"hey kid, you won the Cup as a rookie, averaging over 18 mins per game"

"ya but I could do more elsewhere"

the antithesis of a team player

People saying “no” to Hellebuyck without knowing the price are off their rocker.

 

[Stinky]

He chokes. Fuck him.

Unless they are giving up assets it's a no for me

I'm sure his playoff choking would not increase with real pressure in Montreal....

Don’t need him messing up our clean, crisp balance sheet

The price will be very steep and our goaltending is fine so giving up finite assets for a maybe a slight upgrade in goal is likely not a great idea. We didn't lose to Carolina because of goaltending.

There’s no doubt adding a legit 2C is better value.

I was reacting to responses on X claiming there was no scenario whatsoever that would make sense for a Hellebuyck trade. “Very steep” is a no go.

Maybe they'll "throw in" Scheifele.

As soon as a player is said to be on the market, or has yet to sign a contract, that’s an automatic « linked to the Habs » rumour

That’s the first thing they teach you in social media school

 

[AH$$$]

His upcoming contract doesn’t fit.

Keep the room McDavid.

Neither does Kucherov’s age…it’s unlike HuGo’s MO

I definitely could see HuGo be willing to pay for 87 at trade deadline though…

Could we get him somehow?

 

[lecoqsportif]

CLB would be full potato stupid if they lose Fantilli.

So, yeah, maybe possible?
