The Slaf glazing by Montreal’s media is starting to become anoying

Why are we dumping Anderson or buying out Gally when we have 23mil in cap space?

Because they suck

The Anderson deal makes no sense for the Habs since they have enough cap space to keep him however, if they want to move him the Habs would have to send a mid 1st round pick along with Anderson to Chicago as per Puckpedia. Struble as a LHD has no value to the Hawks as that is their position of strength in their prospect pool.

let the glaze continue

Not enough for Necas.

What do you suggest?

Any conversation about Necas to the Habs will have to be circled around one of Suzuki, Caufield, or Slafkovsky being a piece that comes Carolina’s way in return. Canes don’t need dmen, and the ones that Montreal would be offering wouldn’t be much interest, since they would be playing on the 3rd pair with not much opportunities to be anything more, or would be scratched.

As for forwards, the 3 aforementioned forwards would be of interest, but not much else. Futures also isn’t of much interest considering that the Canes have enough as is, but they are also a contender.

Easy no from Carolina. Start with Caufield or Slafkovsky, otherwise, there's nothing interesting here. Barron is meh, a late 1st and a 3rd ain't getting it done. Would you like Honka, a 1st and a 3rd for Caufield? Necas is better than Caufield, so please use that as a comparable

Suzuki>Necas is the problem with this theory.
He's signed to a low cap , never misses a game and has gotten better every year without fail and sitting top 20 in Faceoff Win % over 1000 draws for the first time in his career.

Necas is worth a Caufield for sure , i wouldnt do that trade but the value's there.
But each time i correct you on including Suzuki you do it anyways completely invalidating a fair point .
Its a choice you make that has Habs fans laughing to hard to make any serious counter offer ,as it would if we offered you Caufield for Aho would from a CAR fan POV

Suzuki and Aho are peers, Suzuki's just younger.
Caufield and Necas are peers, Caufield is just younger

Really MTL and CAR just arent good trade partners when it comes to the high end.
That said CAR does need space if they plan on keeping Guetzal to, and i do think he'll re-sign
Kuznetsov has been a home run for you guys and a really saavy pick up
But if you cant manage to get one of your players resigned like a Drury or a Jarvis but thats unlikely at best

CAR filled all their holes and unless they're shopping for a D then im not sure what we have they'd want honestly.
I mean they really didnt spend that much of their draft capital so we cant even really tempt you guys there.

good but he is playing well isnt he. and he is big too. big and skilled definitely a hit..lol

I’m so tired of TVA sport just talking about him as soon as he shoots. That’s annoying

No offense to Struble, but from a trade market point of view, he is worthless. Anderson takes WAYYYY more than that to move.

Sounds like Habs and Canes just don’t make good trade partners in this instance then…
