I wish we would have gotten Jim Nill..
He got Spezza, Seguin, Ludvig Eriksson, Stephen Johns, Rich Peverley, Ryan Button and Sharp for...
Trevor Daley
Ryan Garbutt
Alex Chiasson
Alex Guptill
Nicholas Paul
2nd round pick
Loui Eriksson
Rielly Smith
Matt Fraser
Joseph Morrow.
That's ridiculous.

I didn't want Sharp.. but that was brutal.
DSP and Emelin for Sharp and Johns. Honestly, lol.
But Jim Nill doesn't, you know, do that one thing that's so crucial. So we got Mr. Banana Republic.

Okay, I'm not a Bergevin basher but how did we not top off this offer. Daley is decent but still. I didn't trash him on missing out on Oshie but man we should have gotten Sharp if the price was that cheap.
Didn't see DAL getting Sharp tho.

And same cap hit or less.
@CraigCustance: According to @war_on_ice, Daley & Garbutt combine for cap hit of $5.1 million. Not a ton of savings there for CHI. Sharp AAV $5.9 million.

We could have offered more and we could have saved the more cap. Pretty disappointing to be honest

Memo to Bergevin. If Jim Nill calls you, don't pick up!
He'd likely end up with Price and PK for Dallas spare parts and depth players.

He doesn't exhibit the number one quality we look for in a GM.. so he was eliminated from our hiring pool.

Still got a bad defense core and a more than average goalie though.
I would personally not take Jordie Benn in our top 8 even if Jamie would come with it.

I always liked Nill. Stand up guy that gets things done. He is humble to boot and a really good guy.
He runs a few hockey camps for Hockey Ministries International. I wish he was our GM.
Frankly I am getting tired of always having grinder on our team.

That's not true at all. We interviewed him and his wife died so he said he wasn't able to work.

My bad then.. I knew he interviewed but I figured he wouldn't be hired for the same reason why any other candidate with his 'credentials' wouldn't be hired.

The Jamie Benn part was a joke to emphasis how great i think Jordie benn is.

But does that make him a serious contender for the job just because he was on thier list?
I don't know if Sam pollock was bilingual but since I started following the habs (since serge savard) all the gms have one trait in common, which nill does not have.
As for the trade, I think sharp's name is worth more than what he can give at this point, but he still would have helped the Habs. Daley is a decent player and I can't find a comparable from the Habs. Beaulieu might be that guy as he develops, but our expendable guys are not of the Daley mould.
