Honestly, I'd feel differently if he named names

meh, I'm sure the ASKing price will be insanely high. I know you barely have any faith in the goalies the habs have in their pipeline but they already have decent prospects.

If we can get him for some of our extra D and picks, then it is likely worth it.

He is more ready than anyone in our prospect pool and is likely an upgrade on Primeau (at the very least), and looks to have a higher ceiling than Monty (if the scouting report are accurate).

Seems like a good gamble.

Volokhin, Dobes and Fowler also need to be considered, there's more than just Primeau and Monty.

seems like Fowler especially could be the real deal.

Don't disagree, I think Fowler has a good shot at being really good. But we have a wealth in D and picks.

I'd like to see more focus on forwards and goalies.

You can never have too much depth.

yeah, at this point I would much rather use the extra dmen and picks for potentially elite forwards, I find that's currently a more pressing need.

I have no idea who has a good attitude or not but those would also probably be good guesses.

For sure Marner.

Was gonna say Nylander, but he is the only one that kinda shows up in the playoffs.

He and jt are around the same age, both played in the ohl. Probably have known each other longer than that

marner was the one getting yelled at on the bench, right? i'm guessing one of them is whoever that was. i can't imagine matthews was one of them. who could the second one be?

and are we sure he really said this? why would he do that anyway?
