GDT | Game 87 | at Washington | Wednesday, April 30th | 7:00 PM EDT. Go For Broke!

[GEEMAN]

They will look at UFAs on short deals...and look at carrier type trades.

Last chance to get game breaking talent. Gotta take it.

The short deals is the key

 

[Habsy]

Ekblad is too injury prone unless it’s 4 years and that isn’t happening

I would make a pitch for Byrum and the underrated Perbix

You always have a reason to not do something just so you can bitch that nothing was done. Ekblad is what this team needs.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Also, most of you guys make it seem like we lost to some mediocre team. Caps were #1 seed for a reason. Big team. Balanced lineup. Thompson is solid.

They arent mediocre but of the top seeds they were the most beatable.

Very unlikely at 16 and 17 this year.

But there are potentially some good prospects for middle 6 and 3-4 D in that range, so I would make one pick to add some depth to the prospect pool.

Yes but not at 7 fucken years , guaranteed to be an albatross

Need a better way , can’t get back to the Nero ways

Habs are not real contenders to start making these kinds of moves .

I'd like two shots at a caufield, Johnson, Hage, etc

You can still trade them as prospects. No rush to trade them this offseason.

 

[Habsy]

A pick is more valuable than a prospect. The guy you pick may not be on a team's list.

Long term deals are for top flight home grown talent.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Can't see them trading the picks because they snuck into the playoffs.

Nick will turn 26 this summer. He's the "ticking clock", so to speak. We need to push for a Cup sooner rather than later and we need a legitimate 2C now, not 5 years from now.

A legit 2C doesn't make us a cup contender.

Suzuki will be fine in 3 years.

We don't need a Pleks, price, Gallagher, max pac level core. We need much better.

If his clock is ticking, 97's battery must be near death

Bingo or the right younger player you might acquire

McDavid is a unicorn like Crosby. Barring injury he will be elite for a long time. But Suzuki is not McDavid. He is, by comparison, a mere mortal and he's nowhere near as big physically.

Suzuki has not missed a game in 4 seasons.. he gets better every year, in the big games/playoffs he gets double shifted, get him a good 2nd line center that teams have to also focus on and his ceiling is 90 plus points..

0 cups each....

He will get better every year, until he doesn't. The Habs need to make hay with him now, not wait for him to be in his 30's before they can contend for a Cup. If your team's best player is closing in on 26 your window is open.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Our best player is 21

 

[GEEMAN]

0 cups each....

Very weak response

Not at all (but I'm flattered you used my line) because Wehave judges players he hates solely by championships won

Cup are won by complete teams not 2 players.
Those 2 freaks in Edmonton can only do so much. The cups is a BS weak move.
