To the back of the line for awhile. There are good pieces. No point in selling off everything.

He's slow. But at least he makes horrible decisions with the puck.

I doubt I can make Rob happy. But then again, I'm not really trying to...

I held out as long as I could for the team, but I think I made some good points about ensuring you still keep your best core assets AND securing a top draft pick in the process. It is possible, imo.

Depends what Pacioretty wants on his next deal and how much someone is willing to give up for him

He will want $6M-$7M for sure. And he will get it.

Galchenyuk was a high pick not so long ago.

But yeah, I guess. Not sure why you mention Mitchell or Davidson, but ok.

All good. Just seems most of the Habs hockey talk out there is about firing ppl and guys personal lives like that will magically fix things. It's just TMZ-like that makes playing in MTL less appealing to UFA's, imo.

If they are rebuilding it makes sense to trade him. Not so much keeping him. Unless you think they can turn this in a short time, but I don't know.

Yep. And he will continue to score 30 goals per year. And he will continue to NOT perform in the playoffs. It's who he is.

Mulitple 30+ goal scorer... top 5 scorer in the past 5-6 years = north of 7,5M


He's also WOLVERINE!!

Yeah, I'm not sure people should speculate on what is going on with Price's life and whatever. Maybe because the team is losing, but I don't see how it helps to say I heard this from a guy who heard this from the mom of a guy who....

Don’t think anyone is giving high picks for Plekanec, Mitchell, Davidson or Alzner. I don’t see those guys being big pieces on any teams... they’re definitely not on their own team

Agree on the first 3.

Alzner was a top 4 in a very deep washington team.

If anything, his reputation will bring back a decent return.

This being said, I hate Alzner less than I hate Petry right now.
