Cap ramifications if Habs get and try to keep Hall
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>Wonder if the surgeries to Byron and Drouin change that. Probably not something as drastic as Hall, any other wingers on the market?</div></div>
To me that is silver lining that comes at the perfect time. Poehling should be full time now. Suzuki should be getting more minutes. KK can more minutes now. These guys now have some time play more and be impact players. I'm interested to see how they do.

Cap ramifications if Habs get and try to keep Hall
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>I think giving him the exact same contract as John Tavares <strong>could</strong> be enough to entice him to forgo free agency. As in, full NMC all 7 years. Money all upfront in signing bonuses with minimum base salary. Other than a handful of teams (NYR, TOR, MTL) not many others can do a similar deal structure.
If Hall goes to free agency, I highly doubt MTL get him......unfortunately</div></div>
I have no idea how much he will want but like you said a contract like Tavares that puts in the top 10. I don't think anyone would give him a contract that would put him in the top 5.

Shea Weber
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AmericanSniper</b></div><div>Habs are not trading their captain for Nylander who makes 7M. Weber, one of the premier shutdown defensemen in the game has 1 less point than Nylander who is a one-dimensional offensive player. Bergevin has a good laugh when he sees that on his phone. He then sees you want to give us Cody Ceci too :tearsofjoy :tearsofjoy. The Habs are not going to be the team to help you with your goaltending issues. If you wanted Kinkaid you should've signed him in the off-season.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>Lol that CGY pick will be a late 4th, and the ARI 5th will be an early one... 10 spots max difference. Not sure how useful Thompson will be, but he might possibly be the cheapest rental ever!

Can say this now, Montreal won this trade easily. Thompson might be the best 4th liner in the NHL

Kotkaniemi development discussion
I'd give a relatively simple answer to the many arguments, questions and answers you have.
Julien shouldn't prefer Suzuki to KK simply because KK is playing better than Suzuki. I like the intelligence of Suzuki, but he lacks a quick execution for now. He wouldn't bad on a 4th line, but I'd prefer Cousins or an other Laval player fit for this kind of role.
If Suzuki is sent to Laval, KK should get most of his time, including on PP. I don't mind if he centers a 3rd line, but I'm concerned just like you about his ice time.

Deal with CBJ
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>Again I fully concede that Bjorkstrand holds more value than Armia. But doesn't replacing a 26 year old Murray with a 21 year old Mete make up that difference??? if not, so be it. it's all good. But it's laughable that you think Mete wouldn't even make your D corps.</div></div>
Mere would walk in behind a still solid top four of Jones, Werenski, Savard and Nuttivaara. He’s then have to compete for ice time with Gavrikov, Harrington and Kukan, who all know the system and playing style of the team.
You also have to remember that Murray was the 3rd overall pick and was a top prospect at one point and this the last few years has been very good when he’s been healthy.

If Montreal Fans want to dump Drouin
I'm not going to lie, If Stanley was a better prospect (IMO) I would actually consider this. Only because that 1st is not protected and I feel WPG is in rough spot this year. Its a gamble but a decent one to make.
For me its just that Stanley feels like a prospect in the wrong era. He would be solid in the early 2000's. Right now its becoming apparent that smaller more dynamic skaters like Heinola are the better players to have. If WPG had taken Cholowski in that draft instead, maybe I may actually take this deal. Essentially a LHD prospect whose skill level is that of a late 1st rounder.
With all that said, just to clarify for the countless people who are misinterpreting, Habs fans not moving Drouin because he's a cancer that needs to be got rid of. He's simply the best asset Habs are willing to move at this point for the right price.
Just like Laine with WPG, you don't see Jets fans clamoring to trade him for peanuts because he likes to play Fortnite and was inconsistent last year. All this sillyness of trading guys like Drouin or Laine for well below what the going rate for a player like that is, is coming from the other fan bases trying to wrile those fan bases up. Drouin's value may not be sky high right now, I totally agree, so expecting a huge return at the moment isn't realistic but the habs trading Drouin just to get rid of him without getting a "fair" return isn't realistic either. Why would they? Just keep him and try to get him going/hope he gets better.
Habs don't <em>have</em> to trade Drouin. Its not like, despite his rough pre season, he wasn't a 53 point scorer last year. If he was putting up 15 points last year, that would be a different story.

I wasn’t defending the idiot habs fans (of which there are a lot). I’m saying that what the idiot fans say or do means nothing. Just because someone else is doing something stupid, doesn’t mean you should do something stupid also.

GAME young guns showdown
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>If Poehling were to exceed expectations and play like a ROR type player (because lets agree he does play a similar 2-way style). I would take that over a Marner. I also think chances that Poehling reaches ROR level potential are higher than Suzuki reaching Marner potential. Let's be real though! the odds for both Suzuki or Poehling becoming any of those guys are still low. I just don't think Suzuki has the speed Marner has. Vision and Hands yes, but not speed.</div></div>
In the description you said meet or exceeds the expectations. I totally agree Poehling have way more chance to be a ROR than Suzuki a Marner, but I rather have a Marner than ROR. That’s my opinion, but I prefer Poehling than Suzuki

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>What are you guys doing.... this is terrible asset management. Nylander is and would not be a priority for MTL, yet you're paying an absolute premium price to acquire him. He would make a solid addition to the top 6, don't get me wrong. But giving Petry with salary retention at a $3mil aav for 2 years and Danault at a measly $3mil aav for 2 years too, are worth their weight in gold all on their own. Juulsen is still a valuable RD prospect as well and would make a lethal (and cheap!) 3rd pairing combo with him and Dermott....
Talk about giving the leafs everything they need... all for getting a player MTL doesn't even need in Nylander...</div></div>
I agree, the trade is tilted and I still wouldn’t want to do it as a leafs fan. Wouldn’t want to but I would have to because it’s so lobsided.

Matthews may be better than MacKinnon one day but presently, at almost 5M less, MacKinnon is twice as valuable for the next 4 years. In a cap world, everything comes down to dollars.
