PK for Malkin? Lmao, PK isn't even Letang good. I would trade Malkin for letang though 😜. Awww, the cup is so nice. What a great team and a great run, changed the game of hockey as most of you losers know it. Keep telling yourselves subban is great and the flames don't need flower and toews is better than Sid. We'll keep them all and you can look forward to your next draft.

Dueces losers✌🏼️

You certainly ooze character...

On the PK post --- the fact is that the Habs HAVE to explore but to let it get out and then not to address it, makes me wonder how serious they are about keeping him.

Am I the only one that remembers Montreal starting 10+ games in a row all wins........... Price is such a huge piece.........if there was a draft today for the next 5 years, this guy could be taken 1st overall easily. Then Subban is atleast in the top 10 among D in that type of draft; maybe even top 5.

Michel Terrien n'aime pas PK Subban, c'est clair. Vous lisez les journaux mal.
- JLO961

lol je lit jamais le journal cest toute des niaiserie ce qui ecrive la dedans.... je regarde et ecoute TOUT ce qu on peux voir et je juge par moi meme...

Subban n'Est pas a echanger a moin d'un offre impossible a refuser, un overpaid deal... PK est a montreal pour rester a moin qu un equipe soit fou d offrir la lune en retour... alors la je me plaindera pas

Subban may be an incredibly generous person and genuinely kind hearted. I do not dispute that. I do how ever believe that this should not be the reason Montreal should not trade him. I think he needs to go, and yes I am a die hard Habs fan, but he is to much of a liability lately in his own zone, causing turnovers and trying to do far to much with the puck. I have never like his style of play on the defensive side of the game. The time is now to move on from PK Subban.

I would also like to note that I never liked Therrien either, I thought it was a huge mistake on Bergevin's part by backing him last season and keeping him on for this season. They should have brought in Marc Crawford in my mind.

Get rid of the both of them.

Absolutely DISAGREE EK. If my management didn't listen to ALL trade offers I would deem them incompetent and fire their asses!!! Why would they NOT listen to trade offers??? Because Subban is a good guy...and donates????? Absurd! If the Hawks came calling and said kane, Panarin and a first for Subban and Patches....you wouldn't at least listen???...counter????.....If Pittsburgh said Malkin, and a package for Subban....you wouldn't want to know that package????

I think all GMs should listen to EVERY offer. NOBODY is untradeable....especially Subban....who is NOT a McDavid or Crosby...and there very well COULD be a decent deal that CAN be done.

Now, if they were actively shopping him....trying desperately to move him at all cost....then I see your point. But to listen to offers....WHY THE HECK WOULDN'T THEY????

There area couple things driving this bus...and I completely support Ek for reporting the rumors he is hearing ...

1. The GM and the Coach.
2. The Coach and the GM
3. Other teams believe they can take advantage of the GM because of his relationship with his Coach.

So, point 1. We have GM who has extended a coach who did nothing to warrant an extension. By doing that you are endorsing the coaches job across the board. You are endorsing his throwing players under the bus and giving up on the season because his goalie is injured.

Point 2. Both GM and coach have something else in common...they are French Canadians. PK is not. If PK's name was Pierre Kristobal I doubt he would have been on the coaches hit list. And the GM would not stand for his being targeted.

3. Other GM's smell blood in the water around the Habs and see the chance to take advantage of a GM whose own decision making is questionable. I am not saying he is as bad a GM as Mike Millbury, but he is showing the kind of illogical loyalty that leads to crazy trades and ruin organizations for years.

Hockeybuzz Ownership Has to Step Up And Stop This Malkin Trade Lunacy.

When superstars caliber players get traded, it very seldom benefits the team trading them. We know this all too well in MTL as it took at least 15 years to recover from the Roy trade because looking back, it was a poop deal. The offer for Subban will have to be absolutely non-refusable as in the 2 roster players, high end prospect and picks - range.

The Nashville observation is a joke right?

The Preds would trade Weber in a heartbeat if someone offered up a good return.

The Habs are listening, they should. Some team, like Edmonton, may offer up something that makes the Habs better. It would be dumb not to listen.

Whether or not Therien treats his players with respect is a whole 'nother story.

Subban won't be traded for one simple reason. Trades are hard.

What if they're a bad GM, but they're still taking calls?

What's happened to you? Have they run out of Koolaid?
- itwasin

Subban is great. No question. I think the team has to see what is out there before his NTC kicks in. They have a 9 mil cap hit for 6 years after. I don't think he should be insulted. I think there is a price for every player. This is a business more than an organization and they should be looking at what will let them put the best team possible for them on the ice each year. I don't think anyone will offer what Subban is worth as it is a lot but they need to at least take the calls. Subban has to know this. It is the nature of the business. Although I can't think of an example where a player of this caliber has been traded without the player requesting it, I still think that there is a price tag on everyone.

Completely agree here. What if Rutherford called and offered Malkin, Dumolin, Pouliot and next year's first? Obviously this would never happen, but what if he did and Bergevin wasn't listening to calls? GMs should at least be open to hearing what's offered. A team might offer something they can't pass up.

Rutherford would be drawn and quatered for that.

Heard a rumor that there were big discussions between Colorado and Montreal, maybe involving Subban. If that is the case, I would only accept Duschene, Barry and their 1st. And if Colorado do that, they are completely insane.

I think this makes the underlying point that trades are really hard to do. Nobody wants to make a mistake. You need at least one partner that needs to be courageous and another that needs to be ready to go along.

I do believe that Chiarelli has the courage to do a huge deal to bring Edmonton a #1 Dman. More important he has the assets to make it really hard to say no.

Subban and #9 (Dman) for Draisaitl and #4 (Dubois). You can add balancing pieces on either side to make it totally fair. But, I love the deal especially for Montreal.

As an anglophone who moved to Quebec, I think I can "sort of" relate to racism. (I don't pretend that it is anywhere near the real thing, but I think I can relate to how it feels to be judged/excluded/discriminated). I really loved the city years ago and elected to remain here and build a business, life, and family. All of the politics and social issues do weigh on me, that's for sure. I just think that this romanticized view of the Montreal Canadiens and their fans is way overblown. They're normal, passionate fans, in a city that is not quite up to par with a lot of north american sports teams' intelligent fan bases.

They chant a soccer song for god's sake.

You shouldn't be too worried, as the Liberals are now elected for life in this province. As for the rest, boo-hoo, cry me a (frank)ing river.

they have talked to 10 teams about him in the past week.
- Eklund

you have something this concrete and no rumors about it?

If GMTM strikes out on Stevie Stammer, I'd trade #8, Zemgus, maybe Pysyk or another sweetener, for PK all day.
- -JCDC-

Unless it's an offer you would consider for Eichel, don't propose it for PK.

No one wants girgs considering he is asking 3m. Pysyk I has minimal value. You basically just offered a 1st, 2nd, and 5th for Eichel.

Agreed about the bold part. As for your whining about how bad french people are intolerant or not as smart as the Green Bay Packers fans, it's just pure insecure whining.

Noble and romantic, but silly. The NHL is a business and should something come along that would make their team better they would be derelict in their duties to ignore it.

That doesn't help cap-wise from Edm's perspective. Instead of Draisaitl, it would have to be one of RNH, Hall, Eberle.

And I'm not sure why they would trade Draisaitl but keep the other three.

lol, that has absolutely nothing to do with my point but thanks for playing
