-Vintage Canuck- Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Quote It's apparently not too early to think big picture when you go undefeated in regulation throughout the month of October. It's expected the Montreal Canadiens will look to acquire a top-four defenseman via trade to ease the load on veterans Shea Weber and Andrei Markov, Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos reported Saturday. "(Montreal) is concerned about the ice time and the weight on the shoulders of Shea Weber, who many feel ran out of gas toward the latter part of last season." Montreal has a defenseman they drafted in the first round to fill that top-four role on the active roster, but Kypreos says that it's a "foregone conclusion" Mikhail Sergachev will be sent back to the Ontario Hockey League's Windsor Spitfires, who are set to host this year's Memorial Cup. The ninth overall draft pick and youngest player in the NHL right now, Sergachev has dressed in three games for the Canadiens, but not in their last five. http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1141338 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Do you mean Edler/Tanev for MM? Or Juulsen, +? Sbisa MIGHT net Desharnais? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe we need to expose more than one defenseman hence why we initially kept Biega over Stecher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Sbisa and Larsen as a package for for McCarron to make room for Tryamkin and Stetcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see them wanting to play Sbisa on their 1st pairing. They are looking for a LD to play with Weber. Lately it has been Emelin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 The only youth I really like that they have in the system not on their team would be Sergachev. They don't want to give him up and Edler or Tanev is too good for their scrap prospects or late 1rst. Look for Sbisa to Montreal if anything. Would move Sbisa for almost anything here just to free up a spot for Tryamkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montreal will trade for Sbisa if they want to go on a losing streak. Sbisa has a near zero value... maybe even a negative value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I very doubt Edler would waive to trade to Montreal. If we're trading Edler I'd want a 2nd and McCarron minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaBamba Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I know everyone thinks Montreal is dead set on Sbisa but this could be more along the lines of Winnipeg and Anaheim. You know, teams with a surplus of top 4 defenders not #7's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't they want .Tanev? The problem is the return. You say McCarron for .Tanev? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a right side D. Do you really think they see Emelin or Beaulieu as a 1st pairing D. Therrien specifically talked of needing to limit the minutes of Markov who was Subban's partner last year - he can't play as much anymore. On RD they already have Petry.

Friedman during tonight's broadcast, said the Habs are looking to ease Weber's minutes. Tanev is perfect for that. Now JB won't trade Tanev so it's s moot (moo for the young ones here) point.
