Best team since 1993 my fucking nutsack. The only thing this team has in common with the 90's Habs is inept management and trades they get hosed on. Bergevin and Therrien might as well be Houle and Tremblay if they pull the trigger on any more moves like this.

Ayyy lmao

I'm told this 3-way trade Nash-Ariz-Mtl took a few weeks to bring together.

This just keeps getting better. That's a lot of effort for three waived players and a guy who's been scratched all season.

Clearly somebody demanded that John Scott needed to be removed from the Pacific division one way or another...

JVR and Kadri seem to be locks with the team for a while. Lou's essentially saying the same thing about Kadri as he did with JVR. They're both not available, unless provided with An Offer He Can't Refuse.

Bozak's probably sticking around. I don't mind this at all now.

Report: Maple Leafs telling teams Van Riemsdyk not available, Kadri's price 'extremely high'

James van Riemsdyk is apparently part of the solution in Toronto.

Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman discussed the Maple Leafs winger's future on Sportsnet 590 The Fan radio Friday morning.

I think (the Maple Leafs) are a seller, but I wonder if that just means, you know, the unrestricted guys, or the guys that are short-term contracts. You know, Van Riemsdyk, I think other teams would love to get their hands on him. I've had a couple of teams tell me that they've asked and been told he's not available. So ... the price is very high for him.​

Van Riemsdyk is tied for the team lead in scoring with All-Star Leo Komarov. Both have 29 points. JVR, 27 in May, is under contract through 2017-18 at a salary of $5 million and a cap hit of $4.25 million. Now in his fourth season with Toronto after being acquired from the Philadelphia Flyers for Luke Schenn, Van Riemsdyk has 89 goals and 89 assists in 250 games in blue and white.

Friedman also discussed Maple Leafs center Nazem Kadri, whom the broadcaster recently talked at length about with Toronto general manager Lou Lamoriello.

"Based on comments Lamoriello made in that interview," Friedman said, "the price is extremely high for Kadri. If you want to take him off his hands, it's really going to cost you."

Finally, Friedman touched on Tyler Bozak's future.

You know, Bozak's a really interesting one. The hardest thing to find in this league are centers. Last year at the draft, they were not getting much for him. And they just say, we'll stay with him and see what happens under (head coach Mike) Babcock. He's had a great year. He's played really well. If you trade him, I look at it as you're going to be looking for him. OK, we traded Bozak, you know what we need, we need a guy who plays like Bozak. I think he's only going somewhere if the price is exceptional.​

Kadri's a restricted free agent at the end of the season, playing out a one-year deal worth $4.1 million. Bozak's signed through 2017-18 at a $4.2-million cap hit. He's third on the team in scoring with nine goals and 18 assists in 37 games.

TSN 690 Radio, they just keep repeating "John Scott is now a canadiens" and they giggle. They added a laugh track before the commercials.

Bibi will fall on the axe for all this.

Sucks for him since the team is simply devoid of actual talent and Bergevin is a below average GM who overly plays it safe.
 
Welcome, all Habs refugees! Welcome to Phoenix, where the weather is warm, the dollar is strong(ish) and you can live the life of anonymity!

If they trade AGally I'll go fucking nuclear. He's pretty much the only glimmer of hope for future.
As a Leaf fan, this sentence makes me smile so much. This must be the feeling Habs fans had when us Leaf fans still felt like Kadri was going to be awesome and not just the completely average and forgettable player he is now that Galchenyuk will soon become.
