Is Kapanen better than Beck
Owen Beck has probably the better 2-way game and more offense than Oliver, but both are great on faceoffs. I think Kapanen is more suited for a 4th line role, strong on pucks battles. It will be a nice internal battle for the 3C spot for them in a couple years.

Don’t be ridiculous, Jordan Harris on one leg is better than Englund. He was injured so he didn’t played all the games but he got healthy scratch like 5 times top. There’s a rotation because we have too many defenseman. MTL are a bottom team because we didn’t have a 2nd, 3rd & 4th line

Buium is my favorite defenseman, but Anton Silayev is not going later than 6th OA (Bill Armstrong will draft him if CBJ don’t). Levshunov is going 3rd to ANA and OTT are taking either a F or RHD. There’s a lot of chance Buium is there at 8th OA

For the Preds... just give up on any hope of ever getting Askarov. He's not available for anything y'all are able to offer. The last time he was rumored to even be in discussions, the target was one of the potential franchise players at the top of last year's draft, and y'all don't have a prospect of that level to offer.</div></div>
It was 5th OA (David Reinbacher) vs Askarov + 15th OA + I think EDM 1st and MTL declined …

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>benjgc</b></div><div>Speaking as a CBJ fan, I'm not high on how Mesar's game has been since the Habs drafted him. As a result, if I were in the GM's seat and Mesar was the prospect coming back, I'd push for 5OA this year and Calgary's 25 1st-rounder instead of Colorado's 2nd-rounder this year, which is essentially a 3rd-round pick. I'm sure there'd be some give and take there, but moving up in the top 5, even a single slot, is exceptionally rare, and therefore exceptionally pricey.</div></div>
It’s not because it’s pricey, it’s just ridiculous moving up one spot. Don’t know if it actually happen in the past a team moving up one spot

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>The answer really depends.
Is Columbus set on taking Lindsrom themselves? Then no.
Is Columbus set on taking BPA no matter what? Including a defenseman? And are we confident that MTL is taking the best forward available? Then yes, PuckPedia's pick value calculator has even value for 4OA at 5OA and 50OA. But I think Columbus would be more interested in making it hurt a little more for Montreal to get their guy...
If Silayev and Lindstrom are sitting there at 4OA, and Montreal strongly wants one, I'd take this trade and just pick whichever one they don't.</div></div>
It’s pretty unrealistic his scenario, if CBJ want Lindstrom, they will take him. If they target a dman, they will draft a dman and MTL will pick Lindstrom. But MTL aren’t trading a bunch of future just to get THEIR guy.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy316</b></div><div>Dont just reply with a lie that you refuse to back up that Contradicts Managements Direction since Marc Bergavin was Fired.
If you are Unable to hold up your side of the Democratic Debate then say so, dont just lie based on nothing .
Anyone who listened to Hughes Speak ever knows what you're saying isnt true.
He's highlighted 2 straight drafts by trading for players like this on the cheap and has said he'll continue to make moves like that.
I get it , you loved Marc Bergavin but he's in LAK now
Hughes has been the complete opposite with a buy low , sell high Mantra.
Plus he deals with Kaliyevs Agent for multiple Habs</div></div>
Kent Hughes said he wants a team based on speed & talent (and bigger). Kaliyev as skating issues, I don’t think in MTL management look at Kaliyev and says : yep, he might upgrade his skating. Like why is Armia still training a piano then ? He has the chance to improve it and never did ? Stop replying, IMO I don’t think he is a possible target for MTL, you think they do. FAIR ENOUGH, I respect your opinion

Matheson wasn't better this season than the last one. He was brutal defensively, but hey he put up 60 points so that means he was better, right ? Right ? He got a ton of points on the PP, that's means he's a good QB, right ? Right ? NO, he is a bad QB on the PP, can't make a pass on the tape, he was brutal defensively and he can't hit the net. When his contract expires, he will be 32 yo. He will be looking for a long terms deals and he will steal the QB position on the PP from Hutson (because he is a vet). Hutson-Reinbacher Guhle-Barron/Mailloux should be MTL top 4 in 2 years

