Thread: Once everyone is back
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>it's a troll post, hows that for an argument.
we give up a better defense man who can be protected in the Expansion for a 5'9 midget defenseman.
We give up an actual decent 4C for someoen who hasn't done anything and isn't even playing this year.
How about not even close.</div></div>

Talk about being biaised &amp; annoying, I don't know why you're not on my ignore list yet.
Joseph isn't better than Mete, and that's a pure fact. The latter simply doesn't play because of the depth in front of him. Poehling can handle the 4C role, he's done it in the past with mediocre teammates. A 4C for a #4dman is close, just like a 21 yo bottom-pairing dman at best for a 22 yo bottom 6er, former WJC MVP is close.

Thread: Question for my fellow Habs fans not on my ignore list - about PLD
<a href="/users/GMs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@GMs</a>
No,
I’d love PLD on the wing. He’s big and can score a decent amount so far. Suzuki is a 200-foot centre with very high offensive upside. The guy above is clearly a toddler. I’ve looked at advanced numbers before and unfortunately they all suck. They sound good until you actually think about it and look into other numbers that impact them and realize they suck.

I’d love to get PLD on the wing as I stated above, he'd make this team even more dangerous. Suzuki is a 2 year who has only been improving, and a 200 foot centre who can put up good numbers is huge. I don’t see Mtl getting him unless it’s for caufield and stuff... I’d move danault but his faceoffs and defence is too valuable

Thread: Question for my fellow Habs fans not on my ignore list - about PLD
The problem is, its not just Suzuki for PLD is it? Habs have ZERO cap space. So that trade couldn't happen til next off season anyway and if it were to happen this year, Habs would need to add another significant piece for it work, which IMO then makes it not worth it from a Habs perspective. PLD is amazing and all but that time has passed. Its not happening. I was all for Habs OS Dubois like they should have but now with what MB has done in the offseason, its too late. That money is spent.

Habs need Suzuki and his ELC contract for this year and next. Adding Dubois now means not only do they lose Suzuki, but almost certainly Tatar and Danault in free agency now as well.

BTW for the debate, PLD is the better player right now. Habs don't want to admit it but its true. Will he be for the rest of both guys careers? I'm not sure about that. Suzuki's has been getting better and better at an alarming rate and Its not like Suzuki is just a point producer, he's been very good at both ends of the ice. The hesitation to move him for PLD straight up is valid. There are more factors involved than just "whose a better player right now".

Thread: Is this a joke
I think both teams could have used an actual preseason lol, that being said the refs are in mid season form, missed calls below:

Thought the penalty on Anderson was soft, refs allowed the leafs back into the game. Vesey initiated contact and Anderson just powered through him. Soft call.

There were some missed calls the other way too, I just don't have videos, Cross Checks on Matthews (although Matthews broke his stick over Chiarot after the whistle earlier so probably even), trip on Mikheyev breakaway definitely effected his shot, trip on Muzzin early in the game.

The missed calls are pretty much even, it's the soft Anderson call that gets me.

Edit: Then the refs nice assist for the tying goal... but the refs are in play can't fault them there justa bad bounce.
