Cooley and Michkov

Created by: JeffGorton
Team: 2023-24 Montreal Canadiens
Initial Creation Date: May 20, 2023
Published: May 20, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Forget Dubois, apparently Cooley wants out. Ill pay a bunch more for him

Habs take Michkov with #5

Habs draft Reinbacher 14th but if the 14th pick is needed for the trade, id add it in instead of either the 2025 1st or the FLA pick

Pens get a 20 goal PWF and a young bruising LHD with a 4th to move down 23 spots, idk if theyd prefer Xhekaj or the 3rd but my thinking is that they want some young nhl players to fill out their roster for one last chance with the core of Crosby, Malkin and Letang

Lol Arizona declines imagine you're trying to get pick 3 in this draft what would it take? Pick 5 starts the conversation!

No way Arizona trades Cooley to MTL without one of 5OA or Slafkovsky included

I see you say the dumbest takes on this app but this is by far one of the worst. Cooley would be drafted around 7th this draft

Add in the part where he wants out and could easily decide to not sign his elc and become a FA

Everyone I name is either better or equal to him

Bedard
Fanitli
Carlsson
Michkov
Smith
Benson

So you think Cooley is worth more than someone picked before him in the same draft or Michkov. Like i said to Howie, Cooley would be picked 7th in this draft

Michkov > Cooley every day of the week.

And when you trade someone, youll almost never get equal or above value in a single asset. This trade has 3 1st rounders and 2 2nd rounders involved

Its essentially all of those pieces for Reinbacher. Maybe as a package rn its an overpay but long term it would be worth it

Pens fan agree for Kapanen, fla first, a third, Norlinder and a fourth. No need to add Anderson or Xhekaj

will n ot cost much to get cooley if he goes the adam fox way, Rangers got Fox for 2x 2nds, Cooleys price will be similar since ARI has absolutely no leverage in any deal

Pens decline. You have the 1st rounder going the wrong way. Pens will take Anderson off your hands for Montreal’s 2023 1st round pick and xhekaj. We ain’t paying for your albatross of a cap dump though.

It’s highly unlikely Cooley takes that route

Cooley would go 3rd or 4th overall in this draft.

Cooley looks like a franchise 1C which are extremely hard to find, it would take an overpay to acquire him.

I personally would see how this all plays our with the Yotes, Cooley has decided not to turn pro because of it. He may run out the clock on the Yotes and you can take a run at him for free

Cooley is a product of NTDP and has a year of NCAA under his belt. Both of which are a bit more projectable than CHL. I think both of Montreals 1st rounders this year would have to be on the table.

It would hurt his development and earning potential by playing college hockey for 3 more years

Anderson would be the pens 5th best goal scorer on the roster but yes again hes a cap dump and garbage and youd have to pay an arm and a leg to get rid of him

The only way that happens is if somehow Smith, Calsson, Michkov, Bedard or Fantilli arent available at the 5th spot

See how theres 5 names so thats not possible

Probably a dead-end road then. Just keep the picks and maybe try to use a few of those assets to move a contract or two.

Yes he’s a cap dump. The pens could get just as good, if not better for a similar cap hit in free agency if they want. And no he wouldn’t be the pens 5th best goal scorer.

So are the 61 players picked before Lane Hutson in last years draft all worth more than him?

I don't agree that he needs a 1st to move but at least a 3rd. He isn't good.

Pens with more expected goals than Anderson:
Guentzel
Rust
Rakell
Crosby
Malkin
Zucker (if they bring him back)

Anderson had 3 more expected goals than Jeff Carter (who was 7th on the Pens last year)
