Yup.

No expectations, but still produces and works his ass off. Yeah, he gets pounded, but he always goes in the corners and behind the net and often comes out with the puck. I hope he stays.

So we should trade a center who produces because we don't have enough wingers who produce?

Makes sense.

didnt we do this when we traded ribeiro

Right now, the only wingers who did not produce as much as we expected were Gionta and Cole.

Moen. (frank) he sucks, and has from the get go.

We do? That's a fact. Yes Eller CAN play wing. Yes Galchenyk CAN play wing. Should they because we want to keep a french guy in the line up? No.

We wanted a big, skilled center. We drafted one.. and now we wanted him to play wing until DD "stops producing." I'm not trashing DD, he's a Hab. I hope he does well because that means the team is doing well. But that doesn't mean that I think he should be part of the plans going forward.

Center depth trumps all IMO, especially if one can move to the wing. Having 2 guys on the ice that can take draws late in a game is always a nice luxury.

Habs will be patient with Galchenyuk, let's not put too much pressure on him. A couple years on the 3rd line is perfect to let him get stronger and refine his game.

(frank) off. He's there because he's the best guy available right now, and he does a heck of a job. Hell, he'd be a good 2nd center on more than hald the teams in the league. Eller is playing well as of late, but his slacking off makes him more of a candidate to be traded than DD in my book. And he'd fetch a better return because he has...



POTENTIAL!

wouldnt you point to higgins before ribeiro on that one

So what's the problem with having 3 productive lines?
- _nay_

Nothing. You guys seem to have a perception that I think DD should be traded right now. I don't. I didn't even want Cole to be traded right now because I don't think you should mess with a winning line-up (even though I like the trade).

Or you keep the guy who overproduces for what you pay him and he does what he is supposed to and costs you next to nothing while doing so...
