Thanks for coming out. You don't watch a lot of hockey do you? Definitely not a lot of Habs games.

Ek are you channeling your inner Clouts? I'm not sure the Avalanche are in "dire" need of blue line help... and even if they were, why would they trade away their 1st overall pick/prospect for an offensive D-man? Wouldn't they be better off looking for more of a shut down defensive defenseman and maybe trade something a little less valuable to the future of the team?

Subban is better defensively than you give him credit for.

I wasn't trying to insinuate that he's bad by any means, but why shoot for the moon when your team is clearly one of the best right now in the west?

The point I was trying to make is why not just seek out a decent defensive player that doesn't require giving up a player with so much untapped potential like McKinnon? I mean don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a player like Subban for the Wild but I wouldn't give up a kid like McKinnon to get him.

I mean why not go after someone like Suter or Weber then if you're willing to part with McKinnon?

No.

Neither are boobs, beer, strip clubs, or money.

So you think Suter is better than Subban then? I would say they're closer to the same value wise. Maybe I'm biased but at the same time maybe so are you?

What's so funny? If we're going to judge players because of a few mistakes I guess that means Suter sucks then. He was brutal against the Habs earlier this year...
