agree. but we don't have a ton to trade with. not a lot of prospects. and UFA is always hard for Montreal. as long as Montreal does SOMETHING to improve the top-6. if they go into the season with Gallagher and Gionta as op 6 wingers, that's an astounding fail on Marc Bergevin's part.

I'm on the (frank)-Vanek Team but I do agree it's better signing him than nothing. To each his own, but he was the most infuriating Hab to me.

If this trade can be had, I'd hope for a Pateryn, 1st and Gorges for Gudbranson and a 3rd?

Emelin-Subban
Markov-Gudbranson
Tinordi-Beaulieu
Bouillon/Weaver-Drewiske

I know the bottom 4 isn't inspiring but the minutes that top 4 can eat up, not sure it's really such a big deal. As for the argument of getting a forward, look at the amount of teams lining up for the Spezza, Kesler, Stasny sweeps. Someone comes out a loser there and Montreal has too many centers...

Wisnewski's rights were traded after the draft if I remember well.

not much use to that now, since UFAs can talk with any team they want since yesterday.

What are the odds of seeing Bergevin making an offer to Statsny?

Why not?

It's like trading with Garth Snow. Everyone should be willing to do it, you can't lose.

I just think he's going to be good. Not sure how good, and part of that may depend on him and the attitude that you mentioned. But I'd like him to stay.
- hscesq

It all depends on the return. Gudbranson is alreay a NHL D. He's bigger, more physical, he can fight and he has the potential to chip on offense. It's not like you are getting Komisarek in return.

Would be sexy but I think he should go after Iginla instead. Double win with screwing over Boston.

Vanek made it clear from the start he was going to UFA.
- DoubleDown

He should have tried harder in the playoffs. Nothing like giving zero effort on the biggest stage to lower your value. At least he has that stellar Olympic performance to fall back on.

he's already been banned 7 games and 10 games. given that i thought this was going to be more. unless the 9 game ban can carry over to future international games.

Yep. He didn't try. He made no effort. He said "I'm not trying in these here playoffs. So there!!!"
