That's all I do anymore is hope, but I hope he does too.

depressing....and there is no "saviour" on the way either

kind of impressive that he's a +5 on this abomination of a hockey team.

I saw that in the TSN article. Thought it was a misprint.

perhaps but if i had my choice, it would be Simon. ideally you want Negan but his game is baseball.

So Smillie, in your opinion if they hypothetically went into seller mode right now (never ever going to happen) what kind of returns do you think we d get for our expendable assets?

It really would depend on the buyers and market but I would be looking to move Plekanec, Shaw, Benn, and Niemi.

I would entertain offers for Pacioretty as well.

As far as return it’s hard to speculate without having one (or 20) people tell you how stupid you are, but I would shoot for 2nd + for Plek and Shaw. 3rd rdr for Benn, and anything for Niemi.

But sometimes GM’s trade a crazy amount for a role player assuming their finishing top 4 in the final league standings so they move their 1st to make a deal happen.

Not saying anyone I mentioned would draw that return but that’s also why sellers let thing go down to the trade deadline wire, just in case a rival gets panicky.

Well, they need a direction and to build around something. No need to move a guy like Gallagher for example, but I'm not attached to most of the players.

But I think the guys that Smillie named are the ones who could move. Pacioretty is a big if.

Getting anything for Niemi is a tall ask considering he went through waivers twice this year.

i think it's the perfect time to move Gallagher. his value will never be higher. but i'm talking about a scenario where you're doing a major sell off. if you're keeping Price, Weber, etc. because this group is just ONE PIECE AWAY!!!!! then no sense moving Gallagher.

Not sure who'd offer anything for a small, 35 year old center coming off a 28 point season.

if Habs retain 50% they'll get a good pick
