Speculation launched by Lavoie because the injury seems to be on the knee he got surgery for, and also because no news, bad news.

Yep, also because a lot of NHLers got their careers thrown in jeopardy by repeated knee injuries right?

It's time to make a pitch to Connor McDavid
Maybe he was wearing a Habs pyjama when he was a kid?

I'd be down with Connor, league maximum for 8 years means we have to trade for him before though.

Ya never know. Connor is interested in his legacy first and foremost and that means winning cups. If he wants to get out of dodge, wants the money, but also a chance at a cup, or cups, Montreal could be an intriguing choice. People in Ontario would never forgive him, though.

If he's leaving Edmonton, he might. His agent would already have a sense as to how much he would get from all 30 other teams, so if the most he could.
But about as likely of McDavid thinking about leaving the Oilers right now.
I don’t think it’s just about money for McDavid. It’s about Cups and his legacy. Looking at teams who could fit him, the Habs have a need for a top 6 center and the means to acquire him. And they’re ready to roll with a young, deep roster. Don’t think for a second that players don’t notice what’s going on in Montreal and there’s nothing like winning in Montreal.

Suzuki signed when the cap was lower.
Wasn’t Duchene one of the main guys caught in the Uber dissing his coaches and such? Not too sure he is a KH type of culture guy. If all it was that he sometimes mails it in, I think that if management thought he would fit in to the room the rest of the team could have impact on him, but that Uber ride, plus being a lousy tipper may be the sort of story going around about him.

His current contract also finishes along with CBA, so I assume he waits till the end to understand his opportunities. He might also end like Marian Hossa, once he lost that second consecutive finals, he and his agent prepared a booklet of top 5 teams where they basically analyzed them by salary structure, team strenght, prospect pool... and decided to sign with Chicago winning 3 cups there.
If McDavid takes the same approach, we have to be on top of the list, right?

It's too bad Lou doesn't rebuild.. Horvat and Sorokin from the Islanders would be exactly what the doctor ordered.

Yep. Would definitely love Horvat with the Habs. Maybe 1 or 2 years too old but otherwise, perfect fit.

We can deal with that, he's the perfect center archetype for Demidov to come play with.

I agree.
He still has 6 years on his contract. We would hope he can give us 4-5 years of quality 2C hockey than finishing his contract on the 3rd line for the last year or 2. Hoping Hage can take the pole on the 2nd line.

McDavid contract ends at the same time the 10.5 million contract of Carey price is off the books....we can find another 4-5 million somewhere.....
I'd argue only you would hang on to that story about a young kid needing to mature and assume he has been stuck in time ever since.

Would be more than okay if we target Horvat.

Need Lou to retire and the new guy come in and start the rebuild.
