CHUCKY will go to buff at some point

Already went to Arizona and Ottawa so not many bottom feeders left to play for.

back to the figs then

 

[Habs Halifax]

Luke Glendenning would had been a really good signing....

I noticed him as well and then I wondered... Is he really getting the best from the opposition when the Wings are loosing way more vs what they win? Not sure and I wonder if his numbers change on a different team that is in more tighter games?

 

[sampollock]

Nobody left on UFA that can help the habs.
Trade is only way

Been that way for a month now.

Would Derrick Brassard be a solution as a third line center for 1 year at 1$ M? In 53 games last year,he had 8 goals+ 12 assists= 20 points.- 10 and face off 52.6%.

I'm guessing he's still holding out hope for a multi year deal somewhere... if he doesn't get one, I bet he signs with us for 1 year

Would be his 9th team in an already 13 year career. Why?

Then trade him back for Zibanejad.

[slybel]

At least we won't see Danault start in OT ....

 

[sampollock]

JE will be a knight, soon enough

Vegas is the logical place to go

 

[Nevins]

Sign Brassard 1 year 1 $M.

Are you suggesting to trade for Dvorak or someone else from Arizona?

If it’s Dvorak the asking price is high:

If it’s Dvorak the asking price is high:

there's a HUGE difference between "a couple of prospects" and "a 1st and a top prospect" with a couple of prospects being reasonable and the latter not so much.

I agree but I’m guessing it would be two higher prospects (one (or maybe both) being equivalent to a 1st). What would that be from the Habs?

They got Timmons, a 1st (which will be late), and a conditional 3rd for Kuemper (who has 1 year left on his contract). I think they ask for a lot more for Dvorak who has 4 years left on his contract.

they will hold out for a 1st and a prospect... why would they not

I think it means a first round pick plus either a top prospect or a couple lower tier prospects

I wouldn't mind giving Travis Zajac a shot for one year at a reasonably low salary for center insurance. He's good on face-offs, decent defensively, plays the PK, still not bad offensively. There are rumours that Lou has him signed in NYI though.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

We've got the assets prospect wise to compensate. If Bergy really wants him there are ways to make it happen without a first IMO.

 

[ZUKI]

I don't think we'll win the Cups this year ( i am brilliant here, no ? ).
So, what's the point to try to sign/trade a centre or an offensive d-man instead and to give assets ?
Let see where Poehling has to give, let see how Norlinder manages the small ice rinks. Let see what Ylönen can do. Anyway, we just won't win anything important this season, out of pro miles for all the young guns

I wanted him as well. I wonder if they made him an offer? Or maybe he didn't consider Canada?
