That doesn't seem very smart. He's been our best goal scorer and is still young., Trading him for picks is essentially saying we want to keep rebuilding for another 5 years

Just spitballing. Going to take talent to get it, we need so much help down the middle and the backend... there's only so many moves you can make
VAN is my second team : I don't think he is on the market because he was just signed to a huge extension and he is to be one of the two faces of the franchise with Hughes long term. However I believe management and fans may be increasingly frustrated with him given his bad start to the season, he seems out of shape and to be frank does not play with a lot of intensity.
It would never happen but that's kind of player the Habs need on defense.
Someone to stabilize the pairs and allow everyone to play in their proper role.
Adding one middle six forward and one RD would do a lot for this team without breaking the bank. Tanking is fine but you need to stay in games and be competitive or else you end up like the pre McDavid Oilers.
Get the team stabilized defensively and they can definitely score enough to bank OT points and get Ws. The PP is actually scoring (22%) and the PK is good. Just reducing the ES goals against would really change our record going forward. I think given the fact there's options at forward in Laval, I'd trade for a good vet RD who will be able to play with Hutson and create a top4 with Matheson-Guhle as the other pair.

Completely agree. Habs need a shut down D who can clear a net and stop a cycle. The big three of Weber, Eddy, Petry took them to the finals. Need more of that on the back end.
Adding quality middle/bottom six will also help greatly. Too many passengers with Dvo, Armia and Anderson not doing the job. Good news is lots of contracts are coming up and more cap space opening up. Not to mention the plethora of picks and prospects they have. No doubt Hughes will keep working to fill the gaps with quality players and youth to keep building the team to a legit contender for years to come. Just need patience.

Lebrun came up with another, more wordy version of his usual “working the phones” BS.

Why don't the Habs just sign Clutterbuck ?
One year, won't hinder development.
If he plays well might be able to get a 3rd for him, but that's a stretch.

Carlo, Parayko... Yep. Exactly what we need.

We've been thinking it for a month now, maybe Clutterbuck isn't interested in the Montreal circus.

too big, known to bodycheck, team is looking for small players with zero intensity

That's so random. You'd think if he's looking he'd take anything at this point.
Habs acquire...

We need a big RHD with experience, that much is clear.
There's a name that was mentioned before the season started that might be available (not related with the Habs)
No solution is perfect and there's a price for everything....Seth Jones ?

Could be rather expensive in players and $$$.
SJ is starting already to make moves. Jan Rutta could be a temporary solution for our right side.
Nope...
If you trade Caufield it would have to be for a roster ready top line player who brings a number of different qualities every night.
Starting with size skating guts reliability and halfway decent scoring.
Well we'd end up having to admit how bad we really are when he ends up on our second line.

Probably be claimed. Both on expiring contracts. I doubt Hughes puts them on waivers though. Laval playing well. Important develop winning atmosphere in Laval. They buy time for our prospects to develop properly.
At least we would be aiming high. Don't want a nother 5/6 D. Plus Matheson would help them now. If not Nemec, then someone comparable.
