let me know when Captain Purple Pants makes a trade that helps his team make the playoffs or makes a push for the playoffs. easy to be a seller at trade deadline. almost everyone over pays. at the end of the year he will again talk about injuries and increased assets. i love it. please Geoff give him a ten year extension

Some of the comments in this thread :laugh:.

Enjoy the 58th pick in the draft. We'll take our 7th D. Not sure what the problem is.

It's more shock that Bergevin was able to trade a guy we traded a 4th for for a 2nd & conditional 4th. Trust me, Montreal needs all the draft picks they can get because their drafting & developing sucks. It's another top 60 pick for us.

Scandella is pretty vanilla as a player. Good pker though. He immediately helped us in that department. Can't do anything offensively, but he worked really well and gave confidence to our kids when he played with him. A "helps settle them down" kind of D

Low key, low maintenance player.

As much as Bergevin has proven to be a twit GM, he knocked it out of the park with this one.

It seems most in this thread have totally neglected the retention portion of this deal--which has a pretty huge impact for the Blues and the valuation involved. This deal doesn't really say a ton about Botterill.

Scandella retained: 2mil. DeMelo: 900k. DeMelo better player.

DeMelo is better than Scandella, and got just a third.

A GM made a mistake here.

Of course, this neglects two important factors: one, salary retention; second, style preference. It would make sense that the Blues would prefer Scandella to DeMelo.

:laugh: Sure it was .You just hate it when the Habs fleece another team as per your post.:D
The point is they did not fleece, it's a good return and good and smart use of our cap space. Holding on to 2 mil increased his value from a 3rd to a 2nd.

While many don't want to admit it, Bergevin's one of the best-trading GMs in all of NHL.
If the guy had any kind of decent drafting and development teams the Habs would be a perennial contender. But we haven't had drafted an impact player in the first round since....?

Scandella is better offensively than DeMelo.
But DeMelo is a better player than Scandella.
But for the playoffs, Scandella is worth a little bit more than DeMelo
playoffs
40 games vs 10 games
9 pts vs 1pts ..

Fire Botterill. The imbecile traded Scandella for a 4th and traded that 4th for Frolik.

Habs just got a 2nd and cond 4th.

Unbelievable this guy still has a job.

Maybe he can trade our 6th rounder for a later pick in the 6th round, again. Straight up.

What a genius.

He could be the best trading GM in the world but when you have no plan, it's worth nothing.

But anyways, that's why I don't agree he's one of the worst GM in the NHL, he's too good at trades usually.
