If you include Weber you're up to like 30%

That's insanity.
- BINGO!

Petry is 30 as well (wtf?)

Unless it's for Seguin or Benn.

No way Jose

This roster with Toews minus Galchenyuk would fail worse so I'm not sure what the question is

Thats insane to believe. I never for a second wanted to defend Toews. But he's still a far better player. Not to mention what he brings to a locker room. IMO if its lets have some tank seasons then why not blow it up and rebuild? Is that what fans would rather have? Players from the draft aren't likely to have immediate impacts. Not that it cant happen. But your just aging your vets quite a few years.

Playing limited minutes, out of position, Galchenyuk finished a whole point behind Toews this past season for more than half the cap hit and is 6 years younger

not a problem.

petry will be part of the package bringing back seabrook.

Seguin is a year from being a UFA.

Just looking at the roster... when did the D get so old?

You just want someone to mention Subban you bastard.

Exactly... Either sign Tavares, trade the 3rd overall for a good young C or just keep building... Why make things worse by adding another contract that smells bad?

Yup. You’re definitely a Tanner clone. Poking easy holes in your silly blog “rumour” that is based off a rumour from Ek isn’t trolling. It’s common sense.

I’m just saying we can chat civilly and I know that gets rare in some parts here. I’ll do it but I just would like the same in return. That’s all.

Galchenyuk hasn't played centre since he was 17.

So what, he's a 40 goal scorer and normally puts up mid 70 points per year. Re sign him to 10Mil for 8 years in a year. Don't forget that 10Mil/year now will become will 7Mil/year in like 4-5 years with the cap always going up

Seguin also won the 11th most faceoffs in the league at a 53%. I actually didnt think Seguin was that good in the dot.

The Habs have lots of youth on the wing and look like Mete, Juulsen, and Reilly are in to stay. But yes, let’s not add a fantastic C to go without Weber and Price to show them the way. Let’s lose for a couple more seasons and hope the kids turn out 2-3 years from the draft day.

I just don’t see how that works when you have Carey Price at he age he is now unless the theory is trade everyone and tank for years (which does not assure success either).

I’m thinking Tavares or stastny will REQUIRE massive overpayment to come to MTL and the odds are 30-1 or more. Paying for Toews or Seguin would be an improvement that likely helps the entire team fall better into place.

Great puck punnies and plenty of coke around the locker room, seems like a place he would enjoy.

Which would be far from a guarantee

I love how Claude J. would freak out if they traded for Seguin

- BINGO!

For what it's worth, the D will be younger next season including Juulsen, Mete, Rielly in there.

It will still suck but you know.... younger.

But the idea that Dallas wouldn't want to sign him for more than Benn is stupid. Dallas has to keep Seguin. Faksa isnt that good. Smillie said hes coming along. Wrong. Hes a 2 time 30 point guy. Hes a 3rd line center or a 2b,c at best.

Only thing I'd be scared would be that he's been really good with Benn so I don't know if he played all year with him. I could see a Drouin-Seguin- (Zadina or Svechnikov) in a year or 2
