Not sure of the logic here. Maybe they've judged the market to be non-existent thru trade.

I agree with the perspective that the haul for Nash is not really that impressive. But hey Nash is a rental and his game has deteriorated quite dramatically over the last three seasons.
Regarding what Columbus did today, I really think the Blue Jackets sat on their hands too long and Letestu is not a good enough offensive player to move the needle for a team desperately needing goals. Unless Columbus buys some goals tonight or tomorrow, I would bet on them finishing on the outside looking in. I envision the Islanders or the late-charging Panthers grabbing the final playoff spot.
I do not know many Senators fans, but one optimistic guy that I see on occasion for work was convinced they could get a 5th and 7th round pick for respectively for Oduya and Burrows. Maybe if the Habs were playoff bound, Bergevin may have been salivating over those guys but the reality is those two are done, they cannot play in the NHL anymore.

There's speculation the Sharks are moving contracts to free up something for a run at Karlsson. I don't know what two contracts does for them, and even less what it does for Nashville unless there's a gentleman's agreement in place for future considerations. It's a boy's club.

As chatter about Pacioretty quiets down (asking price is too high for those interested at the moment), this is an area that Montreal should be taking full advantage of. Gotta work out a deal? Need to move a contract out? Give us a call.

Hockey is debatable, but if you factor like most hockey people do that Moutrey is not a NHL prospect, then the bottom line is Dorion flipped Cole for nothing more than Chiarelli managed to pocket for Davidson. That seems surprising. Maybe it points to Snow not being very shrewd. Maybe it means Dorion overestimated (with Rutherford's help no doubt) Cole's value.

Winnipeg gets Stastny from Blues for prospect and a first in 2018. Very interesting trade there.
Reda saying Blues retaining 50%.

The Blues selling is not good news as it likely means they are out of the Pacioretty sweepstakes. Seventeen's dream of Thomas may be on hold now!!
That seems like a good haul for Hartman.

TSN claimed this morning that Thomas was a non-starter for the Blues. Moving Stastny does clear out a significant amount of cap space - even retaining 50%. Bottom line, the Blues goalie situation may have shifted their priorities. Lindgren was named the started for tonight, so I don't see him being in a trade. |

Winnipeg sure looks set on their top nine now. That would not be fun to defend against in the playoffs. Habs fans can only dream...hey, there is that ominous background music again.

What young center were we going to get back from the Jets? They might have kicked the tires, but I don't think they were ever really an option.

I like Winnipeg being aggressive because they have a really well stocked system and giving up a late first rounder this year is not a big sacrifice.
This is terrible blow to the Blues, but the reality is those guys (particularly Jake Allen) have played so poorly this month that Doug Armstrong lost his nerve and now has gone into wait until next year mode. This could be good news for that cluster of competitive though not stellar teams in the Pacific (San Jose, Anaheim, Los Angeles, and Calgary) because now it looks more like the Central is not going to grab both wildcards.
I like Hartman. He is fast, feisty and chips in offensively at the rate a good third liner should. It does feel like a bit of an overpay but Nashville wants to win now and Poile must have thought he cannot surrender the pieces to grab someone like Pacioretty or Kane.

So you've got to think that Winnipeg, Nashville and St. Louis are all out on Max. Who does that leave? |

Craig Conroy was on TSN saying that Treliving is 'working hard' to make a 'hockey deal'. Flames don't have a lot of picks in the kitty. I don't see a match there. Bennett doesn't do it for me. |

My fear is the stuff I'm hearing that Bergevin thinks he can rebuild on the fly & wants a roster player. He'll do that because he thinks so highly of his ability that the team will be competitive next year. I'm getting repetitive but I have a sinking feeling that he'll ignore what needs to be done. Another prime asset will be misused & the best we can hope for is mediocrity. |

I love Montour and Larsson, but there is no way Murray gives up either one in a deal. I also doubt he is inclined to give up Sam Steele since the Ducks are oldish at centre.
It is more likely Murray would give up a couple of nice prospects like Comtois and Morand who are not at the can't miss level and maybe throw a second round pick (conditionally first round if Ducks make playoffs). If I was Marc Bergevin, I would definitely think about something like that but I would probably say no.
