I meant Toews.
The guy was calling Price overrated, not Toews.

Doesn't Toews have a NMC? NotMoving(to)Canadiens.
3-time cup winner, definitely overpaid at $10million but he is their #1C regardless. Who do the Habs have to offer to help centre the Hawks' top line? Drouin ?
Not a good fit, even though its enticing to get a #1C and a goalie from the Hawks (who is from Montreal btw) in the package. This definitely helps out the Habs in their rebuild but not the Hawks.
You can definitely load up the offer with picks, prospects, etc but that doesn't get Bowman to flip the switch on the trade because he still is out one #1C.
He's 1C on Chicago. On Pittsburgh he wouldn't probably be 4C... or would, but not higher.
He would be a healthy scratch on Toronto
That was my point. He was the one saying otherwise.
Awful D? Overpaid Goalie? They had a very rough starts and then Weber went down. Petry started to play much better, Mete was just fine where he was. Benn, Schelmko and Alzner got from mediocre to meh. Juulsen, Reilly are playing well. All we need is a healthy Weber and someone decent to play with, which can be acquired via trade.
Call Price overpaid if you want, but he’s still one, if not the best in the league.
I won’t ever bother comment on your « declining » Toews. Clearly you haven’t seen him play. He’s still got it and with two solid wingers, could easily pull a Bergeron.

On most every team in the league Toews would now be the #2C ... Pittsburgh is an unusual example given it's 2 #1 C's in Crosby and Malkin and too boot they just traded a 1st, 3rd and goalie ( plus plus involving LV ) for Brassard to play 3CHe's 1C on Chicago. On Pittsburgh he wouldn't probably be 4C... or would, but not higher.
Toews has one more in him.On most every team in the league Toews would now be the #2C ... Pittsburgh is an unusual example given it's 2 #1 C's in Crosby and Malkin and too boot they just traded a 1st, 3rd and goalie ( plus plus involving LV ) for Brassard to play 3C
At any rate it's all good .... Hawks won their three cups ... it's now time to wait for a new regime!
The Habs wouldn't want him.Well, you know what a hassle it is to move. Better to stay with the devil you know. Really I don't know why the Canadiens would want Toews. Isn't there better ways to spend 10m?
