wouldn't surprised me one bit.
exactly in the same way of thinking, bringing in leadership.

goals would be nice though...

Ladd can score 20 + a year.

I take Weber a million times before Karlsson(right now, in 7 years..probably not), Weber is a complete D, physical. Karlsson is an amazing offensive D who struggles often in his zone.

Karlsson won't be with Ottawa in 3yrs...
- Symba007

In a game that's getting faster all the time, weber is going to start to struggling to keep up to the pace. Especially without Josi or suter beside him.

I live in Ottawa, sucks for the fans, hard to compete with an owner not wiling to spend to the cap
- Symba007

We have a 3 year window to try and make a run before Karlsson becomes the highest d-man in the NHL. It would be nice to add a reinforcement or two to do that, but alas, you can't go over that internal budget, even if it means you might get some playoff games.

I don't mind the trade but at the same time it doesn't really seem to do much. What's their cap hits respectively ?

9 for subban vs 7.8 for Weber.

Bergevin's plan is to build a team canada. Give him a bit of time.
- J-P

He has a goalie good enough and a D-man good enough, the rest of the team can't even make B squads.

The last game Weber played he looked like he belonged in the ECHL, and that was against San Jose, hardly a speedy team

Backes and Ladd. Probably manage to get both for 8-9/yr combined. Both are probably good for 15-25 goals and are big and "tough"... MBs direction it seems.
- nords21

oh I'd be very surprised if you can get both for 9M... will probably be closer to 12M IMO

unless they part with Plek....

2 years Tavares will come home to win a cup with his boyhood team



(frank) it's getting old just typing it.

Barring injuries, which could be common for his style/size. I dont think Gallagher gets enough credit. The rest of them a meh though.

I didn't dare to visit leafsland today, does Stamkos suck...now?

Hey! Good Steve Stamkos day to you my friend!

- Symba007

me neither, they would well deserve a or two, but I was afraid of the ban

What I like about this trade is that habseyesontheprice probably imploded at this point,reducing Berkshire and his crew of mongoloids to ashes.

Eller and Subban within a week.

Too bad DD is still on the books for this year...

So saves them a million, not really that much. Weird. Possibly all that stuff about being over the top was too much for them. I honestly don't get this trade from either side, weber is a few years older as well.

It's the same crap every year.

Almost as old as Ryder+Halak+2nd.

Seriously though, I think the Habs win this deal in the short term. Weber is better than PK right now. Long term, it's a big swing and a miss by Bergevin. That contract is ugly. From a Habs perspective, you have to hope the short term stretches out more than a season or two. It's already pretty well documented that Weber is already on the decline.

Over rated and over paid. Injury prone. Not a good leader. Looks Swedish.

a 30 goals scorer, a #1 goalie and a 2nd round pick that's almost a 1st rounder.....what's not to like

Hes older and he's signed for eternity. Not a great combo.

j'imagine que non parce que j'ai pas vu Montréal jouer.

This is the first time I thought there may have actually been a legit shot of it happening.

- nords21

I'm confident they will make room for a legit top 6 player or two. If they have to trade DD and or Emelin later on, so be it.
