Solid post/thread ...to say the least

 

[Redux91]

Would have been neat to see what Duclair can still do and reunite him with Domi....but were offering him a 2-way....

definitely would of liked to take a stab on him, but we just have too many god damn wingers as it is lol

 

[yianik]

I was proposing Weber get traded, but in conjunction with getting a top pair potential D like Hanifin. We did not get anybody though.

Rebuilding and razing everything to the ground are two different things. You just cant throw in a bunch of kids after taking out Weber and/ or Petry to hold the fort for a couple of years. That D will be decimated, their development will be destroyed and mentally they will be basket cases. I mean given where Weber is age wise and where we are as a team it makes sense to trade him to max value out of him, but we just cant throw the young guys into it like that. Again, what a fiasco that PK trade was. Even without all the blunders MB made in the last couple of years a re-whatever was needed to become a contender, but given PKs age we could say its a non issue to trade him because he would still be in his prime in a couple years when hopefully the young guys would be hitting the team, especially the Cs. Weber is much older, and we are in a spot.

Coaching is going to be more important than ever. It will be OK to be outskilled as long as the teachable moments lead to constant improvement. It will never be OK to be outworked.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Get on the ****ing phone and call Marky. He needs to retire a Hab and this ****show will need a few bright spots.

And trade him at the deadline to Washington.

Apparently he hasn't signed anywhere yet.

 

[le_sean]

Please sign elsewhere so the people clamouring for him to go to Montreal can keep quiet.

 

[le_sean]

Good. Now STFU people

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Good. Now **** people

god bless , hes bad

 

[L4br3cqu3]

Any news on Danault and Armia ?

[L4br3cqu3]

Thanks, I just asked him about Armia too on Twitter hahaha

Turns out, Zadarnowski was wrong.

 

[Overtime Period]

Duclair is in montreal

 

[Zorba]

god bless , hes bad

Fair enough I didn’t want him yet we have peca a 2 year deal @ 1.3 This is still funny

 

[L4br3cqu3]

Turns out, Zadarnowski was wrong.

Yup.

Hope it'll simply accelerate a deal, and that they'll avoid arbitration.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Duclair is in montreal

He officially signed with Blue Jackets. It was reported earlier today. Then it was reported that it was a fake rumor. And finally it was official that he signed with them.

 

[justafan22]

Danault is 2 years away from UFA status, no?

 

[Schooner Guy]

Doesn’t really matter if he’s not a #1, he’s a solid #3 who can fill that #1 role when he has too. I’d prefer we don’t stick prospects into the fire giving them first line minutes and ruining their development. Petry is a really good stop gap. We have to ice a roster at the end of the day. We can’t just trade everyone.

Exactly! The team can't be horrendously hopeless or nobody develops....especially in this market.

 

[BehindTheTimes]

Didn't want Duclair. He's no good.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Who else thinks Bergevin will go bargain bin shopping once teams start losing players to arbitration?

Wonder who we’ll get there and the waiver wire? We have serious holes to fill on D.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Updated original post with DLR signing and Burrows hiring for Laval.

 

[Redux91]

Duclair is in montreal

Well he's from montreal what a shocker someone is visiting family and friends lol

 

[Adam Michaels]

Wonder if Habs have made an offer.
