Max is 29 years old and his goal total was cut in half last year. The price is way too high hear if the information is accurate. No thanks

I don't think he plays C in SJ... Josh Norris would be the guy I'd insist on

Yeah, that would be a problem. If he hasn't played at center the last 3 years, Bergevin needs someone else.

I would also prefer a high end prospect. I don't think there's a good fit between these 2 teams.

The info is anything but accurate. Max will score 30+ again this season, on a good team.

There's a fit for sure, Max Pacioretty for Josh Norris straight up! If he's extended SJ can add

This isn't the expansion draft, you're not getting a bargain.

Likely closer to 40 on a good team with a real C.

Make that 40+ if he plays with a half decent centre. He’s never had that luxury in Montreal.

I’d be calling Chia-pet and tell him the story of how well McJezus and Max would play together, going for the scoring title and the play-offs. Woohoo !!!

All that for the price of RNH. :-)

They don't need a first or a 2nd for next season, that is my point. You seem to think it's a problem short term while I don't. Picks or prospects should come back or a very young player. ROR was too old for the rebuild. Never mind trading away assets that they need for the rebuild.
- deadpoulet

(frank) picks. not interested in picks. young guys or near-ready prospects is what they should be looking at. generally when you're getting picks back as the main part of the deal, you've lost the deal.

I agree, I'd take the prospect over the picks

30 maybe next season if he is in the right situation, but what about the following years? 40+?? His highest ever total is 39. Max has been a good player, but he is not that elite. I’m not saying he isn’t worth acquiring for a team on the cusp of winning, but don’t over pay for a guy who is on the down turn.

Last 5 years: 10th in goals scored, 28th in pts including his poopty season.

1st rd pick, Girgensons/Larsson, Bailey/Baptiste

Final offer.
- ImThatGuy

I'd say Kotkaniemi and Poehling are more like 2-3
- obie

Maybe you never know with the prospects I am sure they will need more than a center in 2-3 years they have to rebuild their D as well.

well good thing is you have nothing to say in the process !

Still hoping a DG overpays for him !

Borgstrom plus a 1st?
- elcabong

That is crazy for Flordia to do they don't need to include the first rounder maybe something else. Besides MTL is dealing from a position of weakness they might have to wait fort he deadline or take what they can get as he is UFA next year and goes to FLA anyway

you would be lucky to get Borgstrom
- Symba007

A proven 30 goals scorer, a top 5 in goal scored the past 5 year can’t even fetch you a prospect who has played what, 4-5 games in the big league? I like Borgstrom but seriously?

Habs fans are getting worse than their own team, that’s a tour de force!

A position of weakness like Sakic last summer? I can live with that. 👍

Don't worry, we had to put up with that stuff when Kessel was still here...and he still gets pooped on. Something about American wingers that people just seem to not like.

pretty sure LAK are still active on Pach, trying to ink a deal maybe ? 3 potential kids that can be involve i guess

Kempe C (I doubt)

Vilardi C

Kupari C (Who make the most sens here, Finlandais !)


if you are GM of the LAK, what are you offering for Pach ? let's have fun

Vilardi being the obvious choice but it will cost more than Pacioretty

Pretty confident considering neither has played a game in this league, hope the organization isn't as optimistic as you are and think it has solved the problem at C, need to add at least 1 more

I love how the team drafts a guy third overall and you project him to be a #2 centre without ever seeing him play.

I have no idea what he'll end up being, but I sure as hell won't write him off being a #1 centre before seeing what he can do.

Nobody is writing him off, just need to add one more C, don't get too upset over it, it's too damn hot for that! And I have seen him play...

He is a Habs, he is done. Seems like the modus operandi of a lot of people lately, the same that were crying for a rebuild. Go figure...

Don't worry, nothing on this site can upset me.

But wouldn't you say if they dared draft him at #3 that they project him to be a #1 centre in the NHL? Wouldn't that make sense?

I've only seen him at the world junior, in which he played well enough. So I don't see why you'd pencil him more as a #2 except being a grumpy smurf.
