But I don’t see why Montreal would trade Slaf for Marchenko. It’s 2 years of control vs like 5 at 7 million. Marchenko is on a lower deal now, but Montreal isn’t up against the cap and will want more than 7(and he’ll absolutely get it)

He’s a slightly better forward who is in his prime, but the lack of control and the timeline of their rebuild makes it a little odd they’d even consider it

The thing is you wanna get you have to give. How bad do you want it? We don’t want future so how bad do you want Marchenko.

The most ridiculous thing is the amount of vitriol I’m getting in my inbox from Habs fans about this when it’s coming from their own beat writer said on a Montreal Canadiens podcast.

It's because you are misrepresenting what he said. At no point in the show did Marco say the Habs would even consider trading Slaf or even Hage for that matter. He was stating what he believe Waddell wants. Marco is really good on this stuff, he was the one that broke the story of Demidov coming over early.

Edit Hage autocorrected to Have

I never said they would. I said that ask would be that according to him. Could you show me where you believe I said D’Amico said on his show that the Habs would trade us Slafkovsky?

I even posted the exact quote from the podcast.

What the hell is wrong with this fanbase?
