As much of a giveaway machine the guy is... not sure I like that the Habs will now have to face him physically
- mlindsay

If he's traded to the Leafs, he instantly becomes a reliable top 4 guy that every team is looking for.

Not really, he is the one who will bring them the best return. Plek makes too much $$.

I think there could be an argument Emelin makes too much as well lol

Agreed, TurtlePlek is a serviceable player during the regular season but he completely disappears in the playoffs when things get rough.

He's in it for the $$$'s only ... not someone who will go to war for you. They probably never heard of the Stanley Cup where he comes from so hockey pride is not in his DNA.

No doubt he's overpaid for what he brings.

Best example is that Jordie Benn is just as effective at a fraction of the cost.

WHICH IS WHY WE PROTECTED THIS GREAT ASSET!

I can't wait to see these deals that would make Vegas take Emelin. Just a bit of a shocker to me, but it is better than losing Hudon

Crazy to me that Vegas is taking Emelin. I wonder if Bergeron paid them to take him
- Brandon Smillie

Patrice, Michel or Marc-André

there was never a chance they picked Hudon. they're building an NHL team.
not an AHL one.

which current bottom 6 forward do you trade to make room for him?
Byron? Shaw? Danault?

so maybe on the 4th line. Mitchell?
He'll fight with McCarron and Martinsen.

Fair enough. I fully expected a "you did but then you posted this so now you lose"

They also have to reach the cap floor.

DID ANYONE THINK OF THAT??

He should be on the team all day over a couple of those guys. But I have to write a few more blogs before I apply to Habs coaching staff and make things happen.
