If Bergs can't find offense this deadline he should look at giving somebody on the farm the opportunity. A prospect who is having a good year, call them up near end of season. We achieved success before this way, Claude Lemieux, Chelios, Erc Desjardins, Dryden, to name a few. Charles Hudon? Well, he is having a good season. Led Bulldogs in scoring, with several decent NHLers down there, ie. DLR or 'Ghetto. Plus, Habs save all the picks and prospects. lol But I am cheap, how I do things. Season Price is having, Beaulieu maturing way he has, if they could add decent goal scorer Habs be in driver's seat for a cup. Has his negatives, but ROR from Colorado? A player, #1 pick and prospect type package |

Kadri was once a high draft pick and remember he had couple big playoffs with the Knights. Never know by Bergs and his get you thru the playoffs motto. Kadri likely miss handled in Toronto, at least should be able to get 20 goals-50 points out of him. |

Markov-Subban
Beaulieu-Gonchar
Tinordi-Gilbert
Pateryn-Weaver
With the emergence of Beaulieu, and Tinordi looking pretty good, I think the only way Berg gets a defender is if he can move one. Gilbert has been decent of late, but if he could find an upgrade and send Gilbert the other way in the deal I wouldn't be opposed. There really isn't much out there though. Michalek has a concussion, so the teams lining up to get him have likely fallen by the wayside. That group of 8, which the Habs can carry come playoff time, has a little bit of everything. Would be nice to add the experienced version of a Tinordi, but there isn't one out there at the moment.
A scoring forward who's still scoring. That's the target.

Beaulieu is our Markov replacement, so I'd likely not pull the trigger on that one. |

Beaulieu is our Markov replacement, so I'd likely not pull the trigger on that one. I'm not sure I would either. We're just starting to see him cement his place. After him, the only offensive D options in the system are Ellis and Bennett. After two years in Hamilton, Ellis started this year in Wheeling. He played well there, but that's a regression to be sure. Bennett is in his first pro season. While Ellis is back with Hamilton, these guys are works in progress. Markov's got two years left on his deal. We'll see where those two are in that time, but my biggest hope is that Nate continues to progress and lighten Andrei's load some. We may not have a plethora of Eberle-like talent in the system, but we've got less on D. |

Darren Dietz is one to keep an eye on. I'd have him at least even with Bennett and ahead of Ellis.

Rumour from Steven Simmons yesterday was that Habs did inquire about Lupul. Nonis' asking price was Gallagher. The line went dead after that.

Seriously, Simmons has to be trolling. Because there is no way any GM, even a Leafs GM, would possibly think that was a reasonable deal. Gallagher is younger, more productive, healthier, and cheaper. Yet we're going to trade him for the vastly inferior player? Sheesh. I wish I had Simmons job. Apparently you don't have to be good at it. |

I would expect that it would. if he didn't ask about it he would have wondered if Nonis was hanging around Rob Ford. Seriously, Simmons has to be trolling. Because there is no way any GM, even a Leafs GM, would possibly think that was a reasonable deal. Gallagher is younger, more productive, healthier, and cheaper.

Scott Hartnell?
A lot of hard miles on that body, and the contract is obviously a huge concern, but he should still be effective for one or two more playoff runs. He's the sort of power winger with scoring ability that we need, and if we are "going for it" this season or next, then who cares what the ramifications will be three years from now, right? The Blue Jackets look like they want to be more cost-effective, so they might be willing to get rid of him to save money.
Their GM did draft Eller...

The Blue Jackets look like they want to be more cost-effective, so they might be willing to get rid of him to save money. Their GM did draft Eller... It's been mentioned. He's slowing down for sure. He could be an effective garbage man though. I'd consider it if they ate part of the cap hit. Say, 750k worth a year. Brings his hit to $4 million. I circle back to Wiz ... he's apparently made his list of teams so complicated that essentially the teams he would go to are up against the cap and couldn't take him as a dump. He apparently really does want to stay there. But, if you could get him to come back ... Eller and Emelin for Hartnell and Wiz. $7.6 million vs. $10.25 million. 6 contract years for each pair of players. CBJ gets some cap relief. Emelin would have to waive his NMC as well. We get older, but we clear up the glut at center somewhat, get bigger on the wing, and Wiz can dole out the hits in his own right. |

Tinordi has been sent down, I don't want MB to deal him. He's still young and prone to mistakes. But his mistakes this time around is speed of descision making. He needs to be more descisif.
He's not going to be Zdeno Chara. BUT he could be our Adam Foote. Let's be patient with him. He's 6'6 and we will need him in the next 3 or 4 years.
Greg Pateryn is the guy I would place in a part of deal.

If I was putting my chips in the pot per say....It would be Jerome Iginla... Still has some gas in the tank and I think would be perfect for the second line. He's got about 20 goals this year so he still has some hands and probably has the drive for one last chance at the cup.

I have a feeling Eller's on his way out IF Berg has another deal to make. Iggy's a great choice. How about Cammy once again? (Apologies for also mentioning his name in the DSP thread.). Still holding out hope for E. Staal, too.  |

No to Cammy. Attitude, the contract he signed last summer, lack of size, etc. Rather take a flyer on Elias.

He's got about 20 goals this year so he still has some hands and probably has the drive for one last chance at the cup. I'm beginning to think more and more that I like the Iginla option. The guy has always been a gritty scorer. I could see him being willing to skate through a brick wall if it meant getting his name on the Stanley Cup - he's one guy who wouldn't pull a disappearing act when the going got tough during the playoffs. For the right price I'd like to see him in a Habs' jersey. |

Which is why I would rather trade picks/prospects for something useful longer term instead of a rental. Tinordi and Eller is fair I think. Could add in a second if necessary. |

Still holding out hope for E. Staal, too. Eller may be gone if he has any value. Since DLR arrived we are deep at center. Be in package for scoring winger. Habs won't give him away though, as in playoffs when game changes, guys with Eller's speed, defensive and face-off abilities can shut down top centers. I think Eller make good 4th line center, playoffs that is alright but he is paid too much for the role long term. |

Can't afford to trade Beaulieu now he is Markov's replacement, with so many questions and spots to open over the next few years on the back end he is now a keeper.
