• Comment on Canadiens sign two Swedish draft picks; Emelin has surgery
  I'm not sure if anyone has touched on Burmistrov wanting out of Winnipeg yet. I don't think there's a better time to trade Desharnais at a point of strength than this. I'm sure they want someone who can contribute right away to help make the playoffs, they're big enough to support him. DD's stats make him look a lot more desirable than Burmi who was clearly rushed to the NHL and now wants out. Desharnais for Burmistrov + 2nd Round pick.......I've seen wilder deals happen. --------------------------------- Lars, PK, Galchenyuk, Gallagher, Emelin - @J_Perez22
• Comment on Subban skates with Team Canada in Sweden
  True, but on a lower payscale in a less significant position. If anyone thinks Desharnais being a homeboy didn't play a part in the extention at all that's just naive. --------------------------------- Lars, PK, Galchenyuk, Gallagher, Emelin - @J_Perez22
• Comment on Subban skates with Team Canada in Sweden
  He needs excessively catered conditions to be successful. He's slow, which is a huge detriment when your that small and play that small. I think most people are frustrated with the ice time / line mates he gets more than him in general. I wouldn't call him a good 2nd line center though. If he's a 2nd line center which I'm not sure he is, he's at the low end for sure. --------------------------------- Lars, PK, Galchenyuk, Gallagher, Emelin - @J_Perez22

  1 year at 2.75 creates zero cap issues. --------------------------------- Lars, PK, Galchenyuk, Gallagher, Emelin - @J_Perez22

  This is the kind of guy who teams will take a reach for, top 15 guaranteed --------------------------------- Lars, PK, Galchenyuk, Gallagher, Emelin - @J_Perez22

  With Gallagher Galchenyuk in, we really don't have much in terms of guys ready to step in. Especially LW, people should hold back a bit on expectations of Kristo making this team out of camp and being an impact guy. --------------------------------- Lars, PK, Galchenyuk, Gallagher, Emelin - @J_Perez22

  If he's actually bought out which I doubt Van will do, I'd happy to offer 2.75 per. Van will likely try to let him play himself into the tradeable category before giving up on him now. --------------------------------- Lars, PK, Galchenyuk, Gallagher, Emelin - @J_Perez22
