you didn't make the Habs better.

I can never seem to put my finger on what the habs are doing. Rebuilding retooling or trying to improve and compete?

Retooling and trying to compete at the same time because, you know, it’s MTL. But we will be real good when Weber Price will be 38-36 yo

Why on earth would you want to trade Danault? just because he says he doesn't want to play a 3rd C defensive role? Sorry, but he doesn't call the shots
In fact, this would be the perfect off-season to NOT trade Danault - its a contract year for him before UFA status and I'm sure we're going to get the best year out of him. 40+ points for him is not unreasonable, even on a 3rd C defensive role and 50pts wouldn't surprise me either. Yes, we may lose him for nothing next off-season but I'd much rather take that risk and go into this next season with great depth down the middle and load up on high profile scoring wingers which is what the habs absoloutely need right now.

We don't need Yost since we have similar players in Lekhs, Byron, Poehling and maybe even RHP and Ikonen.
I agree with trying to move Tatar but you should also get rid of other dead weight in Domi, Mete, Kulak, Weal, Oulette. (its time to start making room for our youth to move in - ie. Poehling, Juulsen, Fleury)

Dead weight Domi Mete Kulak lmao yeah right because Kulak is so bad, horrible. Why are we still using him right ? He doesn’t really makes mistakes, doesn’t have flaws, but wtf is this name Kulak, let’s trade him. You probably should start watching games instead of complaining like a baby. Fleury isn’t ready, Juulsen we’ll see at camp, he could move Mete, if Romanov isn’t ready Mete plays, he’s 22 yo. We need to keep him around another 1-2 season, Kulak stays. Weal have another year on is contract, maybe he’ll be traded, but he can play C/RW/LW so good 13th forward. Timmins likes Jost, so it makes senses, he wanted to draft him in 2016 before Sergachev felled to 9. Having good defensive players on the bottom six is ideal

Sorry I forgot the part with Danault because you made me lose my mind saying Kulak was a dead weight. Yeah right, you rather have Danault 1 season than draft a guy like Quinn/Jarvis/Sanderson at 10, makes senses. Maybe you don’t know but MTL won’t make the playoffs next year

This is the the definition of being a Habs fan.

too much for tatar. he's a bust in the playoffs.

i'd rather the avs just add a 3rd/4th and get gallagher instead.

LMAO you think adding a 3rd or a 4th Gets Gallagher!!! ROFLMAO!!!

might even be too much
1st, 4th, and jost.

And that right there is why you dont have any credibility on this site and no one takes you seriously!

that's significantly better than the package for kane. are you trying to tell me that gallagher is better than kane? their numbers are very comparable over the last 3 seasons.

Yes he is! Gallagher has more 5 vs 5 goals over the last 3 seasons than everyone in the league other 5th and Stamkos, Mathews, Ovechkin, Crosby and Kutcherov. That alone makes him more valuable

pp goals still count.

LMAO of course they do but the majority of the game isn't spent on the PP. Therefore a player capable of producing more at 5 vs 5 has more value plain and simple.

not at all. teams that can convert on the pp win.

Players who can convert 5 vs 5 are more valuable than PP specialists. That is because it is easier to score on the PP than 5 vs 5. If Montreal's PP was better Gallagher's totals likely go up. He is only 1 part of a 5 man PP unit. The problem with Montreal's PP is it is 1 dimensional. Get the puck to Weber and let him blast it and hope for a rebound for Gally. Cover Weber and the whole thing goes to crap.

you need to stop taking criticism so personally - so calling people babies doesn't bring about fruitful discussion. Hopefully you can be a little more mature with this response.
I respect your ideas, respect mine and let's see where we get.
Firstly - I watch EVERY SINGLE game from overseas at 2AM every morning from Bulgaria and work at 8AM.
If there's a hab fan making a sacrifice to watch and follow his team its me - for the LAST 8 YEARS.
Now that we got that out of the way....let's get down to the nitty gritty.

your proposal makes us occupy roster spots with proven inconsistent players.
That's why Weal was dropped in the playoffs.
that's why Kulak was brought back in the playoffs but missed majority of the season while in the dog house
that's why Mete has been relegated to the bottom pairing and our worst D man in the playoffs.
as with Mete - so is Domi
This is DEAD weight.

BOTTOM pairing dmen
BOTTOM 6 forwards are a dime a dozen in the NHL
AND
you have an abundance of this already in the system with
Juulsen (bad luck with injuries but was getting it back together when he returned to Laval before the stoppage)
Fleury (hit a brick wall - MUCH LIKE SUZUKI did - and was sent back to Laval)
Brook (much improved and perfect bottom pairing RD coming up the ranks)
If you don't give these three a shot now then they'll never get a shot with the habs.......why rely on the draft if you can't develop???
Juulsen is Petry's replacement if all goes well.
Fleury is going to be our heart and soul on D in the next year or so. (plays with a chip on his shoulder which is exactly what we need)
Romanov is ready for the NHL, regardless of what you think. THe kid JUST CAME OVER FROM RUSSIA and MB wanted him to play in the playoffs - you don't think there's a roster spot for him to lose next season? HECK - the guy was part of the black aces even without being ELIGIBLE TO PLAY.
If you don't think Romanov is making the team next year you're sadly mistaken and really don't read up on the habs enough.
Keeping Mete and Kulak only occupies a spot that he and the others mentioned above can potentially have.

SOOO???? Once again...we either stay with the mediocrity (or less than) that we've seen till now with Mete, Kulak and Oulette or we can give the kids mentioned above a shot.
If they don't work - once again - I revert back to my original mindset which is - BOTTOM 6 pairing D men are a dime a dozen in the NHL and you make a trade.....

NOW FOR DOMI.
If the playoffs and last season didn't open your eyes to how much he's not suited as a winger then you are not watching enough games.
He needs to play C and unfortunately right now - Suzuki and KK have surpassed him and there is NO WAY any coach is putting him in a 3rd C role given his defensive liabilities and he's rotting away on the 4h.
Soooooo - he's DEAD WEIGHT - that we can move now for at least some sort of premium.

NOW FOR DANAULT
Once again - he doesn't call the shots as he's under contract with the HABS.
I would much rather go into this off season gaining not decent - BUT ELITE SCORING WINGERS - rather than a 3rd line center. We have one already in Danault!!!
and,
this being a contract year - playing with the likes of Byron and Lekhs, this guy might even crack 50pts - THATS AMAZING FOR A 3rd LINE CENTER.
2 scoring wingers in Hoffman and Hall added to the likes of Gally?
with depth down the middle in Suzuki, KK, Danault and Evans.
add in the money you save by trading Kulak, Mete, Domi, Weal, Oulette - you can even add in there another LD.
you don't think we're making the playoffs with that?

Hopefully this finds you in a better mood and you have some constructive response this time around.
