[204hockey]

Aho/necas/Svech

Do u think it makes sense or Who needs to add

 

[Legend123]

I don't want to cheer at people's injuries but this is the best possible news for them.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Blatant tank move
Next that scrappy guy Gallager will need surgery too

 

[Never]

analytics love petry, hes a wonderful shot suppressor and kills weber in transition, hell hes even a better PP player.

Which is why analytics are nonsense. Petry is simply not as good as Weber. At all.

As for what the Habs should do? Lose for Hughes.

Petry is actually a good player.

even with this injury they are still in win-now mode, except there will be this pause. They could still tank for a good pick this year, but the following season they will be all-in again.

So what I'm saying is that they will not be selling off their decent players. They will not waste the Price contract, and they won't waste Weber's remaining years, as well as the prime years of Petry, Gallagher, Domi and Drouin

Which is a huge mistake, if they want want to compete sooner or later they need some centre depth.. they missed out on their best chance at a 1c

I'm not disputing that, I'm disputing your claim that Petry is as good as Weber. He's not.

Crack for Jack

 

[Sam Spade]

Andrei Markov should return. Guy has 2 healthy knees.

Funny you should say this, I saw this tweet yesterday:

What should Montreal do...

 

[skipjack]

What about a Montreal - Buffalo trade.

Montreal
Shea Weber

Buffalo
2nd Round pick
3d Round pick
Zach Bogosian
Nathan Beaulieu

 

[habsgirl5000]

Jack Hughes to MTL.

Knowing MB, he would probably trade Hughes to Tampa for Sergachev

 

[habsgirl5000]

MTL's GM is awful.

You giving him way too much credit!!

 

[Frank Drebin]

Lol. No, he absolutely isn't.

But the corsi spreadsheet says so?

 

[PensandCaps]

What about a Montreal - Buffalo trade.

Montreal
Shea Weber

Buffalo
2nd Round pick
3d Round pick
Zach Bogosian
Nathan Beaulieu

Not much value for MTL...And no team wants that contract. Weber is still a pretty good player, So MTL giving him away for nothing wouldn't be smart...

 

[Stand Witness]

Weber 50% to anyone who will take that awful contract

Price 50% to anyone who will take that awful contract

Prepare to be competitive in approx. 4 seasons, have those massive retentions come off the books in 8.

Horrible time to be a Habs fan.

 

[Agalloch]

Juulsen is making the team. And we miss the playoffs.

 

[Blackhawk93]

Blues have a surplus RD in Schmaltz, NHL ready PMD with 2nd pairing upside. 2019 2nd?

Schmaltz is garbage. Maybe for a sixth rounder.

As a Sabres fan, I want nothing to do with Weber's contract.

That deal has the Sabres taking on cap this season and for 6 seasons beyond when Bogosian's contract expires.

With Dahlin and Middlestadt coming off their ELCs over the next few years, the Sabres will need that cap space that will come from contracts like Moulson, Pominville, and Bogosian expiring to allow them to pay the kids.

 

[Price is Wright]

How much attitude does he have?
