Terribly underwhelming movie though. Kevin Costner sucks.

If Eller or Gallagher (etc) get traded, I will lose my mind.
Gorges for PAP sounds fine, Gionta should go. That's about it for player movement. No need to ship anyone else off too hastily.
Yeah...
This team has been good enough to FINISH FIRST in the recent years,but there destined to make sure this is a 10 YEAR REBUILD that doesn't even need to happen.
Trading away players isnt the issue.....you can bring in any top name here,and that doesn't change the conflict in the room.
Trading away good talent at this stage,you're GETTING LOW VALUE.....and in the panic you do deals like Mike RIBERIO FOR JANNE NIMMINA TYPE DEALS or Scott Gomez for Ryan McDounagh....
So if the plan is to start tradin away players, for the new guys to play for this same coach,say hello to rebuilding in 2021 .

Just the tip!
This is nothing but a mild mediocrity era I lived through the Houle debacle or the many "genius" moves of Serge Savard.

I'm not a pessimist - I was defending rational progression under Gainey up until his last couple of seasons of senility. And then also for the post-Martin Gauthier where it was clear we were tanking but everybody was butthurt and wanted Goat's head because Dave Stubbs reported that Spacek was annoyed that he couldn't eat cheese.We should merge you two and have the ideal poster, not too optimistic, not too pessimistic.
With Bergevin it's different though - he came in a golden god into a great, not perfect but great, situation. Very talented young team, lots of assets, unlimited budget and the media and fans on his side.
He's proceeded to piss in all our faces all the while he's metamorphosed into Bob Gainey. I literally cannot see the difference between the two. Passive, arrogant ****wits.
A decade plus of this nonsense. This unprofessional, half-assed nonsense. And Serge 'lurch' Savard is the genius who hired Bergevin. So his legacy lives on, in a way.
I hope his investment company is indicted for treason, or something. Lurch saddled us with Bergevin, that's criminal enough... give him the chair!
They can trade the rest BUT him. Add Diaz to that list, maybe. 17-18 million $ of crap.
Bergevin, so far, has not been fleeced in a trade. He did not make many. Cole for Ryder was fine. Drewiske and Parros for picks, that's ok.

Habs should keep Gionta, it would be a mistake to trade him unless they get a top prospect or 1st round pick.

Agreed, really hope they don't give up on him. He looks so good with Pacioretty on the pk when they play together, I wish DD would get hurt and we could see that combo 5on5. Now you get a guy like Chris Stewart to play RW on this line and it'll be a pretty heavy one... And now I wake up!
Or he could ride out this slump that they go through every year. Why make any panic moves at all? And can you justify your speculation that he has lost his team?
Just don't trade away promising young players, it's as easy as that. Draft picks and veterans are easier to move from a management standpoint and are highly sought after by either rebuilding or contending teams.
I'm sure someone would like Anaheim, San Jose or Chicago would take a flyer on Gionta for his experience in the playoffs.

I actually am. What Gionta brings to the Habs value wise will not be met in a deadline day trade so their is no point in moving him.
Eller looks good with the two Gally's.
With PAP with DD a nd MaxPac, that EGG line would be reunited eventually (when Galchy is back).
MB needs to find another winger for Plekky.
Hey guys, I'm going to throw a potential trade theory out of left field here.
I think the reason management spoke to PK before the practice wasn't to necessarily scold him, perhaps it was to alert him of a change. I think that today's rumor involving Gorges & Gionta gives merit to the thought that the Canadiens want a new leadership core in the dressing room for the future of the franchise. Maybe they were communicating that to PK for a potentially drastic shift in the future of this team.

...if we somehow got a 1st rounder for Gionta, I would seriously run laps around my house naked in celebraton...my kids would probably be mortified, but not nearly as much as the neighbors...

If our leadership is traded Plekanec should get serious captaincy consideration. Subban, Pacioretty are possible assistant's.
So wait a minute
They hire this guy to be the big GM and he needs to call a big meeting to pull a move ?
