just stop it, these are not rumours this is Montreal fans having fantasy talks with one another

Rumors among who?

Heh. Frankly, I'm just delighted you didn't send him to the Blues. If I could I'd treat you to a smoked meat sando.

Everyone declines except maybe Edmonton

I could see Edmonton maybe going for the trade or some derivation of it. Barrie is redundant with Bouchard but Savard has just been bad in Montreal and doesn’t put up points like Barrie and has a longer contract so I personally think that’d be a bad move for Edmonton. Allen is lateral with koskinen in terms of recent results but Allen is cheaper. Either way he’s not a long term solution and neither is smith or koskinen in Edmonton…. Maybe it buys them another year to figure things out. Wideman would be in the pressbox so he really doesn’t serve a purpose in the trade.

Nashville flat out passes. Petry isn’t needed. Sure at the top of his game petry is better then what we have at rhd. Problem is that petry has been flat out bad and I’ve got questions around his ability to actually perform as the true #1 rhd and not a 1b/2 rhd that he has been behind Shea Weber. With this being the first really year he’s having to shoulder the full load and failing spectacularly, I wouldn’t go near him. Hoffman isn’t a Hynes player asks wouldn’t fit with the team dynamic.

Himself

I would hope NYR doesn’t pass on that.

Looking at it again it’s a pretty solid deal for NYR

In college we called this a "circle jerk."

I would have thought that the reason Sakic felt able to trade Timmins is that Barron is looked on as the eventual #3 RD (or better), so I find it almost impossible to believe that he would be included in a trade for Chiarot even if Montreal were the team adding significant assets.

Chiarot is awful, he is worse than Murray, the perpetual insistence that he is worth a 1st rd pick is crazy like NHL teams don’t have metric departments or scout games.

Source, Avs wont move Barron for Giroux they sure as hell aren't moving him for Chiarot.

Caps won't take on Armia's contract without a sweetener (and that sweetener is not Montembeault). Why would they give up Samsonov for free?

Avs trade rumours on here written by Habs fans = Habs fans wet dreams!
