That would be disgusting.

 

[Adam Michaels]

That would be disgusting.

Disgusting as in bad or good?

 

[yianik]

Domi one for one for Saad is a no brainer no from Montreal. Pretty sure MB really likes Saad though, so not good.

Saad is just not that good, and he is not physical.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Wasn't this just McGuire wildly speculating?

 

[A Loyal Dog]

Disgusting as in bad or good?

Beyond horrible for us. Might as well include Seabrook in the trade offer because "hey we're getting a great defenseman of yesteryear!"

 

[danyhabsfan]

they are gonna add Beaudin in the trade and every fefans will be happy.

 

[Deebs]

Interesting. I don't follow winnipeg closely enough. But from the outside, sure Wherler has the speed and vision to play center. But he's doing really well on the wwe ing. Why change a good thing.

He played there last year after Little got injured. They're thinking of moving Laine up with Scheifele and Connor.

 

[TannedBum]

I'm all on board for acquiring Saad, if he signs 3x4.5M contract extension right away.

 

[Zub]

Meh, it only confirms that there's something seriously wrong with Laine if the Jets try to sell him. Only a moron GM would fall for that.

Trust me there isn't, he was almost PPG and had improved massively on his overall game, he'd be a great pickup by the Habs.

 

[sampollock]

arc Antoine Godin of The Athletic says Domi is on his way out of town and there's only a 20% chance he starts next season in Montreal.
Godin says the combination of the contract negotiations and his spot on the depth chart easily point to Domi being done with the Habs.
"First off, as a restricted free agent with arbitration rights, Domi is exposed to a) a tense relationship with the Canadiens if his case ever winds up in arbitration or, b) committing long-term to the Canadiens to try and cash in on his best season. In either case, the level of confidence of both sides doesn’t seem all that high and the climate doesn’t appear ripe to a long-term arrangement. Another team, however, might be more willing to dive in with Domi, especially if they have their own contract headache to deal with.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I guess I'm the only one who would be happy if Habs get Saad. But maybe I'm overrating him also.

He is a bigger winger and can play both wings, Top-6. Since 2014-15, he's only had one season where he scored below 20 goals. He's not a power forward, but he isn't soft by any means. He's been good in the playoffs, too.

 

[TannedBum]

Trust me there isn't, he was almost PPG and had improved massively on his overall game, he'd be a great pickup by the Habs.

Then there's something seriously wrong with Chevyrelli.

 

[Vachon23]

Totally agree. If Romanov is less offensive than Sergachev, but more a McDonagh type of dman, we shouldn't trade him to get Laine.

I don’t think he is any of those offensively speaking

 

[Vachon23]

I like Saad alote an I’m 100 % on board for getting him but not for Domi. At least not 1 vs 1

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Brandon f***ing Saad

ahahahahhahaahhahahahahaahhahahahahaahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaahhahaahahahahah

Let's give a C who can do 50 points on a bad year whos rfa for a washed up winger who struggle to put points with Toews and Kane

ahhahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[Hannibal]

Saad vs Domi

WTF?

 

[26Mats]

I don’t think he is any of those offensively speaking

Makes sense. I'm looking forward to seeing his game at the NHL level. he was much more productive than McDonagh in the world juniors, who wasn't very productive at the NCAA level.

 

[Legend123]

I know he plays W, but can Saad play C? If so that can allow us to explore better options with Danault as it seems he wants out. Saad would take all defensive assignments and help shelter the young Cs.

 

[TannedBum]

I guess I'm the only one who would be happy if Habs get Saad. But maybe I'm overrating him also.

You're not overrating him. Great all-around top6 player. You're just one those few posters who are able to see things objectively.

 

[Supersonic]

If that trade happens, I’ll be pretty Saad

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

If that trade happens, I’ll be pretty Saad

Imagine trading a pending rfa with a bad season of 50 points into an incoming ufa that capped at 50 on stacked teams

 

[The Great Weal]

No doubt in my mind Bergevin loves Saad. Dont think we will give Domi for him 1 for 1.

 

[Zub]

Habs really need to aim for bigger than Brandon Saad..

 

[Habs Icing]

I’m encouraging you to look beyond their stats. And if you must, look at goals and not just points. Not a lot of 3rd liners score 27 while recording 214 hits.

We dismiss Domi's 28 yet we have to take Anderson's 27 as a sign of things to come. That's puzzling to me.
