In a vacuum, I would.

You'd also have MUCH bigger problems too

 

[salbutera]

BriseBois is a great GM. He sees the writing on the wall with Stamkos and his diminishing game. That’s a big time name for that organization but he’s not caving for that factor. Unlike our previous GM crying when talking about f***ing Brendan Gallagher and signing a clearly finished product to a horrendous contract.

Nah…negotiation tactic by Brisebois, he’s got very limited cap space to work with and stay competitive, he knows Stamkos doesn’t want to leave TBay. Question now is, whether this tactic will backfire / does Stamkos take this as a personal affront?

 

[WeThreeKings]

That's an overreaction to a Cosentino comment by Friedman. Marek throws cold water on it immediately and the Hawks writers for Athletic are both on Levshunov.

Montreal snubs Demidov to take Buium? If Corey is right, I can't wait to hear the reactions of Canadiens fans." - Marc Antoine Godin

You'll never guess who I'd pick inside an air purifier!

 

[Frankenheimer]

This thread needs to be studied.

Why? Behaviour is consistent with what's been happening on this board for last 20 years. This place is an outlet for anxiety because people are unable to control their base emotions or find other means of self-control. Net result is a groundswell of anxiety that percolates upwards into the atmosphere, descending in black rain that kills all our hopes and dreams. So yeah, business as usual.

Game of chicken is on…does Stamkos yield?

Gorton did say we want short term FAs. Stamkos would be on that list

 

[Jack Skellington]

feel bad for the guy but you gotta stand up for yourself man hahah it’s grant mcagg not scotty bowman

I think he probably wants to break into the world of sports media and part of that is being perceived as an easy guy to work with. Unfortunately when you're starting out you sometimes feel the need to just swallow your pride. Grant is a hack but Tony clearly has some pull in the MTL media seeing as he has had Bergevin himself on his show in the last and is at the draft right now. Grants co-host is with him actually which is probably why Grant is salty.

5 years?

Godin is late on his insider knowledge. Montréal won't be snubing Demidov for Buium, since Buium won't be there at 5 at this point.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

If the habs do take a dman with the 5th overall pick, I'm pretty sure we will either move up from the 26th pick to draft a forward like Eiserman, or trade for a 6 forward (Laine, Necas, Zegras) today

I said a few months back, I’d throw a 3-yr / $27M ($9M AAV) deal his way w $24M in bonus payouts.

As I said back then, the only remote hope of Stamkos accepting would need to start by being offended by TBay’s offer / negotiation process

And that's still a huge net loss.

It's wild that Grant still gets any respect (even in his replies on Twitter). He's got a very consistent track record of being a stuck-up, petulant child who takes any criticism of his rankings personally.

No thanks at 9m per season.

should have traded him tampa weren’t sniffing a cup this year

 

[TesseractPrice]

Depending on potential fallers, I think he’s going to San Jose at 11 now. I think they jumped Phili for a reason with that trade.

Could be for Catton or a falling dman too. I'd personally take Catton before Eiserman and Catton being available at 11 is very possible

 

[Habs]

I still think one of Catton/Iggy/Eiserman will end up being the stars of the draft outside of Celebrini

i mean the shane fella is in vegas and grant is on his couch. People let themselves get walked over too often it’s sad to see.

 

[waffledave]

People getting worked up over Demidov as if they regularly watch MHL games. I do hope we take him but I admit all I have seen are stickhandling highlights. Nobody does that kind of thing in the NHL today.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I want Iginla

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

ok posters

Demi is there at 5
Lidstrom is there at 5

Who do you pick??

Demidov by a mile and if not I take Iginla.....

It's because he blocks anyone that doesn't kiss his ass immediately

Which is fine. At least he’s trying it. Meanwhile we re-signed Price to an absurd contract a year before his current contract had expired. Of course he had a mediocre season and we could have got him for less.

 

[Lockin17]

I really like

Stian Solberg​

How can we get him with our second pick ???
Trade up i guess needs to be around #20 i guess
