Remember the last time when we got bashed for not willing to be bent over in a Little trade to Montreal?

No trade will happen between us two regarding him. He will likely re-sign next summer anyway.

Just an FYI, but Henrique is the type of player that needs his linemates to drive the play for him. He's much better suited at LW for that, although he could play center with two wings that dictate the play. Some of his best lines since being in NJ were: Kovalchuk - Henrique - Parise; Henrique - Gomez - Bernier; Cammalleri - Henrique - Stempniak; Henrique - Blandisi - Bennett (briefly last season).

He has a knack for filling in at the right moments and is a very good finisher. On every one of those lines, his linemates were the ones that were the main catalysts offensively.

To your point, I think he'd be a disaster with Pacioretty.

Henrique would do very well centering, say, Byron and Gallagher.

Patches plus for Little or Henrique lol. Nice try. Yah, he had a lousy playoffs. Doesn't mean Little or Henrique are worth more.

How many 30 goal seasons does Mac have? I like Nathan, and think he'd be well good to have a fresh start somewhere. Galch had more goals in 20 fewer games this year. Mac's value isn't any higher than Alex's atm.

MacKinnon's value is higher than Galchenyuk's.

lol all horrible for MTL. Little? plz. Henrique? Lol not for Pacs, Sergs, nor chucky. As those devils fans, they said a player with much lower value.
NM? Def no plus to chucky. Kinda equal at this stage. Hello no to a plus to pacs. Hes much better. His value is way higher. Segs? worth less but habs gladly keep him.

Neutral fan.. Mackinnon lacks hockey IQ that would ever make him a top 5 player, but his physical tool set is top 5. You know how bad they were? He had 12 more points than the next guy on the roster, being Duchene...

Galchenyuk meanwhile hasn't ever put together a run for more than 30 games at a time. When faced with adversity he looked disinterested instead of engaged. His lazy efforts landed him on the 4th line by two coaches.

At this point Mackinnon is closer to a top 10 C than Galchenyuk is to being a top 30 C.

Very nice way of not being biased :handclap::handclap: Well done!

Everytime Chucky played on the top line he produced as an elite 1rst line center. Last year, 20 points in 22 games including 16 goals and, this season, 25 points in 25 games before his injury centering the top line. Trading him would be a disaster.

Again, he's never done it for longer than 30 games. Panik looked like a first liner for 30 games this year.
