Fanuck Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Like this deal for the Habs. If we don't get that playoff spot I hope they do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B Cooper Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Habs loading up! Lol. Is Staal as washed up as I assume he would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Another big body for the playoffs. I guess the Canadiens are going to beat all other teams into submission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Sutter could warrant a potentially similar return. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV. Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Funny how they went out and got Staal. They've been Staaling on getting an actual 1C for years and keep resorting to getting these psuedo 1Cs/past it players. Can't see him putting them over the top. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I forgot that Staal was on the Sabres this season. What a trainwreck of a team. I feel bad for there fans. Eichel is gonna leave that team this Summer. Player controlled movement, ala the NBA, is coming to the NHL and it's going to really kick off this summer.

No team in the canadian divsion has a shot for the cup imo. Avs, bolts, vegas etc are a whole other level . 1 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranger things have happened but yes, I would say all those teams you listed are the favourites to win it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 How are they fitting his salary in if they had to waive Perry for cap reasons? I know the salaries are pro-rated. very surprised tho! Great add by MTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR7 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 And the winner of this trade is Eric Stall. Managed to get out of the dumpster fire and into the pressure cooker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Wow nice piece for MTL. Really solidifies their center position especially with two very young guys in Suzuki and Kotkaniemi. Montreal is starting to be built to play out a 7 game series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Buffalo retaining $1.625 million of Staal's salary. Bergevin confirmed that a Habs player is affected by a Covid variant. He didn’t disclose if it was Armia or Kotkaniemi. They are shutdown until next week - their facilities are closed. The league acted swiftly because of the risk of on ice transmission that also puts their opponents at risk. Their schedule is about to get absolutely packed to catch up the games they’ve missed. It’s not really possible to push games beyond 11 May because of the Olympics. The player affected might not have recovered by the time they are allowed to get back to practice/play. Adding someone now allows to have his quarantine overlap with their pause. Quarantine coming from the US has been reduced to 7 days.

Eric Staal is nowhere near the player he used to be but he was still quite productive with the Wild last season. Hard to judge Staal's numbers with Buffalo given the dumpster fire situation that team has. If Staal still has the ability he showed in the playoffs against the Canucks last year, then the Habs have picked up some solid depth IF they are able to make the playoffs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PhillipBlunt Posted March 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2021 Vancouver while not as bad as Buffalo isn't going anywhere this season, outside of golfing once it's over. Now is the time to trade players who still retain value but aren't core players to teams willing to pay. It's time. 3 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkSave Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Now it is time to try and move Sutter to one of the Habs competitors in the Leafs and Oilers. This is a time to pounce for playoff succes for these clubs as a CDN team will for sure end up in the final 4. Those odds should make the other north "contenders" willing to part with picks and prospects. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the first domino means that other teams are going to feel the need to get into an arms race. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonton looking for a right shot C3 to kill penalties and are offering a 4th round pick per Insider Trading. Leafs targeting Granlund but Nashville delaying with Chicago dropping in the division. Toronto might have to go plan B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
