And make a soft team even softer
You know that Higgins got 3 points in 25 games this season, right?

Losing Eller doesn't soften anything, he's as soft as pancake. No offensive creativity.

DSP blows move him for anything

I would take a case of gatorade and 2 composite sticks for DSP and it would be a fair trade. How does he have an NHL job? What does he do on the ice? I watch the games and I see nothing.

If I was the coach I would send him out as the 6th player and the refs would not even notice, yes he's just so easy to miss.

 

[Milhouse40]

Without dumping salary we can't add offense...people can't seem to grasp that.

Eller making 3.5 mil for 25 points(with 60+% o-zone starts) is a huge waste of cap space.

Of course, players in the NHL are only paid for point production.

If Eller is soft....what Desharnais is?

A solid two way scoring dynamic creative machine.

 

[Monctonscout]

Eric Staal & Kris Versteeg for Plekanec, Hudon & a 2nd

How does that trade make any sense?

Staal is on pace for about 50 points and Plekanec 60. Isn't the point to add offense not reduce it?

Plus Hudon and 2nd for Verstieg is horrible.

Staal for a 2nd and a mid rounder or B prospect...plus they'd have to eat part of his salary(8.25 mil).

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Can't say I would be surprised if we landed Higgins. Granted, I think he's much better than this season has indicated, but he's also not a fit. The only spot Higgins actually helps is our PK. But hey, if we get him for stupidly cheap (salary held and/or a very late pick), I'm not going to complain. Why? Because if Bergevin is making a panic trade to keep Therrien alive, this won't hurt us, and only serves to tighten that noose.

Logic dicates you keep the guy who averages 50 pts vs the guy on pace for 25.

You guys refer to MB as BargainBin, but suggest more useless trades. Let's trade Eller and DSP for more bottom 6 players.

Yup. Hoping the next bottom 6 will finally get more than 25 / 30 pts per season!

and why not have smaller players while at it!

But ... but ... we're only in Year 4 of the 5-year plan.

We are heading for a dumb trade I can just feel it.

 

[HabsDood]

Can't help but think we could have pick Scott for nothing.. An all star to boot.

lol. Nice. It's only funny cause it's true

2nd liners are paid to produce. Except in Montreal, of course...

 

[Scriptor]

Eller would make an awesome 4th line C and there'd be no complaints other than about his Cap hit. Nobody would be expecting him to produce points when he's on the ice...

 

[WeThreeKings]

Bring back Higgins, the Kostitsyns and Perezhogin!!!

All of these players would be an improvement over most of our top 9.

free Leblanc!!!

God no.. Leblanc and Tinordi picks still haunt me.

No, fourth line players do not make 3.5 million and take up that much cap space.

 

[Habsawce]

Higgins and Weber to Montreal e5

 

[Garry Valk]

Perhaps the Nucks may want Gilbert? could be a good fit both ways.

 

[Mr. Hab]

I love trade talk (who doesn't love a good trade? as long as it works for us!, or for both teams), but...

We better get a couple of star UFAs on July 1st, 2016...5 1/2 months to go! (but time flies, so...).
(I like UFAs since we get to keep our prospects+picks...that's how we continue being good and getting better...UFAs are crucial/important, imo).

Those Hab ticket prices are ludicrous...Hab fans deserve some star UFAs. I'll be waiting for July 1st and will expect a lot.
(and I'm not against PTOs either!).

 

[Brainiac]

Nostalgia is a real and strong force.

Why not bring back Richer and Naslund, while we're at it.
