This isn't that riduculous, but I think Tanguay's value long term is much higher. It isn't as if Kovalev is loved in Montreal. Really though the Flames are closer to a cup so maybe it's a quick offensive fix?

Seems like Iggy, Langkow and Tanguay are clicking pretty good thogh now so I don't see it.

Although I do have Tanguay in my fantasy pool. Not sure if it would help or hurt me if he did become a Hab....

On a totally irrelevent fantasy note, would you drop Naslund or Comrie if you had to drop one? Keep in mind Comrie has had a great start and plays on the top line on a more offencively mindedd team...

Thanks.

I have receive many phone call from Montreal. They are very interested in what I can bring to organization. I have to tell Locomotiv that I no longer wish to play for such a junk team. I will be trade to Montreal for Alexei "I am a Weiner" Kovalev, and I will cure male urinary track infection in dogs with my mind power.

That's cause you are a hab fan and don't know his real value. I wouldn't give up anything on the roster for him.

Not going to happen. Wish it was, but really don't think so. Kovalev was a rookie when Keenan coached him. Since then he's become a stubborn under-achiever who publicly criticizes his coach. Unless he starts giving his all every night, he's not that interesting to other teams.
Ryder and Huet are both UFAs after this season so expect them to be traded if Montreal can get someone interesting in return.

Kyle Chipchura better not get traded!!! The guy's looked GREAT so far though the scoresheet says otherwise but seeing as Chipchura is a defensive 3rd line, future Captain type player, the score sheet ISN'T what he does best.

Grabovski's not impressing you??? Did you not see that awesome spinarama? Yeah, he didn't score but he was also off balance and like 15 feet from the net but impressive nonetheless. I say, move Grabovski to the wing, no pressure to win faceoff's and could do some real damage as a scorer seeing has a nose for the net, something lacking in Monreal. Screw Michael Ryder, he's got 0 goals in 5 games so far and has practically been a ghost thus far, if he wants the big bucks but isn't willing to play for them, let the guy go and give Grabovski his RW spot. (maybe not Grabovski but the point's still there)

Kovalev just needs the right coach in order for him to play well. I really don't think that Carbo(more experience with young players) has what it takes yet to deal with Kovy.

I think he could do very well in Calgary.

There is no way that a team gives up a Hejduk caliber player only to get Dandy (no value) and Halak. Obviously Halak is your main "draw" on this trade, but you can get a much better goalie for a player like Hejduk (meaning someone at or near his level).

I can see the Habs geting Tanguay, not just for Kovalev, we'd have to throw something else in as well ie a prospect (a decent one but not one of the main guys). The only reason I can see this happening is because of the strain of Carbo-Kovalev one of them has to go at some point, and if you can actually get something in return for Kovalev (it wasn't long ago that you could not) then you have to take advantage of his temp high value.

That trade will never happen. How about coming from it so that both teams get something worth while? You get something of value- you give something of value. Is everyone here from the East??? Jesus!

That looks like HORRIBLE deal for Calgary, Btw TSN did NOT report this. Give me a link, and i'll believe you.
