joe and marleau stay in san jose, williams goes back to carolina or a true contender.

i wouldn't watch a single game. you don't pay 4th liners 3M and over. You don't trade Cayden Primeau, Valeri Nichuskin is a Bust, Chicago is going to keep Gustafsson 100%.
The goal is to be younger, not to sign 3 old veterans (not saying they can't play anymore... only that you should sign only one if you do, and Habs have no room for them.

Won't argue that. SJ has 7 mill cap space with 5 players to sign (including Labanc). If Marleau and Thornton are willing to take 1.5 each then it shouldn't be a problem. But I'm trying to get an edge by offering more $ and term. If I can lure those 2 guys then Williams might feel good playing with them.

At this point in both players careers, they want the hardware not the $$. I dont see that happening for the habs this year.

Really? Who do you want on the 4th line?

What do you think they'll settle for? (Marleau and Thornton)
