Confirmed with Link: Carrier to the Habs for Justin Barron

[nine_inch_fang]

Trotz has really turned into a shitstorm of word salad, hasn't he? Just say whatever to justify anything. That's the kind of conceit in a GM that buries a franchise.

 

[Viqsi]

I didn’t realize how short Blanks was

Yeah, it's funny how I seem to like a lot of short guys. Go figure, eh?

Is this slam at my height?

 

[Viqsi]

Is this slam at my height?

It's more intended as good-natured ribbing than a slam. That and other guys on my favorites list include the likes of Ryan Ellis and Cam Atkinson and Nathan Gerbe...

EDIT: In the interest of equal time for anyone else watching: Y'know how there's a concept of "plus-size"? I'm kind of plus-plus-plus size. Come from a family of large people; everyone is thickly built and broadshouldered.

Supposedly wanted Annunen as well last season... so was he looking to pre-empt an Askarov trade request by going after the AVs perceived future goalie at the time or were we looking to get a bigger package from the AVs for Saros or Askarov with Annunen being part of the return? Kindof an off insight that we were looking to get him

You’re OK this just me being crabby because I haven’t eaten yet. It’s past noon

 

[Top 6 Spaling]

"We felt comfortable trading this guy away because we trusted the guy currently on waivers who might also be gone today"

Thanks Barry, very cool

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

I guess trotz wanted Barron last year too

Also this seems odd considering we just waived DelG but whatever

Yeah, I totally want an NHL defense that is:

Josi - Barron
Skjei - Schenn
Wilsby - Blankenburg
Stastney -
Del Gaizo -

That's a Cup-winning formula.

I mean... i dont think we have a cup winning team either way so unless Barry pulls some real magic and gets crazy we are SOL.

Calder Cup, maybe

 

[Soundgarden]

I mean, we're obviously gunning for pick no.1. We look more promising with Molendyk and Gibson coming soon.

You cant over marinate a prospect - Barry Trotz

We will see those two in 2028

 

[triggrman]

I'll be honest. To me, Wilsby, Stastney and Blankenburg are far better than, Carrier, Lauzon, Del Gaizo.

I like the more mobile direction the defense is taken. I'm just wondering though, isn't there still one that might be out of place.......

 

[herzausstein]

Well del gaizo did clear waivers and we still have gravel. So our d pairs tonight likely look like the last game.

 

[Runner77]

Trotz looks silly, though. I’m still pulling for NoNeck to get this thing right.

He did. Satisfied his fantasy about a potential neck transplant.

 

[herzausstein]

That neck will lose three inches under the stress of the extra head weight but it is still an overall gain for Trotz

Never considered the compression theory for Trotzy's neck...it's valid

Not for the Admirals.

If we keep using up defenders like hot pockets, KT is going to be coaching how to slide traffic barrels around and pretend they are teammates.

Habs fan here. Finally we got rid of Justin in Canada land (future 51th state of America) but it wasn't the Justin I wanted out, lol. Justin Barron is a major flop, I don't see any positive about that player. He avoid contact and he lose every battle. Too bad for you guys (and girls).
Have a beer and cheers !

Meh. It's more or less a cap dump I think. Barron having a shot in the dark of becoming something is just a bonus

We are used to that situation in Montreal. Half of the time it works fine and the other half it doesn't.
Is Barron is a "reclamation project"? We have plenty of those, welcome to the club. Cross your fingers. Barron did have good games when he came here. But last few years he was playing 50% of the time.

Y’all keeping the state name of Canada or going with something more chic like New Florida?
