Description
Just curious what Habs fans and others think the best option is for MTL to upgrade their RW position with a lower cost option (via trade or UFA). I've placed potential RW on LTIR in order of my preference. I think Josh Anderson from CBJ would be the best fit.

I haven't resigned Mete as he could be used to complete one of the below trades or sent somewhere else. Ultimately, if he's resigned, it can't be for more than 2 yrs at less than $1M per year cap hit. Once Romanov shows he's the real deal, Mete becomes expendable imo.

    It all depends on the price

    Simmonds will get an other 1 year deal, but closer to league minimum because it was not effective last season. 1y 1m for no risk no reward

    Anderson has a part of risk due to injury, but he was great to see when healthy, he's so powerful. CBJ probably wants NHL assets and not futures. I don't think they can find a match with MTL. For picks I do it

    Virtanen has a **** attitude, MTL cleared players with **** attitudes, hard to see Bergevin bring you unless he think its players can act like leaders and turn things around for Virtanen

    I'm not ready to overpay for Boeser. VAN isnt shopping either. They would want a great offer and i would not give them that.

    edit: I could add that I saw a wanna-be insider report that CHI had talks with MTL about Saad + retained salary. Because it's a 1y deal, I'd like that cause that. Could be 2nd + 4th, similar to Anderson. Also, got an offersheet idea from Godin (Athletic). I'd offer 4.35m for 4 years (cost 2nd 2021). Target DAL that has tight cap situation with bonus. Doubtful now that Alzner is bought up tho

    Yeah, as cheaper options Anderson and Virtanen make sense, I've heard, as seem above a lot about Virtanens issues, so whatever management decides I'd be on board with.
    I've fallen on the Craig Smith as a plan C+ option bandwagon lately. As long as he's under 4 Mil and like 3 years?
