Now Montreal surprised just about everyone with their play in the post season. Then they arguably have the best offseason of any team in the NHL. Now you have to be careful too much turnover can completely change the team dynamic and with the way they came together in the playoffs that really something I don't think you want to mess with. But who knows I'm just a Detroit Fan and probably have no idea what I'm talking about.

i can assure you, without any doubt, that yzerman would trade bertuzzi in a heartbeat for caufield or KK. i mean you're comparing a middle 6 winger to an elite prospect and an up and coming elite young centermen.

I can assure you that you're wrong. An elite prospect? lol, no.

KK is a decent center prospect. Elite? God, no. Get off your high horse. KK would definitely be more of a selling point than Caufield though.

Bertuzzi is a core member of this young group going forward. Yzerman has made that clear. For the umpteenth time, it's not simply about perceived market value...

In all seriousness how is Lehkonen overrated? I mean sure Drouin is overrated, Weber, Price, among others. Lehkonen is the last guy on the Habs I'd call overrated. Sure, it is a lopsided trade but to call Lehkonen OVERRATED is just unfair - no one knows who he is.

all the trades on this website have him pulling an excessive return. He's a bottom sixer (where yeah, he holds a good amount of value internally), doesn't have that value externally.

In general he's fine. But on this website habs fans demand literal gold for him.

Yes us fans to tend to overrate our own players - thankfully our GM doesn't...like Benning does (Roussel, Beagle, Eriksson) and it allows for us to grab good players like Toffoli! Thanks man

ah yes let's bring up an irrelevant arguement. adds so much to this thread! well done! (insert dramatic clapping here)

you just said you'd rather have bertuzzi over caufield AND KK and you're saying habs fan inflate their own players?????

i didn't say and. but i dont think he is vastly different. caufield is the most overrated prospect on this website and KK isn't far behind. Bertuzzi brings a lot. I'd take him over Caufield any day of the week. Maybe not KK yet, but his ceiling has yet to be made evident.

Okay - I get your point, but Lehkonen holds a lot more value than Brendan Perlini.

and Bertuzzi holds a lot more value than Lehkonen and picks

You can try to talk around your ridiculous posts but at the end of the day it’s just a poor trolling attempt.
