Trades and Potential Trades

Whats old, rusty and at the bottom of the Atlantic?

if you said the Titanic or the Montreal Canadiens you are correct!

 

B000000000MMMM! Br00nz fan gettin' feisty.

 

can the habs deal price? i don't know if he's locked up for a while?

 

8 years

 

^^ oh christ. they're stuck with him for that long? might as well be the anchor of the Titanic.

 

They just locked him up this past July.

 

just wait until the Price and Weber deals really turn old and ripe.

 

I would trade freddie and jvr for price.

 

JVR still has value? wow.

 

He scored 29 goals last year.

 

I would if I were Toronto too but the Leafs are in a different spot than the Habs.
Habs are bad now and those deals will only hurt more and more as the players age. Weber 's contract will be terrible unless they find a way to get out from under it like the Hawks with Hossa.

 

True, they really need to unload weber for youngsters and picks, fast.

 

Yeah, but are Montreal fans willing to put up with the implicit message when a team makes that kind of trade? (The team has to admit they're rebuilding.) A couple of years ago when the wheels completely fell off that team after a hot start, there were seats - a lot of seats - that went unsold (or at least unused) in Montreal. Are Habs fans too spoiled? Or, do they have a sense of entitlement about their team?

They may be damned if they do and damned if they don't.

 

The habs could afford to rebuild, there's already a movement getting started by a famous local talk show host.

The snobby entitled fans have to know whats best, or screw them.

Merc, sorry if you're reading this, you have to admit, the writings on the wall.

 

Kings Acquire Jussi Jokinen from Oilers for Mike Cammalleri...

Camel Larry is a fine hockey player... Oilers win this trade.

 

Devils trade Henrique and Blandisi for Sami Vatanen, picks involved as well.

 

Early returns show the devils getting fleeced. It is always nice to see a defensemen who can pass, but when he is on your team and watch him every game, his talent can get in the way. -2 on the night playing 20+ minutes. Henrique with a PP goal.

rumors are now that Wayne Simmonds will be traded by the February deadline, if not sooner to shake up the Flyers. He's a FA in 2 yrs and will want a hefty raise. Like HBOB always said - he has a ton of value and can bring it back via a trade to a team that desperately NEEDS IT !

 

Henrique will really help Anaheim, especially now that Rackell is out too.
Once they get RR and Kesler back they can move Henrique down to a 3rd line pivot spot and use him on special teams. Still strong on the blueline even without Vatanen.
Anaheim has been a C- hair away for a few years now, this could be the one.

 

With Gibson playing well and Rakell back to practicing, I love this early trade. If the Quack Quacks make the play-offs, they could be dangerous.
