Progression and development and high end additions to the prospect pool through the next 2 drafts and by finding new homes for #67, #6, #26 and #41 over the next 24 months... Steps in the right direction thats evident both on the ice and in the prospect ranks by the start of the 2020 season, that's what I'm looking for!

Yes, that's what i'm hoping for too. But a player you draft next year or the year after will be 4 years away from being an impact player on a cup contending team. So you still have to reach the cap floor for the next 4 years. Best way to do that is to get a bunch of bad contracts to be horrible as possible. Bobby ryan would be on my list lol.

I wouldn't go anything over 3 years and no contracts over 6 million... Ottawa will need to reach the cap floor too with the roster they'll be icing, so why give the Habs a really good assest to get rid of Ryan anyway?

Now they need to trade Pacioretty, or extend him right away. Next season is already a circus, can you imagine if they arrive at Golf tournament in September with status quo?

Selon Martin McGuire ça serait très surprenant qu'il reste à Montréal (dixit il y a deux jours).

Well they are rumoured to be packaging him with karlsson, which will reduce the package coming back. So it would work out to be the same.

They are trying to use the Karlsson trade to get rid of the Ryan contract in the process, it's a little different... To each his own, theres plenty other contacts around the league but I'd stay away from that one, the Lucic & Ladd contracts and a few others, unless the return is ridiculous but what are we realistically talking about here?

You know what all those guys have in common?

Attitude.

And yet, together, they have less talent than Galchenyuk.

Est-ce qu'il y aura de la place pour les prospects de l'organisation? Il me semble que ça commence à faire beaucoup de monde...

Je pense pas que ce soit un problème.

À date c'est 15A 12D et 3 gardiens.

Nice to see the Leafs have to go to their back-up plan.

They lost out on the Plekanec sweeps, had to back-peddle to find some center to fill the minutes and ended up overpaying with a big long-term contract.

Ils veulent vendre des billets. On garde nos choix et désolé, mais cette équipe là va perdre sur une base régulière et avoir un bon choix l'an prochain.

#Habs Bergevin says he expects UFA acquisition Matthew Peca to play in Montreal this coming season.


So Habs grab their top 2 centers in the Free Agency today.
