in our D squad , only Weber and Petry getting older

Yes but then crap after that. I'd be down for this though (See below)... Flip Byron for whatever and add a pick to clear the cap space. Trade Domi for the 8th pick (Quinn or Holtz) and sign Kovalchuk for one year as the bridge to Caufield. Space is tight but as long as you sign Edumndson to only 2 years, we can move things around and let guys go if we have to.
OEL / Petry
Chiarot / Weber
Romanov / Edmundson
Mete, Juulsen. * Kulak traded in the OEL package

Yup... too bad then you had Tom Gilbert, Nathan Beaulieu, a washed-up Sergei Gonchar and Alexei Emelin as well. The only guy who knew how to hit properly was Emelin. Possibly one of the softest D ever assembled. Though I remember Subban, Diaz, Kaberle, Yannick Weber, Gorges and Emelin being quite something to behold as well.

We also had Petry. Ask Dallas how it's working out for them by having the best 3 man d unit in the league and little depth after that.

The only minus at that time , when we traded for Petry , he was not like he was right now which is weird because he was already like 26~

Petry was still a solid top 4 dman at that time though. I remember being stoked that we resigned him, he was a great player that suffered playing on a garbage team.

It's pointless to talk about one pairing and I see more value to the overall pairings. We are fine on the back end. Weber and Petry are around for a while yet and we have 7 or more guys who have to develop so it's dumb to be pessimistic on that. Let me guess... Remember Beaulieu and Tinordi? Beaulieu and Tinordi are more like Brook and Juulsen types.

Not sure what your exact point is cause I'm late to this conversation. But if you are asking me the importance of having 3 solid pairings? You don't need to convince me

Our defense of:
Markov-Subban
Emelin-Petry
Beaulieu-Gonchar
was pretty damn good. Much better than what we have now.

Will always miss Subban being on the ice when habs scored a goal jumping in his teammate or when he scored and Markov was doing his russian face but at the end he smiled with him. Which was rare for Markov lol
