Gustafsson has a better W.A.R than Hagg + Myers + Braun. Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say he has a negative impact?


Our defense is a mess. I'd be perfectly fine with anyone that wants Braun or Hagg (long time anti-Hagg fan). Myers has to toolset that can be improved.

Gustafsson is just bad. He had a few offensive highlights, but his passing isn't good in his own end. He typically finds himself beat in zone coverage and fails to clear given the chance. I like the move for the Habs if he can turn any of it around or gets decent support, but I am also happy that I do not have to watch him play again this season.

Maybe in the future, but right now, based on NHL games played, Mantha>Caufield


Mantha this year is a .5 ppgm. It's not an amazing production given the fact that he player 18min/night with the best players on that Detroit's team

Well you clearly haven’t been paying attention to the habs or Price. He was playing poorly for a bit before finding his game, and then he got injured.

Since March 2nd (the day Waite was fired, although I doubt correlation equals causation in this case) he’s had a .920 save percentage and a 2.15 GAA.

Flyers pay half of Gustafsson's salary to play for the Habs and the other half to not play for the Flyers.

And they get a seventh round pick out of it after the Hawks got a 3rd for him last year.


Yeah, Flyers got fleeced.

I voted for the Montreal Canadiens.


Just because I want to be annoying and reply on a post from a year ago.
This was the Biggest flyers win in the last 2 years. GUS is so so so so awful.

Gus was Montreal's go-to defenceman on the power play during the run to the Cup Finals.

Yeah, that was funny. They had to give up their 2021 7th-round pick to get it back, but because they were Stanley Cup finalists that year, it was the second-last pick in the draft. The 2022 pick was 7 places higher, so I guess that was a good trade in isolation, but the 2021 pick was also a pick that they traded away and later reacquired. Reacquiring it cost them Ottawa’s 2020 7th-round pick, which was 35 picks higher than the 2021 Montreal pick, so it appears they lost on that one.

Of course there are other variables such as which was the deeper draft, and whether any of the players picked with these picks ever plays in the NHL. I thought it was a longshot for a 7th-round pick to make the NHL, but I picked a year at random (2015), and without checking every player, I immediately recognized 6 names as at least part-time NHLers (though one of those never signed with the team who drafted him – he made the NHL after signing with another team later as a free agent). Those aren’t bad odds, so it looks like these aren’t just throw-away picks. They do have value.
