Description

Assumptions -

Despite winning 8-1 last night, Vancouver is out of the hunt and the future is looking bleak, Petterson has leverage to get away, he can sign his Qualifying offer and walk to UFA next season or file for arbitration and accept the one year award still ending up as a UFA the following year.
Sean Monahan becomes the TDL version that the habs have hoped for in 2022-23.
Kirby Dach progresses and shows he's on the bubble of a being a 1C.

yes exactly, that was my first assumption stated above. "Vancouver is out of the hunt"

it's armchair GM it's all make believe, these are all scenarios that are possible.

Petey also said that he wants to win if he leaves, he probably wound go to MTL

Garland deal is paid market value, Dach is worth a little more than a 1st (as seen as what was paid) then the other 1sts would be late. You are trying to get an MVP calibre, Selke candidate #1 C. There is nothing that he cant do, he shoots, he is a playmaker, he kills penalties, he blocks shots and throws crushing hits. Cody Ceci still hasn’t shaken off the hit. If you want him, quantity is a component, but the value comes from the quality

yes I agree, he's very valuable, and maybe more would be required. Petterson has the leverage though, if he says I'm not signing in vancouver beyond 1 year, the value Vancouver can get back drops significantly.

Getting Savard off that top pairing would be a step in the right direction.

Agreed - but who else can play top pair RD mins? It's savard or Kovacevic.

yep there is no replacement right now. the Youngsters with a chance are Barron and Mailloux and neither have shown they can be counted on at this point. Best is to hope that Savard handles himself adequately against top competition and makes himself a trade target to play on a contending 3rd pair.

Hughes would be fired in an instant if he didn't look into an available Petterson. They were in on Dubois this year and that was a way worse fit for Montreal than Petterson would be.

Peety IS NOT AVAILABLE hes SIGNED with the CANUCKS.
