The_Rocket Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 2 hours ago, DeNiro said: Amazing to think how poorly they've managed their roster. Aren't they almost out of cap space? And they still have Nurse and Strome to sign? I don't see how they do that without unloading Lucic or RNH. And they're definitely not improving their roster if that's the case. I guess McDavid will just have to score 200 points next season... I could see chiarelli trading RNH to mtl for pacioretty... frees up 1.5 mill in cap for this season and mtl gets a centre.

No we aren't worse atm but I do think he will become a pretty good dman and we have a going to be 26 year old forward that has never put put up more than 18 goals and 35 points.

Or shameless, unscrupulous insiders like Burkey. Usually, the struggling location has a financial and/or bldg issue. League helps 'smooth that over' at a cost. Could explain blatantly hapless transactions, like the Duch/Turris/US sweetheart teams... Top picks are filtered down south. Or recent top picks, who've done their job in already drumming up draft day interest(for said struggling market), from yrs past. Such locales will never attract key UFA's(affordably) thus are stuck as 'developing nations'. Basically, some lesser teams become a feeder-system for about 10~12 key US markets(+ perhaps Hogtown). ...Wouldn't surprise me if these lame duck GM's have numbered bank accounts in Switzerland, for lovely donations. In Mtl, Bargain-bin seems a candidate! He's got a wardrobe to keep functioning. Probably would've been better off to separate Cdn & US pro leagues... wow you really live on a different planet then me or you are drinking/inesting something pretty strong over there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree it's a trade both teams need. RNH finished the year with Mcdavid but I think patches a proven shooter would be better on that wing.

Sure but I guess Andersson has 4 years and 200 plus games to catch up. Oh and he is a dman. Good trade though we get a 26 year old 35 point top 6 forward. It's all good.

He just looks desperate and if no good offers come in he has backed himself into a corner. Not sure what the French word is for tool. But Bergeven = Le Tool. Just to make sure Subban hears it.

They should of signed Cam Ward as insurance because if Talbot fails GM's around the league have Chiarelli by the "lower body". They signed Brodziak and Rieder. And the Canucks are the ones getting criticized by the Toronto Sports Network. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I'd be talking to Edmonton... Hey, want our broken d-man, over-'Price'd goaltender and scoring winger for.... If you can get Draisatl, maybe you can sell it to the fans by saying that Germany is at least close to France? Might not fly though. Germany invaded France...twice.

Makes sense on alot of levels. Maybe RNH and Domi can find chemistry and a clean slate there. And Edmonton needs a legit sniper to play with McDavid. Looking at the Montreal roster now makes me sad. That was a team that wasn't that far off from contending. Then a few boneheaded moves like trading Subban, Sergachev, and letting Radulov and Markov go, and hiring Julien just made a mess. Feel bad for Carey Price more than anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
