NHL Off-Season 2017 |OT| Weve Been Here Since October

Tyler Myers for Drouin. We'll throw in a second because we're nice people.
We don't need a forward we also need help at defence but who cares Drouin and Ehlers reunited 😍
I'd love Drouin's talent, but I can't shake the feeling that a french player playing in Montreal, with noted attitude problems, would be a trainwreck.
But if we got a Drouin who had matured a bit.....maybe yes. You're trading potential for a known commodity, and the Habs need offense badly.
They said he was ready for the NHL and clearly wasn't, an apparently had an ok year in the minors but was also scratched a couple of games. And he was drafted by Timmins, I have 0 faith he's going to be anything more than a #6-7 because of that
Maybe....but I'm more of the mindset that potential is just that...... potential. Sergachev could become a #1D, but as we know the road of player development is long and fraught with peril. For example, Galchenyuk projected as our #1C, and now he'll be entering his 6th season as probably our second line left winger. And he may never get to centre. And if he does, at this point it's likely as a #2 tops.
Drouin is a known NHL commodity by comparison to Sergachev. And on top of that, our biggest team need is scoring. So yeah, I'd give a Sergachev for Drouin trade some serious thought for sure.

I can't imagine he'll be traded for anything less than an established NHL defenseman. It would be a Hall/Larsson type of deal.
Drouin for Petry and the ghost of Roman Hamrlik. Final offer.
but the reason you need to trade him is cap space, technically...
Sounds like Seabrook would be a good fit for them 😂😂😂😂😂
Wasn't he a center in his whole junior career?
Was he? I thought MacKinnon was the center on their line.
Hall for Larsson part two.
Chris Tanev!
In his prime, similar production to Larsson but even better defensively...
He's also on a great contract for 3 more years. Downside is he's coming off a disappointing, injury-plagued season
That's greasy as hell

Galchenyuk for Tyler Johnson
Make it a bigger move
Galchenyuk and Sergachev for Drouin and Johnson maybe throw in another player like Hudon
Also Zaitsev for 7 years, 4.5M for Leafs. I still think this is a very bad contract. If he's not playing well in 3 years out of the 7 year contract, what then?

You've never heard of a place called Robidas Island?

Still, I don't think he's worth the term for that long. If it was 5 years then I'd be indifferent about it. 7 seems too much
Could go one of 2 ways, either he excels and the contract is viewed as a steal in 3 years, or he's a bust and it's a bad contract. Given that he only turns 26 in October, I think it's a decent move, he should have some good years left in him unless he totally falls off the cliff.

More that I think about it. I think Beaulieu is probably going to be traded before Galchenyuk. It feels he had a shorter leash this season.
He's all yours, Marvie! Just don't call him Mein Kampf.....

that's pretty long. Hopefully he holds up. AAV seems nice.
Beaulieu is getting traded. Galchenyuk isn't (yet).
Fucking Ben Smith fuuuuuuuuuck kill me

Term and price seems fine to me. It's under 5m and he'll be 33 when he's a UFA.
edit: Ben Smith too?
Oh, might be just for the expansion draft.

You know that's totally going to be his nickname
That's Quebec.
Watch some old-timey black and white video from Habs games. You can barely see what's going on because there's a massive cloud of cigarette smoke in the arena.

I'm not unemployed or smuggling cigarettes across the border
I don't eat Pepsi and May West for breakfast (*)
I don't watch da hockey game doing it doggie-style
And no, I don't know Claude, Manon, or François in Abitibi-Témiscamingue (*)
But I'm sure they all have nice teeth
I smoke in church
I speak Québecois in joual, not French or English
I pronounce it "tird", not third
And eating French fries with cheese makes sense, mon ostie,
I believe in a distinct society, as long as someone else pays for it
I believe in language-police, not equal rights
And, calisse, I believe that Club Super-Sex is an appropriate place
for my wife and me to celebrate our anniversaire
What the hell, she goes on at ten anyway
In Québec, the Stanley Cup actually comes around more often than
Halley's comet
I can get beer at the dépanneur, not the convenience store
And maybe I can't turn right on a red light
But tabarnak, I can go right through it
Because Québec is the world's largest producer of maple syrup
The home of Céline Dion and Roch Voisine
The land where everybody is shacking up and the legal drinking age is
just a suggestion
Je m'appelle Guy, and I am not Canadian
Mot, t'a dit, tabarnak, ostie.
Merci, salut la vedette
I grew up in BC, so experiencing the amount of smoking in Quebec was extremely noticeable.
