What's the point for Montreal? They're not contending for many years. Toews doesn't make them remotely close to a contender.

Acquiring a guy like Toews definitely brings them closer to a cup. I’d bet they end up being pretenders and with the right moves, could be contenders as soon as next year

Lol I wouldn't take him for free at 10.5M. Keep him.

Please. That’s insane.

How is it insane? I’m pretty sure a lot of teams wouldn’t take Toews for free with that awful contract.

Contenders for what? They've got an awful D. They got an overpaid goalie. Please enlighten all of us how a guy declining ( Toews) suddenly makes Montreal cup contenders....

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.

Do a poll and ask if Toews makes Montreal a cup contender. And yeah....hes ( Price) overrated. How's he performed in the playoffs? Not up to par. He's had one magnificent season.

He’s still one of the best two-way C in the game and he might be overpaid, but not that much. Wait until Matthews, Laine, Tavares etc.. sign their new contracts. ~10M/year is the new norm for 1C and elite scorers
Toews isn't a 1C or elite scorer though.
