Zadina just left a contract that guaranteed him 4 mil. He’s not going to play on another rebuilding team for that.

dont think he cares much about rebuilding team or not, he just wants ice time. mtl is not the best place for him for that though.

Wouldn't mind trading for Kovacevic, but it'll be at the deadline for a pick.

Why don't you keep Dvorak and turn him around. Hawks don't want him.

Yeah we dont trust DET fans opinions on Zadina
Everyone else , sure no issues.

But you guys insisted for years that he had such a high value trade wise.
It reminded me of EDM fans with Puljujarvi but they at least knew it was more wishful thinking then fact.
DET fans Insisted a 2nd and a good prospect was "low balling " for over a year now.


Again the rest of your prospects you guys are reasonable with
But Zadina for some reason you guys treated like a 1st OA pick.
So clearly there's a disconnect somewhere in your fanbase

We'll trade him at the Deadline
RS for an extra year and package him for a Plekanec return or slightly better.(We got 2nd and 2 prospects we flipped right away for Kulak)

That said Beck seems determined that this spot is already his
Given his play at camp last year he might not be wrong.
But that said easier to sell Evans cheap at camp if that happens then flip Dvorak at the TDL


But with Laval Roster packed this year with Junior players turning pro
Its a hard sell to put him in the AHL if he steps up as it would me giving up a good piece demoting them to the ECHL to protect Evans and Dvorak
Personally i'd trade him to DAL for Faksa as its basically on par for Value with DAL getting a bit younger in the deal
MTL's upside is Faksa can communicate to Slafkovsky a lot of what he was missing last year as his English and French is shaky at best and his comprehension with Media is very low.

Kotkanemi was the same way at 18 so we got Joel Armia in addition to Lehkonen and Niemi to help him transition and learn quicker.
Faksa would accomplish that as Czech and Slovak are based of the same written word like France or Quebec French vs Acadian(Different but similar)

Uhhh not this Detroit fan

Kings are better off giving Turcotte a chance rather than acquiring 2 players which one is at most a depth defenseman and another is a AHL goalie.
