Getting traded to Montreal and Montreal not calling him up to the NHL disqualifies him, since he'd be an AHL player. In all fairness to Montreal, he had been sent to the AHL prior to being traded. It's not like they went out of their way to screw with things. He was sent to the AHL while under Arizona's rights, but when traded they usually ask a player to report to the AHL or NHL.

Advantage 2,897 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) 5 hours ago, boubabi said: Those are all dope moves. Those moves are all underrated. Gorges for a second was unbelievable. They are hardly all "dope moves". The point isn't that he makes bad moves. The point is he makes insignificant moves. He doesn't believe in building a team through FA (which I agree). However, he also doesn't trade for anything significant and their drafting hasn't been stellar since he took over either (not awful but when you don't trade for anything significant and don't try and make a splash in FA, you need to do something really well). Things feel stagnant and it is frustrating to see them this way. How do we address offensive issues? We trade for Kassian and sign Fleischmann. Neither of those two are fixes to offensive problems. It feels like he rather take the low risk, middling reward move (ala Semin).

boubabi 4,725 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 If you expect players like Tyler Seguin to be traded in every trade, of course you'll be dissapointed. No moves is useless, you save cap on most move, repairing mistakes that other gms have done. You got mitchell and flynn for free, weise for free, you gave literally nothing for vanek. You traded Gorges when he was already on the downward for a 2nd rounder. Even trading Prust for nothing was a good move. The only questionable trade would be sekac vs DSP. But Sekac doesn't seem do to much in Anaheim and he had problem in the locker room. Tinordi vs that dump is probably the most questionable move on has done yet, but considering that Gormley was traded for the same thing, I guess the market for him was literally absent. I mean, Cody Franson had difficulties to find a job lmao.

boubabi 4,725 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) You can't fix your offensive problem with a training camp sign up in Fleishcman and a coke head in Kassian. I mean fucking hell, even Pittsburgh have struggle to score goals lmao, give the Habs some chance. We had the best goal scored average in the first 15 matches. The struggle just shows how much the Habs fans are quick to push the panic button.

The struggle just shows how much the Habs fans are quick to push the panic button. Sure, we were hot. But this is the same team who struggled last year to score goals...and the year before... I'm not panicking. I just have come to terms that they are simply not that good. They had a good start but they were playing way over their heads. They aren't this bad either. They are a mediocre team with the best goaltender in the world. I don't expect guys like Seguin. However, I expect more than grinders. Also, when you have guys who are scoring goals..don't fucking send them down for 4th line grinders.

The LAK won the cup and they had one of the worst goal for avg during the season And had clutch goal scoring in the playoffs as easily one of the best offensive teams on average in both of their cup runs. With that being said, you can't even compare the two teams. We don't have their coaching, defense, size or offensive depth from those years. Not in my opinion at least.

boubabi 4,725 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) The results are the same, they didn't scored much during the season too. And we can easily win 2-1 games during the playoffs.

FacePuncher 1,343 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 You guys have been hit hard by injuries.

Advantage 2,897 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Price being out doesn't give an excuse to our offense scoring 37 goals in the last 20 games. Condon has been fine.

boubabi 4,725 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 and even when we had that great streak, we played most of the time with a goal advantage, which changes how the team react imo.

Kesler 1,514 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I think its funny how it was a etem-hagelin swap and both have been moved in the last week. I find it so funny when stuff like that happens. Just like when Kassian was traded from the nucks and Hodgson signed with the preds in the off-season lmao.
