Out of Town Thread: (Subtitle TBD)

[The Great Weal]

Ceci and Claesson are the other names I saw thrown around, but I don't think either are enough to get COL interested.

I think it would require a pretty valuable forward asset (like Galchenyuk) if they are going to trade him 1 for 1. Or else, they would need a solid defenseman or defenseman prospect coming back along with that high end forward prospect (Colin white).

I don't think they would take Galchenyuk 1-for-1, again just based on the rumors of COL's insanely high ask. Galchenyuk + Juulsen/Mete + 1st more likely.

It all depends on what they want too. If they want to use Duchene to get a high-end D, Galchenyuk doesn't have much value to them so it doesn't matter what else we add.

Vegas Twitter account is savage.

Man the Habs twitter and social media are so bad.

Vegas Twitter account is savage.

It's official new rivalry! Savage!

[Lafleurs Guy]

I hope for the best for that guy.

Ducks traded Théodore to Vegas, lost Lindholm and Vatanen to injuries till January. Kessler is out till further notice.

Getzlaf and Perry are getting older.

Man, that's gonna be hard.

Well, they're still is SoCal. Lucky them.

 

[G0bias]

In a vacuum, Galchenyuk straight up for Duchene would be a net loss in value across the line.

Better offensive player, better cap hit, better term, younger and no history of complaining or sulking.

In terms of fit and overall impact its a marginal improvement if not sideways.

Since he missed the boat on Radu, MB needs to find a way to add Duchene without touching our main core.

Getzlaf and Perry are getting older.

Man, that's gonna be hard.

Lindholm is only out until November 1st. Vatanen "might" be available to play at some point in November. Kesler's the one looking at a January return or so.

They'll be fine with a month of:

Fowler-Montour
Beauchemin-Manson
Megna/Larsson/Holzer-Bieksa

for a month, followed by:

Lindholm-Montour
Fowler-Manson
Beauchemin-Bieksa

and ultimately:

Lindholm-Montour
Fowler-Manson
Beauchemin/Bieksa-Vatanen

plus they have Gibson and Miller. They'll be okay for a month. Getzlaf hasn't really shown signs of slowing down and could probably produce more if he shot more. Perry is slowing down, though.

Man the Habs twitter and social media are so bad.

Yeah they've always been bad.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I hope for the best for that guy.

I do, too. If he plays 40 or more games this year (regular season and playoffs included), then Habs don't lose their 2nd Round pick, leaving them with the 3 they originally had before this deal.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Man the Habs twitter and social media are so bad.

The Habs are moron.

 

[CHarlie]

I hope for the best for that guy.

Me too I want to keep our 2nd round pick.

Explain me how he can do that ?

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

Sergachev's goal tonight.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Ryan White got destroyed by Curtis MacDermid.

Le P'tit David scores a goal for the Rangers!

This.

 

[Roadhouse]

Sergachev's goal tonight.

I don't think Mete will ever be able to pull that kind of wrister on a pinch, that was a beauty. He still has better acceleration and defensive IQ than Sergachev, which is alright I guess - other young Ds have size, and we have a few guys who can shoot now.

I'm confident we'll see more Drouin highlight reel goals than Sergachev ones, short and long term. Asset wise, that's who we should compare Serge to after all...

 

[Chili]

Got those capspace blues?

Can`t get the Hossa itch?

Try Lou`s Lupul loophole.

Fot instant(gram) relief.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Yeah you guys should really be cheering for Sergachev to make the team this year — it’s a very, very good draft to have three second round picks.

So what are the chances that Sergachev actually makes the team this year? Is Tampa in desperate need of someone to fill a D spot this year?

 

[WeThreeKings]

Boeser and Chytil having impressive debuts so far.

Both players I was extremely high on.

 

[SquiddFX]

Boeser was good at the end of last season as well for Vancouver. They have a great player on their hands.

I don’t think it would simply be a marginal upgrade. The Habs have been average at taking faceoffs for years. His speed also fits perfectly with this forward group. If the trade happened, the only average skater in the Top 9 would be Hudon.

And “sulking†is harsh. They’ve treated him like crap publicly. If your employer said “hey Gobias, we don’t really like you anymore, so we are looking to transfer you to another office in another city. We can’t tell you when or where or if you’ll like it. Oh and you can’t quit.†It’s a ****** situation.
