GDT: Habs on Tradecentre Part 7 (Who do you want at the deadline/in free agency?) ‎

[HatTricK09]

I still remember a few years ago people were proposing we trade Price for Luongo straight up...

 

[Mrb1p]

Louis Leblanc is older and struggling this year. Larsson would hold more value, probably.

No no, he would. But is he a better player ? I doubt it.

 

[Hemlor]

Dorsett will be back for playoffs.

I don't want to face them in round 1. Clowe, Brassard, Dorsett and Staal will be back.

Of those guys, who will be getting the goals?

 

[Tabarouette]

One of our best players was concussed by an Orr punch, and an another was almost crippled by Chara. Our response = 0. Thankfully, we have 911 operators we can whine to.

oh I see, you're that guy.

 

[le_sean]

Always need a good portion of Habs fans to cry about not making moves.

The team was 15th last year, this year is just gravy. Relax.

 

[Banjo Cat]

Some of you guys are funny in a very pathetic way...

We're 2nd in the EC with two key players injured and MB was able to address our only obvious need by adding a depth defenseman yesterday.

I don't have much problem with standing pat. But I am glad we added an extra d-man and I would have like a depth bottom 6er with Army out, if possible. Come playoff time, if we have an injury or two we are looking pretty thin.

Yup.

What ? No trades ? Cry
What ? Trades ? Cry

Cry all the time

 

[HatTricK09]

Habs fans are never happy.

We constantly have to add/ get rid of someone to be happy

 

[MonkeyBusiness]

i guess you haven't watched the same Larsson has me. I'd even give the edge to Leblanc.

It's not a great deal, unless they get more, which I hope.

Leblanc is 2 years older and has been terrible in the AHL, he's not a good skater, doesn't have good puck skills and has nothing going for him to show that he can be a capable NHLer. At least with Larsson you know you're going to get an NHLer in the near future and has way more potential. Did you think Minny were going to give away Granlund, Coyle or Brodin? We're only talking about Jason Pominville here.

 

[Hannibal]

Luongo seems to have been traded....

If he goes to Leafs, i sweat it's gonna be ugly.

These fans require bad asset management, like throwing in Mcdonagh to acquire Gomez.

I am glad that MB and I are on the same page. He doesn't really know what he has in his group of players and prospects. This off-season he will get the gritty, tough player that he wants.

 

[StapleA]

I understand that Gaborik has a bad year, but are Brassard and Moore as good? I mean, some people make it sound like a salary dump and I wonder if it has something to do with it.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Well, the last 45 minutes have been fun.

 

[uiCk]

whether he succeeds or fails, I don't think they gave up much. they have a ton going their way, in the near future and were clearly moving into another direction. they have prospects, a young team (for the most part) and a ton of picks. they're in good shape.

Sure. But it's hefty contract to keep around; once your "contending" your cap is filled AND you need addntl cap space to add extra depth, and if Gabs type player is NOT performing optimally to its contract (7.5 mil), that team is in trouble. Short term its good, long term might be bad and handicap you. It's gamble, and people Gamble when they are desperate.
On the other side, teams that are not desperate, adding Iggy, Jagr, Clowe type depth players is not desperation, but smart moves. Pending UFA's, teams that identify themselves as real contenders, targeting players that CHOOSE to go to those destinations (MTL has no chance on landing these players this year, maybe when MTL will be considered a real contender will do these depth moves)

 

[CupInSIX]

Habs close to getting Nada Bupkiss apparently.

Oh right, since we are doing better than expected, we should just be happy. Common I'm tired of hearing that loser mentality. We are pressing upon the presidents trophy here. I'm not saying we should make big moves, but we have to start looking forward and believing in ourselves.

A lot of people just want a trade for the sake of making a trade. Our team is fine. Bourque and Diaz will add more than any other available player could have at this point.

 

[Bloumeister]

Yup.

Ding ding ding ding !!!!

Deadline over folks

 

[Banjo Cat]

I don't think most people are asking for a trade of that calibre.

 

[Lions999]

We need grit and toughness and we didn`t get it....They keep on saying Diaz and Bourque coming back soon what happens if they have setbacks then what or after that concussion Bourque got he goes back to Bourque from last year.

 

[Redux91]

Luongo pulled off the ice?....ill be pissed if he goes to toronto, i swear to god.
