I haven't gone for a run since thursday because of my ankle. Hopefully I can go tomorrow.

Good to hear you're back on track

He'll be over 33 when his deal expires, so he'll be close to 39 when a 5 year deal expires... still funny that out of all that, your only argument is about 14-15 months!!

What about more than half the cap spent on an old core that failed in their prime?

And he's gonna get 6 anyway
- obie

because there's no problem with the rest mon ami.

for the 14 months for Petry, not your best argument. that's really all you've got? you put him 14 months too old and you blame me?

as for the cap, half of it for your 'star' G, your 2 best dmen and your top line. doesn't look to be a problem imo. you expect to pay the others the same amount of money?!? (and btw, you know I would trade Price tomorrow morning if I could, so don't play the guy who didn't know)

the problem with this team is not the core, it's the remaining players. didn't we read here, on this site, that Tatar Danault Gallagher is one of the best line in the league at 5 on 5?
if so, 1- why trade any of them and 2- up to the others to perform as well, like Drouin, Domi, and all the kids who are not yet ready. that's where MB and Timmins (frank)ed up. nothing coming up the pipe for years creating a hole between Gallagher and kk.

i started out small just to get everything loosened up and my left hammy instantly tightened up anyway. i'm like a 70 year old man sometimes.

if we were standing together in a museum looking at a 7 foot tall painting of a vagina i am still a bigger pussy than that vagina. but i'm gonna power through.

it's also 43 american degrees (i think that's -2763 up there). that probably doesn't help either, huh?

By bringing up Danault, Gallagher and Tatar against other teams top players, you're pulling a pistol out on a guy with a cannon


We're just going around in circles bud, different opinions I get it... if it means anything to you, you're most likely to get your wish of ongoing mediocrity than I am of building a real strong team for 2-3 years down the road

Yea because some have failed, all others will too...

Building through the draft and acquiring good young players doesn't work, you're right

nope

well i'm going at least 2 more days this week whether that hamstring likes it or not.

some?

and btw, building through the draft doesn't mean trading eveyone over 28.

Worked pretty good for the Hawks not so long ago... the Pens did ok too... Caps... the up and coming Avalanche drafted a pretty good team, as did Philly... Tampa is pretty much built through the draft.... Canucks turned it around pretty quickly mostly through drafting

I'm not sure if you're really arguing that building through the draft is a bad idea here! Are you 1991 Cliff Fletcher or something? Even he eventually realized it wasn't such a bad idea after all

I said Petry and Tatar, does that translate to everyone in french?

but the Caps shoud have traded Ovi long time ago no? I mean, he's way too old. need to cash in and get some top propects and picks while he's still good.
can't wait for the Habs to draft the next Crosby and Malkin.

and both these teams signed top UFAs not something Habs can do. so be serious.

the only UFAs Habs can sign are already on the team, Tatar and Petry.
and if you want to build through the draft, start by firind that bumhole named Timmins.

You're not even making any (frank)ing sense man! When Ovy was that age they were winning president trophies and challenging for the cup.... Habs are finishing bottom 10 for the 3rd straight year and you're comparing the two, you should get some help Fido

And Tatar is not exactly Alex (frank)ing Ovechkin is he now??

Caps never did anything in the playoffs, they failed every year often in the first round. it was a running gag, Ovi the choker not able to bring his team to the cup... only 2 years ago did they finaly succeed, mainly because of the coach. get real man.

Better than finishing 27th in the NHL, they were a young team trying to find their way and the right recipe, while having the unfortunate task of having to get by Crosby, Malkin and the mighty Pens every year... I'd rather be that Caps team on the cusp or searching for the few final pieces than be in the current situation Montreal finds themselves in, year after year after year

But I'm sure once Petry and Tatar are older and making more money it's all gonna come together

you give me examples of teams who build through the draft and you come up with teams who were lucky enough to draft Crosby and Ovi... com'on
it took 15 years after the draft for Ovi to win a cup. 15.
and kk is not Ovi. and he's not Crosby either.

You're not gettimg a cup guarantee no matter what you do, you know that.... but you can try to improve your chances at being in the conversation for a long period of time by building a team that will peak at around the same time

Nobody.... but a core of Price, Weber, Petry & Tatar should do it!

if well surrounded yes they could, just as much as BOS or STL did.
but with Chiarot, Domi and Byron... no, not a chance.
