Team: 2020-21 Montreal Canadiens

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 8, 2020

Published: Jul. 8, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Alot of available Good-Defense this summer would slowdown the crazienest salary raise as the salary cap would be fixed for many years
Granlund can play C if needed as well than Suzuki if KK or Domi struggle... 60pts guy similar than Tatar
Getting a Better-Solid TOP9

Aquiring a better 2G in DeSmith is a Must... if you don't like the return for the 3rd G in Pittsburgh, we can change the pick for a 3rd
Trading Armia for a Good NHL RHD Honka who want to be out of Dallas (Mtl saves money)
Ti-Paul would joined back is coach favorite Therrien (Mtl saves money) Phily loose only 20 spot on the draft + betting Byron
Leaving Petry, Tatar, Mete as a trade bate for next year signing of Gally, Danault, KK, Lehko, Poehling as we will need 7-9M more$$$

I didn't say DeSmith was a star, i said that he was penciled in as the 2G in Pittsburgh next year after Murray leaves.
Just because Lindgren played in the NHL doesn't mean that he isn't an ECHL level goalie. All that you have to do is watch him to see that.

Habs are not giving up a draft pick, Kulak, or Juulsen for him. I said he was an AHL goalie, not ECHL. He has very little NHL trade value, unless it's for Lindgren one for one, even then, Habs pass.

DeSmith for Lindgren and the Canadians pass?

You really should have stopped while you were ahead.

he's a career minor leaguer. who's not very good. Primeau is a much better option for Habs.

Actually, Lindgren played in the NHL this season, while Desmith, who turns 29 next month, only played in the AHL this past season. Desmith is a fringe AHLer. Not worth a NHL dman (Kulak), let alone a draft pick.

PLayed 36 games two years ago with a saves% @ ,916 and ,921 the otherone before... Pitts decided to try Jarry and did great and stealed DeSmith job...
No doubt he is better than Lindgren at 2G

seriously... 25yo showing 52, 38 (he has 21yo), 45, 72, and 44 (on a 55pts trend).. we can easily say that he is a 50+ NHL pts guy... if playing with good player we could easily see 60+ season after season

I agree he's a 50 point player. At this point in his career, I wouldn't say he's a lock for 60pts or 25goal minimum.
I disagree a 50 pt player is worth 6x6.5M. Maybe I'm wrong. I personally would stay away from a longterm deal with him at this point. I'd offer 2 years x $5M, keep him within RFA window.

DeSmith would need to clear the waivers if they keep him 3rd G... and then MTL would get him for free

or they move him for a pick that costs them nothing.
See how that works.
It's not take your garbage and effect their cap or else.
