Really, Scabeh - you think Benning just pulled that one out of his arse?

I think it's much more likely Bergevin made the stupid mistake of not realizing just how dumb Jim Benning really is.
- Milk_Babchoc

I'm not doubting there were calls and interest from other teams because of his NTC starting july 1st.

I'm saying the Habs never really tried to trade him, they just listened in case something amazing came along, which didn't happen.

And there's a chance we still don't fully realize how dumb Benning is.

Really? I didn't notice that. Good for him!

I have 2 Anaheim Ducks friends who are decent hockey minds, decent, they are cheering for a Disney team after all

Anyhow, they said it's a total coin flip between Andersen and Gibson - difference is Gibson is younger and signed for next few seasons - and with expansion made 0 sense to keep Andersen who was going to get paid 4.5-5.5 to stay in ANA...he said they need the money to resign guys / add some forward talent.

so there it is

and how exactly are you getting trouba?

Notice only PK has the pictures . Maybe it doesnt go two ways and PK just has a man crush on Stamkos

this logic is flawed... If Vancouver was calling why would they even pick up the phone?? what do they have that they could offer for Subban??

Trouba.... I still think he could be one of the best out there at some point.

Well then....its settled.
- Fakepartofme

him and Vinny Lecavalier will bring the cup back to montreal



heard he's finally available too

yeah hes still super young - goona burst right out of that shell soon.

kinda hoping leafs go for Trouba or Shattenkirk if they don't get Stammer.

and how exactly are you getting trouba?
- Fakepartofme

???

Don't really know, thought I would leave that up to Lou.

Well then....its settled.

Yeah seems like a totally unbiased take as evidenced with his twitter description:

So what's he supposed to do? Not answer? That's kinda rude.

And Vancouver had the #5th overall pick which could have become Dubois.

And they have Horvat...

Horvat and the 5th wouldnt get it done..

And PLD went 3rd.. (horrible pick)

Lecavalier didn't join his childhood team even when the Habs offered the money, he chose Philly instead.

Kinda reminds me of another player who's in a similar situation these days.... what will he do.....?

Canucks really are in a world of hurt.

He'll follow those footsteps and not sign in Montreal

Horrible is a strong word.

PLD will be a very good player in the NHL, I'm sure of it.

I would have picked Puljujarvi as well.
