Who knows. But to convince him to come to Montreal, I think it takes 5-6 years at $6m. Just my guess.
Oilers should be contacted. I still really think RNH would be a fantastic option down the middle for us assuming we can't land any of the UFA
Then they will have too many bloated contracts on defence with Weber, Petry, Alzner and DeHaan. And only two of those have any kind of talent and only one is an excellent skater. It’s short-sighted IMO.
Ewww no, can we stop with the RNH crap ? Rather high picks and blue chippers for patches. Rnh is not the answer for this team we can do betterPacioretty + Schlemko for RNH + Klefbom
A. Shaw for V. Rask
Sign JVR (5yrs @ 5.5M)
Galchenyuk - RNH - Drouin
JVR - Rask - Gallagher
Hudon - Danault - Lehkonen
Deslauriers - DLR - Byron
Scherbak
Klefbom - Weber
Mete - Petry
Alzner - Juulsen
Rielly - Benn

I BET this team keeps maxy/chucky and adds a centre...
Statsny or Bozak totally screams this by MB soooo much .
Tavares can save this franchise
#1 Tavares won't be signing here, sadly.Pac becomes more expandable if teams can negotiate with him in the summer no?
Jankowski is a guy i really want as he seems like a very good 2C in the making
Getting Valimaki too would be the top cherry
If we sign Tavares we get our 1st c?
Then you sign Kovalchuk to replace Max
Hey you never know, money talks. If Tavares is offered the max contract by the Habs on July 1st, I'm sure he'd consider it. With Molson publically mentioning Tavares' name, it's not so farfetched should he hit the free agent market.#1 Tavares won't be signing here, sadly.
#2 The chances Bergevin will land another Russian are somewhere between 0 and less than 0 percent. You don't think they notice how he traded and dumped them all off? Or how he F-ed with Markov and Radulov? Final offer non sense... calling out Markov in the media that he doesn't speak much and it's his fault?
CMON MAN!!!
Tavares will go to San jose or St louis. San jose has more cap room then us and a better team.

If the Habs had a solid core, we wouldnt be talking about the draft lottery and al...The eternal optimist in me doesn’t get why so many people say there’s no chance JT signs here. In fact, outside of the Isles, I’d give us the best odds of anyone out there including St. Louis.
We have an all world goalie and defenceman who he knows well and has played with before. We have a top NHL sniper in Patches or a bunch of young assets he’ll be traded for. We have Chucky and Drouin who are incredibly talented and can easily be 30+ goal scorers in his wing. We have up and coming players like Poehling, Juulsen, Scherbak and who ever we draft in the draft this year. We have all the cap in the world to sign him and other players needed to get to the next level, a committed owner who’ll do what he needs to win. We have a hockey market and world class fan base that top tier players like Tavares crave to get the respect they deserve on the national spot light and tons of potential endorsement deals. As for the taxes, that gets compensated in FX with the CAD being around 25% less than USD which more than compensates for the tax differential of nearly any state.
So please explain what a team with a solid core, deep pockets and in the most storied franchise in league history has absolutely no chance of signing a player like Tavares where he’ll be a demigod in the city? Makes all the sense in the world to me for him to come here.
