At this price I'm buying! Pacioretty and Ben Maxwell are gonna make us forget Higgins and Pleky in a couple years! PK Subban... I really like him but heck, we got Weber, Mathieu Carle, McDonagh, Valatenko and Alexei Emelin as D with huge NHL potential in the pipeline!
The Lightning is re-building...and we got what they need! |
while i agree to a certain extent, the problem would lie more in this year. The blue line would be severely weakened (look at josh's plus minus pascal, it is way higher than any defenseman on this team.) It could either pay off big, or leave us lacking depth come playoff time and if anyone gets injured we will be fucked. Those young d guys will be good, but are not ready for the big leagues yet. we don't want to rush them and turn them into O'Byrne's.
Defense and goal tending win Stanley Cups, you only have to look at Tampa Bay after their cup win to see what happens when you remove key defensive personnel from a winning team.
Either way, i have to trust bob, and you will not see me cry at all if vinnie comes here. I just think the price that the media is giving is a little steep. He has had a bad shoulder injury that has made him less of a gritty player, and at 10 million dollars a year he would make signing players to keep this team deep on all lines pretty difficult.
Do you think he actually wants the media pressure in Montreal? Many insider sources around the league say that he is happy in obscurity in Tampa, and does not really enjoy the prospect of being under heavy scrutiny.
He is the big talented center that this team has not had since Jean Beliveau, and he would look great in the uniform. Could he push us over the top? Sure. The thing is we are winning at the moment, have a better record halfway through than last year (mtl has always been a 2nd half team, last year i think they were only one game over .500), and if it does not work we are stuck with that huge salary (for 10+ years),and the no trade kicks in on july 1st)Do we mess with success?

Same, but the money troubles Tampa is having make it very likely that he or another big player will move. They have not paid their coach in over a month, and it seems they have asked the nhl for help to be able to guarantee the players salaries. Tampa's owner is supposedly one of the guys who lost the most money in his other businesses since the whole financial crisis thing happened.
go habs go
