Team: 2019-20 Montreal Canadiens
Initial Creation Date: Sep. 1, 2019
Published: Sep. 1, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
This should help both teams, Montreal gets a good young player locked up for a while. Winnipeg get Cap space, young D ready to play now, Established Player in Lehkonen a good prospect and our stud draft this year.

I got to watch Drouin and Ehlers play together in Halifax. Maybe this will wake up Drouin

Caufield's actual value right now is probably higher than Ehlers right now. No from Montreal

I would say yes for the Habs. You have drop Alzner to Ahl. Sign Markov and see if Kulak can play R.D.

Ehlers is nice but Habs should continue their cap efficient rebuild not to acquire a 6m winger. "Wake up Drouin"? Ehlers isn't a miracle worker, Drouin is what he is.

It isn’t. Hype machine is working OT on this one. He is undesized, one dimensional, benefitted by great teammates and inferior competition. He’s a good prospect. But Habs fans are going overboard.

Ehlers is decent, but also only had 37 points last year and is making 6 million. He is a winger, which is the position the habs dont need. Like Caufield or not he is their top prospect who has potential to be a legit NHL star. No one is trading him for Ehlers. And to add on top of Caufield...no chance.

I did not say anything about the trade. I agree the Habs don’t make it. My point was Habs fans are pretty ridiculous as to Caulfield and his value. They are acting like he is Gretzky, Lemieux, Orr all roled into one. He isn’t. ??‍♂️

So if the Oilers offered McDavid for Caulfied, JK and a couple of picks they’d decline?

There is no such thing and he certainly is not. As i said above....hype machine working OT.

No one is untouchable. And it's not habs fans that are putting Caufield on a pedestal. Scouts, analysts, reporters are all putting Caufield on a pedestal. The Athletic just had a couple articles which have put Caufield ahead of Suzuki and Poehling on their habs prospects rankings.

I didnt say Caufield was going to be better, I'm saying his actual trade value is higher. Which it is, weather you like it or not. In my opinion I dont see any team trading their top prospect for Ehlers.

Really?

You would not trade Caulfield straight up for Cody Glass? Eric Brannstrom? Martin Necas?

C’mon, stop with the stupidity.

No one in their right mind would trade KK and Caufield for one of those three.

He was saying he would not package KK and Caulfield for anyone other than McJesus or MacKinnon.

My reply was Caulfield STRAIGHT UP for....in an effort to establish that he is not untouchable as he had said, and what he thinks his value is. Pretty basic stuff. Should not need to be explained.

And i did not call him stupid. The hype around Caulfield and his supposed value is stupid.

Reading comprehension....try it.

Always worried when a player is labelled one dimensional. I have never seen him play, obviously Gofnut has seen plenty of games that Caufield has played in over the last couple of years. Why is he one dimensional? Is he lazy getting back when the puck is turned over and starts back up the ice? Does he struggle covering his man in the defensive zone? Does he fail to cover up for his team mates when they make a rush or get caught out of position? Does he struggle to get the puck out of the defensive zone when it is sent around the boards on his side of the rink? Just curious what areas specifically he struggles in regarding defensive responsibilities, and would like to get the scouting report from someone who obviously watches a lot of his games. Thanks.

Yes and he was out hurt for a good part of the year. I have seen him play wit Drouin, they are a good combo

At 6 mil for 6 more years, at today's standards that is efficient

Caufield is 1 of MTLs top prospects, the top prospect depending on who is doing the ranking, so he is untouchable in anything resembling a fair trade. Also, as I have pointed out on several other Ehlers to MTL threads, yes Ehlers would be an upgrade among left handed wingers for MTL (unless Domi shifts to wing and has a similar season to last) and he has a decent contract with decent term, but he isn't an upgrade worth paying a large cost for.
Down the middle going forward I think the hope in MTL is Kotkaniemi, Poehling, and either Suzuki or a resigned Danault to round out the top 9, the RW would likely be a resigned Gallagher, Caufield and either Suzuki if Danault stays or maybe they keep Armia, that leaves Domi and Drouin under team control moving forward at LW with Lehkonen playing 3rd line to round out the top 9. Ehlers should be an improvement on this group, but again it's not a massive improvement, so MTL's management would likely prefer to gamble on Caufield living up to his predraft hype (most mock drafts had him top 10, comparisons to DeBrincat) and Drouin finding some consistency, rather than take the PR hit of trading their most recent 1st round pick. LW just isn't what MTL needs right now, so they aren't paying fair price for a LW who is a minor improvement.

Not good since he kept putting up ridiculous numbers even after he got traded.
