Same feeling here. I like it with the context that Bergevin put the team in a bad spot and got exposed by Dundon.

Dvorak is an upgrade <strong>right now</strong>, so thumbs up for that. but in terms of asset management, this whole situation is a huge L

Yeah I'm in the same boat, I think there would have to be multiple factors from the Habs side of things that would need to happen to even consider this (which I think the end result would still be no).

Drouin (and his cap hit) would have to be gone, Danault would need to be re-signed, Habs would have to be really comfortable with Evans as their #3C, or be convinced Poehling can take the next step in the next year or 2.

If Danault walks as a UFA, I'd consider it.

Thread: Replacing Drouin with Hyman

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TooMalevolent</b></div><div>I don't think they would like to do it, but they would probably like it less if he was on Montreal, so Toronto matches that offer.

Does TOR really have the cap to sign him at that cap hit??? I know Freddy Anderson is coming off the books, but they still need to replace him and re-sign 7-8 players with only $12mil in cap space.

Thread: Edmundson Allen or Evans from MTL

Habs likely to protect Evans and leave someone like Lehkonen exposed at forward. Imo Habs protect Weber, Petry, Edmundson and leave Chiarot exposed at D.

So I think Seattle will mull over either Lehkonen, Chiarot, or Allen. (All great picks to be honest) I find it hard to believe Seattle picking anyone other than Allen though... Guy is a 1B goalie and with his cap hit is almost too hard to pass on.

Thread: Rumoured Subban ask in 2016

Yeah I've read those rumors as well a while back (don't remember where), but as ColonelX has written, the deal fell apart due to CBJ picking PLD.

Man things would have been so different... Patches might still be captain, Sergachev would probably still be with the Organization....

Thread: Both Evans and Staal in the lineup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CLR</b></div><div>More I think about it , more I think Caufield won’t be a regular this year ; because we have enough depth and don’t really need that experiment. Moreover, the question is we better like Evans or Armia/Byron in? I am not sure I want chariot back with Weber</div></div>

I'd have to agree with you. As much as I'd like to see Caufield, barring an injury, there's literally no room for him.

For Chiarot I'd be willing to give him another shot once he's back. The duo last year was insane how good they were, whereas this year they've been meh....
Maybe it depends on matchups. Let's say Habs are playing the Jets, maybe use that pairing. If its a more speedy team, then split them.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangle</b></div><div>take lehkonen out. hes just expansion bait.

No.

Someone has to be added on the roster that makes enough $$$ to make the cap work. Obviously I'd rather move Byron, but at that point I'd I'm adding negative value. Armia? NSH would have no interest in a UFA, unless they'd flip him. So that leaves Lehky, who holds good value if he were actually on the market. Also, looking at NSH forward group....they'd have no issue protecting him. So if we're talking expansion draft considerations....Mete would probably be the one NSH might want to switch for someone else.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>He will be all in for sure but IMO Harris is the one defenceman I wouldn't touch, Norlinder second.

Personally, I prefer Struble, Ghule over Harris. Both are a full year younger or more, more well rounded, even if Harris has proven to be more offensively driven (doesn't necessarily mean that offense will convert when turning pro). Norlinder I'm not sure where to place him, haven't paid enough attention on him this year.

Thread: Ekholm to Montreal

If Chiarot is out long term, all cap problems go away (mostly..)

Than I’d opt to keep Lehkonen and just stick to a picks + prospects package.
I’d also try and keep Struble, would rather move Harris, Fairbrother, etc. Although there are quite a few who are higher on Harris than Struble.

Didn't read anything on this from anyone, just saw a bunch of posts lately on here of Crosby and wanted to put my own spin on it.

and no way I do this for Malkin... I'm basically emptying the prospect cupboards to try and massively upgrade on Danault (as in looking for an elite 2way Center *wipes a bit of drool thinking of Crosby in a Habs uniform*) Malkin is pure offense, which is still nice, but not what I'd be looking for on this team.

Why tag me? I don't think I ever said Edmundson was an Alzner 2.0. (honestly don't remember lol)

Edmundson had 1 bad game so far and it was the 1st against the leafs. Since then he's been awesome! Him and Petry have been the Habs top defensive pairing by far.

Kulak would almost have to be part of the deal just due to the cap hit. If it was just Mete going back, STL would have to retain a good chunk of Dunn's salary to make it work and the Habs would be almost guaranteed to be adding a 1st...maybe more.

I wouldn't want to give up a first on top of Mete and Kulak. If they can bump it down to a 2nd I'm in. Would make a Dunn-Romanov pairing instead and keep the top 4 pairing as is (great chemistry).
