Throw a bunch of crap at other team for their top forward/prospect and hope they accept? sounds like a plan.

my question is, why would MTL do that?
Ya Couturier is good, but would we be surprised if he put up his usual 30-40 points next season? I wouldn't be

Need good 2nd line Centre for good price for long term we dont really need anything else for next 5 years

MTL has no prospect pool. Plus they are an aging team. We probably would like to make those picks for restocking the farm and development. and MTl doesn't need a 2nd line center. they need a #1.

They need a number one and 2nd line centre they dont grow on trees my friend and Couturier is great Centre

no they don't. but like i said, Couturier was a 3rd line center till this year. I wouldn't be willing to give up a 30 goal scorer, and 3 picks for a guy who has had 1 good year.

Pretty bad offer for Jake Bean, That deal is no way close to getting you Jake Bean.

Max Pacioretty vaut mieux que ça c'est quand même un marqueur de 30 buts

Hurricanes wanted Shaw are trade deadline but we said no and but time has changed they dont need more defense player they need player that grind/that have won Stanley Cup before.

Je comprends, mais sans un centre, rien ne vaut la peine de l'échanger maintenant avant que nous n'ayons rien.

Dumb trade for the Flyers. We're not gonna give up a 30 goal scoring 1st center who's probably our next captain, and you shouldn't give up Patches + a 1st and others for one player, it won't help.

Yeah i know be we need win now not later in next 5 years

I hope you're trolling people because that flyers trade is horrendous. And the people that think it was a fluke for Couturier is fine with me. If you looked at the numbers you'd see it's a long time coming. Led the team in even strength scoring for the last 3 years. He just got real linemates this year not named Read, Umberger, and Cousins.

I know right? Like people dont know who he is

31% of his 5v5 career ice time until this season was with Matt Read. Let that sink in.

Comments like that are just ignorant.

lol so a bunch of 5v5 blackholes, washed up players, plugs, rookies, and Jake occasionally - sounds like a recipe for a 70+ point season what has he been doing all this time. The best part is MTL fans saying "he can't repeat it" but then say we should take Patches. Who says he ever scores 30+ goals the rest of his career? It's just a dumb argument.

1000% agree with you just Philly has 3 good Centre and and one coming up soon that i would love to have on my team but i think this good trade giving up a lot but its time swing and not stink

No, Philly doesn't accept this. Couturier who had a breakout year for underperformers? No thanks.
