I don't think we will see many weak teams making the top 3 in each division in the future. The weak divisions are the ones that have been split up.

yup. praise vishnu.

2 second round picks.

Wow.
- Pecafan Fan

Ok, so one of those 2nd round picks is conditional upon Murray re-signing.

Yeah, but Hal Gill was only worth a 2nd and... a headcase.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
- _nay_

too soon.

Murray for a second is very reasonable.

They found their new Hal Gill.
- QuebecPride

Does he have the same blistering speed?

Just found out he's Swedish... with a name like that!

I imagine you shat your pants when you saw Jacob De La Rose at the WJC...

Yeah it's quite odd. Think his family is scottish.

Also, fun fact

Elin dumped Murray

but we all know thats not Murray's game he's a sound bruising D, but yes nevertheless 2 2nd rounders....yikes

Murray is a solid guy, he sticks up for teammates too. Pens are building but chemistry is still a question.

In the past big rentals haven't paid out. I would stay away from blowing the future for Iginla

Hossa for example. An addition like Murray and Morrow is adding depth and support. I like these moves.

He would've been exactly what the habs need.

Still, Hossa brought them to 7th game of the SCF.

A dumb chick at home and porn female doges on the road is All Tiger needed.

Louis Eriksson...that's where you move those unproven (yet to be drafted players) for a guy with term and is proven.

I don'think you can judge a players future worth on what he does this season alone.
And the only other good season he has had was last year.
Near 50 assists which is good, but do we have the Scoring center or Left winger to play with him?

Most of our forwards are passers, adding another one doesn't help much in the long haul.
- Oilhab

He is 26, playing is 5th season, and entering his prime. And Eller hasn't ever put great offensive numbers neither. All i was saying is if MB goes for a big name it won't be a rental and Wheeler would give the Habs a true 1st line (Pac-DD).

Still, Hossa brought them to 7th game of the SCF.

Very true. That was a bad example. See Toronto and their acquisitions of Leetch, Nolan, etc.

For Armstrong and 2 bust.
They also got Dupuis who is actually a part of Pittsburgh success.

yea, what a trade that was for PITT. Give up nothing and get the best rental available and a top 6 winger

I love when people say "Dupuis is lucky to play with Crosby, his numbers wouldn't be as good if he wasn't"


Dupuis' best season was Last year, and Crosby only played 22 games

The Habs did not get him because Gainey did not want to give up on Higgins.

Imagine what he would have given for Gomez is Higgins wasn't there anymore?

- muffin_man

Yep, still a team like Pittsburgh have the luxury of trading for rental players year after year and their future isn't mortgaged.

- Habsody

i dont see the hype on Wheeler....its on and off and at this stage for the Habs we need ppl who are gonna grow with this team (or are unrestricted at the end of the year) not worth what it would take

Jagr does fit the other bill though
