You and me.I want Hague so badly. Having him and Weber on the point would be lovely.
I truly think hes much better than Poehling. Right now players are focusing on weber's shot which gives Kulak so many chances. Hague will convert on those chances.You and me.
Ive been high on the Hague kid for a while. Hes going to be so great.
Well, at the draft it was a tougher call. But yes, Hague, and Timmins, shouldve went top twenty, imo.I truly think hes much better than Poehling. Right now players are focusing on weber's shot which gives Kulak so many chances. Hague will convert on those chances.
It's just so frustrating to see a guys like Hague and Alexeyev slip by us. Could we really not have made some kind of trade to get Hague? Do we really need Paul Byron when we could have traded him for an Alexeyev? Even if not Byron, how about our 4 2nds? None of our 2nd rounders are impressing me enough right now. Of course that can change in the future so it's not set to stone that none of these guys will be good players in the NHL. I really want to see Bergevin making these kinds of moves.Well, at the draft it was a tougher call. But yes, Hague, and Timmins, shouldve went top twenty, imo.
Ill be honest, for all the love that I have for AlexAlex, Im not sure I wouldve moved any of our picks for him. I was absolutely, and still am, thrilled with the draft.It's just so frustrating to see a guys like Hague and Alexeyev slip by us. Could we really not have made some kind of trade to get Hague?

How would a team like Les Canadiens pry this player away from the Vegas Golden Knights? What assets would be required?You and me.

Coyle has the speed to play with Drouin and Domi !
problem is, smurfs play in the top 6 (Tatar, Gallagher, Drouin, Domi)...And he has the size to draw attention down low and keep the puck!
1) Middle of the pack team: Keep the team as is. We lack strength but we will try to beat you with speed and fail in the end cause other top teams have speed and size.
2) Middle of the pack team that adds key pieces to complement the core: Unload some smurfs and replace them with guys like Coyle.
I pick #2
6’3 RHC....I’ll roll the dice on that any day.And he has the size to draw attention down low and keep the puck!

But what will it cost??
No way.

sure, but you can't replace top 6 players with middle 6 players just cause they're bigIf we can add a power winger or two in our top 6, it helps complement the smurfs.

Figured most won't. Not sure I would either. Tatar provides more offense and has one more year in term left vs Coyle.
What about Tatar and Mete for Coyle and Brodin?

What about Tatar and Mete for Coyle and Brodin? If the Wild are interested this type of package, I'd consider adding a 3rd if they feel it's not enough on our end. Best I could do at that point though. Lets look at how Coyle and Brodin fit
Drouin / Domi / Coyle
Lehkonen / Kotkaniemi / Gallagher
Byron / Danault / Armia or Shaw
Kulak / Weber
Brodin / Petry
I'd consider that. But Tatar has an extra year of control on Coyle and Mete 3 extra years on Brodin, who is not cheap for a 20-25 point defenceman.
Would have to do more intel on Brodin.
If I have this deal on the table I accepted it right now
I think the Habs would be a better overall team after the trade. I know Brodin a bit but not going to pretend I know his game like we do with our own Habs players. My guess is Brodin is similar to what we had with Petry when we acquired him.
Bergevin finally had a good offseason. Stick to the plan. Don’t give up anything to fix this current core. It’s a waste.
If you have to ask you can't afford him , but in all seriousness he would be way to expensive for the Habs to acquire at this time.How would a team like Les Canadiens pry this player away from the Vegas Golden Knights? What assets would be required?
