Damnnnn Ek suggests this so now there is no way of the Habs furthering the crippling of their franchise by 'adding' Toews.


Also Im convinced that Eklund is someone who straight up proven to be a legit person to those behind closed doors (HF) but has absolutely no legit sources and people who add anything meaningful.

Or Eklund pays some money to allow his garbage to still be shared.

if Chicago somehow managed to get something of value for Toews and his awful contract it would be a deal of the decade type move

we're talking an Erat for Forsberg type steal

A trade involving Toews to Montreal isn't going to happen but if it did the player going to Chicago would be Galchenyuk ..

Getting rid of Toews and adding some quality signings puts the Hawks right back into contention

I don't think it would matter. Decline/overpaid aside i have a hard time seeing Chicago dumping Toews. They don't have the players in the system to replace him.

Unless it involved the top 3 pick Montreal has, but that's unrealistic at best.

A sick part of me thinks this could happen.....

Montreal needs a center desperately bad and Bergevin is unpredictable

But its Eklund..

#3 and Galchenyuk for Toews+ is a Bergevin move (not one i'd do)

Yeah ok. Fine, whatever. We're not going anywhere, why not bring toews and see if he can help the team get out of the suck. We have some decent offensive guys who could, oh I don't know, use a proper center.

Do it bargainbin

That plan also has the added benefit of accelerating the habs eventual "burning of the place down". Toews contract, weber's, price, f*** it, bring Tavares in too. 4 contracts, 60% of the cap! ITS NEVER BEEN DONE! Stack that mother up Bergy!!

Lol I am immediately thinking of Galchenyuk playing with Kane lol

How hilarious would it be if Chicago made Chucky a star at C and Toews regressed in MTL .

That would be such a Montreal thing to do (which I assume is the only reason Eklund said it). No way anybody is trading real assets for Toews right now.

Toews has went from being one of the most overrated to one of the most underrated in a short period of time.
Huh? Not one single person in this thread has even mentioned anything about his quality of play.

People have mentioned his contract, which is objectively awful. That has nothing to do with being over/underrated.
