Thread: Geoff Molson come on dude
As of right now Bergevin isn't the problem. Yeah he wasted the first 6-7 years as GM, and if he would be fired he definitely deserves it.

But right now Bergevin's plan has been to not touch their prospects and let them develop. which is the right thing to do. folks clamoring for him to move Price and Weber are idiots, because it just won't happen, even with a new GM in place. Those guys aren't moving unless they ask to. With the Habs continuing to lose, Bergevin will sell off expiring contracts come this trade deadline, he already said he would in a recent interview (he said something along the lines of "I don't want to, but if we fall out of the playoff picture, I'll have no choice but to consider it).

When this season is over however, all bets are off. If Bergevin can fully embrace a rebuild, he probably stays, but again, if he does get fired no one will be surprised. The one guy I think will lose his job will be Claude Julien. Not that he's been bad. but moving forward the goal will be to play and develop the Habs top prospects, and have a coach who understands the new modern game and how the kids play nowadays. Julien isn't that guy, he's as old school as old school gets. Suzuki being to only exception, Julien clearly sticks to his veteran players as opposed to playing the kids * looks at Weal, Cousins*
So Julien will get the boot and Ducharme will take over as head coach is my guess.

Thread: STL trade to bring fellow comrades for Romanov
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Blues reject that (and your math is off, Tatar's cap hit would be $3.5M). We're not trading Barby, probably not trading any more F prospects for a while and we're definitely not taking on more cap until we get Petro signed.</div></div>

fair enough on the trade. My thinking was getting Tatar would be a big improvement than Bozak on the 2nd line. Then slide Bozak to the 3rd line.

and my math is fine lol Habs are only paying $4.8mil of Tatar's cap hit, VGK is still retaining 500k. So with the retention I'm proposing, Tatar's cap hit with STL would be $3mil, and considering Barbashev make almost $1.5mil aav. STL is only adding $1.5mil cap hit, value seems more than fair imo when adding a LW that's on pace for 70pts.

I did say consensus no?

and the quote you're referencing means with what Bergevin had to pick at 3rd overall. Murray was gone at 2nd overall. could of been a completely different story if Murray was still available at #3.

Thread: Updated Roster - Proposed Lineup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>But they did play together prior to tatar arrival double check my friend they play together in 2016-17 before gallagher got hurt. So Gallagher and danault have work together before tatar you are wrong and i am right!!
Boum chakalaka</div></div>

...... you really want to keep going with this?!......

The 2016-2017 season was the year of the Pacioretty - Danault - Radulov line.... that was MTLs only effective line that year... you are right Gallagher was hurt, but by no means does that make the 11% of the time or so he played with Danault mean they had developed a good chemistry... and as I said Danault since arriving in MTL has basically played well with whoever he's been with. Because he's an all around great two-way Center.

Without taking away anything from Danault, the true chemistry of the line today is with Gallagher and Tatar. If you don't see that, well we'll just have to agree to disagree.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>What are you talking about. Stop taking drug danault and gallagher was playing together even before tatar was in Montreal. Tatar have just fot extremely well wit them. That a stupid idea of breaking up danault and tatar. That it</div></div>

Ummm, I'm sorry but you couldn't be more further from the truth.... not trying to be mean at all. Danault and Gallagher weren't linemates prior to Tatar arriving, and very rarely played together to boot... check for yourself:

<a href="https://frozenpool.dobbersports.com/frozenpool_linecombo.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://frozenpool.dobbersports.com/frozenpool_linecombo.php</a>

Gallagher's main linemate / Center prior to the 2018-2019 season, was Tomas Plekanec by far. They were a consistent duo for almost 2 years...The winger that was with them rotated between Byron and Hudon.

Danault prior to the 2018-2019 season, his linemate was Pacioretty...all. the. time. .... the guy who filled that RW spot was Shaw, and the year before was Radulov...

Just stating facts my friend, no drugs involved...
