Post-Game Talk: Trade Deadline Day: March 7, 2025: Montreal stands pat

[LaP]

But if we do, we won’t care about those 2nd

Only way you wont care about stakcing more picks is if Demigod becomes Demigod.

 

[Vachon23]

Let’s just hope those conversations will continue this offseason. It’s gonna be the most important offseason for them

 

[zx81]

Just like Bergevin, KH is in love with his players keeping Armia Savard Dvorak, Pazzetta and will end up losing all 4 for nothing and not making the playoffs

Pezz is worth what ? Past considerations ?

 

[le_sean]

Well get used to your day off because you’ll have to play 30 mins a game for the rest of the season.

 

[Adriatic]

How someone can compare the Boston situation to Montreal situation is beyond me.

Really surprised with the general reactions in here to be honest.

Is this your first time here lolol

@Miller Time Okay, here's what he said.....word for word in french.

''Au congé des 4 nations, on était sur un down, on pensait que probablement, on ferait la même chose dans les années passées pis on aurait échanger nos joueurs, pis eux crédit à l'équipe et au coach, y'ont gagné 5 matchs de suite, y'ont reviré les choses et j'avais promis aux joueurs à Tremblant que pour la 1ère fois on avait PAS un plan établi cette saison et que leur jeu va avoir leur mot à dire de qu'est-ce qu'on fait....aujourd'hui et cette semaine on les a récompensés pour leur effort''

Word for word in french, feel free to translate on your side instead of me doing it and actually taking things out of context to fit a narrative....

Great so he admitted to have NO PLAN, which was obvious all season.

 

[StCaufield]

I think it's over and rosters are frozen... Might be wrong, maybe they can still sign Free Agents like Jordan Weal.

There was a few out on waivers today but I can’t remember who

 

[LesCactus]

I think we’re getting a bit emotional here, none of the 2C options were anything spectacular (as much as I wanted Nelson) with the price that they were worth. I would’ve loved to have sold, but I assume old man Savard and vanilla Dvorak weren’t going to fetch any 2nds. I also assume that Armia will probably get resigned in the offseason.

 

[bsl]

Maybe it's a bit much, but I'll give him until the start of next season, but I'm pretty close to calling for him to be fired.

You're going for it, or you're not.

He and the group chose to not pick and they honestly look stupid.

It's not like your team is sitting fairly well in the playoffs, but not playing well overall, so you don't want to sell because you're a playoff team, but you don't want to pay assets to get the team better because they're not playing well..

You're literally outside the playoffs and have to pass 3 teams to get that spot.

Welcome to the middle.

 

[vokiel]

Yeah but they would have cleared at 2 pm right?

 

[zx81]

Damn

 

[OnTheRun]

Man it suck so much that it's only 4PM, I can go and cry myself to sleep over the 3rd pick we didn't get for Dvo just yet.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

5-Star Quality Human Being Alert!





“Jake is a good hockey player, but he's also a very good person who is very well-liked in the room and in the organization.”

Might be simply because they want to curtail the need to re-thread Therrien to make them better persons!

 

[habsfan891]

Should have yep

 

[rahad]

The heavy accumulation phase is done imo. Now is all about building with the cards you have and hope it's enough to get you a cup. Right now, the team culture and experience is more important than 3rd and 4th round picks.

I hope we have enough. I wanted one last top 5 this year. Before we push for a playoff spot with Demidov in next year. Reinbacher performance is a good news for us. We found our #2 D to play with Hutson.

Our biggest need right now is a #2C.

 

[Guy Larose]

Now ask him if he would have liked just a little bit of help. Just a little instead of playing Beck 7 minutes a game.

Very strange he wouldn’t even acquire a bottom6 NHLer

I think he wants to tank and planned to tank and doesn’t want to deviate

We had a great culture in the Koivu years and made the playoffs with some ridiculously bad lineup. It did not help at all. Unless you are 100% sure what you have is enough you should 100% keep stockpiling. I'm not knwoledgable enough to know if what we have is enough but it will be on KH if it is not. His head is now on the block.

 

[Ezpz]

I feel like the Leafs overpaid for Carlo when their roster doesn't really stack up against Tampa, Colorado or Dallas.

 

[HabsForHire]

Habs did the right thing, ya we could have moved armia and savard but we aren't an actual playoff team. crazy how many dumbasses there are in here

 

[ReHabs]

All year we've heard he's been working on a hockey trade. Any minute now....oh wait!

He’s working the same unplugged phone Bergevin was working with

Buddy they think Knies is the next Eric Lindros, they don’t live in reality

I think we were never gonna solve our second line center now. Cause we have to have someone that's gonna be a lifer. But I at least would have loved to add one more player for a playoff run. Doesn't have to be a top guy. A O'Reilly would have been nice.

 

[sampollock]

No math gone

Looks like there’s at least one for sure
