Absolutely no to the Montreal trade

Can't see EDM being interested in Roslovic. I think they'd be looking for a 4C and, more specifically, one who's known for both consistency & stout defending. While he has speed that could potentially help him succeed next to Draisaitl, Roslovic is neither of the things that EDM would be seeking. And that's without mentioning the cap issues.

Buffalo declines

Yeah Habs aren't trading Roy. 🙄

Sabres have no reason to add Provorov with Dahlin and Power there.

And no reason to take on the Elvis contract.

That's gonna be a no from buffalo dawg

So Kuraly then?
He's a perfect 4th line center, great defensively and plays with an edge...cheaper too

Yeah I honestly don't know enough about the habs prospects but Roy seems nhl middle 6 ready maybe next year? And I knew the names I recognized would result in instant angry declines, so who would fit better?

Provorov idea, it's mainly that he's a "better player" then Samuelsson and on a shorter contract that could easily get moved next TDL if no playoffs again. And for CBJ the Samuelsson long term contrct is a great thing for a guaranteed defensive player.
The goalies included here , take it or leave it really...I like Elvis , he just needs a better coached team in front of him.

I'm hardly a Habs prospects expert. 🤣

But I do know Habs fans rate Roy quite high. 😁

Don't Habs fans rate every Habs prospect quite high... 🤔

Well yes. LOL

Meh, Idk... still think if the Babcock fiasco hadn't happened and they didn't get besieged with injuries early on the Jackets season likely wouldn't of gone as poorly as it has.

Get a real head coach cause Vincent and that clown before him aren't NHL head coaches, do a couple lineup tweaks in the offseason and come back with mostly the same group and it might not be so bad.

Thats a better lineup then its record but when 💩 is going downhill for a team it really starts to pile up and the pile looks worse then it is. I'm not saying this is a championship team but it's better then a bottom 5 team.

Do think this Jackets team needs a couple more veterans though cause there's too many kids in the lineup at once, some veteran voices that have been around the block would help stabilize things.

Honestly? Probably not anything that would be of interest lol Boqvist we may toss a pick at but I don't see Laine in MTL nor do I see him as a target at this point. Bemstrom wouldn't be super high on the radar either. Most of this trade isn't a fit for MTL.

That Sabre trade is horrendous for Buffalo

Does Winnipeg fans rate every prospect quite High … 🤔
The same exercice could be done with all the team.

That being said, Roy is not going anywhere unless we gets a star players and Laine is not what MTL need. Big baby boy who is underachieving since is first 2 season and who can’t stay healthy. On the other hand, Roy has been one of the best prospect for the past 3 seasons now. He dominate the CHL for 2 seasons, literally destroyed the Qjmhl. He was a dominant force at the Wjc for the 2 gold medal run. He has been improving since the day he got drafted and still does to this day. He is having a great rookie season in Ahl. There nothing there that doesn’t deserve is a rate value.

First Roy is Mtl best forward prospect and he is developing like a futur 2 way versatile players that can play with anybody in this league since he got a elite hockey IQ. He still nees to improve is skating but that something fixable.

That being said, Laine value isn’t that high. You won’t get a top 10 pick for him. Mtl is in a rebuilt process and Laine is clearly not the type of players that Hugues and Gorton try to built around. Laine is a more talented Mike Hoffman. He have all the talent of the world but he doesn’t always put the effort. Hurricanes would probably take a gamble on him since Aho and him had such chemistry back then. Bit i don’t see a team with top 10 pick trading that pick for Laine.

Are you retaining 50%? Because, if not, the cap is still an issue. Hell, the cap is technically still an issue even at 1.25mil

The problem is simply Laine to Montreal, before even considering the proposal itself. Anyone with 3 years or less to UFA is not a good target until this is a playoff team. We gain nothing from having him this year and maybe not even next year.
We need to be a playoff team before we can deal in shorter term contracts. Our trade targets are players who remain under team control beyond their current contract.

We can explore "buy low" opportunities and hope to either re-sign or flip for assets at a later date, but not for our top end pieces.

Yea just like the trade above*
1.25 is too much ? Oof

I'd consider it for a 3rd. Would require some cap finesse, but yeah 1.25mil would be tough to fit.

I don't think Jets fans rate their prospects quite as highly as Habs fans do.

So does habs fan think that they don’t rate their prospects highly then other franchise. Roy is definitely the best forward prospect in Mtl and he is on of the good one around the NHL. Forget the he was drafted 5th round if the draft was redo today he would definitely be a top 15 maybe top 10. Why a team like Mtl who definitely lack offense would trade their only top 6 potential prospect? On top of that for a injury prone, not hard working lazy ass, underachieving winger who will hit the market soon. Make absolutely no sense.
