We'll flip you Ranger.

Great veteran defenceman, great makeup artist.

Hey, you want to hear stupid comments?

Last night in between periods, Darren Eliot said that "Brian Campbell would look good in a Red Wings jersey."

Brian Campbell WOULD look awesome in a Wings jersey, especially if they had to trade somebody like Tatar or Nyquist to get him.

We should have moved Eller last year if we were gonna move him. You know, when people were actually calling about him? Now his return will be a pittance.

On the upside, Eller gone forces AGally to centre. HNNNNNGGG.

I'd rather Desharnais going forces AGally to centre. That's the spot he should be occupying, Eller can continue playing in a shutdown role, DD can't.

I don't know why I'm even paying attention with hope for something to happen. I'm hopeful we can get a good D-man since we need one but I don't want to give up what it will take to get one. Though with all these injuries we probably will start slowly going downhill if we don't get some much needed help.

I hate DD probably more than anyone lol, but........he's producing and Eller has regressed this season post-injury.

Yeah but I think you can easily replace DD with Galchenyuk on that line and he's at least as effective, while Eller can continue on the third line.

If we trade Eller, then you only have Plekanec left as a good defensive centre. Eller's been a black hole on offense this season, but he's still doing something when he's not scoring, unlike DD. Of course Desharnais is probably untradeable at this point still.

All true, but I've given up on the DD trade/line demotion dream at this point. If they flip Larry, our centre situation for the remainder of the season would probably be:

1: DD
2: Pleky
3: AGally
4: White

Then hopefully next season AGally steals DD's job.

If they do trade Eller, it had better be for a winger.

Hmm, just saw a Brooks report from earlier this morning that the Rangers have gotten several calls about Brian Boyle.

TSN guys saying 70-80% chance Wings miss the playoffs.

They're seriously overrating us. We have no centers. 90+% we miss the playoffs right now.

Oh great, now I feel even more depressed. Oh, and we'll have to listen to everyone say, "I told you this was the year!". Yet completely ignore the fact that half our team has been injured for the entire season.

I'm still worried about giving up on Eller too early. I know he's had a couple seasons under his belt now, but I think he's more like last season, than this.

Oh I haven't given up on Eller. But as long as MT is our coach, he's never going to flourish.

Amazing how some players just don't fit into a coach's plans or system, Eller might be great someplace else, but like you said the Habs are selling low if they deal him.

What's the take on MT? Is he there for the long haul in Montreal or will he be on the hot seat if the team flounders down the stretch?

When your slowest center is on your first line, that's a major problem.

Told you so.

I kid, I kid. Seriously, though, the fact that Babcock/Holland took FOREVER to start benching the old guys and bring up the young guys is just as much to blame as the injuries.

MT's likely going to get them into the playoffs again, so he'll be around next season. Him and Bergevin are friends (ugh), so it's a situation eerily similar to Burke/Wilson.

My gut tells me that, just like what happened in Toronto, Bergevin won't fire MT until his own job is on the line too.

So basically the Leafs want hockey trades. No rentals, and no giving up players for picks.

I guess we'll just go with what we have. No problem with that. No need to start blowing your load on rentals.

The injuries have been the real killer though, but yeah the old guys playing until halfway through they year hurt too.

What a novel concept, not selling your team out from under you.
