Lots of talks about Taylor Hall who’s on the trading block. The @canadiens are not in the mix I’m told, so don’t bet on that possibility. Question is now where he will land and can it be done before the Hollidays trade freeze on December 19 ?

Wouldn’t touch him with a 10 foot pole . It’s exactly the trade we can’t make .

An injury prone vet looking to cash in on a middle of the pack team heading into his 30’s .

How do we protect ourselves from exposing Primeau in the expansion draft ?

 

[hairnova]

Don't think he's eligible, he'll have only played two pro seasons.

 

[worm]

even if they have to protect him you just expose Price

 

[CH1]

Can you expose players with no movement clauses. Asking for myself.

 

[hairnova]

Can you expose players with no movement clauses. Asking for myself.

Only if the player waives the clause.

riiiiiiight

though price might for seattle

 

[Habsy]

Too bad we don’t need a RD

 

[Sal_Butera]

Players on ELT (even if expiring) at expansion draft are not eligible for exposure to Seattle.

Habs have set themselves up really good - Danault, Gallagher, Petry can’t be exposed as their deals are all expiring, and at least the first two will likely have wink-wink deals in place they’ll only sign post expansion draft day (prior to July 1, 2021).

 

[Rolex]

Only if the player waives the clause.

Like M-A Fleury did

 

[Sal_Butera]

Need someone to explain this equation to me:

Habs want to get bigger = Pageau

 

[Habsy]

Maybe he meant bigger than Byron? Mete?

Flashbacks of 2012 with The Charlatan.

"We need to get bigger & tougher to play against."

(Proceeds to draft either big slugs or small skilled players that summer)

Makes sense!

 

[GGpX]

WIth Hall being held out for a trade, Colorado's the team that everyone seems to be speculating about, but I can't help but wonder if the New Yawk Islanders would be interested in him.

 

[GEEMAN]

I get the feeling Zona is involved as well

 

[lecoqsportif]

One of the talking heads in media suggests it’s Calgary. We’ll see.

 

[Habsy]

Isn't Hall from Calgary?
