with how he's been playing since Allen left Primeau could overtake Montembeault soon, I wouldn't trade him for a half a point per game ahler who turns 22 this year, and keeping Primeau kinda eliminates the Anderson-Kuemper swap, unless you can flip Kuemper to another team immediately

I get that. Was mostly to get Anderson off the team. Not eager to trade Primeau at all, but this is probably the most he could get if traded right now.

legare was traded for durandeau, so evidently he is alrdy gone

if that's all he gets there's no reason to move him, he's a good goalie and young enough that he can keep improving

okay so

1- Acquiring Darcy Kuemper and then trading Primeau makes zero sens from our perspective. We don’t need a washed up goalie signed for four more years. We can just hope Anderson bounces back. And with the way Primeau has been playing lately, in no world we are moving him. So easy No to that first deal.

2- I’d say that Ollauson isn’t very exciting as a prospect, yes he’s a first rounder but he isn’t that top guy where are looking for. He would be in the same category or even behind Beck Mesar Kapanen. Rather keep Primeau.
So No this deal also.

3- Really like the Tomasino trade. Good one. Would do it. NSH is stacked upfront with Kemell Wood Evangelista Schaiefer Tomasino L’Hereux. Adding a young dmen would be something that interest them. Deal on this one.

4- Can’t see FLA parting ways with Lundell. Their plan is that he can fill that 2C role when Bennett is going to walk. Invested and developed him a ton, doubt they trade him. And with the cap situation they’re going to be in, and what Lundell is going to ask, I think they’re going to resign him at a cheap 2.5M aav. But COL traded Newhook when they were competitive. So we never know. Personally from a habs POV deal but FLA pov No Deal.

Even tho Hughes said Playoffs is the goal, I don’t think DeBrusk is a fit. He’s going to look for a 5x5 or something like that. Maybe look at Marchessault on a Giroux type of deal.

Florida isn't trading Anton Lundell for futures only, Florida is in their cup window now. Futures mean absolutely nothing to them. Lundell only gets moved for a high end Dman that's NHL ready now or a high end winger which ever Zito wants.

Fair on the Primeau assessment, like I said I tried to get rid of Anderson in a creative way. I'm also not overly high on Primeau and I'd be comfortable trading him.

COL traded Newhook during their window because he was not developing fast enough to take the roster spot they penciled him into, and brought a more ready forward in Colton. Lundell is less and less productive each season, so they might want to use that money to re-sign Reinhart/Montour who are more important to their current window.

As for DeBrusk, I don't see any team being comfortable giving him term, so I had him on a Bertuzzi deal. I don't have interest in another small top 6 guy in Marchessault as good as he is.

That's kinda the point. COL traded Newhook during their window because he was not developing fast enough to take the roster spot they penciled him into, and brought a more ready forward in Colton. Lundell is less and less productive each season, so they might want to use that money to re-sign Reinhart/Montour and eventually Bennett who are more important to their current window.

It might be just me, But I would imagine that Bill Zito would try to move Sam Bennett over Anton Lundell. Zito seems to really like Lundell and I just can't see him moving him anytime soon.

Avs decline. They just signed their back up for next year.

Umm.

Just looks what the Avs did when they traded Alex Newhook away : they maked a SECOND TRADE for Colton with their Draft picks..........

Just thinks a little bit that the 2nd trade option for something that the Panthers will gonna need is a realistic option.

Like I stated in a previous post, Bill Zito more than likely deals Sam Bennett before trading Anton Lundell who he's extremely high on.

I heard the same thing to, but Florida are now on a '' Win mode ''.

I'm all for getting Kuemper off the team but that's gonna be a rather quick no from DC

Avs have a better backup in Annunen but thanks for popping by, y'all come back now, ya hear.

Dont use logic on the poor guy. He cant see but through tunnel vision
