Tend to agree . . . but the “dump” story seems beyond the pale.

yeah that is sociopathic

Hypothetical question:

Should Habs win lottery - would you deal hometown boy Celebrini to Van in a deal for an extended Elias Petersson?

No. Celebrini is 6 or 7 years younger and already weighs more than Petersson.

 

[CH1]

no....I like the cost certainty of Celeb for the next few years

why?

 

[Sal_Butera]

why?

Celebrini’s ceiling is not projected to be that of a generational talent - Petersson (now 25 fits the Suzuki, CC, Guhle core age bracket) has become a 90pts+ Selke candidate C.

It’s a moot point, Scott Laughlin on NHL radio said this morning EP wants to play w NYR (Zibenijhad BFF) or Red Wings

Nope , not ready to dish 12 mil on a player

gotta get this resolved by summer time even though he is an RFA

A sign and trade may net Nucks a hell of a haul

not for 12 million a year

 

[lecoqsportif]

Count me in as “no” if we fluke out and get pick #1.

Pick Celebrini and use the Jets pick and Harris/Struble in a package to get a good young middle 6 player to deepen the roster.

It won’t happen of course, but I’d still do the bit about the Jets pick.

Some team will bite and give the Nucks a great offer

I couldn't say this any louder:

Fuck. No.

Never in a thousand years.

 

[GGpX]

This team needs to be figuring out ways to get get younger & to get rid of salary, not getting older & taking more money on.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

now the chatter is take Parehk, first McNagg then Dumont etc.

We will see if "competent anglo management" listens to the unemployed on X

 

[GGpX]

I would prefer one of the forwards (Lindstrom, Demidov, Eiserman, Catton) because we're in dire need for top-6 forwards.

That said, I wouldn't be mad if we took Parehk.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Parehk would have to be significantly BPA for us to pick him over a forward, which at #5-7 I'm not sure he would.

If Lane joins the team this year and does well, I think there is almost 0 chance we take Parehk.

Parehk is probably going in the 9-12 range

I would take Dickinson before him if both are available

 

[Krustchev]

Assuming that Lindstrom and Demidov are gone when we make our pick, Eiserman all the way and hope he pans out. If we pass on him, I have visions of the 1977 draft in my head. I don’t want that.
