not a roomer, it's him playing GM and proposing trades that could make sense

wow I couldn't be any more surprised

Stop watching the Super Bowl half-time show.

Wouldn't be a bad trade for both teams...
- BashCH

Tells you NYI are looking for both F and D.... I've mentioned them as good destinations for both Tatar and Petry and they have a couple D prospects that should be of interest to Les Habs

wow I couldn't be any more surprised

I'm glad I have that kind of effect on you

Is Bellows good? How good?

Condition is if Pageau sign I guess.

from the article on The Athletic

The majority of the 31 teams have held their scouting meetings now, and with three weeks to go until the trade deadline, those preliminary conversations that have been happening between GMs start to take on more clarity.

This could be the week we start to see a sprinkling of moves although the closeness of the standings suggests the majority of them will still go closer to the Feb. 24 deadline.

So here I’ve put on my matchmaker hat. Based on some plausible scenarios, here’s a six-pack of trades that would make sense from my perspective.

The Blues cost to acquire Kreider made me puke a little... but I'm ok now!

Why the (frank) would anybody trust any Islanders 1st round prospects?

Ok because if he does not sign with the Islanders , all that Ottawa would get here for Pageau is Bellows.

Sens should sell high on Pageau while he's that hot.

How good is Bode Wilde gonna be in your opinion?

Did they draft Barzal? That was a good pick.

Yes, Beauvillier as well.

On any other team? Probably a good 4, but he's really boom/bust like Slater Koekoek. Haven't seen him in the AHL though and looks like he's struggling.

I would too but it's not happening

AHL numbers aren't great but its early.... would be a good add to the Habs prospect pool.... and Robin Salo too

- AdamFrench

euh... maybe because they were much much better than the Habs?

between 2008 and 2017, NYI got 13 1st round picks. 10 of them currently play in the NHL.
Habs : 3/9, 4/10 if you count Poehling

Jamie Benn is on pace for 41 pts..
