There's your problem.

Toews isn't a Fantastic C.

His production the last 5 years:
68
66
58
58
52

That's a steady pattern of decline since he turned 25. TWENTY FIVE!
- BINGO!

Poor Brandon.

Some people are calling him crazy because there's no way we're getting Toews for so little.

Others sare calling the idea of acquiring Toews in the first place the worst idea since Pepsi blue.

Ya can't win buddy.

Absolutely not... No scenario is a good one if Toews is involved, you remember Scott Gomez??

Hate those guys.

bergy will overpay for a declining player.

that was easy.

His interest was at it's peak

If you view any kind of bright side for the Habs you’re vilified. No biggie. I just think of stuff and write it no matter what side of the perceived fence I’m on.

The Habs shouldn’t do that deal straight up but should the Hawks offer Toews and #8th overall for Galchenyuk and Chicago’s own 2nd back I (a Galchenyuk fan) would be hard pressed to turn it down.

Wow.

I do

Different story.

Toews would never waive his full NMC for the Habs.
- Iggysbff

Good. Not worth 10.5 millions.

Ppg pace is always around 0.80 aside from last years 0.70. Still very valuable and Chicago has an off year. He should still see .80ppg production with Drouin/Pacioretty/Gallagher imo.

Yea cause Kane and Panarin aren't very good

Two teams with terrible centre's and no centre's in their prospect pools making a trade involving a centre. Seems legit

I didn’t say that

Wow.

i literally cant

Wow.

Yeah, fully agree with you, Chicago should add

Seems to be a hot topic right now no?

Wow.

Hey keep it classy.

Ok, so Dallas is already locked into terrible deals for Hanzal ($4.7 per for 2 more seasons), Bishop (Shade under $5 per for 5 more seasons), Spezza ($7.5 per for 1 more season), and Radulov ($6.25 per for 4 more).

How is Radulov's contract a terrible one? 72 points is excellent production for 6.25.

Didn't play with either.

- MaximumBone

Radulov's contract is fine for the first 4 years.

The last 2 when he's 36-37 may be a tough pill to swallow.

Not the worst contract around at all.

Yeah, that's a good deal.

- AdamFrench

Cause he can't keep up

Surprised you didnt mention Zibbanejad as an option

Not on the level of Toews or Seguin but much more realistic option imo
