In if its a Clarkson type winger, then ditching Moen and keeping Karberle for depth makes sense. We have logjam of defense prospects, but a dirth of offensive veterans.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162783936999869984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-4159783992022114282013-06-02T01:42:33.224-11:002013-06-02T01:42:33.224-11:00Excellent recap and observation.

Of the four mentioned, I think Kaberle is gone.moemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07714585748102791365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-57235259974269372212013-06-01T13:55:13.501-11:002013-06-01T13:55:13.501-11:00For a guy who haven’t played hockey for two years ...For a guy who haven’t played hockey for two years I thought Andrei Markov played very well. I see no need to buy him out. Forget about Brian Gionta who has one year left on his contract but I won’t be surprise if he get trade at the deadline other then that I don’t see it. I be very surprise he get a contract extension with his injures and his production declining. Travis Moen and David Desharnais were sign to long term deals by Marc Bergevin and I would been alright by it if both were sign to two year deals. We see next year if these two signing were a good move. <br /><br /> I thought Marc Bergevin should make a decision between Tomas Plekanec has 3 years left on his contract or David Desharnais. The plan is to get bigger then he should of pick one my would have been Plekanec because he can do more. <br /><br />What Habs have to do this draft is we all know is get bigger and tougher. They need to draft wingers preferable right wingers which in the systems there thin and also at the center position. Hopefully they are able to address need for a tough hard nose right winger and a big third line center at the free agent period in July. They also need a heavy weight tough guy to protect their stars. <br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210522816170045027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-79102559080975722462013-06-01T11:12:41.513-11:002013-06-01T11:12:41.513-11:00Good read,I agree that Gionta should be the one to...Good read,I agree that Gionta should be the one to go but as you say it would be a tough one.They could give the 'C' to someone else at the start of the year and diminish Gio's role and <br />buy him out later.<br />Moen is useless but to waste a buyout on him seems like an over reaction.<br />I'm glad I am just a fan<br />Thanks for the blog,JTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-63847770866522691222013-05-31T13:13:03.892-11:002013-05-31T13:13:03.892-11:00I've been curious about this buyout thing: do ...I've been curious about this buyout thing: do teams get two buyouts in the next two season, or for the duration of the CBA? If they latter, then they better make the next buyout count!Woodvidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833433610225890451noreply@blogger.com
