4 games into the season and the AVS fans are already over valuing their players and planning the parade route...What are they? Leafs fans south?

Eklund: BIG RUMOR. Should Habs Give Up Galchenyuk + Juulsen for Duchene+?
- Eklund


This deal is just bad enough for Bergevin to be all over it. But then again it's too good for Sakic to actually accept it.

Pretty sure Bergeron, as the Bruins first line centre, doesn't have the necessary autority to make that trade.

Is it april fools day? Of course this deal will never happen. Why would the avs think about trading a really good top line centre or at worst an amazing 2nd line centre for a centre who cant even make centre on the 4th line? Juulsen is an ok prospect but he's far from a sure thing to ever make the nhl. And whats all this mete stuff about? The kid as some potential and ill give it that hes a great skater but as a defensemen hes also one bodycheck away from a bodycast. I hope the kid does great ideally with a different team but he has a long ways to go. On any other team he would be in the minors but the habs are so desperate for D they have him playing on the first pairing. Weber must be thinking I went from cup contender to a full time babysitting gig!! I dont think the habs can put together an offer to land Duchene. Maybe they would consider drouin, juulsen and a 1st rounder.
Canadians fans need to wake up here on galchenyuk the boy has next to no trade value. Your only hope right now us a swap for another highly drafted player that has been playing terrible for a while or maybe a 4th round draft pick, 3rd if your lucky. Galchenyuk did show some promise early but was always over hyped by habs fans. The past couple years hes been horrid, he's lazy and looks like a boy playing with men. He always looks out of place and is never in position. Everyone gave poor Therrien such a hard time the way he was treating galchenyuk by putting him on the 3rd and 4th as he was surely a top line centre. Well I guess Julien is also a terrible stanley cup winning coach as I believe galchenyuk got one game on top line and then quickly went back where he belongs 3rd and 4th line greatness. Ive watched him some nights he doesnt deserve to be on that. And last off Ive seen a number of pro galchenyuk people on here saying how good he was before the knee injury and thats the only reason he's struggling right now so he still deserves great trade value? You do realize that knee injuries end careers sometimes before they have a chance to start. A bad knee is what ended arguably the best player to ever play "Bobby Orr's" career. You guys are talking about on here like he had a sprained pinky or the flu.
This article obviously has no truth to it, its just another canadians or leafs article that stirs up fan discussions with no substance. It did the job well for sure and got attention but obviously no sober non blindfolded habs fan would think theres a chance of this deal happening as wrote here. If so why not throw in mackinnon to why if were just giving away gifts!!

I would do this trade as a Hab fan. However, I would ask for a first rounder and relinquish a second rounder in return. Otherwise this 2-1 is too lopsided. Alex is in a mini slump, but don't forget he scored 30 goals on a lousy team less than two years ago. He had a bad knee injury and hasn't looked the same. He needs to play with talented players. He doesn't need coaches trying to mold him into something that he is not. Therrien, Julien (AHL) and Bergevin (NHL) were all pro defense men who had little offensive skill and thus favor a boring defensive style.

Julien was hired last Spring because he won a Cup FIVE years earlier and is French. He also had the Bruins out of the playoffs two years running. He was given a five year contract. FOR WHAT? That's how it works in Montreal and it's a shame. Noah is their best prospect now that they've traded their best to Tampa Bay. Their defense is weak. Getting a first in return might alleviate that. So my deal makes sense, the Hockey Buzz deal does not, at least from a Hab perspective. I'll say it again: Alex is a very talented player!

Are u sniffing glue or eating paint chips? Add a potential top 5 first round pick in the deal to balance it out? Come on now you have to be joking? I wouldnt personally trade a half sack of beers and a pack of darts for galchenyuk. You hab fans have to get off this galchenyuk cloud your on. He is worth no more then yakapov when he was traded last year. He has been absolutely terrible this year and last if you've watched any hockey at all. Plus he has a bum knee one of the worst injuries in hockey. He's been playing like a third line AHL player so unless Sakic recently suffered a head trauma you arent getting Duchene alone let alone a top 5 pick with it.
The first two players in the draft this year are franchise players a forward and defenseman and the defenseman is rated off the charts with potential and is considered as close as you will ever see to being a guarenteed franchise d man. You expect them to trade a 1st line centre for a 4th line winger with a bum knee and another unproven young dman that is dropping lower on the depth chart on a terrible d core of the habs and also has a bad injury. Its not christmas morning in montreal and his name is sakic not santa.
I strongly suggest you step away from the computer take a couple aspirin and get a good nights sleep. If you wake up and have similar delusions in the morning I strongly suggest you seek a physician immediately!!

Soft like Kyle Turris soft or soft like Charmin soft?
- Komisaurus Rex

Yeah turris is really soft - he battles through injuries and plays clutch in the playoffs against the toughest D men in the game - but because he doesn't send at least 1 guys through the glass a night he's soft

why every sens fan comments is stupid ?

Why the trade..cause Galchenyuk had a point a game before his injury, only 23, already has a 30 goal season, 3rd pick overall, impressive skills set....ya not much heart yet, but who know what a change of air could do to him ?

Not saying I would do it if I was Colorado...but I can understand the interest from a team that wont be in the playoff... Relax with the standings...its 4 games...

Edit and Oh yes, yo are loosing Duchene at the end of 2019

Is this a trick question? I didn't know the Sens had any fans.

That's not nearly enough to get Duchesne, so if it is at all possible to trade Juulsen and Galchenyuk for him...DO IT!

I'd be nervous for the Habs' trading yet another young D-man away, but the Galchenyuk experiment is getting old...the kid doesn't "want it", it's that simple. The silly pride of the Montreal Canadiens is the only reason that this is still a subject, they don't want to give up on their 3rd overall pick and publicly admit their mistake. Big deal, mistakes happen, you learn from it, grow stronger/smarter, and move on.

I hope nobody knows I dont really belong here as I dont know much about hockey Im more of a pokemon guy. Or 2nd you arent really the sharpest tool in the shed and reading isnt you strong suit.
