    2016 2nd

    Grade: B

    This was very good value for an average defenceman. Gorges barely lasted 4 seasons with the Sabres. Good trade by the Habs

        Jeff Petry

        Grade: A+

        Absolute steal for a legit top 4 d-man. Petry has been great for Montreal and Edmonton took a big loss here

            What was Chicago thinking here? I knew this was a bad trade the moment it happened. Weise is a career 4th liner/AHL forward. The Habs got a selke level centre and a 2nd here. Highway robbery

                This was good value for Eller but he was one of the best 3C's at the time. The return wasn't bad but it's what they did with the return that effects this trade.

                    Grade: D

                    A pretty big overpayment for gritty bottom 6 forward. An overpayment that netted the Hawks Alex Debrincat

                        Shea Weber

                        Grade: C

                        One of the most controversial trades in Habs history. Weber actually became the superior player as of right now but Subban was playing great hockey at the time this trade happened.

                        Weber is also on a stupidly long deal but this is more of a concern for Nashville if he chooses to retire and the recapture penalty happens

                            Jonathan Drouin
                            2018 cond. 6th

                            Grade: D

                            Although Drouin has the potential to be really good, Sergachev would have filled a massive hole on the Habs D. We are seeing just how good Sergachev is and Tampa is absolutely stacked with him in the lineup.
                            Drouin has shown flashes but is never consistent whereas Sergachev looks ready to be a top 2 D in the near future

                                Bergevin fleeced Toronto here. Plek was a rental who really was at the end of his career. A pretty much free 2nd for the Habs here

                                    Grade: C

                                    Neither player really shined here. Galchenyuk was terribly misused and treated badly by the media. Domi has some signs of brilliance but never really put it together for long stretches

                                        A top 9 forward, a cap dump and 2 picks for a struggling forward.

                                            Pacioretty was a great winger on the Habs and Vegas got the key extension.
                                            But.. Suzuki is looking like a legit top 6C and Tatar was just icing on the cake which they can flip for a high pick

                                                          Guess it's more to each their own.
                                                          I didn't find Shaw worth that much. Especially if the team just moved one of their best C's to acquire 1 of those 2nds


                                                          Sorry to nitpick, but Ellers deal was two future 2nd, not that draft. As someone that LOVES watching the draft, I was pretty pissed off we traded 2x2nd, but ended up liking Shaw.

                                                          I think we see it differently.
                                                          I don't think Subban would have regressed like this on Montreal. He fit the system well and was a great offensive dman.

                                                          Sergachev is also 3rd pair because of the talent in front of him blocking him from moving up.
                                                          Columbus series Sergachev was an absolute beast making great defensive plays to save his team. He is 100% noticeable and will only get better from here.
                                                          He is also not being rushed because there's no need to. He's got a better chance of hitting his ceiling like this as he gets to learn the game at a better pace learning from the likes of Victor Hedman and McD.


                                                          Subban regressed due to his back injury. So its likely he would have regressed regardless. Hopefully this extended break for him he can bounce back with a healthy back.

                                                          ah you're right. Shaw is a likeable guy, that's why Chicago got him back.
                                                          But I just find he plays a really rough game. His body has gone through a lot.

                                                          Subban regressed due to his back injury. So its likely he would have regressed regardless. Hopefully this extended break for him he can bounce back with a healthy back.


                                                          That too. Also taking into consideration that the Devils are rebuilding and don't have the same talent to make Subban excel in what he does.
                                                          30-40 points is realistic on that team.
                                                          But on Nashville, he was doing well even with Josi above him

                                                          I think we see it differently.
                                                          I don't think Subban would have regressed like this on Montreal. He fit the system well and was a great offensive dman.

                                                          Sergachev is also 3rd pair because of the talent in front of him blocking him from moving up.
                                                          Columbus series Sergachev was an absolute beast making great defensive plays to save his team. He is 100% noticeable and will only get better from here.
                                                          He is also not being rushed because there's no need to. He's got a better chance of hitting his ceiling like this as he gets to learn the game at a better pace learning from the likes of Victor Hedman and McD.


                                                          I’ll agree to disagree on Sergachev.

                                                          While Subban may not have regressed as quickly on the habs, I still think the best part of that trade for the habs was getting rid of Subban’s attitude and adding Shea’s leadership. There’s no doubt that Shea has done wonders for this franchise and it’s young players.

                                                          Absolutely. Weber is great to have in the room. I just think it puts more pressure on the Habs to win now as he's 35 and Price is hitting his mid 30s

                                                          I thought Habs could have gotten a draft pick in the deal as well. The writing was on the wall, so I wasn't surprised he was traded, but I thought he had more value than Weber at the time.

                                                          I definitely feel bad for Chucky. He was a high pick that didn’t live up to expectations set on him by fans and media. I was glad that he got a new chance to play in more anonymity when he got traded to Arizona, but it’s unfortunate it hasn’t worked out anywhere.

                                                          I don’t blame the coaches though. Galchenyuk just wasn’t good enough to play in the top 9, and because of where he was drafted, that was viewed as a terrible thing by the media.

                                                          I definitely feel bad for Chucky. He was a high pick that didn’t live up to expectations set on him by fans and media. I was glad that he got a new chance to play in more anonymity when he got traded to Arizona, but it’s unfortunate it hasn’t worked out anywhere.

                                                          I don’t blame the coaches though. Galchenyuk just wasn’t good enough to play in the top 9, and because of where he was drafted, that was viewed as a terrible thing by the media.


                                                          I realized all this when he was moved to my team (the Pens).
                                                          He just seemed lazy, didn't want to win puck battles. He has a decent shot too but never really makes the most of it

                                                          So a bunch of A+s, some Bs, 3 debatable C&Ds, no Fs, that sounds pretty good! Thanks mate, it's refreshing to see someone praise MB's work on this site.
