Thread: Draft Day Blockbuster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>EDM Passes

Zero interest in taking on Prices Contract in which MTL chose to pay a back up like a starter with term.
i'd rather the Weber contract atleast it has value to us because of our coach having great chemistry and loves Weber</div></div>

I'm gonna tell you a secret. It's not that much of a secret if you watch Mtl games an can evaluate a goalie's performance.
Last year, Price was suddenly bad like this year for about 6 weeks. At the end of those 6 wks, the head-coach (bi-polar) Michel Therrien was fired and suddenly Price was doing good again (like magik).
After the GM did not resigng Radulov and personal friend Markov, Price has been losing games with 3, 4 and 5 goals a game non stop all year... Very bizarrrrr...
Unfortunatly the owner stated last month that Marc Bergevin is not going anywhere. So I expect Price will miraculously become again the best goaltender in the world in October. If not, he'll be traded before the end of Oct.

Thread: MTL QUICK REFIT
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Price_is_the_goat</b></div><div>petry is perfectly fine with us. we wont regeret his cap in 7 years. he's gone after 3. alzner if can't rebound next season can be bought out. and why would carlson come to mtl when our organizational depth chart is stacked on the right side of D. juulsen is a top 4, and we have brooks, and fluery in the juniors</div></div>

I do agree Petry is not that bad, but he's not an impact player. So my lineup is based on getting rid of high salaries who are not helping the team and getting 5 players (2x Def / 3x Fwd) who are going to have an impact. I traded Petry IOT get needed money and it would not have made sense to have him on a 3rd pair with Juulsen as an healty scratch.
Bottom line, this is all for fun. Don't take it too seriously. I respect your opinion.

Thread: MTL QUICK REFIT
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigBeardBurns</b></div><div>Not sure that would b the return Buffalo would b looking for from ROR. They do have a lot of kids coming up (Nylander, Mittelstadt, CJ Smith, etc.), and the last few veteran wingers they’ve had haven’t worked out too well (Moulson, Pouliot, Pominville, etc.).

Throw in a Shaw for V.Rask swap and I’ll take the Carolina deal. It give’s both players a chance to be on another team (and the Canes love taking former Hawks players).

Idk if Kovi would want to go to MTL, or if they should pay Stastny 7M or JC 10M.</div></div>

It is tough to convince players to come to Mtl. Overpaying 1 or 2M$ more then what others are offering might do it.
Mtl is a scary place for 3 reasons: Income tax, Climate &amp; Agressive medias.
