I know we're not in "Edmonton territory" yet, but I feel like the short term pain has been here for a while now lol...


anyways I'm not against any kind of trade if it's for the greater good, I'm just a bit skeptical about trading a player that's actually having success here

I know the overall picture looking back is a (frank)ing mess, I look at the Pacioretty trade as the turning point... and the next steps after dealing Patches, is Petry and Tatar... the plan has a much better chance of unfolding if they actually stick to it, not trading those 2 goes against the grain right now

not if you trade Petry and Tatar. both would then ask for a trade this June.
that would then be a full rebuild, and many more years of great draft picks

After you get the return on Price, Weber, Petry, Tatar, Domi & Kovalchuck + a top 10 pick in this draft and add it to this prospect pool, your rebuild is pretty much done

oh sure, but it will take another 3-4 years before they start making the playoffs, so more good drafts coming up!

I'd rather watch 2-3 years of a young core progressing to a playoff spot than this same old song and dance

OK.... but what would be your lineup for the rest of the season and the year after?

plus: if in 5 years of rebuild, you finallym realise your propects were not what you though they would be? also, you need a certain amount of veterans to show the way on the ice.

the habs needs to move players with a certain value to others and not much to us. I would trade tatar, only if we get a better player in a package, not for picks.

no no no !!!!

they need to trade everyone over 28, every (frank)in one of them.
it's a receipe sure to succeed. just take a look around the league, there are plenty of great examples.

You would trade Tatar for a better player? A better player how? Tatar & Petry returns would be based on potential, not established talent... those would be sideways moves

tatar was traded once already for an established player

tatar was raded once already for an established player
- mr.peanut

But the team trading him was in a much different situation, what's your point? He was also traded for a 1st, 2nd & 3rd a few months earlier

No no no!!!

he would indeed become one of their best.
righthanded, used to score 25-30 while leading in hits, until last year when he was injured. buy low.
but you're right, at 26 he is way too old.

my point it is not impossible he gets traded for only picks and prospects

It is a bit old but those 18 goals in the last 120 games played, I mean how can you pass up such a sniper

- pidesd

a better player than tatar?

1 pt per game player. there are not many and you have to pay for them

my point it is not impossible he gets traded for only picks and prospects
- mr.peanut

What? 😆😆

It's not impossible he gets moved for only potential? No, of course not, it's all the Habs would be looking for unless a player was a salary dump
