Friedman: Only Price and Mete untouchable in Montreal

[Habs Halifax]

This is rich, a scab fan and Sens fan talking about other teams prospect as their teams race each other to the bottom of the league

Took you a while to come up with a reply. Also, You spelled Habs wrong

 

[schnapshot]

Sure, you couldn't use probably the best sniping prospect outside the NHL.

That's besides the point. We needed a good center prospect more than we needed a winger prospect, hence why we got the best available.

Any team would say they could use the best sniping prospect outside the NHL. Why didn't Boston draft him then? Because they had other needs.

Montreal needs a #1C.
Boston ha 3 good LD prospects and Krug on the roster when they picked up Vaakanainen, they didn't pick for need.

 

[Habs Halifax]

They also selected what has become a teenage mutant ninja minute-eating top-pairing defenseman in the following draft. I think they can be forgiven for not selecting Chabot, at least.

Lets see what McAvoy does without Chara. I think he was an awesome pick for the Bruins at 14th and they even skipped by Chchrun to take him. I am curious to see what he can do without Chara though. Chara is a beast still at age 40 and he makes players around him better IMO.

Is Tolvanen a 1C? No. What's your point?

Montreal is needing a true 2C too since ideally Danault is a 3C. Which is what Poehling projects to be.

You pick the best prospect available and not try to go for need to hopefully to add a #2C or a #3C.

Tolvanen last year with 2 top10 picks in the next 2 years would be a good start to rebuilding, it would have also made trading Pac easier.

Just so I'm clear, I really wanted the Habs to draft Tolvanen at 25.

We didn't. He fell hard at the draft. Like I said, 29 teams passed on a top 10 talent. So why is Montreal getting thrown under the bus for this? You wouldn't argue that Detroit was in need of a sniping winger instead of a 6'6 grinding center? Or Edmonton? Or San Jose?

What if Tolvanen had struggled in the KHL? Easy to pick him as a future offensive force with the benefit of hindsight.

You're splitting hairs here.

Even 'maybe' is a big stretch. I wouldn't let him touch my Legos either.

i'd let him step on my lego but thats it

Time for the Montreal Canadiens to Become Trade Deadline Sellers

 

[Legend123]

would rather the jets recent first rounder than roslovic, if a trade was to be made...

Vesalainen is pretty close to untouchable right now. Roslovic is still a pretty decent haul

 

[SI90]

I’d like Deslauriers for the isles

Wow just another opinion piece by who...???. This guys pretty much regergitated the same stuff that has been reported on. At least everyone dropped that awful price trade fable. Seriously though who trades their top center prospect for a player that is by all means a glorified rental you know who wont be apart of your team especially when your not even top 4 or 8 to win cup this year. That one player who looked bad by the way on tuesday is not going to make the blues playoff contenders especially when he disappears in the playoffs. But hey keep fighting the good fight habs fans.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

i disagree with article Kings are looking for a top 4 defense man a upgrade on Forbort neither Benn or Schlemko are a upgrade on what we have already

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Problem is, nobody wants to trade high end prospects for a left wing with that term.

Left wing options are numerous.

You font think teams needs are really considered. Teams needs are irrelevant to some habs fans and writers.

You sir are 110% correct. It's nothe a slight to patches it's a well this kid could be our next center and fills a posirional need.

That isn't speculation, more life a fact.

 

[bleuetbio]

Montreal should study about trading Jeff Petry. Petry is probably one of the hotest dman in NHL right now with 10 points in 11 games.

Sell high!

I agree! Petry is on pace to easily have the best season of his career. If he can keep having 35-40 points seasons for the next 3 season he will be a very good addition to any team.

Roslovic is more valuable than Vesalainen and lol at the idea of trading either for Patchs

yeah cuz clearly they are worth more than pacs... amirite?

Why would the Jets give up a top prospect for a guy that would be our fourth best LW?

Uhh pardon?, You have 3 perennial 30 goals scores on LW?

All of Ehlers, Connor and Perreault are having better seasons than Pacioretty this year
