I'll be the first to say I'm probably a hypocrite saying habs should rebuild and now saying they shouldn't. Seems as though price, markov, and radulov are willing to get paid less in order to make habs a good team.

Think about a price trade. A team would have to destroy a big part of their team to afford him/ get him and resign him. Looks at hawks. Kane and toews are paid 21 mil just the two and the team can't afford anyone else because of it.

They all wanna stay with habs and with the possibility of a year long deal for kolvalchuk there could be some more promise. I could see habs trading rights to galchenyuk for kovalchuk and another player possibly.

I do like plekanec but think 6 mil a year is gross. Maybe like 3 max as he's a really good def. centerman just can't get points like in his 20's. I could see them giving him up and then him signing with them next year for a lot less.

Maybe see a belieau trade for a younger forward as sergachev would for sure take his spot, even juulsen. But with the additions of Davidson and Ben I can see him being oddman out.

Just after what price said and the rest of them like I can see some possibly future success.

So after last nights game, habs are out. I was really hoping to see them go on a deep run and I did believe that they would only go as far as price took them. The problem is they didn't help price on bit because no one can score.

I still believe the Weber / subban trade was the right move as Weber is still a great top dman and will be long enough to allow for younger guys to move into the line up. The issue is that behind aergachev there's maybe juulsen and that's it.

Obviously julien as coach is ideal in that you won't get a better coach since the habs would never hire quenville or Babcock because they don't speak French which is absurd.

I understand what bergiven was doing acquiring guys like it and king and shaw but that series proves that he ****ed up. I think his time is over in Montreal. The problem is they need to hire a French speaking gm so the team probably won't find anyone since they are incredibly stupid about it. MB is a good assistant gm and I'd like to see him stay with the team but not as the GM.

I love patchioretty. He's a consistent streaky player who you can usually count on to anchor your top line during the season. But playoffs he's a joke. I know he had like 25-30 chances in the series but come one he didn't finish on any of them.

Because Montreal is Montreal the term rebuild doesn't exist so basically the habs will be like Detroit. Make the playoffs ever year and ruin guys like galchenyuk and Gallagher and waste their opportunity with price Weber patchioretty plekanec markov.

Behind patchioretty they don't have any solid left wingers. You could argue lethkonin but he's maybe another year or two before he'll be really good. Behind I guess plekanec you have galchenyuk (I don't even know what position he plays anymore and he's terrible at centre) . Right wing you have radulov (who may or may not resign and Gallagher)

Speaking of radulov I wish they could sign him and trade him I know he's good and led them in the playoffs but he just tries to dangle all the time instead of just passing it and then the puck goes the other way.

They need a no. 1 centermen since I do believe plekanec is still okay on that second line for maybe another year or two but doesn't deserve 6 mil a year.

They need another scoring left winger and right winger too. Galchenyuk I think should be traded as I think he's just not a good fit anywhere.

There's a lot of issues there honestly they've wasted the good years of their stars and in maybe 4 or 5 years this team will be like Arizona just garbage and a rebuild will be necessary. The fans are idiots to think a rebuild isn't coming in the near future.

After last nights game it's clear that the habs are not going to go far in the playoffs, maybe not even make it.

Basically therrien needs to go. Hire Julian or Hitchcock. The fact they won't hire a non-French speaking coach says it all that the habs management doesn't care about a cup as aside from Julian (not even sure if he speaks French) and guy Boucher the coaches suck.

Also DD is done. Trade him now for a pick, probably a 3rd at most or place him on waivers to clean up cap space.

If they are going to resign markov, I wouldn't give more than 3.5 mil as yes he's still good, but he's 38 and young good players need to be resigned, including 27 and 47.

I'm not a fan of Gallagher either. I think if they could trade him and a pick for a 2nd line scorering LW or RW then they should do it. They have enough character guys including Weber, Mitchell, radulov, shaw in the locker room.

Galchenyuk should be on the 1st line regardless from now on. I understand danaul is doing a fantastic job but I think he's used his power for the season and I think he is the ideal 3rd line centre, possible 2nd line if playing with the right wingers.

Emelin is at most, a 2nd pairing defensmen. The habs need an offensive defensemen such as mike green. They should target green for some picks and a prospect. Imagine green and weber as a first pairing.

Get duchene at the deadline if the habs turn around and win basically every game up to that point. Say we get a coaching change this week and the team goes back to being the team who went 13-1-1. A guy like duchene would fit so nicely on the 2nd line, possibly the 1st line as a centre. And with a solid RW and LW on the 2nd line, a top 6 with duchene and galchenyuk as the 1-2 would be deadly. Don't pull a mcdonagh trade though, keep sergachev no matter what. See what the price is at 2 30 pm on March 1st as the price could go down, otherwise don't waste time.

Trade 14 at the draft. His time has expired much like DD. He's a great defensive centre but is 3rd liner at most and most 3rd liners who produce how he does do not get 6 mil a year. Use that space for a good free agent.

Wait till after the expansion draft to sign big names. That's the whole reason no one is making big trades right now.

I'd like to see these names be shipped out by June 30 this year:
Gallagher
Plekanec
DD
Emelin
Belieau
Markov (if he wants 5 mil a year)
Carr
Andrighetto
Redmond

Get some picks and sign some free agents. Make a trade if needed but don't screw up the future because right now the future is the only thing going okay.

In my opinion the habs don't have any 2nd line players. I think it's time for guys like hudon and sherbak to play in the NHL.
