Let's goooooo. POTW confirmed.

Horn as top 5 of the worst graded player on defense? What a joke. If his arm is 3 inches higher (or lower...can't remember) on that TD pass he absolutely shuts down his man all game and even had a couple good plays on run D. I normally like PFF but they missed the mark big time on this game.

He was definitely bad today and that's tough for me to say. Not sure why Brady didn't get called in once Elflein went down either.

This is what I expect as well. And that's a lot of skill in that top 6. I could really see KK and Necas developing a lot of chemistry.

It would be so nice if Dennis can get over his injury bug and become a reliable starter long term. Could potentially give us long term answers for 3 of the 5 spots.

And now Montreal is trading a 1st and 2nd for a 25 year old center from Arizona who has yet to score 40 points. That alone easily justifies the trade compensation for Kotkaniemi. Then, like I said before, the overpay in $ is what it took to force the trade through. What a shrewd move by the Canes.

It's official. Just announced by the official account of the Canadiens - they Are NOT matching.

Today is the day. We'll find out if we have a new winger (and lose a 1st and 3rd next year) or if we screwed over Montreal.

A late first and third for a 21 year old, former 3rd overall pick that has pretty solid advanced metrics is a fair value. The overpay in $$ for a single year is what it takes to pull a Madden and "force" the trade because there's no reason for the Canadiens to accept a fair trade. I guarantee you that Eric Tulsky was consulted before signing this offer sheet.

Keep an eye on the Cowboys and Israel Mukuamu. I think he makes the team but he's on the bubble just due to numbers. He could be a great development FS option.

I'm not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me?

I don't have a good way to show it from my phone but straight from NFL.com. Charlton = 46.3/40.8 Koch = 45.3/40.1 career average

It will be interesting to see his development regardless of if he is in MTL, CAR, or somewhere else. Keep in mind Turbo was not all that great in his early years either and really didn't take the next step until he came to Raleigh. Kotkaniemi may just be a slower development guy too.

Charlton's NET and gross avg last year was higher than Koch's career averages so not sure what you're getting on about bud.

Agreed. Pierre Lebrun even mentioned that the Canes tried to trade for him before signing the offer sheet so it's not like they did this for a Joe Schmoe. Bold move but really not a loss either way.
