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. Also....Crosby is still better and cheaper...sooooooooo

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.

Thread: Dunn because its the new thing

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).

Thread: TJTwolfs revised proposal

I think I'd actually do this deal. The defensive "downgrade" is made up for with Kadri having a bit more offensive talent. and it's not like Kadri isn't a good defensive player either. Would suck to see Danault go, but replacing him with someone "similar" at $4.5mil is worth it with the salary cap being what it is. Not to mention Habs would have a better chance at being able to afford extending Tatar

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MTLFAN27</b></div><div>I thought it was a good game overall for the Habs last night. They outplayed Vancouver for the first 2 periods but slipped up in the first 6ish minutes of the 3rd. I was really impressed with the response last night after the 2-2 goal by VAN. I thought Toffoli-KK-Perry was our best line last night and I thought Perry was our best player. Price played well last night. He made one great save on Virtanen and fought through traffic to make saves all night. Great win for the Habs!</div></div>

Suzuki gets so much love and attention in the media right now (well deserved), that KK is slowing becoming an underrated guy. During the VAN series I think KK was the better C (at 5v5) of the two.

Thread: A Metey trade

Only way I see Mete getting moved is if they can get a player of similar age, who is waivers exempt. Doesn’t need to be a dman coming back, I’m sure Habs are comfortable with Fleury as their 7th dman.

Then again, there’s really no rush to move him, as others have mentioned above, if injuries really do get bad, and Habs don’t have the cap to insert Frolik, they can simply use Mete as a forward or a dressed 7th defensemen. Not ideal but as the season moves along, they’ll accrue enough cap to insert Frolik, then problem solved.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>As a habs fan I love this, as a Jets fan, not so much.

Really sad to see Laine go. PLD will be good, but it’s not like Winnipeg needed a centre. Hopefully PLD fits there.

And CBJ instantly becomes one of the most interesting teams in the NHL, to see what happens with Laine when he’s back from injury/quarantine. CBJ now has Max Domi as their #1C, and Laine ends up with just as good (or worse) line ayes as he had in Winnipeg. And the Torts-Laine dynamic is probably what is most fascinating about this.

Just because of the situations both teams were forced into, I think this might be a lose-lose.</div></div>

Definitely a lose-lose for Laine and PLD. A maybe for the Jets, a win for CBJ and Roslovic
