Description

IMO Grandlund could be a good fit for the Habs. He can play a center and wing, can be moved around the line up as needed. Gives time for our young centers to develop and mature without being thrown into situations that may hinder their development. His stats have been sliding the last couple years so we should be able to get him at a reasonable contract and maybe a change of place will spark him. He is a year younger than Tatar and a possible replacement if we decide not to re-sign Tatar at the end of current contract.
With Paquette we would get a character guy that will be good in the room with the kids. Also a versatile player that can play a similar role as Thompson did last year with a higher up side.

Post Edit: Was looking at how the following season would look and decided to make another couple moves in 2020-21 to set up the future. Sorry Domi fans. Also added another UFA

The trade is good
Domi 1 year deal is interesting, but I'm scare he tries to do to much like this year. IMO we need to sign him long term around 6M
RFA signing :
Hudon decline that, not enough money
Ouellet want a NHL job, he wont take that, especially for 2 years
I think we need to sign Vejdemo to a 1 or 2 year deal, we'll have a lot of prospect to sign soon : Ikonen Caufield Harris Norlinder Fairbrother etc
Blandisi 1 year max
I dont think they'll resign McNiven with Lindgren Primeau Demchenko
Why sign Evans over 1M if he's going to play in the AHL ? 2 years 925K is good enough

Good job overall

I would also give Domi 5y deal for 5.5-6m$. He ‘s the type of player I want to keep.

Quoting: GMs

Assuming it’s a one-way contract like it was last year, I see no reason why Hudon wouldn’t sign for $825K.

I like the Granlund contract, although it basically means we’re going to have to lose one of the UFA forwards (Tatar, Danault, Gallagher, Armia) which I don’t love. I think I’d probably rather just sign Kovy to a 1 year contract, and figure out who we’re signing next offseason.

Is Tampa Bay supposed to be paying to move out money? Because other than that, I don’t really see the benefit of this trade for them.

Otherwise the contracts are all good (other than what @GMs already mentioned).

I'm questioning your Laval signings and lines.
I agree that Poehling and KK should be there and the first line with Ylonen can really cause some damage.
But after that I don't see two players who in my opinion are going to shine on the farm ... RHP and Teasdale.

I also think that Hudon likes Laval and Montreal and will resign no matter what. Mcniven will also resign as I feel we'll get rid of Lindgren.

Now onto the NHL roster.
The signing of Domi is much too low. He wants term so the lower you go on the term the higher you need to go on the salary.
Evans is interesting but not going to get that type of salary. Think 3 years at 950k and in the NHL.
Mete signing is reasonable but needs to be longer term as well....min 3 years.
Forget the TBL trade,....we can do without them easily. Neither player makes our team any better than using what we already have in the system.
Grandlund signing is interesting though.