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>I would argue Reinbacher & Mailloux have the potential to be top pair guys as well. Also, maybe Konyushkov. Maybe Engstrom. It's hard to know.
We have a lot of defenders. Guhle is ahead of everyone right now, but that doesn't mean he can't be traded. The fact that there are so many guys behind him makes him the ideal player to trade.
Dach and Newhook are good players. I hope they can become core guys, but they aren't yet and when you look at the forwards in the system who are not yet core players:
Dach, Newhook, Roy, Beck, F. Xhekaj, Mesar, Tuch, Farrell, Kidney... There's not a ton of reason to believe that 4 core forwards will emerge from that bunch. We need to add an infusion of talent to that group in a big way.</div></div>
................................... Dude ... omg ... my eyes are bleeding
I was talking about left handed defenseman. Xhekaj Harris Struble are bottom pairing dman. Engstrom we will see, might have top 4 potential but let's see how he looks in Laval next year
Dach & Newhook are core players, like Suzuki Caufield Slafkovsky Guhle and Reinbacher. Those are the guys you will see in a Habs uniform in the next decade
You can't trade Guhle because you don't have LHD prospect with his potential or higher. Trading Guhle creates a whole on the blueline in two years

Habs have 2 dman under 25 yo with top pairing / top 4 potential : Kaiden Guhle & Lane Hutson
When Matheson deal expires, you have Guhle & Hutson on your top 4 for the next decade
You are forgetting that Dach has immense potential, we saw it during the 2nd half of the 2022-2023 season. Suzuki & Dach or Dach & Suzuki (we will see) is a really good 1-2C. If we get another top 6 C (let’s say we pick 1st OA or we draft Lindstrom and he becomes a beast, move Dach on the RW).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy316</b></div><div>6'2 and 209lbs thats not his game
Not saying it cant be added as Suzuki was Slow as Molasses when we got him
He trained 2 summers with London Knights with a Speed Skating Coach the Hunters employ for their Junior players in the summer.
Marner and Suzuki were there the summer before he joined MTL full time
Its not impossible to add that to Kaliyev's game as his Speed isnt bad he just takes time to build up momentum
I'd be far more interested in having him play that Physical game he avoids right now.
If we did bring him in i'd tell him up front whether or not he's extended depends on whether or not he's improved significantly in his skating or his Physical game.
TBH at his size and given our need i'd much rather a Physical Goal Scorer then a Speedy Goal Scorer.
Plus his advanced Stats are ahead of basically everyone but Suzuki in MTL right now.
His Defensive Play is vastly underrated and on par with the stats Danault holds
I dunno this is buy low on the 1st pick in the 2nd round of the 2019 Draft Hughes loves plucking talent from.
If he was 190lbs or something like that i would have no interest but at 209lbs he's got muscled packed on and a good solid foundation to build on
He has 2 glaring weaknesses we could address. I mean if MSL can make Slaf a 20 goal and 50 point scorer after the start he had to his sophomore season
Then working with Kaliyev shouldnt be that big of an issue.
If it works out imagine where we'll be ?
If it doesnt we just dont re-sign him
Either way what we're giving up is gonna be lost anyways
LAK lost a few players they liked for nothing in Anderson-Dolan and Bjornfot former 1st and 2nd round picks
Thats after having to sell low on Grans and Durzi because their log jam got too out of control
Same will be said of Harris and Struble as better players enter our crowded Dcore in NHL and AHL levels
Even if Kaliyev gamble fails we have a great chance of him succeeding then any 3rd round pick and a B Prospect that Harris will command today as is.
https://hockeyroyalty.com/2024/03/22/la-kings-the-curious-case-of-arthur-kaliyev/</div></div>
Not reading all this
I don't think MTL management consider Kaliyev as part of the puzzle
