thanks to all for Holden feedback
no thanks for the Holden offer.
acknowledged
Value is probably fair and I do think Holden is a bit underrated but we have so many 5/6/7 D types
Right now that I don't think I would give up anything for another.
Appreciate your 2 cents on value.
Nice to know even if it is still not a fit, it was fair value.
I don't always agree on coke for pepsi
but when that is the intent, nice to know we are at least in ballpark
not trading big Mac for a 3rd paring dman. habs believe he can become a no.3 C with giant size who can score 15-20. habs have lacked size at C for ages they aren't trading him . he'll get legitimate shot under julien
Concur he is presently a 4th w/3rd line upside potential
goal scoring projection seems reasonably optimistic
On principle of fairness to all, hope he does get a legit shot, which all who do not disqualify themselves deserve.
Having said that, it should not be discounted that, while not all that and a bag of chips, Holden has decent + size and speed, already is ballpark of 15 goals as a backliner, not an F; and can provide temp fill in relief on 2nd pair
Holden will be gone by then, but keep us please updated on how Mc does w/Julien. I think it will work out, but if not, we may be interested.
Holden is not the guy we want in our top 4. Habs give you a conditional fourth round pick (if he doesn't get waived and claimed) but honestly not a lot of interest in him.
conditional doesn't cut it.
he will get solid 3rd or low 2nd, or Rangers will add and get a better 2nd
supply and demand, he will find a home
book it
