Wingers are the least of your worries mate. Your prospect group is fantastic, just need to get more great defencemen.

The Sergeant(Sergachev) is gonna be good too
That's not the point. Not trading Rielly for Hall if it were on the table would be almost as bad as trading Hall for Larsson just because the Oil need D help. It's a huge mismatch in talent.

Who would you have playing first line D if you trade Rielly?

The Provessor will be better!!!!!!

I do agree it's a mismatch, though, one could argue that there wasn't much else the Oilers could do. There was the Subban rumour, but apparently Bergevin asked for too much and the Oilers GTFO.

Ladd is a good option, as long as it's like 4 years or something
I think MTL will be Targeting a Defenceman too.

MTL might not have the cap space to get anything other than a 3rd or 4th line Dman, they just traded away a top-tier offensive Dman in Subban.

We can offload Emelin. Someone has to be looking for a bottom Defenceman and what better day to do it when his NTC expires tomorrow.
Desharnais might get some calls but it's better to buy him out TBH either this July 1st or next season
As long as Lucic stays the fuck away in the western conference I don't care too much if he goes to Edmonton or Dallas.
Also there are a few rumblings on twitter that the leafs haven't elected to buy out Cowen yet, which if true is strange but there is the second buyout period later on.

Can they still trade him to get bought out by someone else? Now that Stamkos is out of the picture they don't really need the cap credit.

I just that saw nhl.com lists him as a free agent so honestly I don't even know. I wonder if it is just Lou being Lou
This better be a bunch of baloney. We already have a possession black hole D-man in Hunwick.
are you? hey enjoy this beautiful city friend, go eat a poutine at la banquise
if you were joking, i'm just slightly drunk so try that

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Custance: Detroit won't do anything tomorrow.
McKenzie: Detroit will try to sign at least two of those big-name FA forwards tomorrow.
Let the overpayment and ridiculously long, albatross contracts commence!

I'm hoping a) it's bullshit or b) they are calling for the sake of calling to establish parameters for negiotiation for other defensemen or c) calling and feigning interest in order to get information on demers

Well Shea, let's get to work.
We will take good care of him Gunstar.
It's still surreal, even for someone who hasn't been following hockey very long. He was very clearly the face of the Nashville Predators, and then he's traded away out of nowhere. But that's the way the business works, I suppose.
Hope Weber defies expectations in Montreal.
Ladd is good though, as long as he's not overpaid. I would also take Backes if they could trade Plekanec, but he'd likely command too much anyway to be a viable option for the second line.

Yup, taking the train there. Probably Old Port Friday, Museum Saturday, and then brunch with my wife somewhere before she heads back to Toronto and I'm in Montreal for the rest of the week.
I'll keep la banquise in mind and if you have any other suggestions, please throw them my way.
Could you deliver a package to Bergevin's doorstep for me?
wtf? dude probably punched a wall or something just to screw us!
but wasn't he medically cleared for play when traded? The Leafs then sidelined him.
That injury would be outside of contract, no?
Beware though, La Banquise is 24/7 and even if you go there at 4 in the morning, it'll be packed!
Biodome/Insectarium is always fun, Jean-Talon Market and the surrounding area (little italy) are beautiful and fun if you just want to relax, the underground city downtown is also something to see! We have couple of barcades (Nacho Libre, Nexus Bar, Foonzo) . And that's just outside of the usual Mount-Royal, Downtown, Big O, etc
if you're lost or have any question just PM me and i'll help you out. Also checkout the todo list on reddit
Make sure to double-check first what is actually open tomorrow.
Yeah ... "take care" of it.

Well...I would pass by the Bell Centre on way to the museum...
Oh yeah, I did. There's supposed to be crap happening down at Old Port and supposedly the museum is open too.
I've been there a few times for work and once on a tour bus....which was really really terrible and rushed...and all the goddamn people wanted to have Korean food in goddamn Montreal...
I made up for it by going to Canoe, Au Pied du Cochon, and Schwartz's next time.
Will do and thanks for the link!
Au Pied du Cochon
for those who have never been in Montreal, Kuro right here just declared his

Cowen finally does something to help the Sens against a divisional opponent
Who cares, if he's injured we keep him on LTIR, as soon as he's clear to play put him on waivers and buy him out

Just saw this lol
you can't buyout players outside of certain windows
doesn't the 2nd window only apply with arbitration?
Had nothing to do with it. You can exceed the cap in the summer, Srankos chose to stay in TB.
firstly... if number is $10 million for contract.... account for QO's not accepted yet... we'd blow past summer cap easy
then you have to factor in the part where moving multiple SHITTY overpaid players is difficult when so many teams are buying out players JUST to make room
we literally could not sign stamkos because of cowen's extra salary. impossible.
