Well, I like your first half, but then you stopped making sense.

To Montreal - Vincent L
To Tampa - Huet / Koivu / Ryder

One of these days, John Tortorella is going to smack each and every one of you people who think Lecavalier (or St. Louis, while we're on topic) is coming to Montreal via trade. Richards is more of a possibility.

As much as people might think, Higgins is not the future Captain of the CH. They say Kyle Chipchura is currently one of the best leaders in the Habs dressing room.... and it's what? His first year? I see him wearing an A in the next few seasons and when Koivu retires, although he may not right away, but he will become captain. If not, Komisarek will.

Apart from that, I agree with you on everything else.

I was reading your comment and saw the first overall you spoke of and at first I was like, wtf? Is he talking about NHL 08? but then I noticed what you said later on and I just LOLed. hahaha P.S: It does look like an NHL 08 kinda trade and then after you do that you take some who's say 72 trade him for a 74, then you trade him for a 76 and so on until you get someone about 88 (It starts getting hard to keep trading at this point ). You do that again on another player until you get someone 88 and then you trade him for a 92-93 to center Ovechkin. Then you do that whole process again to get a 92-93 right winger and TADA, you got a good line WOW…. that got out of topic! lol

Ok, Where to start?

First off, I would like to present the Habs cap hit:

$45,404,200.00

Second, prospects.

With the success of the Habs' drafting, who knows what our new prospects could pull out of the bag, so why trade them?

The Habs currently have a 7th rounder playing on the first line for the past two games and has played very well. He put up an assist tonight on the first goal. What I'm saying is, we havn't seen them play a game in the NHL yet, why trade them? One of them could be a late round sleeper like Daniel Alfredsson. And with so many other great players going UNDRAFTED, you can never give up a prospect until you see what they can do.

Third, your ideas of ''Trades''

Alright, Ovechkin + Brashear (Who the heck would want Brashear?) for our 4 young guns (Higgy, Ryder, Latendresse, Grabovski), a possible amazing player (1st round pick). Just doesn't make sense, 4 guys with very high potential for an amazing player (slightly overrated) and a Shit Disturber.

That would ''improve'' our team alright.

Who would give up Markov, he's playing at the top of his game. You said: ''I'D EVEN GIVE UP MARKOV IT THE TRADE WAS PROPER'' ..... hmmm, that's why you're not the GM.

And Finally, your idea of a ''Cup Contender''

Having a no. 1 line like Ovy Pleks and Kovy, just won't bring you that shiny silver thing. A team that will bring you this Cup called Stanley, is a team with heart, Ovy... heart? hehe.... he's just in the N to break records and he's still young, we'd have to wait another five years for him to mature and understand he's playing for what's on the front of the jersey and not on the back. And then after those 5 years, it won't matter, the team would still suck cause you pissed away your top 4 young guns....

My point, keep the young guys, you never know.... one may become like Alfredsson or St. Louis.

After all that, I think I know where you're going, but we don't have to go berserk and piss away 1st round picks and all our young guys to become a ''Playoff Contender''.... the current rumors going around make sense, I believe Huet and Ryder (along with conditional draft picks because they are UFAs at the end of 07-08) for Richards is a possibility... same with the Edmonton/Montreal rumors. The reason they make sense is because they are 1-for-1 trades or 2-for-1 with Con. Draft Picks, not 7-for-2 trades, lol.

This would be a good trade.

to Pit=Huet, Ryder, 2nd rounder, Streit even Grabovski if needed.

to Mtl= Laraque, Malone and a 1st rounder.

Higgins-Plekanec-Kovalev
Kostitsyn-Koivu-Kostitsyn
Latendresse-Chipchura-Malone
Begin-Smolinski-Kostopoulos/Laraque/Lapierre

Malone and Laraque would make the habs a much better team an finally other teams would not intimidate us anymore, look at our third and fourth line, they would command respect . Pitsburg would get a much needed goalie, two wingers and a very good defenseman/winger in Streit.

by the way previous trade was a joke… just like yours

your an asshole, im not saying ovechkin is untouchable but huet is a free agent, ryder is a free agent on pace to a 10 goal season, and how can you say ryder is a proven 30 goal scorer he only had two season, then jim carey would have been a proven number one goaler when he won the vezina

if we wanna get ovechkin they will ask for price not huet and they would ask for mcdonagh not valatenko

and why should we even talk about this? we should go and get crosby talbot and laraque against valatenko fischer obyrne mcdonagh 3 first round pick, both kostitsyn ryder, bouillon streit huet and a 5th round pick

Your the one who has pitiful fantasies buddy
you Vincent L for Huet/Koivu?Ryder is way more unrealistic the the Ovechkin fantasy. both of these trades wont happen However i do see Vincent considering a spot in MTL when he is a ufa. But i also think Ovechkin wants to come to mtl because of the crowds and markov. however i dont see OV signing in mtl as an rfa but that would be cool. i think we have the best shot at getting a superstar when Vincent becomes a UFA and untill then i think we should test our youth and get them ready for 09 then we will have a cup contender by then. i think we are one 1st liner away from a cup contending team. we got the goalie pretty solid defence and all we need is a scorer.

also why does everyone want to trade Koivu ? hes amazing gives 110 % loves the city and all you hate him and chirp him give him a break and let him play hockey

It's not about how good each player is now dickshit! It's about what the deal does for the teams as a whole. Huet is a solid starting goaltender, Higgins is a potential 50 point man that is all heart, Ryder is a proven 30 goal scorer who is struggling in the Montreal limelight, and Latendresse is a future powerhouse power forward.

My point was that the trade would help BOTH TEAMS. You can't ignore a possible trade because NOONE IS UNTOUCHABLE!

Remember the Gretzky trade? The Lindros trade?

Looked similar to what I am suggesting. DOUCHE*****.

ARE YOU PEOPLE SMOKING CRACK!?!? OMFG.... PLEASE.

Higgins - Koivu - Kovalev
A. Kostitsyn - Plekanec - S.Kostitsyn
Streit - Chipchura - Dandenault
Kostopolous - Lapierre - Latendresse

THIS SEEMS MORE REALISTIC DAMN...>.<

first of all were keeping Streit and Dandenault bc its ALWAYS good to have a Forward/Defencemen that play well in any position, noob.

Second of all if AK-27 sees that we have a playoff shot he will put his differences aside and play on the first line with Koivu... and right now I'm not happy with how our 'LEADER/CAPTAIN' has been playing these past two months. i would seriously think of trading him.

Third of all did you not see the game last night!??!?!! the Kostitsyn brothers PLAYED AMAZING together it was like watching the Sedins... and with Plec... theres the speed and leadership for the young guys.

you want an amazing trade?

To Montreal - Vincent L
To Tampa - Huet / Koivu / Ryder

that might be possible. clear up some space and have finally A STAR FORWARD! that isnt selfish as Alexander O. man u guys and ur pitiful fantasies make me glad you have no decisions with the habs.

AND TRADING HIGGINS ARE YOU INSANE!!!! HE IS OUR FUTURE CAPTAIN MORONS!
