Speculation: Domi Mega Thread

[Habs Halifax]

So... where are people who were arguing that Poehling + 16th OA + Domi vs Gaudreau was an atrocity value-wise?

After seeing 15th OA + Hallander + peanuts returning Kapanen + peanut

Need-wise, I don't know if I pull the trigger on Gaudreau, but still value was there.

Sad that we did not trade Domi for that package

Bergevin won't let you down on a trade... Stay patient. That package for Domi would have been a disappointment.

 

[habs03]

I don't even think Domi gets $5M in arbitration based on HF board tire deflating

What have you done for me lately mind set.

I can't do anything other than wait I just hope it's gonna fit need-wise. If he can sell Domi as a center rather than wing I'm hoping for a competent LD - but again I can just wait and watch

Arbitration would factor in his most recent seasons including his 72 pts and 28 goal season as well as his last season. Go figure eh... it's almost like other fans won't value Domi with his next contract like an arbitrator would

Arbitrator will be like... yeah but what about his age 20-22 years. That matters the most

im not sure how any Habs fan can make a statement like "Bergevin wont let you down" with a straight face.

It's more like "what have you done" and "I'm not going to pay you solely based on your outlier season"

Be prepared for Bergevin not to trade Domi cause he was patient with Patch, Galchenyuk, and Shaw. Bergevin is not going to sell Domi for just some 50 pts forward.

On trades? You need to rethink that one bud. All you got is Drouin for Sergachev and you need to look at all the other moves he has made. Bergevin is not the same guy he was 3 or 4 years ago. We went through the pain of him learning on the job and the past is in the past now.

Bergevin trades are not the problem. If you think so, you are uninformed. You want to argue that? Go right ahead but your credibility on knowing anything about the Habs is not going to make you look good

Tbf most of his trades are discussion-worthy, bad or good.

I want to be entertained, and MB entertains.. more in the office than on the ice though

Not sure if serious, I mean we enjoy reading the threads about the, Weber-Subban, Galchenyuk-Domi, Pacioretty-Tatar/Suzuki, if you want more laughs for check the early Norris candidate Diaz for Wiese deal, or the great Jiri Sekac trade.

after 8years of Bergevin, the Habs were 24th in the league. thats not a succesful GM that i would want leading my team

Even the Drouin for Serg deal is still up in the air.

Serg still playing on the 3rd pair, showing signs of great stuff but just signs. Was a scratched last year.

Don't change the narrative. Bergevin trades are nowhere near the problem.

True.. Still need time even though most would value Sergachev more today

 

[cslebn]

Cause I have my doubts about Gaudreau putting up 80-100 pts on our mix of smurfs and horrible PP. He might be a 60 pts player and 25 goal guy with the Habs and I hate the 2 years in term left where he can potentially pull a Trouba on us.

I'd trade for Gaudreau but Domi and the 16th OA only. However, it still has the chance to back fire cause Domi might put up really good production numbers with the Flames

I meant why JG belongs in the jackets.

Drouin was not that bad as a winger for Suzuki.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Cause they have a physical team and more closer to contention vs the Habs. They can shelter Gaudreau's lack of size better than the Habs. Gaudreau playing on a team full of smurfs could be a disaster.

Suzuki and KK have shown potential but they are not ready to shelter their wingers flaws IMO

not trying to change the narrative. i stand by this statement. Bergevin is a bad GM. sure hes mades some good deals, but at the end of the day he was gifted a pretty talented lineup and has simply moved the deck chairs. he inherited the best goalie in the NHL and has done next to nothing in those 8 years.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Drouin was not that bad as a winger for Suzuki.

Same issues as Domi... they have been bounced around all over the line-up and people wonder why these 2nd tier offensive talent are struggling. Drouin was placed with Suzuki in a stable situation and he did much better. Go figure eh.

Danault getting Tatar and Gallagher while the others were bounced all over the place. People ignoring this context and it's weird

 

[FedorTyutin]

We're gonna need a Danault mega trade sooner than later as well.

Bergevin is not a bad GM today. You are living in the past like it's 2017. Bergevin started out well but struggled in the mid span of his 8 years. He has not been bad at all in the last few seasons. I don't think you understand, have the right information, or willing to look into it deeper. Kind of like your evaluation on Domi to be honest

LMAO thats who you know you got them, when they change their narrative.

 

[TT1]

Danault won't get traded, he's too good defensively. Our top 3 C's are Suzuki/KK/Danault, trading Domi is a no brainer move.

 

[Habs Halifax]

We're gonna need a Danault mega trade sooner than later as well.

If he thinks he is a $6M - $7M center, trade him too. We put him with our most mature wingers for two seasons in a row. He's a solid middle 6C but more like Eller or Nelson type.

Habs won't tolerate selfishness. Produce in the role the coach puts you in

how is ending up 24th this year viewed as not being bad. if that team doesnt have Price they are bottom 5 in the league. trust me i dont mind the Habs wasting another year of Price to keep following Purple Pants vision of eventually being a contender. i take that back, i dont think he has a vision
