Fever dream:

Bergevin talks Blake into the following:

to LA: Brendan Gallagher
to Wpg: Villardi, Iaffallo, 1st
to Mtl: PLD

When asked why LA didn't get more in the deal, Bergevin - though tears - says that "when someone offers you Brendan Gallagher, you don't ask for more".

it would make more sense that LA target a G then a C.... It would also explain why they cant speak to PLD camp
Don't know how much power MB got there but if he has a say even a small one don't expect their moves to make sense. Will look good on paper but that's about it.

it was fun anticipation and banter but when it became clear he wasn't coming here, it was time to let go. lol.
now this just feels like a toothache
It's been clear for while. If he wanted to be a Hab, he'd be one by now. I wish LA the best with a $9 million # 2 center that will cost them their first born. Thankfully Bergevin is no longer running the show in Montreal.

Well, I'm glad he "circled back",
But just don't blow the wad lol..
Couldn't give a shit about Salary at this point, it's all about the pieces for me

We had Jagr , until we didn't
We had Hossa ,until we didn't
We had Sundin, until we didn't
We almost had Brendan Shanahan
We almost had Lucic ....would have regret it
When got Drouin(payed the price) , many wish we didn't
We almost had Leon Draisaitl,but got a little too greedy.

A 9 million Peirre Luc Dubois this year OR take a run at
Leon Draisaitl in 24/25....?

I was kinda hoping this thread would hit 10,000 posts before the trade with LA happened but I didn't think we could get there but with this news that the Habs might be back in we just might get there yet.
Helping you out with an opportune bump. I’m sorry I have too much time; day off and can’t breath the air outside.

The problem is reportedly the ajets don't want Futures. Now if I was PLD I'd give the Jets a hard time about that in terms of going to other teams.

I told you my preference, give you other options, you almost immediately rule out my first choice unless they give you something you know they won't trade? To me that's also bad faith on the jets part.

Vastly overpaid No 2 center with history of asking for trades when things don't go his way or you throw the wad at Draisaitl? Easy decision

PLD is not worth $9M imo. Dr. Drai is going to be wanting a max contract or very close to it but as we've seen, he's worth every penny. What worries me is in that season he'll be 29 and will be wanting a 7 year deal. Not sure I could justify doing it at that price. Would love to have him on our team though.

Tell him to take a paycut if he likes MTL so much
So many fans simply refuse to understand that each player must perform "above their salary value" in order to stand a chance at a cup run.

Never confuse the real message: if a player truly wanted to "win" with a team (any team) they would not take top dollar. In PLD case, if he wants $9+M this only hurts the team he apparently loves so much. Winning a cup and greed do not mix, ever.
If Toronto extends Matthews to $14m/yr x 8, this will kill any chance they have... full stop. It infuriates the room, alienates linemates, and creates a two tiered system. DOA.

Hugo knows this.. infact, i believe Hugo is building a team of mid level stars all buying in at anything less than $8M. Combo of CC +Suzuki is beating Matthews straight up every time.
