Thread: flip flop 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>I'm a bigger fan of the 2nd deal myself as well

Henri j is fine enough but just not for us is all with Weber , Petry and an expansion draft just around the corner we only have 1 Dman we can protect as is thanks to their NMC/NTC.

now getting a NCAA guy(i think he was anyways) , NHL'er we wouldnt mind losing in the expansion who can fill a void now and a pick which is obviously the main motivation here .

If you wanted to do a deal for Henri J with pieces that are as Certain or Uncertain depending on if you're glass half full or empty , then sure i'd do that .
Poehling for jokijaru straight up for example and i covet our Power Center but i feel the value is about the same as is their upside
not that it matters but Eichel gets another American to play with and Kotkanemi gets another Finn

but i'd still rather not trade for him because i think BUF values him similar to how we value Poehling. (i'm sure a habs fan will tell me off soon for even suggesting Poehling haha)</div></div>

My takeaway is that Max Domi seems like he is definitely expendable to the Habs and checks every single box for the Sabres. He can takeover 2C until Cozens is ready, has chemistry with Reinhart from the WJC, can move to the wing if Cozens is ready sooner than expected. Fun times.

Thread: flip flop 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>yeah sure a player who's shown he can score 70+ points with 3rd line players on his wing , lets give him away for a player who's established value is essentially Ylonen (A Nylander has been dissapointing in CHI to )

to me it goes like this .

Domi and a 5th(2nd might be stretching it but not by much so MTL adds a 5th to help balance things)
for
jokiharu , Rodriguez and a 2nd (rodriguez is a decent player who's an RFA but likely to just signing a 1 year to get to his 27th birthday when he becomes a UFA by )

or and the one i prefer :
Domi and a 2nd (a 1st is reaching even though the players taken are less skilled in MS case or at a career low value in CM )
for
Samuelsson , Miller and a 1st (top 10 protected)


Miller was a Julien guy in BOS so im kinda hoping he can rebound here and he can work out for a number for reasons including if he gains value we can expose him at the draft and protect Chiarot indirectly . Until then he's a solid 3rd pair RD that allows us to keep Fleury developing in Laval so we dont break him like Beaulieu and Tinordi .
Samuelsson if we're lucky will one day become a Ben Chiarot type player . He's got size , hockey IQ , alright speed for a 6'4 220+ pound big hitter.
i think if developed right he's you're ideal 3rd pair guy who will play both PP and PK at around 20-22 minutes a night in his prime maybe a little more .
the 1st is the real interest here because whether its this year or next an extra top prospect to develop will help us fill out the holes left behind by Suzuki,Kotkanemi and soon Poehling .</div></div>

Whole heartedly disagree with your take on Jokiharju. He’s been very good this year, and of course is very young and cheap.

That being said, the Colin Miler package deal sounds intriguing. If GMJB can acquire another 1st round pick (say from a Risto deal) it becomes very doable.

Thread: Massive offer for Cirelli
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>My valuation? I'm more curious about yours and why. Any player that's getting traded for essentially 2 1st round picks, a mid round pick, a very good young d-man prospect and a good young NHL ready forward better be a franchise changing type player. Cirelli is not that by any stretch

Edit: plus there is NO way you're essentially getting 2 1st round picks and a 3rd for Ristolainen. He's very overrated. Stats and eye tests prove that</div></div>

Where are you seeing 2 first round picks? The NJD 2nd rounder pick is in 2021. Used the Travis Hamonic trade as a barometer.

Regardless that’s Not really a massive point. I’d probably be fine with getting Vegas 1st round and just a 2nd or whatever.

That being said I knew the sticking point would be Buffalo or Vegas’ 1st rounder. It all depends on where they land. Say BUF lands around 10:
I’d be willing to trade 10, Mittelstadt and a later pick (5round or later). That’s more than fair.
