fantilli

if the reports of him wanting out are real, why give up anything? at this point just offersheet him to a smaller one year deal, if he signs it you get him for cheap if jets match they cant trade him for a year and then you can negotiate with him in free agency.

I can't see Calgary doing that.

in my head i was pushing dubé at 3c then anderson and xhekaj are added to the lineup while staying under the cap by a few M. do you not think they're way better off like that?

because you don't want the latter to happen. If you can get a young physical top 6 c for that price you do it. we shouldn't gamble with him

If the habs dont move up in the lottery then yes i agree, if they do and get fantilli then i would be more than happy to risk it. Especially considering the amount of young talent that will need to be lock up in a few years, may not want Dubois eating 8 mil of cap space at that point.
