Who is Frank?

Just curious, what did you think was going to happen? Drouin is terrible, Dadonov started playing well 2 weeks ago and got traded, Monahan and Edmundson are injured.... I mean did you think Anderson would be moved just because it's the trade deadline? He is still a big part of the team going forward


I expect a 7th round pick from now to tomorrow

The hope would be to get rid of dead weight to desperate teams who bye into the overhype MTL media generates about a player. Basically what everyone said at the start of the season "just wait until the tdl and Drouin will be gone", etc etc.

If now's not a good time to dump these guys, then when is? Hopefully the Dadonov move isn't just a lateral move, but likely it will be.

I'll reserve actual outrage for Friday evening though.

This would be such a canucks move

I don't think there are many Habs fans at this point who give a shit if he plays or not.

Hopefully he can make it through the entire game but I won't get my hopes up too high here.

Hughes pulls out a gun and forces a team to take on Gallagher and Price for a 1st round pick. Now that would be creative.

For Drouin, it looks like the best time to dump him will be after the season is done. Thank goodness that contract is finally nearing its end.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Didn’t someone say he was being held out for trade related reasons?

Step 1: Eddy plays.
Step 2: he’s traded to TB tomorrow for Isaac
A few other steps
Step 5: world domination

Some needs to do some digging and find out what scouts will be at the Habs Kings game tonight

I see it as being the total opposite of this since many Hab fans want to see him back because they want to trade him.

"You'll hear from your daughter when the transaction is complete."

I think someone here joked that he WAS playing for trade related reasons.

 

[McGees]

Yes that is only reason they moved him - respect.

They're not that good, and know it. They need to get better at center. This is a center's draft through top 15. Currently, they're picking #10, and at least in the lottery for top 2 spots.

They'll get 2 more high end pieces for their build with their own & NYI's pick.

Before the lottery, it looks more like MON might pick 8th or 9th and FLA's pick might fall more to 14th or 15th.

With an 8th. and a 14th or a 9th and a 15th, this allegedly killer draft somehow seems much less wonderful for the Habs than say, picking 6th and 10th before the lottery.

Center deep, sure, but I'm not sure the impact will be as large for Cs picked between 8th and 15th than for those picked in the top-5, let's say.

At this point, as much as everyone gets wet at the idea of drawing talent that, more often than not, leaves you on your appetite when the prospects are finally developed, if we're picking 8-9 and 14-15, it might be more profitable for the Habs to trade these picks for talented, near NHL-ready prospects that we have a better bead on when it comes to their ability to reach their projected ceilings.

It might be better asset management to let someone else dream towards the future than exercise our draft picks.

Surely, based on the hype for this draft, MON can get good quality back from a team that has an overabundance at one position, or an untenable position with ne of their players at a position we covet.

A legitimate, young, talented RHD who could eventually complement Hutson really well, say, and PLD as a legitimate power center with an impact at the NHL level might worth those two picks if they end up 8-9 and 14-15.

Less or no guess work and staggering the talent on the demographics of the young core, but still staying within a reasonable range of Suzuki who is 23 years old.

Allen's agent was on a big show "Tous le Monde en Parle" on TV and he basically said when Allen re-signed, Hughes made promises to him that he would be there for a while talking about "helping the kids" and stuff like that. So that may be a reason why he won't be moved.

Personally I would be fine with Montanbeault and a promising young goalie sharing the load. We don't need Allen.
