I think Emelin and Desharnais or Eller and Diaz is fair.

[LancelotLink]

Mtl would be bonkers to trade Subban for Carter.

I hope he would too if i were a habs fan. however, (and this isn't flaming) If clb wants a D man as the main piece, Subban is likely the only interest.

Why? Diaz is second in Rookie Dman in points. After Larsson. Plus hes playing big minutes.

I dont want to touch Carter if it means : Subban - Cole - Pacioretty - Emelin.

And why would CLB trade us Carter? A lot of teams, can give them a much better package than us. If hes traded in MTL, its cause no other gms wants to overpay, and if thats the case, we will give 'em something like : Plekanec + 2nd for Carter + D-prospect.

Impossible. Hes the ONLY player on the team that hits.

[Habs 4 Life]

Not overpaying the way the Jackets did to acquire him. They can keep him or trade him to another team, not interested

[Shrimper]

Linking big names to big fan bases for big hits. Check.

Habs don't have the pieces to give up to get Carter in my opinion without seriously damaging themselves.

[Seth Rollins]

As long as our 1st round pick in this year's draft isn't involved, I'd probably be ok with it.

I don't think I need to mention the other few untouchables on the team.

[Live in the Now]

Guys, stop discussing Eklund as a source and focus on the rumor. If you don't like his brand of rumor posting, don't open the threads. That's why they're tagged with "Eklund."

It's a strong argument, but Halak + Ryder + 2nd still owns this.

[Caballo Blanco]

Subban, Pacioretty, Diaz, Masse, 2nd

For Carter, Savard, 3rd

LOL

I wouldn't even trade Pacioretty and Subban for Carter (straight up) and you want to through in Diaz, Masse and a 2nd?

Carter is worth Plekanec + Tinordi or Beaulieu + 2nd round draft pick in 2012
