GDT: Trade Deadline 2017

[void]

Translation: Habs are still in discussions to try to improve the team but nothing major

Yup

 

[luthar]

donghabs98 confirming Sky is blue!

Technically it's not, it just seems that way

 

[BigHabs]

Alright enough of the sulking about Subban. Im sure everyone has moved on from each organization.

Glad for Subban and stuff that he is with someone who wants him for who he is?

Like come on guys they are all grownups and professionals. Lets move on and talk about potential targets.

 

[The Nightman]

Yup

Welp, this is disappointing.

 

[Rapala]

I still can't believe we got Ott...
Why?

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Translation: Habs are still in discussions to try to improve the team but nothing major

Yup

Ça sent la coupe !

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Yup

This seems insanely stupid. This team can't score to save their life and we're supposed to contend. We need scoring.

 

[hototogisu]

I'm not saying that other teams not doing anything is justification for Bergevin not adding scoring, but it's interesting that a lot of other bubble teams like us haven't made any moves at all.

Expected more from teams like BOS, NYI, NSH, EDM, ANA, CGY, WPG...

Are you surprised though?

 

[Milhouse40]

I've been saying Tyler Johnson quite a bit today

 

[V13]

Look, I agree we need to improve our top 6, but there's no one available right now. If other teams were landing guys like Tavares while Bergy was sitting around with his thumb up his butt, I would also be mad at him for not doing more, but what do you honestly expect him to do right now?

Not much as the options seems limited. 3 possibilities imho :

- He pays Sakic asking price for Duchene
- Vrbata
- Fillpula

That same team was scoring many goals before the month of January... Why would not be able to come back to that level ?

It is not like TT and MB had no chance to DRAFT some talented scoring forwards in the past... They did not.

 

[The Nightman]

Of course they have to work some Matthews tire pumping into the show.. As if there wasn't enough already.

 

[Adriatic]

We will be out in the first round with this roster unless Price is in God mode. Scoring will dry up like every single playoff run in recent memory. This team will never out score the metro teams in a 7 game series. They might outllay them but they cannot score.

I don't know about that. Price has never really been god mode in playoffs and we've managed to win some playoffs rounds just recently with worse rosters.

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

I don't mind the trades so far. But if you pull 4 different moves and none of them bring extra scoring help, considering the price Florida paid for Vanek earlier today, well there's a big issue with how Bergevin evaluates his team.

We're one Pacioretty injury away from being the worst team in the NHL.

 

[antoniojr]

He or Palat would be welcomed with open arms.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Translation: Habs are still in discussions to try to improve the team but nothing major

Yup

I'm thinking it's deals involving guys like Ghetto or Mitchell or Flynn or all of the above. So I don't think they'll fetch us anything important.

 

[Rapala]

I've been saying Tyler Johnson quite a bit today

They are certainly going to move something...

 

[BatVader]

Translation: Habs are still in discussions to try to improve the team but nothing major

Yup

Seems about right.
No more bottom 6 plugs available.

 

[Kenny Powders]

Have you seen Vanek play in the PO with us?

I'm glad we didnt get him

That's because Bergevin is good at making trades. You always hear how he's always active, well, this is the result of that. The old "keep your ear to the ground" saying.

But according to 90% of posters, he sucks....

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Translation: Habs are still in discussions to try to improve the team but nothing major

Yup

Louis Jean is one of the more useless reporters when it comes to Habs' information, I don't put any stock into what he says.

 

[antoniojr]

Have you seen Vanish play in the PO with us?

I'm glad we didnt get him

fixed...

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Bruins have discussed Palat with Tampa, apparently.

Oh boy.

 

[CH25]

If the Bruins get a top 6 player before us oh boy.. MB better hide.
