Retinalz Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 18 minutes ago, qwijibo said: I said a player like Simmonds. And given Philly's struggles and their cap situation , Simmonds being available for the right package isn't out of the question. The point is Montreal will likely be looking for a player in that age range that fits with their core. Also. Who cares if Vrbata would sign an extension there? Why would Montreal extend a then 35 year old forward who seems to be on the decline for another year or two? If you want to believe Bergevin is desperate enough to mortgage the teams future for a rental then by all means. Carry on with your dream. I'm just saying that NOTHING that he's done during his tenure as GM of the Habs suggests he's willing to do so. Trading 1 prospect in an area you are fairly strong in does not leverage the future. Vrbata is a great player that can sit in top 6 role and move up and down lines 1-3 and be effective. You seem to have this weird notion that he wants a contract to last more than 1-2 years. Price will be looking 8mil/season and Pacioretty will be looking 7ish. Vrbata fits the bill of someone to take now, sign a 1 year extension and then kick him to the curb and use his money on price/pac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinordi is not that, and they don't need picks. EDM is likely looking at a way to acquire Hamonic. Cute. So...Vrbata is what? A prize to be had then?

With Beaulieu, Parteryn and possibly Tinordi graduating they aren't left with any high end defensive prospects beyonfd Juulsen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Eberle could be had for Tinordi plus a pick. I could see that happening. Eberle's been brutal this season, Edmonton want to move him, he's a clutch scorer and Montreal would turn him into a star again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sending prospects and vets for a quality younger asset. I could see Gaunce is an canadian's jersey. Not that i want it to happen but i can see it.

Doubtful they'd want Vrbata anyways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierdaddy Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 The Canucks need to get Vrbata back on a line with the twins asap. They need him scoring at a regular clip before the trade deadline. I think it's a safe bet he's going to get traded but his value has got to be low. At this rate I think the best the Canucks can hope for from Montreal is a B prospect and a 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staal problem is he is stuck on a $&!#ty team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedins are on just as bad of a team, but they're still lighting it up, so the whole "stuck on whatever team" isn't that strong of an argument really.
