Thread: What would it cost every team for Subban

A king’s ransom for the Pred’s 3rd d man? Mass text to Poole: hell no.

Could be Bean, could be Clague, could be any one of a number of guys.

The FB debate was ways and means to redo the blue line w/o giving up roster players and w/o drafting D.

Thread: Anaheim looking for cheap LD

Yeah, one of the talking heads said the Ducks were looking for depth LHD and boy, do the Habs have that. That's probably about right for what Schlemko could fetch, unless the Habs retain salary.

Thread: booo

In order to get quality, you have to give quality. Sometimes (Karlsson to SJS) quantity has its own quality, or perceived need inflates quality (Hall/Larsson) but those are rare. Very rate. I can't see any of this ever happening, sorry.

Thread: TBLs situation this offseason

I think they have to make a trade. You're 3.3 over and I count maybe 8 guys with one year left for term. Even if the cap goes up 2.5 next year and the Bolts lose a guy making say 5-6m to expansion Seattle, that is going to be another brutal year getting everyone under contract. Not impossible, but ugly difficult.

Thread: Tank while stacking up on Picks

Before the Habs hang up they politely inquire as to whether or not you have any more defencemen to offer.

Kotkaniemi wouldn't have made it out of the top 5, as witnessed by the Yotes going way off list by grabbing Barrett Hayden at 5 because he was the next best centre available.

Thread: MTL nothing to lose

I don't have time to explain to you why these 3 trades won't work, but trying to pick the worst out of this bunch is making my mind reset each time. I think it's probably the Trouba trade and suffice it to say, to lure a key part out of the Jets roster when they're making a serious push for the Cup would demand a king's ransom. That ain't even close to being it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>Yes absolutely. No one is perfect and I can say I saw this Alzner experiment failing the minute it happened but I too have been wrong many a time regarding players but if MB is showing that he is learning from his mistakes at least, its a great sign.

This season is about building for the future and this roster move and that admission are two important steps. Hope and pray we get a top pairing D man betweeen now and next Sept.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MountRoyal514</b></div><div>Alzner is a d-man from another era, he would still be effective if the game was like it was 5 years ago but speed rules the day now.

That's the best part of this to me. By sending him to Laval, Bergevin seems to be recognizing and admitting he's made a mistake. Add that to keeping Mete and Kulak up (neither need waivers) and it begins to look like he's learning what a modern NHL d-man looks like.

Why'd you take the first legit looking 1C the Habs have had for years and making him a third line winger?

Thread: Contender

The Ducks say no. They're short of NHL caliber D men now because of injuries. They're not giving up a really good top pairing guy for help that might be 5 years out (next year's draft + 3 for the first), a AHL/NHL tweener (NS), a 4th line guy with defensive issues (CHud) and whatever you want to call Schlemko. That package might pry a prospect out of them, not Lindholm.

Thread: D-Men

I don't know enough to comment on all these trades, but that Dallas trade is remarkably one sided unless Honka has broken a couple bones since the last time I checked. And I'm not sure the Kings would be willing to move Clague, as much as I'd like him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DDoverChucky</b></div><div>Thanks didn't know this. If you go 8x5 it's still great value</div></div>

It is a good value over 5 years and gets him to free agency ASAP. It also probably puts more money in his pocket than a similar matching offer from Toronto because taxes. So he might even sign.
