Eller and Schultz

Habs decline they aint trading Toffoli.

the deal for one is a hard no from the habs. And i dont understand the obsession with bringing back failed players, Eller never amount to anything for MTL and just cuz he has had some success in washington doesnt mean he is going to come back and be a number 2 center.

If Weber really might come back this year, then Montreal doesn't need Schultz. But Schultz outscored Weber by 50% last year, and has shown he can lead a power play, and somewhat play 1RD, in Pittsburgh. Savard has a strong reputation for defense, but Schultz' plus/minus was better than Savard's last year by 39. So Schultz is a big upgrade at a valuable position.

In the last three years, Eller has 27 more even strength points than Dvorak. Eller can kill penalties and play on a checking line well enough to win the Cup. Dvorak is starting to learn those skills. Montreal fans all valued that stuff a lot last year when they were trying to shop Danault.

Eller and Schultz together are an overpay for Toffoli, even with Toffoli coming off a career year as a goal scorer. If Chiarot for Kempny is too much to balance it, what about Edmundson?

Caps fans think he has high value cuz he scored the winning goal when they won the cup.

Oh. Did Toffoli?
