Yes, I'm against selling everything over 25 years old of age as a great rebuild logic.So you're on record with being against tanking and selling veterans for assets?

You seem to only want to go against the grain.
At least use an example that doesn't involve a scratched player. We didnt need to sign Plekanec.HF Habs: no one wants to sign in Montreal because of our bush league management.
Also HF Habs:
with Weber and Schlemko back, Ouellet is out
If Weber is back, Benn or Juulsenwith Weber and Schlemko back, Ouellet is out
If Scherbak is traded, we would demote a starting C in order to leave room for Pleks and Deslauriers? What??
how about finding a way to trade Alzner

Plekanec, who is closer to 40 than 30 and is a scratch and hasn't played a game this year. Do you oppose trading him for assets?Yes, I'm against selling everything over 25 years old of age as a great rebuild logic.

If Schlemko is back, Alzner or Ouellet
For a F, trade Plekanec in the very near future, put DLR on the roster.
When DLo comes back, decide between him, Scherbak and Peca. I would waive Peca as no one will claim him.
Or someone else gets hurt and we don'gt have to make Sophie's choice.

It would send a hell of a message if they waived Alzner. Not an undeserved one either - he's been brutal and hasn't improved his performance.I wouldn't touch juulsen . He is a top 4 right now and plays great with Reilly (sp?)
Alzner, Benn and Ouellet are expandables
Plekanec, who is closer to 40 than 30 and is a scratch and hasn't played a game this year. Do you oppose trading him for assets?
Because you said that in agreement with Belial who stated "Plekanec had a great career! It should end there."No, I'm not appose to it. Where did you get the idea I was? Because I said Pleky deserves some respect?
So do you oppose trading Plekanec this season - yes or no?That's not what we talked about before though...
Again, this is not as easy as some think IMO....
Obviously if Kotka continues to play well it won't be him, or they could decide he needs seasoning and send him down.
They could waive D'Lo. I can't see them waiving DLR.

To me, if we ever get fully healthy, after waiving Plekanec, it's between D'Lo and DLR. I want to hang on to Scherbak to see how much he can be molded. So back to D-lo vs. DLR. On the one hand, I'm not sure D-Lo fits the speed of this team. On the other hand at least he's shown he brings something: toughness and some offense. Imo, DLR has shown nothing. He got beat out by Froese last year and this year Peca beat him out. Still he's young and may have room to develop. His speed fits in more with this team. It's a tough call.

Been had a good game and Ouellet just joined and did well.
If they have to waive a forward, things could get marginally more interesting... so many depth players to choose from...
They should have never brought Plekanef back in the first place. I dont see them waiving him now though. I'd be surprised if they did that.
Its likely going to be a Scherbak trade. Or a DLR trade. Both will get claimed off waivers if exposed.
I can't see them waiving Peca, who has a decent chance at getting claimed. I think he has a very good camp and would rather see him as our 4th C than DLR anyway. And I dont see them waiving Deslaurier either, who they just extended and seemingly really like.
I think whoever you waive, is likely going to get claimed. So you either trade someone and hopefully get something back, or probably lose someone for nothing.

A decision will have to be made regarding the skilled forward. What’s everyone’s thoughts?
