every other defensive buyer cursing the panthers right now

I saw a couple, was one on here the other day expecting the Blues to give up something like a 1st, Neighbours, Bolduc and Perunovich.

You misread the stats I posted.

Not sure if you're speaking about me and the few other active Hab fans on this forum thread, but we were all ****ing around

thanks for replying, i will check them out

Oh dear Lord

I don't remember who it was, I often don't even look at who made the AGM, but I don't think it was you. So I'm not specifically commenting on anyone, just tell what I saw.

These conditions pick, always confuse me, anyway Montreal is now beginning of rebuilding team. It just going to take time to improve the team. Have fun, everyone.

Hard to believe Toffoli’s contract would be a detriment with the way he’s produced – unlike Chiarot he’s a gift that will keep on giving – but I guess a player’s trade value is more about how many other teams are bidding for him than how much use the receiving team is going to get out of him, so you could be right. More teams can bid on a deadline rental because of the salary retention, which sellers don’t mind doing for the current season because they’ve already written it off, but they’re usually reluctant to do it beyond that. Kudos to Treliving for leaving Calgary with enough cap space to bid on Toffoli. Even if he has to trade him during the summer to sign Gaudreau, he should be able to get back something close to what he paid for him. Or maybe Gaudreau leaves and Toffoli stays.

We never said 1st + A prospect. Pelletier would've been instead of the 1st. All Habs fans were expecting 1st + 3rd for chiarot, and we practically got 1st + 3rd + 4th.
No way we said 1st + Pelltier

I thought you blocked me? You know as well as I do that there were plenty of post with Holloway and a 1st, Pelletier and a 1st, Neighbours and a 1st, why choose to lie?

"Well, this is an absolute no brainer for us here in Montreal. I'm going to accept this deal before you change your mind about it." -Kent Hughes, NHL 22

If people proposed that trade, I'd think of them as crazy. I probably saw a couple of those, but I mostly saw 1st + 3rd or less for chiarot. Look at my posts of acmgs, I never had more than 1st + 3rd for him.
I blocked you, but I wanted to see what you posted in this thread, and I saw you quote me, so I responded.

Sup

I thought it was a nasty overpay, but then I saw the 1st was top ten protected

Actually, quite a few did.

A pretty meaningless condition, Florida likely won;t be anywhere near the bottom 10 of the league.

i think its this years first that buffalu owns that is protected, not the 2023 pick.

I always knew Chiarot could fetch a 1st+ from some chump GM, but really? Bill Zito? I thought he knew better than this. If this ends up like the Savard trade did for the Lightning last season this will all be forgotten, but if not? Huge miss.

Sidenote, as a Wings fan this makes me optimistic for the potential return on Leddy

I’m still scratching my head as to why Florida did this

"analytics hate him" - like no, he's an okay middle pairing defenseman. I just wouldn't pay a 1st rounder for that.

I mean Colorado just gave up a 2nd for a meh #5. He's definitely worth a 1st as a rental

If FLA wins the Cup, they win the trade. If they lose in the playoffs, they lose the trade. Very simple. MTL wins no matter what.

Or...
Just maybe...

Colorado also overpaid?

That's the market, if everyone is "overpaying" then is anyone overpaying?
