Description

Hopping on the tank train and let me tell you it might be more fun than a Stanley cup run. Could see the following guys getting traded this year. Some guys have value and some guys don’t have much but asta lavista. The idea is to have the best roster to tank

Send Caufield to AHL. Send Norlinder back to SHL. Reasoning would be because Gorton is purposely keeping Ducharme for the rest of the season because he brings the worse out of every player except maybe Chiarot. Get those two somewhere where they can develop for the season.

I am going to assume price is still a ways away. JE seems to be still minimum a few week.

Final thought on the tank is do whatever it takes to bring Harris in and burn the one year once his season is over

Trades

MTL

Habs retain half. Somewhere in value of a late first or 2nd. Sure everyone can argue how Edmonton would never do that but only time will tell

EDM

Chiarot, Ben

MTL

Been seeing a lot of Toffoli to the flames on here. Is there a way to make it work with no retention and without bringing back monahan? Don’t hate Sean coming back but would probably make the team better today which hurts the tank

CGY

Toffoli, Tyler

MTL

This is more wishful thinking. Could be anywhere but I don’t see any reason MB should have signed him to that deal to play on the fourth line. Any team interested in Armia with his current deal for the next 3.5 years?

ANA

Armia, Joel

Flames need to send Money back preferably not Lucic maybe when Valimaki has confidence again he can take Zadorov's place and he can be the money going back? Doubt that happens because Suttef loves Zadorov type defensemen

Tank? Just keep on playing the player you have.

Can’t they all keep getting injured and I’m afraid it’s going to get better as players drop. Would keep opening day roster if we could cause it has been working

Habs roster is too good to be this bad. Trading a couple of players now, like the ones listed, would ensure they get the pick/rebuild they need.
