Instead of trading Markov...
We can trade : Dagostini, Pacioretty, Price or Halak, Sergei Kostytin, Weber...
MY DREAM, is to get Kovalchuk if he's on the trade market. Even if we lose, it's fun to have one of the biggest superstar in your team. |

dagostini = 3rd round pick tops..i don't know if you watch the games, but he is awful. He would be a 3rd or 4th line player on any team....if he could make it. He is an rfa so any team that wants him can just wait and sign him to an offer sheet at the end of the year.
Paciorety = awful. He had his chance and blew it. 2nd rounder tops. Also not anything better than a career 3rd liner. Trevor Timmins dropped the ball.
Price = still has value
Halak = its there but less
Sergei Kosyn = he has 1 goal and 3 assists in 23 games + he has publicly acted like an ass and proven to be cancer in the dressing room. He is young, but no one is going to give him any value. 2nd round pick at most.
Weber = hasn't played enough in the nhl to get anything of value.
Now package Markov + Price and you can get a young star + 2 1st round picks.
Trade for Kovalchuk? First off we don't have what Atlanta wants. 2nd, why are the habs going to trade half of the team to get a player when they are not going to make the playoffs and he is a free agent who won't sign with them at the end of the year? Also it won't work because of the salary cap. You listen to too much trance man...makes no sense at all. |

3.RDS has big time ratings and they pay more than any other TV station in the NHL to broadcast games. In the states they practically give away rights...I believe Rds pays 35 million a year to the team which is pretty crazy.

:eyespop:

CDN Dollars:p
and i might be wrong....i am looking now. It is what i think i heard them say on L'Antichambre.
I do know it is the highest in the NHL. |

I wouldn't be surprised though. I believe Toronto and the Rangers have some nice revenue streams from television as well.
NFL is in a league of its own but I can't research the numbers since we have slow speed internet at work. |

Is there any f*ing way to get rid of Gomez and Gionta. The two of them are going to kill our salary cap.
We have barely any $$ under our salary cap. I have no idea on how we're going to sign Pleky, Pouliot, price/halak.
Gomez = 7.35 Million per year.
Gionta = 5 Million per year.
Cammalleri = 6 Million per year.
Hamerlik = 5.5 Million per year.
23.85 Million... me
The only one that gives the bang for the money is cammalleri. |

the only way is to take back similar salary for another dud.
Gomez is playing ok...other than the turnovers. He has been a point a game player for the last month. Too much money though...I can't believe Gainey had to throw in Ryan Macdonaugh :wtf: to get him. Higgins should have been enough...speaking of Higgins, it looks like he is going to be a Calgary Flame. |

I agree that gomez is showing good numbers. But when he doesn't have decent wingers he can't play for . Plekanec on the other hand has been playing preety well at the begining of the season with no stable wingers until he got paired with Andrei and Mike.
I have this bad feeling that Toronto is going to be a better team in the next 2-3 years to come |

| Montreal has 13 players from the current roster under contract for next year. The total salary cap hit is just under $45 million. With no goalies signed for next year, and both goalies will probably want raises, there is going to be serious cap issues. They are going to have less than a million dollars per player available for next year to fill the roster. Considering the average player makes well over a million it looks like montreal will have to fill its roster with bums or youngsters from the AHL |

no good wingers?
Pouiliot is killing it, and before Gionta got hurt, he was too.
Pleks has slowed down because there has not been a winger to replace A. Kosyn....now with Camillieri gone...man.:(
@ Chem: The salary cap issues is another reason i think we should trade Markov and Price together for a young asset with low $$$$ and some high draft picks. Those 2 guys in a package could fetch great return.
I'm not the Gm though...but if i was i would do it now. We don't even know how much the cap is going down by next year. |

| We can't trade Markov. If we do, I stop watching hockey. |

| In the new NHL you can only have two...maybe three star players before you run into salary cap issues. Montreal needs to trade one goalie, Markov and one of Gomez,Gionta,Cammalleri,or Hamerlik. |
