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

[izzy75]

we are doing better than expected, we should just be happy. Common I'm tired of hearing that loser mentality

The absolute worst is... "But I heard he's a really good locker room guy"

 

[Nedved]

torresssssssssssssssssssssssssssss for a 3rd, to the sharks.

damn.

As per @Real_ESPNLeBrun, SJ acquires Raffi Torres for 3rd rounder in 2013. #tradecentre

 

[99GoHabsGo99]

3rd Round Pick For Torres i would of done that, but im happy with our team!

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Ok, so seems Luongo isn't being moved.

 

[Mrb1p]

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.

.. You're:
A) Underrating Pommer.
B) Underrating Leblanc
C) Have no clue about any prospect and you make an opinion for yourself on what people say here and in the media.

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

Wow, Lou so bad he even gets pulled in practice

 

[V13]

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.

The thing is the Habs did make two trade. They got Ryder for Cole and got Drewinske.

GMs don't always need to make their moves on the last day or the day prior the deadline. The deadline is just that : A deadline

Btw Torres so SJ for 3rd

 

[CupInSIX]

****!

Pierre LeBrun Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 6 s

Torres to San Jose for a third-round pick in 2013

Would have done that just to piss off Bruin fans.

 

[peate]

Sometimes the best trade is the one you never make. We'll be fine for this year.

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

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

To what extent will a trade be made for a player that we need and we will not overpay. MB is playing it safe and not overpaying at the deadline.

At the deadline you have to overpay, we have no need to overpay for the needs we have.

 

[Natey]

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

Not sure, but Leblanc is definitely an NHL player. Whether it's a 3rd liner or a top-6 remains to be seen. Glad we didn't trade him though. His value is at an all-time low.

 

[Shaby23]

Omg i can't follow everything

 

[Kents polished head]

well, it's now clearer than ever that Bergevin didn't intent to get anything at any point.

He might regret it if we get other injuries... I sure wouldn't have approached this deadline with the same philosophy, I'd have dangled a 2nd rounder for improvements, but oh well...

 

[HatTricK09]

Canucks pulling a late April's fools by pulling Luongo minutes before the trade deadline

 

[MTL-rules]

On peut tu avoir d'la grit câlice ??

You know what grit is ? We have plenty of grit... we might lack size and fighters... but we have a ton of grit...

 

[HuGo Sham]

what's everybody *****ing about? We got the Drew


that being said, would've liked some toughness...still have to Play Boston, philly and TO twice etc...

I actually watch the guys play and I am not a complete homer, Larsson is almost a guaranteed NHLer in the future and has first 2 lines upside. He's also 2 years younger, get back to this thread in a couple of years and see who was right.

 

[Andy]

MB is frugal. Might be a good thing in the end.

 

[Natey]

what's everybody *****ing about? We got the Drew

Davis, not Drew.

I just heard "Montreal" in the background on TSN, but it sounded like it was for the game tonight, not something else.

 

[V13]

well, it's now clearer than ever that Bergevin didn't intent to get anything at any point.

There is no roster limit for the playoffs. He can just call up Dumont , Blunden , Tinordi , Patryn ect and have them as insurance policies in case of injuries

With only 13 games after the trade deadline it doesn't make sense to add a bunch of players on the day of the trade deadline as its harder to gain chemistry in such a short period before the playoffs.

Bergevin played it smart, added an offensive player for a struggling player a month ago and then added depth for our 4th line and our defense without giving up much in the past week.
