Montreal comes to town tonight on the second leg of a back-to-back. A crushing 5-4 SO loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins has dealt their dwindling playoff hopes a serious blow. Another loss tonight to Canada's team would put the Habs 10 points back of 8th place Let's do this.

Absolutely Philly should make that trade. With Couturier sticking with the team this year, Vorachek kind of became expendable and then with Pronger going down, they need a defenseman.

A 22 year old who’s already a 45-50 point player for a pending UFA? Sounds like a pretty bad deal to me.

What are the odds that this year is the season the Devils choose to forfeit their 1st round pick? With Brodeur pretty much finished, no one else in the system to replace him, and who knows what hapenning with Parise, it could be difficult for the team to get much better in the next couple of years. So this is likely the year they forfeit the pick, right?

I am so glad to finally see Brodeur retire. He is just too damn good against the FLYERS. I am so glad to see the Devils finally belly up after all those years giving FLYERS headaches. lets pray its a long NY Islander style rebuilding time for the Devils.

I was talking about Brodeur and how he impacts the NHL. Draglikepull brought up about the Devils forfeit their first round pick and about Brodeur and I just went on with how he has impacted the NHL from what I have seen
I know that he has had some great games against Toronto as well So I am sure you can relate.

From the trade bait link
He is young, developing and is already a top-six defenceman on most, if not all teams.
Is there a team Gunnar is not a top six guy on? I’d go as far as saying he was a top-four guy on more than a few teams.
I'm with the Hebrew Hammer. Why aren't you?
Gunnar is a top 4 on all but the deepest defences in the league. Hugely under-rated guy, also comes with a very appealing cap hit.

Trading Gunnarsson in a deal that does not bring back a top-pair defender like Suter would be crazy. His cap efficiency alone is worth keeping him for.

Exactly. If we’re getting a top-two guy back and not giving up a massive amount in return, wonderful. If we’re getting a top-four guy back, he’d best do something Gunnar doesn’t to justify it. If we’re not getting a top-four guy back, he shouldn’t be leaving.
I'm with the Hebrew Hammer. Why aren't you?
It appears the Montreal Canadiens will be sellers at the trade deadline. GM Pierre Gauthier says if the Habs have the opportunity to make a good deal, he will do it. The question is who will go. RDS.ca suggests Scott Gomez and Hal Gill won’t be around next year, while Travis Moen, Andrei Kostitsyn, and Mathieu Darche are all question marks.
- From TSN
Where exactly is Gomez going to go? Unless they think he’s going to be bought out, there’s really no where to go unless Molson wants to bury a good possession player because he’s had some bad luck and is overpaid.
For reference, Gomez’s cap hit if he’s bought out this summer would be roughly $3.5 mil next season, $4.5 mil the following season, and then $1.666 mil the following two seasons.
Follow me on twitter @CoolJ90
The only places I could see Gomez going are cap floor teams, since his cap hit is $7.3m but his actual salary the next two years is $5.5 and $4.5. Even then though, that’s $10m for a guy who literally produces nothing. Most teams will probably be looking for at least a little bit of production out of their overpaid bums.
Cap floor teams aren’t going to spend $4.5M on nothing.

Even cap floor teams don’t want to pay a guy $4.5 million a year to score no goals. Why would you, when you could sign a guy like Fleischmann as a UFA for the same amount and get much better production?
We talk about the good moves Burke has pulled since he showed up in Toronto, but the Gomez for Higgins and McDonough deal has got to be one of the most lopsided since the salary cap came into effect, doesn’t it?

I agree, I think the only way Gomez moves is near the end of the summer when desperate cap floor teams are picking off the scrap heap. And even then it’s a long shot. Columbus just signed Brett Lebda to play hockey for them, would you be shocked to see them trade peanuts for Gomez and spin it as a “reclamation project”? I wouldn’t.
Rolston from nj with 1 year left went to the islanders for useless trent hunter with 2 years left at a lower cap hit. One or two bad contracts have to go back to the habs or a bribe and I can’t see it happening because gomez is not even producing at AHL 3rd line level.
I would do komi + lombardi for gomez + prospect/pick and then promptly finger gomez.
And use the free capspace to resign liles and maybe grabbo.
then promptly finger gomez

No matter how the rest of the year turns out..
…Grabbo’s OT goal celebration will definitely be one of the lasting memories of this season. It helped that I was very drunk and I thought the attempted assassination of Reimer was going to derail the game and the entire season and then bam, one of the most objectively beautiful things ever.
For the Hughson haters, watch this and listen closely at 2:30. I get unreasonably excited every time I hear that. Yes, I have watched this clip several times this year.
Does Kessel kiss Grabbo.after?
I will stand beside him with an axe! @theninjagreg

Oh...and Phil Kessel says YAAAAAAYYYY!!!1
Sens fans were pretty pissed when I helpfully provided the Youtube link of the hit and then referenced them back to a few of Crusty’s less classy moments when they started preyending that he’s wonthe Lady Byng for 13 seasons running.

I think team Charpul should pick Kessel and Seguin 1 and 2, that'd be kind of cool.

We should have resigned Lebda and then used him to fleece another team.
Being a Leafs fan makes me bipolar.
Is it possible Brett Lebda has the best agent in the league?
He’s making 700k (pro-rated) on a 1-way contract and is making 500k from his previous contract buyout
Brett Lebda will make almost a million dollars this league for playing hockey.

Refs informed Erik Karlsson that he is a diver – hence no call late in game. MacLean is furious with that label.
