Thread: MTL lines vs PIT-- Romonov can play Kot Mete not ready
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>Pens SHOULD handle this team with ease. In a normal playoff series they would. But with this huge break who knows what’s gonna happen. The 24 team playoff is a money grab for the NHL. A team like MTL has no right to be in the playoffs.</div></div>

100% this a huge cash grab, that imo would cheapen the accomplishment of the winner. no matter who that winner might be. they'll always have that asterisks next to their title for not having been able to win the "traditional" way.
For if MTL deserve to be in the playoffs, it depends imo... I would much rather have a lottery pick than play a few half-baked playoff matches. BUT if the NHL removes MTLs draft lottery pick, then hell yes they "deserve" to be in this 24 team playoff race...

Thread: Realistic off-season and lines chemistry
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMs</b></div><div>I think you’re late on the news but Bergevin ALREADY said he’ll only sign ONE (1) of Hillis McShane Fonstad Houde. Cam Hillis will be the guy no question</div></div>

I remember reading somewhere that "likely" only one gets signed, but that doesn't mean much for the time being. Too many variables need to happen first. Even in the scenario you have, Habs organization contracts would be around 44-45.

What if Okulov doesn't sign? Kovalchuk doesn't come back? If there's a compliance buyout because of the flat cap, does MTL get rid of Alzner to free up a contract spot.

Hillis is gonna be signed, no doubt. but I'd wager money one of the three of Houde, Fonstad, and McShane are signed too.

<strong>caufield should stay another year in the NCAA.....</strong>
I disagree, I say sign him, see if he can prove he's NHL ready, if not send him to Laval. At least there he can start adapting to pro hockey, Wisconsin are garbage (lack depth and goaltending). If he were playing for Cornell, Minn state, North Dakota, or even Boston college i'd say stay in the NCAA, but he's not.
<strong>Forget A.LAFRENIERE we wont get the first pick....</strong>
no way for you to definitively know that. just keep your fingers crossed. If Habs don't get him, evryone at LW gets bumped up. I still see no issues.
<strong>Too expensive for Gaudreau and DUBOIS.... </strong>
Perhaps...but look at that lineup man, deep at every position....no way that isn't a young legit playoff team that oozes contending potential.
