Thread: Here You Go Lavis...
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>this is True in a sense but the way you set it up is more then that .
since Eller Left Chucky's possession metrics literally went from + to -
having another American to play with and Scherbak or Drouin on his wing it could give
us a legit first line threat for the first time since the days of Kovalev and Koivu


as for the Plekanec comment we landed a 2nd , Rychel who's been one of our best prospects with 12pts in 16 in Laval and 2 pts in 4 in MTL he's taken Mccarrons spot in the depth pool IMO so we actually landed a lot for him . that being said giving up a lot for a top 6 center is one thing but given up for a Center that's played bottom 6 wing and center with no direction for 2 years being clearly miss managed more then Chucky, that has to impact the value</div></div>

I am not sure how much Valiev and Rychel can bring to the team, but since Montreal need to rebuild, i would sign them to a 2 years contract and hope they play well enough to raise their value and then trade them for pick or as part of a package.
The main problem with the Habs is that their core is old, not good enough and they have nothing in the pipeline with their prospects.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>trade Weber ?

good ******* luck

Price and Weber are untouchable for 4 years minimum until their buyout becomes less then 6m a year cap hit .
they got contracts that guarantee pay via signing bonus's play or retire and structured so it makes buyouts really hard.


the rest you could flip for value 100% but you'd get more value out of Weber and Price level contracts by waiting .
as for Patches if we dont trade him at the draft we can get more at the trade deadline in his final year as 100% of the time
teams overpay for players to help with a cup run which is not as common in the summer .

its never to late to get a Center we havent had a single top line center since Molson bought the Habs .
we've had Gomez and Cole stuffed into that role and fail but never actually got that top C.
Patches for Bjugstad ,Ang and a 1st (likely to be a mid to late if they are picking up Patches as if they didnt expect playoffs they wouldnt bother getting a UFA)
Bjugstad like Chucky has had his value diminished playing wing and bottom 6 since Gallant left with no clear direction from his coach who has 1st ,2nd and 4th centers out taking more draws then Bjudgstad.
that being said there is still value in him and he's only 25 so he could be that Winger to play with Chucky who can help him balance the Faceoff Load allowing him to stay at Center(Chucky's lights out on OZ faceoffs but struggles with NZ and DZ)</div></div>

If we trade Price and Weber, we will need to retained and take a nad contract back, like Ladd, Lucic or a Matt Martin or Vladimir Sobotka. Now is time to trade since i feel if we dont Montreal is screwed for another 10 years.

I would touch Bjugstad, he's a average#2/good#3 C now playing in the wing with Florida.
