   What a day… lots of trades and the news that Columbus might be mixing it up. Please Kent… make it happen.

2. MarchenGO!!!

3. Maybe he’s part of the problem

4. Other teams are making moves but they don't have what Montreal has so they have to make moves. I am ok with picking up someone but not giving away what we have.

5. Montreal’s right wingers: Slaf, Demidov, Zharovsky….. Marchenko is a right winger…. just saying

6. The Hab's got by Tampa by one goal. Carolina showed that it will take more than a couple of players, to get to the final. All of the young players need another year of playing time and to coach their development. With Florida, Tampa, Edmonton, Colorado not making it to the final was A once on great while strange event. next year probably be more status Quo.

7. I would love to see this suggestion happen but I doubt Columbus is quite that stupid. They are not Chicago after all. lol

8. The player(s) that weren't so bothered by losing…out the door and not getting resigned.

   The only Columbus players who may move this season are Johnson or Voronkov. Waddell will demand a lot for anyone else. Marchenko nor Werenski going anywhere. They missed the playoffs in 25 by literally an overtime loss. The Olympic break hurt them this year. That core isn't being messed before the trade deadline. Werenski's camp stated he hasn't requested a trade. He's the next captain.

9. the canadiens missed the best trade, raddysh is gone
   bring in zacha, as 2nd line center
   gudas for playing eith ghule, or maybe even with hutson

10. Knies! Yes, would give a load of picks or a Hage to acquire.

11. HAGE & ZHAROVSKY cannot be part of any trades! Give up draft picks, give up other prospects, but those 2 would be untouchable for myself.

12. HUGO has a plan and I will wait to judge. The ability to win long term is based on balancing the talent vs contracts (long or short term) . You don't want to disrespect players by a knee jerk signing. Dobson is the highest paid ..a 2C or RDman if signed has to fit the salary structure.

13. 6:37 “IF”!, but NOT. Move along.

14. I certainly hope the Habs will be able to find this 2C and this right-handed D-man they need. Yet, I still believe that no deal at all is better than a bad deal. Hughes has been very patient to rebuild this team so far, and I expect him to stick to his plan.

15. I agree 💯 grab this guy lock him in at 9-10 mil per year for next 8 years 😁

16. I did see your card adds and had to go check my old cards what i have saved to my kid. Nothing major but did find Jagers tops rookie card.

17. I definitely like Marchenko but they will still need a 2C and a RD, so hopefully they don't empty the coffers for him. And it'll need to be a sign and trade, not spending assets for 1 year.

18. Please Kent don’t sell the farm to plug a hole for some expensive long term contract.Prefer to develop our own unless a perfect deal comes along. Patience Pays, and remember, sometimes the best trade is the one you Don’t make.

19. well shit, i didn't even think to want this, and now i'm going to be devastated if it doesn't happen! marchenko come to montreal!!

20. Professor X got this!

21. Marchenko and Knies are the two players Hughes needs to push hard on. A power winger is essential in the playoffs. I would like it if Columbus or Toronto would take a bundle of draft picks but anyone not named Suzuki, Slafkovsky, Caufield, Demidov, Hutson or Dobson is in play. It will hurt to obtain either of the two but the Habs need this type of player if they are to have playoff success.
    I agree with you Whiskey – Hughes get it done.

22. Too many Habs fans are like those people who have just gone on a 3rd date and start planning their wedding….
    Relax people… Ken will pop the trade when he's found that perfect mix of talent and cost without giving up the farm.

    It's going to happen…. probably… soon enough.

23. Buffalo picks up another behemoth. Habs batter hit the gym this summer

24. I’ve been big on Marchenko for MONTHS!! I’m so happy you’re talking about him – he’s such a talented player (and an absolute point producer in fantasy hockey 😂)

25. Marchenko has a way better shot than knies he would be a perfect fit for a pass happy Demidov

26. Honestly, for me, I'd rather not give up either Hage or Zharovsky. I know they're unproven, but the ceiling could be very high for both. I'd prioritize a big, gritty, right-handed D-man over that 2C. Just my opinion of course.

27. stick to the plan and trust the process IMO
    don't trade for a bandaid

28. I’m with you on that one

29. Too many Habs fans are like those people who have just gone on a 3rd date and start planning their wedding…. Relax people… Ken will pop the trade when he's found that perfect mix of talent and cost without giving up the farm. It's going to happen…. probably… soon enough.

30. in my eyes the Dobson trade was a bust, too much given for the return, he's average at best and once again the couch gm are clamoring for a r shot defenseman which Dobson is and he didnt accomplish much or give any character to the team. Dont give in to making another lousy deal Dobson was also given too much cash for what he brings.
    Kapanen is and will be a better nhl player than Hague, folks need to realize this and trading him is a no brainer because his value as an nhl'er is a 3,or 4 line player trade now if the return is better than a 4th liner.

31. He'd be like a Josh Anderson with great scoring skills

32. Might sounds stupid but why haven’t we explored more the possibility of Arber playing 4th line Forward this would add weight and size? Otherwise Wilson or marchenko looks solid to me

33. Marchenko would be a great addition. He’s got both the skill and grit.

34. What i would like to see is the Habs acquiring a power winger to play with Suzuki and Caufield, dropping Slaf with Demidov and Newhook for the moment, if they need to get a center next year so be it, at least they have Hage that fits the missing 2Cs profile but no players fit the power winger profile they are missing in the org.

35. But we already have a Russian winger. I'd rather mgmt focuses getting a top 4 RHD and/or a 2C.

36. This year was great because it really underlined where our weaknesses were. Our second line is still not championship calibre and of course the mythical 2C and 3C…But, those weaknesses do not have to be dealt with this summer. I believe that because most or our core have not entered their peak years. We don't know how good Demidov will become. We don't know if Rheinbacher will come good. We don't know how good Slavkovsky and Caufield will become. And, of course Hage and Zharovsky won't even show up until next year…

37. Hey Whiskey, would you offer the same package (Zharovsky, Pickford or Engstrom, 2 1sts) for Marchenko that was reported for Knies?

38. Overpay for Knies or Marchenko ?? YES.yes.YES

39. liberal logic 10:25 is that a Nazi salute

40. Yesterdays trade were all about 1st round picks, (idk mtl situation but I dont think we have good ones to trade for amazing players) the free agency frenzy is where I seen Hughes making some trades or after the draft to get what is needed we got our young core we need some hole fillers now
