They're looking for a D-man. And we know how much they love French. As it happens, Alex Biega fits both requirements. To make it even better, he's from Montreal. So it will have to be Ericsson + Gagner + Biega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SingleThorn Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Wonder if this is Montreal having a Shanaplan moment ? Hughes in 2019, Lafreniere in 2020 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me_ Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 As far as I’m concerned, Pacioretty is a cancer of the likes of Dallas Eakins’ days as Edmonton coach; head games, my way or the highway, no grander vision, not a leader but a boss... Pacioretty’s bossiness has cost Subban as well as Plekanek... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max would be an outstanding peice for a team to acquire for Stanley Cup run. Provides solid leadership and is a great value, Montreal should receive a nice haul for him. That being said, it's Montreal... so they will probably mess this up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
