In this case LA would also be paying to fix the Habs mistake in Anderson, don't you think?

Player who has scored 157 points over the past 3 seasons vs a player who has scored 82 points over the past 3 seasons.

I expect both players to rebound. Josh to 30 points and PLD to 60 points. Do you think that is far-fetched?

Did you even read the post? I have made my position on Anderson clear. His contract is a bitter pill, but the rest of the deal should balance it out.

That is false today and will be false at least until PLD is 31-32.

Yes youve been told mutiple times now.

PLD has never been a 8.5 million player. He sucks at playing centre.

He has also thoroughly proven he wont be able to handle the media attention in montreal.

Just stop. We get it hes french

no team contending for a cup is adding on a terrible deal for a useless player that'll hurt their team in terms of cap. They gave all that up for PLD, he is staying unless they upgrade in the deal

beck, and his age, draft status, attitude, youth, cap hit, faceoff % > pld and his baggage.

and when hes that old. hell still cost 8.5 for a couple more years. and thats IF he manages to stay welcomed on the team.

You must be confusing me with someone else sir.

He's also 6'3, 220 pounds, stands in front of the net, and scores 60 points per year.

FWIW - Dach & Newhook have never been able to score 63 points in a season. I hope they do if they can ever stay healthy.

Listen, they also clear cap space in the deal and there are lots of free agents who can bolster their 3rd line. PLD is not working out for them, and they have a short window to trade him before his NMC kicks in.

Hasn't PLD been way better since the coaching change in LA?

His "not working out" is much better than Anderson's, and Blake isn't going back on the trade after one year. Very unrealistic

Not sure. I don't really follow the Kings.

I have seen a PLD trade to Montreal every week since last year, and it typically is done by Habs fans. It typically becomes an echo chamber of how lucky the Habs are that they didn't trade for PLD.

We get it, congratulations, but can these trade threads die already?

PLD isn't half as awful as people have thought, and if Blake moved PLD at a loss he would be fired because it would be his third losing move this year (moved Cal Peterson at a loss, fired one of the most expensive coaches in the league, and now this). He isn't getting moved, and will likely improve in LA, which he has, honestly over his last 10 games, I don't have a lot to be upset about.

I get it, you hate JA. That being said... There's also a prospect center, a goalie, and a 1st round pick in the deal, which is why all the Habs fans are losing their minds.

I would love to get PLD, I think he would be a great asset but I would rather send one of Newhook or Dach back to facilitate the trade than include Beck and a 1st. I know it's not a popular opinion around here but neither Dach or Newhook have proven to be what we hoped they would. Newhook is on pace for his first .5 ppg season and Dach is too injury prone for me

The PLD ship has sailed (hopefully). Him having "effort issues" has really solidified itself as a real thing. Almost everyone gave him the benefit of the doubt in CBJ, a few still gave him the benefit of the doubt in WIN, now almost no one is giving him the benefit of the doubt in LA...

Habs should steer clear from PLD... Would be nice to shed Anderson's contract (would rather shed Gallagher's in this case), but as someone else mentioned above, it comes down to the difference in actual dollars. PLD will have over $50mil in salary left to be paid off, whereas Anderson (or Gallagher) would have less than $20mil... adding the effort issues from PLD, it's clearly not worth the risk, let alone having to add a prospect of Beck's caliber AND a 1st rd pick.... hard pass

Im low on Beck, no need for Primeau and a late 1st. If that's for PLD alone then fine, but it'll take all of those assets to dump Anderson anyways so LAK may as well hold onto PLD.
