He won’t come cheap

He won’t come cheap

Fine but if 1st + Struble / Xhekaj + prospect (Pickford?)… I’d do it

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Laine is leaving after this year and Gallagher is getting bought out. Thats a lot of cap

Gallagher isn't getting bought out.

[GEEMAN]

Thoughts on Parayko?

He’s on the wrong side of 30 with 4 more years left. But…

fuck em , Habs are in the final stages of unwinding wrong side of shit contracts

Habs need players on the right side now until 2031 to help us win a cup

I dont mind taking a flyer like Bolduc but no more bad aging deals

MM at 5 years is fine not 7-8 years .

 

[lecoqsportif]

But Parayko would only be 4 years.

So, equivalent to MM.

I am not sure we should be throwing in Pickford just yet.. the kid can really play.. you notice him pretty much every shift.. great shot, good skater and he defends well .. we don't have a shot like his on the point on our current line up.

Pickford could be a legit 5-6 D in a few years, i.e. on a contending team.

Xhekaj actually has 100 mph+ shot and rarely uses it

 

[lecoqsportif]

He doesn’t have the hockey IQ or footwork to get into a position to use it very often.

i have seen him play 3 times, and each time it is the same, i think he can be in 3-4 D range..

Would be amazing given he was a year older and 3rd round.

Shrewd choice, it seems.

 

[AH$$$]

At this point, you gotta just trust the Hugo tandem.

Only thing I ask is if you’re getting long-term assets that’s great. If we’re going the rental route, then please fix the goaltending.

Lundell, eh?


Signed for 4 more years at less than Gallagher.

Do it!

 

[Krustchev]

Would be idiotic.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Lundell has been a rumored trade target for a while now.

And it he's still there. And would be crazy to trade him for a 35 year old.

Oh, I thought you.were saying it would be idiotic for the Habs to acquire him.
