The pressure on him would be insane. He'd be the only Quebecer of note on the team and get all the attention. He's still a young developing player.

Is that all? I feared that Stéphane was going to announce yet another gig for his son Jasmin.

As per Dave Pagnotta, the market for top 4 Ds is stagnant, awaiting whether the Ducks will be able to sign Lampus Lindholm to an extension. They are supposed to know by this weekend. If they can’t come to an agreement, Lindholm will be on the market.

This has got to be the best fake announcement of all, complete with slick graphics. It was so well done that a Tampa station fell for it:

There would such be a massive meltdown by Laff fans that this site’s migration would crater.

These radio station guys are supposed to be on top of the news. Totally asleep at the wheel.

When Penner was getting moved out of Edmonton, someone made a fake Kyper account and said he was dealt to the Habs and Dreger retweeted it.

And it even pass on the RDS Trade deadline show ! They annonce the trade

The Kent Hughes fake Twitter account making it on LCN. Francois Legault replying to a fake MSL account and then deleting it.

It's crazy how these fake accounts make it to official channels and broadcasts.

But damn would that deal be a steal for the Habs.

on drugs no, on a quest for ratings and views , hell yes... easy to get the faithful to click.

I hope Chiarot gets dealt after tonight...

Having him play at this point is flirting with disaster.

Wonder what the hold up is, hopefully it's not the market softening as more teams are shifting to seller mode

Gotta maximize the return maybe it’s not a sellers market yet

With 2 weeks to go & the east top 8 looking all but set, it's trending towards a buyers market deadline with more available assets than there are buyers.

Nice thing is that Chiarot's cap hit & Ufa status set him apart from most of the other top 4 dmen available for cap stretched contenders...

 

[WinterLion]

I love how all the rumours involve the high profile teams! I mean you'd have to think that Carolina and Florida will be all in this year... but yet there aren't many rumours about them... meanwhile the Laffs have no cap room and a million holes to fill yet they are in on everything!

There will be plenty of players available but also plenty of demand. Cap space may be the biggest variable... teams with space might do well...

There's really not that many quality D available though. Most teams are selling forwards.

Lindholm, Chiarot & Leddy are the only 3 legit ones. Those are 3 very different defensemen too.

Manson isn't that good, is more of a #5, makes more than Chiarot, is currently injured & has had injury issues last 2 seasons. He also has a 12 team NTC.

Chychrun has zero playoff experience and Arizona is asking for a lot. Probably an off-season move.

Giordano's contract is expensive even at 50% and he is a bottom pairing D at this stage.

DeHaan has slowed down a lot and is a bottom pairing D at this point.

Lots of bottom pairing Ds available.

Yep that gets a double like.

It's been said that Florida is one of the teams interested in Chiarot. They'd pair him with Ekblad allowing Weegar to hold down the 2nd pairing with Forsling.

Chiarot - Ekblad
Forsling - Weegar
Gudas - Montour

It would definitely help their D.

Problem is they don't have a 2022 1st & I'm not sure they want to give up a 2023 1st for Chiarot. 2023 1st round is expected to be an epic draft like 2003 was. Teams will be more hesitant to give up picks for that year. No team has given up a 2023 1st yet.

I can see St.Louis being interested big time to reenact the Chiarot-Weber pairing only by having a more talented version by playing him with Parayko.
