Montreal rejects both trades.

no they dont
you do fine but you dont speak for MTL fans i'm pretty sure as i've been one 32 years and rarely agree with you

MTL needs an upgrade because Kulak's a forward pretending to play defense and whomever he is paired with usually has a bad night . (Petry had a few ****ty games a at the end of the 8 game skid where he was staring a hole through Kulak like he was gonna kill him

That's fine. You don't have to agree with me. Brendan Smith isn't anything better than a #6 defensemen and we already have Reilly and Kulak to fill that role. We aren't going to waste a pick for another one.

We aren't going to acquire Bjudstad because he isn't needed. Why would we spend 5.1 Million a year to replace Byron for someone slower and isn't as effective in that role?

Montreal rejects both.

I don't know why I can't quote you, Kulak has been playing solid lately, he started off awful and that's why he lost his spot, but he's came back since then. The only reason he is being exposed is because he's playing top 4 minutes, when he's a 3rd liner defensemen. When Mete comes back, all will be good.

Its not really that Bjugstad isn't fitting its that he has had trouble staying healthy this season. I also think we would wanna move his contract with the amount of RFAs we have next summer. Wouldn't really need Byron would take a couple picks for him instead.

I cant quote either, but I agree that Billy undervalue Kulak. Smith has 0 value and would be a healthy scratch just like Reilly or Folin.

Byron for Bjugstad 1 for 1 might be interesting for MTL but PIT have someone similar to Byron in Tanev locked for 6 years. I like the lines with Bjugstad. Byron's contract might be scary due to how he started the year so I might say yes if Im MTL

@JordanFerreira99

Montreal doesn't want Bjudstad though. He's a more expensive bottom 6 player and we already have plenty of those. I imagine a rebuilding team would be interested in him in a veteran role.

@pinslack

Byron isn't here to put up points, We would like more production from him, but he was still playing 5V5 and PK time to his ability.

Just checked with my source in MTL and they have reviewed, seriously considered and rejected this trade. E4

Quote's are working again .

Habs ECF 2010 we lost because we went in with a small team and got pushed around by a bigger PHI team .
Habs ECF 2014 we lost because we went in with a smaller team and NYR pushed us around with no one to keep Kreider in check .

Bjugstad is a crappy fighter but he like Armia could thrive here if he's willing to use is size .

Smith's a player who hits , shot blocks and can produce offensively . In every category but cap he's superior then Kulak who once every 5-6 games produces a point to make up for the fact he isnt hitting or blocking shots . Petry suffered playing with him , Weber suffered playing with him. Kulaks alright for regular season but come playoffs he's not going to survive to a finals . Smith is built like a brick **** house .

both players are over paid but WTF does it matter when we got cap to spare for the length of their term only needing it to pay the Gallaghers,Danaults,Tatars, Petrys,Armias,Kotkanemi's , Poehlings ,Lehkonen's and replacements for those you dont make an offer on .

Saving cap only matters if you're hopefully enough to think MB can change and all of a sudden land a star player here . (not possible )
Otherwise the caps just being wasted .

Molsons running outta options
His brothers now President as of a few months ago
This create's a situation where another missed playoffs could drag down his profits for year 1 in charge after being the first Molson in 30+ years to regain control of the company .

2 ECF lost because we couldnt defend our talent
if we dont figure out a way to get with the program there's no cup for us anytime soon.

The Kotkanemi incident should increase people's willingness to hire size as a deterrent and atleast 1 scrapper

Sent a long ass message, but the page glitched so I lost it all.

Price won us those games to get us into a playoff spot and we exploited him to the best of our ability. We were outmatched in every sense, It has nothing to do with size, it was simply a ****ty run system, and we were outmatched.

Kulak is a steady reliable defensemen, he rarely makes mistakes. He is a #6 defensemen, of course he made Petry and Weber worse.

Byron could be argued as being better than Bjudstad, why pay 1.7 Million extra for no reason? We don't have to spend up to the ceiling.

I'd take cap dumps with that cap space.

I give zero ****s about a multinational brewing company. I’m here about the rumours. My sources will confirm that.

Alright what about Jankowski
he fills the same needs and off to an equally bad start.

even if he just fills out our 4th line his size helps us in the playoffs .
he's a solid back checker and can take faceoffs from wing at a higher rate then Weal

what y'all will like better i'm sure is his cap is like 1.7m or something like that .
he's got way less upside on the PP then Bjugstad though

if you're really Eklund you dont have sources
as far as ive seen and read you're the origin of rumors even devoting a site to it .

I have no problem getting Jankowski, Just depending on what we give up. He has potential and he's still young so I would take the chance on him. Bargain Bin Bergevin knows what he's doing.

Kulak reliable ?
he's played no more then 6 consecutive games all year long and scratched 11 times

Kulak and Weal are both ok bottom 6 players for a team with no playoff hopes but when it comes to contenders you need to upgrade those pieces even if only slightly .


Maybe these players i suggested arent the solution but lets not pretend playoffs are even possible if these 2 are regulars

I am pretty resourceful and I often source sources from the sourcerer. Sourcing sources sourcing from the source often uses a lot of resources.

a 5th in 2021 conditional - Janko has to play 10 regular season games for MTL and if he does it becomes a 5th in 2020 .

he's playing 4th line with 1 point in 30 games so he'll get no higher then a 4th .

Not sure what having him scratched has to do with him being reliable. He just doesn't do anything at a good level, but he doesn't make mistakes.

I agree, but Brendan Smith and Nick Bjudstad aren't those options.

What's the full trade?

so a troll with no social life or opinion worth putting their own name behind .
i kinda figured

Boy, you must have quite the lively social life with all the time spent on capfriendly. Lol.

Janko

for

5th in 2021 - condition that if Janko plays 10 games this year for MTL it becomes a 5th in 2020

Janko's having a horrible year but this gives CGY a way to move on and get something out of it .
i based the price on what we gave for King a couple years ago in a similar declining position

i dont know who i'd get for a Shot blocking D cheap though
