Habs need to get rid of Domi, Byron, maybe and even Drouin...if Drouin stays he better produce or he's toast....bring in size on one wing...and an LD...perhaps Caufield will somehow make it through sooner rather than later.....no more small guys after Caufield....Anderson or Mantha would be interesting...Dunn too...then some sandpaper....or jump up in the draft and get a shooter/sniper

Bergevin is in the driver’s seat and generally, there are no leaks about what the Habs GM intends to do.


That is mostly because any free agent of consequence either do not want to come to Montreal, or are just interested in using a Montreal offer as leverage to get the same contract from a team that has less (likely state) taxes.

Also, is Domi a member of the Jets yet?

Question for Karine and all here:

There is always talk every year that Offer Sheets are so frowned upon around the league. People claim that GMs are fearful of retaliation or that their reputations will be damaged. Personally I think its a bunch of nonsense! Montreal has completed 10 trades since the Offer Sheet was matched, so at least SOME teams didn't seem to mind. Since the Canadiens were the most recent team to present an offer sheet:

Were there any rumors or whispers that teams wouldn't do business with Bergevin because of his offer to Aho?

What about Mete, Tatar and Gallagher? All smaller than 5 foot 11

Mete is an extremely useful asset and once he is signed will be very affordable. Gally is Gally. He should retire a Hab. Tatar is trade bait next year at deadline. The point is no more new small guys....

Really? we need Domi sulking on the wing? If he can be used to trade up in draft for a young shooting gun or get a stud LD he should go....Danault is on the bubble if he doesn't agree to be a 3C btw.....its a new day now that KK and Suzi have come of age......

I knew you'd come around and crumble to my excellent negotiating.

In my eyes Habs can explore moving the 2020 1st if the return makes sense both short and long term. The 2021 1st I can't trade without massive protections. The playoff run put the team in a positive light but this is still a team that should have missed the playoffs by a mile and went 0-4 against Detroit. Can't be trading potential high lotto picks like Ottawa or SJ. Too big a set back for a team that isn't proven

It's a shame you can only ride a 14 game point streak and lose with your 3rd string goaltender.

If they need to get rid of them, then they won't get much for them. Just read yourself and look at your wording.

They may have to trade Domi but you may want to calm down with the top LD.
