Habs accept imo

Interesting but Chychrun does play the right side

if i'm the flyers i'm looking at offering a 2nd with a 5th or 6th for barron instead of losing a 1st. Barron has had opportunities to crack the roster but hasnt been able to make the case to be an everyday payer in MTL so i'm not sure it would take a first to land him now.

get kent hughes on the phone asap

Buffalo would not do that

Got to think the Habs would accept this just on the premise of good value and the team already having a surplus of young dmen.



I sort of agree on the value standpoint but also think you may be judging him a bit harshly too. Its not every day that a team has like 4-5 under 23 yo NHL ready dmen all competing for the last couple spots on a team. He's showed he's more than capable at the NHL but ppl have to be reminded that he is also still young too. He's susceptible to brain farts but most 22 yo dmen are. I think we judge him harsher simply based on the fact we have a plethora of other options. That doesn't mean he wouldn't be an everyday dman on another team with less depth. Habs have an abnormal amount of young depth at this level that they can afford to not be as patient.

OTT declines

Fully agree i think he could still develop into a decent dman, but I think philly could pry him from mtl for a little cheaper, then they wouldve been able to last year..But 100% he is a victim of the deep prospect pool the habs have on d.

Yeah and Im assuming there is no protection on the pick which makes it an easy decline. They'd have to know better where that lands for this type of deal to even be considered. Just for fun though, if we had a crystal ball and that pick was 100% the 32nd OV pick, i think that is probably a fair price then. Less than 30th though, probably too high then.

oilers decline they would most likely buyout and save the picks

Didn't realize you loved Hirvonen

U guys missed your chance to trade Laughton & get good value for him imo
