i don't know, but by the way you two both go at each other i would think it goes both ways..
not me, Im straight, not sure about Wehave though, only met him maybe 12 times in my life and mostly at hockey games,,,
btw, there is another Canadiens' fan in Penticton who posts a ton on X/bluesky

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
Not sure? You literally represented me in my separation and subsequent divorce. I wasn't married to a dude.
Unless we start losing again, I'm not interested in making any moves that don't clearly improve our starting lineup right now.
it must be true, you are the 10th poster to make that observation

Minny didn't give up much
A second in 2027 plus the other non first picks may yield zilch and the first will be a low pick
Not a bad gamble if Minny turns him around with a change of scenery
It's likely much less than it appears to be. As you know, the odds of any draft pick lower than a high/mid 2nd rounder playing a lot of NHL games are very low. Obviously it can happen but Minny likes the odds and they also have a stacked prospect pipeline . . . as do we. I'd give that up for Nemec easily but NJ will want players who can play for them now.

For reference, we gave up a 1st & 2nd for Newhook and he was an established NHLer. At the dates they were traded, Newhook was 22 years old & 5 months, Jiricek 21 years old.
It's just, both Jiricek & Nemec can't seem to crack the NHL when, in theory, they should in the process of establishing themselves. Jiricek got traded to a much better team, and he's still not getting minutes in the NHL.
I'm not opposed to trading any of those assets for young players, but I'm not giving those up to players who can't seem to make the league due to their own play.

That's what I find strange about the Jiricek trade... Like why trade that much for him and then not even give him a shot yet?

Like the time when Czerkawski showed up to the Habs dressing room for the first time and Therrien blew him off like he was a nobody.

Not playing around anymore.
It’s not that much.

It’s quite a lot for an AHL player.
But he’s really not. He’s just playing in the AHL presently. RHP is an AHL player. I think Nemec ends up in Vancouver as part of a deal for JT Miller. I can see Nemec and Mercer for JT making sense for both teams.

Nice deal for both , Miller gives the Devils a huge playoff add
