So you wouldn’t want to improve the team before the expansion draft? Hope you won’t shit on Bergevin if he doesn’t add because he’s afraid to lose a player in the expansion draft.I wouldn't spend quality draft picks on Puljujarvi less than a year from an expansion draft.
hes 6’5 but when has he ever been physical? He’s also an injury prone player and streaky player.

Well we can not sign over draft player we pick, not will they all become NHL players. Given that we have one of the deepest and talented prospect pools in the NHL and have another 14 picks in this draft, it would behove us to parlay some of these picks into actual NHL bodies. This year in particular.Your reaction bamboozled me, to be frank. I would argue drafting 3 players in the 2nd round will improve the team for when it matters. On the contrary, trading those picks for a player we could then lose a year later for nothing is poor asset management. For the record, I would take a flyer on Puljujarvi post-expansion draft.
Unlike what you infer I have zero expectations for the team next year except developing our young players adequately. Hoping Puljujarvi is the difference between making the playoffs or not is very optimistic. I don't know how you would logically conclude that I would trashtalk Bergevin if he did exactly what I wish he does...
I would...be all over JP if I'm HabsI wouldn't spend quality draft picks on Puljujarvi less than a year from an expansion draft.
Is he expansion exempt?Forget about Puljujarvi. Go after Borgstrom instead.
No he isn't, but I wouldn't be opposed to make a trade involving a player. I also think it would be wise to hold off negotiations for Tatar, Gally, Danault, Armia and Petry. Firstly, if the Habs are a bottom 10 team once again next year, I wouldn't be opposed to trading away most of them. Secondly, if we still want to keep them, resigning them after the draft means we get to keep all of them.Is he expansion exempt?
I’m all for trading a second round pick for puljijarvi. Possibly even 2 of them. If we picked a player with those picks who at 21 years old put up those numbers in the Finish league we’d be drooling
Why not both?Forget about Puljujarvi. Go after Borgstrom instead.
Because I'd rather give someone better a spot instead of JP.Why not both?
Borgstrom Puljujarvi Kaprizov : get those 3 youngster add them to our core.
- Where do you put them
- why
- for what (picks player,ect)
Can be one of them 2 or all of them. Give me yours thoughts!
Like it's beyond laughable. Kaprizov is already committed to Minnesota & can't play for anyone else. You want to give up 3 or 4 1st? Yeah you are dreamingBorgstrom Puljujarvi Kaprizov : get those 3 youngster add them to our core.

You forgot the most important. Start with a Finnish coach and GM. Jukka Jalonen and Jarmo Kekäläinen. Edit: inclined to make an exception for a few Russians, maybe an assistant coach and a few players, beginning with Romanov. Not sure if the two parts of the team can coexist, given their history; hopefully that's water under the bridge.Let's go All in SUOMI!

No thanksAccordng to Kevin Kurz of The Athletic, that has changed.
Kurz feels that Vlasic is now ready to waive his no movement clause to accept a trade to Montreal.
6 years left at 7M per season for a 33 year old Vlasic. Probably wouldn’t want to take him on. SJ would have to retain and take Alzner back.Accordng to Kevin Kurz of The Athletic, that has changed.
