Ghostsof1915 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 <Ring> Hi McPhee, it's Benning. Interested in trading away a first round pick for Eriksson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwijibo Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I wonder who Montreal names as the new Captain. You’d think it would be Weber. (Even with him being out until December) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 One thing about McPhee, he must have absolute faith in his coaching staff. Even early on, if the player didn't 100% buy in, they didn't waste time on him, or worry about saving face. Shipachyov was the first case, and now Tatar. Neither look good on the GM on paper, but you certainly can't argue with the results so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta let one of these guys go (was originally thinking Paches): Pacioretty Rakell Giroux Who do I choose!? Either Patches or Rakell. Definitely not Giroux. I would probably let Patches go.

The knock on him in Washington was that he didn't make enough moves. Showed too much loyalty to guys, and never added the missing pieces to get them over the hump. ...That is, until his back was against the wall and his job on the line, and he made that horrible trade for Erat.

If it's not working out, he's not afraid to make a move, regardless of what the player originally cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6string Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Interesting how Montreal continues to let Bergevin make big deals where as in Edmonton clearly Chiarelli is on a short leash virtually doing nothing after last year's total failure. I feel there is a coup brewing in Edmonton with Gretzky at the controls... Pacioretty is not a player I would want on my roster, Montreal wins with addition by subtraction!

Yeah, I'm still not thrilled about that Beagle contract, but if the story we were fed is true (that the 3 FAs they signed were all specifically requested by Green), then they are definitely supporting their guy.

-AJ- Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Surprised that Bergeron turned Patches into a pretty solid return actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Pacioretty has 5 seasons where he reached 30 goals and that's playing without a legit C1. Tatar's career high is 29 back in 2014/15, followed by 25, 21 and then 20 last year. 2011/12 33 goals 2012/13 lockout year 15 goals in 44 games 2013/14 39 goals 2014/15 37 goals 2015/16 30 goals 2016/17 35 goals 2017/18 17 goals He won't have the pressure of wearing the C and he probably won't get as much blame if things go wrong as in Montreal. It should be a better environment where he can just play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
