Description
Not an original thought in any of these trades, so many thanks to those of you who planted the seeds and absorbed the wrath of the critics.

EDMONTON -- Oilers get a bonafide scorer who can play any forward position on any top-3 line, while Habs get a very good LD. Habs get Puljujarvi (whose NHL abilities remain unproven) for a very solid 2nd-round centreman who is being crowded out in Montreal's prospect pool. Perhaps Montreal could offer a conditional pick in 2022 that reflects Puljujarvi's success in the NHL.

VEGAS -- Vegas gets desperately needed cap relief in return for two young Quebec forwards.

DETROIT -- Habs get an excellent homegrown power forward who has stayed rooted in Montreal; Wings get much-needed help on the blue line, a promising two-way C/LW and the 16th pick overall.

CAP QUESTIONS: Even though the model shows the Habs are slightly above the cap ($400k) they won't have a problem being cap compliant this year. Looking ahead, with Caufield and Ylonen pressing up, Tatar will likely be allowed to go UFA and Byron would be taken in the expansion. That $8M would be spread between Gallagher, Danault and Petry. KK would need a short bridge. In 2022-23, assuming he's not taken in the expansion draft, Fleury would retire and be replaced on the roster by Primeau, opening up roughly $6M.

You're over the cap because you overpaid Evans, ouellet, Juulsen

Agreed. They were early signings, when I was still rolling in cap space. In fairness, I badly underpaid Mantha, so I'd still be way over. I think I'd dump the Puljujarvi idea and use that extra $1M to better the offer to Mantha.

As much as I like Mantha, he's not going to fetch you 5 pieces. You don't really need/want Domi. Primeau would a possibility. Perhaps one of Harris, Brook or Norlinder makes more sense for the D-corps that really only has MacIsaac and Seider in the pipeline. Maybe there's a way to do a sign-and-trade that would keep some of Mantha's cap with the Wings for a few years. That would make a 4-for-1 or 5-for-1 possible.

So you want the Wings to retain and still trade you Mantha, that would cost you more. Poehling has shown nothing thos last year, Mete is a 5 or 6rh defenseman and your pick is 16th. All of this and you want Wings to retain.

That is a HELL NO.

You say he is not worth that then why in the hell is every Hab fan trying to trade for him?

I have seen he is big power forward, so why would Wings give that up?
