With all this talk about Swedes, Van Swedish GM was very direct with media about Petersson having to grow up, he’s getting a lot of heat in that market - makes one wonder if he’ll be made available

 

[GrandWazoo]

Any interest in JT Miller if made available? He's a bit older for our core group but I'd think hard about it.

Yes but as always depends on ask, he’s 31 w 5yrs left @ $8M

Gorton traded Miller to TBay so he knows him well

I did the research a year so ago, either after the 2022 or 2023 draft, but pop quiz: Who's the second best Swede to play for the Habs? Everyone knows the best is Naslund, but after that? An absolutely dreadful lineup.

Could be Peter Popovic and his 303 games with us. It might be Niklas Sundstrom and his 154 games & 49 points before finishing his career in Sweden. After that, though, there's nobody else of note.

And in that research did a reason arise? Pretty peculiar.

If they eat 3m a year maybe

 

[Krustchev]

No interest in EP, maybe a bit in Miller but he’s 31.

They won’t. Cap hit a reasonable 8M coming off a 100+ points season

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

I don't think we had any impactful Swedish players besides Naslund (one season of Dahlin doesn't count).

It wasn't even a full season. Darling turned into a ghost at around the 40 game mark and never reappeared.

And in that research did a reason arise? Pretty peculiar.

We barely drafted any in the top 3 rounds or traded for them. Not sure why though.

god no, Hughes should be fired on the spot if he trades for that puss

Or Dach on the wing and Evans as 3C.

Unlikely in 4 years Evans is top 3 centre considering he is not really now.

Have to take Gally back

Could be a buy low moment, that’s even IF Van has any real intention in trading Pettersson.

then we are stuck with his contract

Have you ever noticed him in a big/important game? Me neither. Not interested in him in any way.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Have to take Gally back

Why would they do that? Although if we eat half they might consider it, being a local boy and all

Nobody cares about the “local boy” angle.

Not taking JT without some trash money going back

Mute point he wont be a Hab

JT Miller is a premium player, not a dump. We’re in no position to make demands like that
