That's because the expected outcome is no return - i.e. no trade. If him being traded becomes more plausible, the expected return changes. Right now, tho, this sure sounds like a "folks are coveting but they ain't selling unless you pay something stupid" scenario to me.
Dunno there is a whole lot of smoke, combined with a struggling team looking to possible make a move to fix some things and I don't think its that crazy to think its way more plausible than fans think.
There is a more widely reported Cozens for Pettersson trade circulating.
Fans generally pay attention to what their beat writers and insiders have to say, and I take more interest in the seller's perspective rather than the buyer's. There are many prospective buyers but only the one seller, so it's their opinion that counts and which determines whether or not a move actually gets made.
@Scoresberg being proven more and more accurate on Laine, assuming he manages to stay on the ice. But hey, at least we weren't the ones that gave him up (sorry Viqsi).
The question never was really if he could still put up points, it really was a matter of whether he could stay healthy enough that it would really matter.
I'm definitely still skeptical on that count, and also really hope he finally finds that longevity somewhere other than Montreal. f*** those guys!
Very true, but in the scenario he DIDN’T stay healthy, we could’ve gotten rid of him in two years. Whereas Marchessault is here until the turn of the decade..
I love my teammates; I'm all in; I just want to win.Duchene sounds like a "different" kind of guy from the NHL stormtrooper. I can definitely imagine Trotz wanting that kind of mentality off the team.

Definitely traits no one needs on their roster.

Methinks they'll win two out of the three games before the holiday break, head into the break having won 4 out of 6, and in their minds "are clearly trending towards better times".
