I've been arguing for your team the last half an hour. LOL, I don't even particularly like them I'm just bored as hell and decided I needed to do more research on them as a whole.

Came out impressed.
- Canadian kid

Still dont see what you really like about that defense and young unproven goalie ,but ill give you the forwards

Sink or swim time for him for sure
- top shelf 15

They owe him a no BS, full year in the NHL. I still think he'll surprise some people if given the shot.

Kane for Bourque + Gionta + Ellis and a 1st
- mikehopfhab81

you wouldnt get kane's jock strap for that package.

typical habs fan, lets keep our good assets, and package up our crappy ones for a star player. if you want kane, subban or galchenyuk is in the package.

Problem is after St. louis and Stamkos, they really got nothing.
- Panthers88

Connolly?

Explain how Toronto is any better than Montreal right now please.
- OrangeKrush

*Cough*

How about the Leafs signing and taking a chance on Peter Mueller... Would probably come cheap, could have the potential to be a number one center, only 24, capable of becoming a ppg player if he could stay healthy...

JVR/Mueller/Kessel, could be a respectable young line..
- ThePresident

#1 center? If only he were a center.

They owe him a no BS, full year in the NHL. I still think he'll surprise some people if given the shot.
- clarkysduster

Yep he should have been in last year ,IMHO

Connolly?
- I-own_da-Northwest

connolly
malone
purcell
lecavalier
JT brown
pouliot

I'm going to be honest, I don't know much about the Hab's prospects. I just think most people would see Gionta and Bourque as boarderline cap dumps.
- clarkysduster

I follow the prospects pretty diligently and honestly I dont see any NHL player out there that I would give up more than 2 of those prospects to aquire them

our roster MOST LIKELY will begin the season as:

purcell stamkos st. louis
malone lecavalier brown
pouliot pyatt connolly
tyrell thompson hall

hedman carle
salo brewer
lee mikkelson
aulie MAB

Lindback
Garon

easily a top team in the East... we replaced gervais, clark with salo and carle FAR upgrade... we traded for aulie/mikkelson/lee at the deadline last yr so we will have them all yr this yr. throw pouliot into the mix. another yr older connolly. JT brown there for the whole yr. a healthy dana tyrell. replaced roloson with lindback.this roster is better than the one that took us a game away from the finals.
- boltsfan48

Could be top in the division, but I suspect Pits, NYR and Bos will have something to say about top in the East.

- sensnucksnocups

I think i would do Subban we have the D coming....Subban and a 2nd for Kane

connolly
malone
purcell
lecavalier
JT brown
pouliot
- boltsfan48

Cant say much about any of those other than lecavlier and malone ,everybody can throw out a bunch of young players

If they offered parise that giroux should ask for at least 150
- Genev21

Not a very good comparison considering Parise has consistently performed at that level whereas Giroux has only had 2 really good seasons.

#1 center? If only he were a center.
- Tuke17

Umm... He is originally

First line is nice but when you compare the rest of the roster to the top teams in the East it just doesn't even compare ...Tampa will do well but aren't close to being a top contender

Problem is after St. louis and Stamkos, they really got nothing.
- Panthers88

2013 year end results
NYR
Bos
Pits
Phil
Was
Buff
Ott
Car
Tamp
Flor
NJD
Mon
Nyi
Win
Toronto

any package for kane would start with plekanec. plekanec, bourque/eller, weber and a 1st

edit: on second thought beaulieu or ellis too in there

- keatondixon

That top 4 on that blueline is gonna hold them back ,just not solid enough .They may make the playoffs but i cant see them as a top team in the east

I think i would do Subban we have the D coming....Subban and a 2nd for Kane
- mikehopfhab81

We're talking about E.Kane, right?
The value isn't bad at all, but Defense is one of Winnie's strengths, no?

And then we draft mcKinnon......jam!

Cant say much about any of those other than lecavlier and malone ,everybody can throw out a bunch of young players
- top shelf 15

purcell 24 G 41 A 65 PTS +9 last season
Connolly was a rookie 4 G 11 A 15PTS
JT brown was the top FA college player last season.
pouliot had like 32 pts for bos last yr. but he will be on our third line.

5 out of our top 6 scored over 20 goals last yr. brown will be the 6th

And then we draft mcKinnon......jam!
- Gorback

Yeah, it's either playoffs or last at this point.

- clarkysduster

You still havint explained your reasons Toronto is so much better than Montreal? I'd like to hear that...
