Why do people actually think Montreal is an option for McDavid? If he doesn’t bolt to the USA (which I believe he will) he will go to Toronto.

 

[Habsy]

Let me put it this way, if Hughes talks McDavid into signing in Montreal then Hughes is the GM of the century.

 

[AH$$$]

I said it months ago at the deadline. Hold yours assets until he says No, I am not coming to Mtl.

Because he wants to win a Cup?

He might bolt to the U.S. but I think there's about zero chance he goes to Toronto.

Laffs are in a rebuild with no D and depth

Why leave 1 tire fire with 2 studs for this 24/7 media crap on a team in trouble

He will be USA bound

He might walk as an UFA, and do what Hossa did, which is sign 1-year deals until he wins the Cup.....that's the only way i see MTL getting him....if not, it'll be the usual suspects (Vegas, Texas, Florida teams, San Jose)

Or like Corey Perry, in keeping with Connor McRunnerUp.

They would have to move him this summer for the destination team to get two meaningful years. Otherwise it’s like Marner and you get jackshit.

McDavid controls the situation.

This will be Marner situation all over....Edmonton won't trade him....they will try try try to win until his UFA year, they will go down fighting, with hopes that they win that Cup

 

[lecoqsportif]

yikes

 

[Habsy]

Second line center for a year while waiting on Hage?

Evgeni Malkin wants one more NHL season, even if it’s not with the Penguins

During Penguins exit interviews, Malkin said he's not ready to call it a career in the NHL.

If the lose CMD for nothing it’s the Carthage Oilers. Burning it down, then salting it.

City is gone.

yup

 

[Sal_Butera]

Because he wants to win multiple Cups?

Fixed

 

[CH1]

Oilers should ask for Suzuki, Reinbacher and Fowler

 

[Sal_Butera]

Have to say for a superstar, McDavid isn’t shy about speaking his mind & doesn’t dodge questions or media….

This season he hammered his coaches tactical abilities & GMs ability to in building an avg team

Hutson is my only untouchable

MSL is actually a strength in attracting players in a way that folks here underestimate bigly. I predict a star player of some kind will choose the Habs in the coming years and cite MSL as a reason
