and what about the 19M left ? he will spend it in trade or UFA... Svechnikov/Zadina ? MB have all the tools to really shift this team this summer... it start with the draft with 5 picks in the first 62 selections....maybe more if we get only pick in Pacioretty returns....

Galchenyuk had 1 point less than Toews playing way less and is 6 years younger at more than half the cost. That alone should be enough to tell you it's a bad idea!

Cash up for Tavares and hope for the best, if not it's tank city and that's still a better and quicker way to build a winner than trading for Toews... I wouldn't trade Jordie Benn for Toews straight up, it's a trap!!

That said, Seguin for Karlsson straight up lol
- mgriffen

Needs to be a 5 way deal involving Seguin, Karlsson, Doughty, Toews, and Weber imo

Right, true enough. Maybe some conditional poop in the event he signs with them.
- mgriffen


Only way Seguin makes sense is if Pacioretty goes the other way with a couple picks... 2 expiring contracts

Doesn't seem to make much sense for Dallas does it? Assuming the picks are conditional, would be too much to gamble.

No it doesn't make sense for Dallas and Montreal can't afford to throw in any prospects to sweeten the deal

Awe man, Toews to Montreal, Malkin to Chicago to be the man, Tavares to Penguins

imagine if a Toews deal happen and they land Tavares... make your line just for fun and don't tell me it's a bad idea ? if you don't get JT you still have the option to bring other UFA or making other trades with the cap space...

Drouin - Tavares - Gallagher
UFA/3rd pick/Scherbak - Toews - Lehkonen
Byron - Danault - Hudon
Deslauriers - DLR - Shaw

i know i'm such a dreamer lol

It's impossible to fit both Toews and Tavares under the cap at the same time, unless you trade Price and/or Weber for nothing.

Trade Byron and the 35th pick for an early 20's pick and draft Thomas, Dellandrea or McLeod

Sign Tavares and Plekanec

Pacioretty Tavares Zadina
Drouin Galchenyuk Gallagher
Lehkonen Danault Scherbak
Rychel Plekanec Shaw

...I like that better

Galchenyuk at Center ? the 2 most important thing for a C in this league is to be strong enough in faceoffs and have good positioning all the time... he struggle in both... i know he's still young but i prefer him better on the wing

With Tavares in front of him Galchenyuk would be allowed to become what he was always meant to be, a good offensive 2nd like C. He wouldn't have to play the other top units and wouldn't be relied upon to take the big draws...

If the Habs do trade for Toews, they will be the owners of two of the worst contracts in the NHL. Habs need to blow it up.

Should maybe ask Toews first before wasting 3 months and finding out he won't go to MTL

Sorry but Tavares ain’t coming to Montreal. Terrible NHL roster. Weak farm system. High taxes.

Until he signs anywhere else it's a possibility, no point in pretending you know where the man wants to play hockey

Well might not know where he wants to play, but I'm pretty sure we know where the man won't want to play
