While complaining like he is yelling at kids to get off his lawn, Gramps said:
FFS. we are all over the place
Isn’t it exciting!
Depending on how the draft unfolds, I expect 1 of those 1st round picks and a prospect (and some other picks, perhaps) to be traded for help.
But I also would not be surprised to see the Habs try to move up in the draft if someone they like falls.
Kick emphatically stated:
i’m a little confused about why there are 2 different places to leave comments anyway. would it maybe be better if they streamlined it into one place for comments on each blog? maybe it’s something they’re already working on changing. or i might just be misunderstanding why it’s set up like that.
I think you are playing in Pat’s sandbox….
EDIT: Need to carry over the small jokes, just getting them started.

HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY GLORY!!!
EDIT: Oh yeah, have a good vacation, I guess…. 😉
Fido pondered:
alright, time to for serious business. assuming Bennett will remain in FLA or will be too expensive, my #1 target is Larkin in DET. GO HUGO GO!
He has a full NTC.
I am just not sure there is a top 2 center available out there (potentially willing to waive to go to the Habs), or a developing younger player that does not carry significant risk (turn into another Dach / Newhook scenario).
Gonna be interesting to see what they actually do, but I am not sure how much magic Hugues and Gorton have in them to make something like Larkin happen.
Kick suggested:
quiet day. i think maybe we should start a party or something.
I already got HR on hold….
Pat exclaimed:
yeah, just looked at that contract again, it’s already pretty bad and it isn’t going to get better lol
Yeah, $10.5 for 50-ish points (60 in a good year) until 2029/30 (5 more years).
And he is already 32.
I mean, good for him, but no one wants that contract.
Pat made an interesting observation:
in the last 6 years Corey Perry was in the cup final for 5 of them, without winning once… tabarnak loll
Reminds me of Hossa.
He was traded to the the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2008, who lost in the finals to the Red Wings.
The next year, he signed as a free Agent with the Wings, who then lost in the final to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
I think he ended up winning 2-3 cups with the Hawks later on, but that free agency / swap teams / “if you cannot beat them, join them” mentality to win a cup and failed, always cracked me up.
Also, good on Perry. He has played a lot of hockey at the end of his career still chasing another cup.
Pat sarcastically exclaimed:
if the Flames add Dustin Wolf, it’s a deal I’d consider
I’d settle for Rasmus Anderson… and they can keep Huberdeau.
