Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I kinda feel like Montreal could have been looking at burrows. Salary retained obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaNuCkSLoUiE23 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 They need offense, so probably looking at Vrbata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes swapping players gives both teams a boost. Look at the Johansen-Jones trade too, both are flourishing and contributing far more than the other player was before. I completely agree.... But who in Nashville? I know I'm going to get flamed for it but Hansen is worth his weight in gold right now and he fits Montreal's system better than Vrbata. I could see one or both going there.

Down by the River Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 You can definitely tell the Canucks knew MTL scouts were in the building. Here's Alex Edler, standing in the middle of the ice, waving to Marc Bergevin: "Hi Marc, this wave is symbolic of my willingness to waive my NTC since I clearly don't give a damn anymore". Or maybe, "what's it like up in the press boxes, I keep trying to go there but WD won't let me". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any number of players - Mike Ribeiro, Craig Smith, Mike Fisher could all do with a change in scenery, while on the Habs, David Desharnais, Tomas Fleischmann, Lars Eller and Devante Smith-Pelly could all be part of it. Potentially a deal around Lars Eller - Craig Smith? Ribeiro's issues would likely rule him out, and Fisher wouldn't leave Nashville due to his family. Smith could reel in a good deal from the Habs, who continue to under-utilize Eller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 This phase gets a bit annoying to the vets when Hansen of all people starts beaking off. Line changes like that late in the game? Yup, that's a lack of try. But it's not all on Edler, who went to the bench in a freakin' hurry. Vrbata's dump was lazy. Horvat and Bartschi picked up nobody. In fact Edler had to challenge a point shot because Bartschi sure wasn't going to, and that's what led to Edler's broken stick (How many broken sticks does Edler create per game, btw?) And Edler's partner, Tanev, also vacated the area. Anyway, Hansen's not the problem this season for sure. If he's on the table, there will be interest.

qwijibo Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 With no clear timetable on Price's return and with Montreal now 3 points out of a playoff spot (with other teams having games in hand) Maybe Montreal is starting to consider selling rather than buying. They just dropped 2 games in a row to Columbus. I can't imagine they're gearing up for a long playoff run. And yes, they could just as easily be scouting Nashville. To say they're definitely interested in a canuck is a stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's hilarious is that after toiling away in the bottom six his entire career, Hansen is now the de facto third Sedin - it would be crazy to leave right now.

Where did he call out the coach? What the hell does the coach have to do with a lazy and incompetent change?. What do you want him to do, stand on the bench and beat them back onto the ice with a stick? Edler should have been covered immediately by someone already there on the ice. What happened made it look like the other 4 didn't even know that Edler lost his stick, or what the Preds were doing. How is that even possible? Even the dump was beyond belief.
