galchenyuk for dubois

Wonder if Price is by choice or the fact no one wants that contract. Atleast the latter is what it seems on here

Maybe if Kekäläinen falls down and hits his head.
But as long as he’s coherent, not likely!!!

He has a full NMC so he cannot be traded without waiving. I'd imagine that plays a big part in it.

I’d say it’s more a combination of the visuals of trying to trade him the same year as extending him along with the fact Price has saved Bergevins ass so often, MB is afraid to lose him.
Add into that Prices full NTC.

 

[WhoTagz]

Just like subban was right?

 

[Keep Sorokin Me Babe]

Victor Mete is a good 4th round pick and could very well turn into a top 4 LD on a good team, but to consider him "untouchable" is ridiculous

 

[danyhabsfan]

McCarron 4th for 2nd

any takers?

Lol...... shhhhhhh.
Don’t tell anyone.

I like how Drouin isn’t on the list of untouchables.

ah for some reason i thought the NTC started next year. Petry does have a NMC too

Always the same with MB:

Bergevin's working the phone, most active among all GM.

What the hell is he doing all this time when his only answer is trades are hard, it's not playstation.

Well, he's 19 years old. If you're rebuilding, you shouldn't be selling off futures.

Price being an untouchable is the ridiculous part.

Well, the most ridiculous part is that Bergevin is going to be allowed to be in charge of it.

 

[Shaffer]

Price isn't untouchable, he's untradeable.

Shows you how brutal Montreal's situation is where a prospect who's ceiling is a 2nd pair guy is 'untouchable'.

It's brutal, but it's not unlike a lot of rebuilding teams. I doubt you'd see teenage aged players available from Arizona or BUffalo.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

I'am I the only one scared to see the words Rebuild and Bergevin in the same sentence...

True. I guess Montreal needs to start somewhere to rebuild their pool.

I'm not at all. Actually, I'd love to see how it goes, but then again, my username and icon speaks for itself

 

[jaric1862]

What do you want for Petry?

 

[V13]

Price shouldn't be untouchable. In fact he should be the first guy on the trade list if they want to rebuild

But this is MB and he does everything backward so can't say i'm surprised

 

[Drew311]

I think Price will get tired of being shelled on a nightly basis pretty quick. Don't see him sticking around through the rebuild, because Montreal should be starting from scratch.

 

[Empoleon8771]

The problem with the Habs current situation is that they don't have a good prospect pool at all and they don't have that many attractive trade assets. Who on that team actually has as high value as they should have based on their age and ability? Maybe Petry and Danault and that's about it? Other players are either having bad seasons (Drouin, Pacioretty, Gallagher and Galchenyuk are the big ones), have awful contracts (Price, Weber, Alzner and Shaw) or don't have that much value.

I'd love for the Penguins to add Danault though, but I don't see how that would work.

Come on. We took Julien off your hands. What more do you want from us???
