Bonjour

It goes without saying but the two 2nd round picks they had in hand were another way of adding skill.

Andrew Shaw. I really, really don't get it.

between 2017-2018 i think Bergevin has 5 second rounders now. that's why i was surprised he didn't trade back into the second round once or even twice. i guess he's saving them to pick up a bottom 6 grinder at TDL if the team needs some scoring punch.

Maybe a good pick up but you don't trade two top-60 picks for a 3rd liner IMO.
- Not_Yan

But they also got two seconds back....didn't they?

He's a very good third liner that can step up on the second line in key situations.
Not sure he will give you the points output you would expect of a second line guy over 82 games.

only part of the Eller trade that made me sad is that it signals that Desharnais will still have a major role on this team next year. at center.

He's a proven playoff performer at 24. Now, that's not relevant, as the Habs won't be making the playoffs. But the point still stands.

Well, that's what some folks wanted, and that is what they will get.

Absolutely they did Mr Howard

While that seems like a long time from now, it's not.

We could really use Scherbak's -30 this year...

I hope that dude bounce back this year.

$4M per season for Andrew Shaw?????? Are you kidding me???

That is a disgusting overpayment for a guy who'll contribute 25 points per year. This team is in big trouble

U have gained weight..

If Price stay healthy they will make the playoffs and Knock out the Bruins in round 1 but will lose to Eller and caps in round 2.

Salut mon ami! Comment va la vie?

While that seems like a long time from now, it's not.
- hscesq

but he gave away the two he had in hand this year to do it.

I hope that dude bounce back this year.
- deadpoulet

yeah. he's it. he's the one hope in the organization to fill a top 6 role. Hudon/McCarron seem like bottom 6 guys.

Fantastique! Nous avons apprécié un bon week-end et est allé à Hersheypark vendredi. et vous?

While that seems like a long time from now, it's not.
- hscesq

But it's the capital's so likely a 55-60 pick, they gave 39 and 45.

He played top six minutes with Chicago. I'm sure he can do that here as well.

can't believe a GM would mortgage the present for the future

what an idiot!!

those picks will get traded. after 4 years Bergevin is getting to the point where picks aren't going to matter that much because if he doesn't deliver a Cup in the near future, he likely won't be around when those prospects mature.
