(DET / PHI) - 2018 cond. 4th & 2019 cond. 3rd for Mrázek (50% retained)
So this trade could be anything from "Mrazek for a 2018 4th", to "Mrazek for a 2018 2nd + 2019 3rd". The former is a great deal for Philly and a necessary one for Detroit; the latter is phenomenal for Detroit, and means good things for Philly (and Mrazek!), too. Fun trade!

Aggressive TDL + Tavares prep...?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>linehan10</b></div><div>This is why Hab fans don’t make any sense... you are “prepping for Tavares” and yet are trading easily the most attractive piece on this team right now.</div></div>
Which explanation would you prefer - chasing the franchise defenseman, clearing up as much cap room as possible, the fact that Tavares would be a free agent add and not a trade, or the fact that this is all make-believe?

2018 entry draft
Kind of a fun story, I got to speak to a Blackhawks scout at a Halifax Mooseheads game earlier this season (had credentials) and all he wanted to talk about was Jared. So that's definitely high for him, but I kind of knew going in that wherever Chicago fell, I was going to take Jared with them.

Thread:
Plekanec' trade market?
In contemplating Montreal's "situation" with Tomas Plekanec -- the fact that we're paying him $6mil a season to play anywhere from L1 to L3 for 10 goals and declining offensive output -- it's pretty hard to try and establish a trade market for him. He's a tremendous defensive forward, a PK specialist, but the money for where he slots with the team just doesn't make sense to me.
Buying him out is an option -- it would cost $2.67mil this season and $1.67mil next -- but I think would be a tremendous morale hit, as he's a lifelong Habs player, and it doesn't make the team better.
I took a look at the teams that are not mired in salary cap issues right now and I came up with two potential landing spots for Plekanec, with returns that fill our needs, given what else we could move with him that I would be comfortable with -- Carolina, and Edmonton. One is probably not realistic at all; the other, honestly, could make sense.
First, the package leaving Montreal. Plekanec, as I said, has a $6mil cap hit, but only for one more season before he becomes a 35+ UFA. Retaining salary in the transaction is completely manageable. If I understand the rules, Montreal can retain up to $2.5mil (as his salary -- not his cap hit, his salary -- this season is $5mil) in a trade that would count as $3mil against this season's cap only. So now we're talking about moving Plekanec as a $3mil cap hit instead of $6mil. We also have a pair of second-round picks in the 2018 Draft -- ours, and Chicago's -- so moving the better of those two picks is also completely reasonable. And honestly, if we trade out of the 4th-7th rounds in any given draft, I'm not going to lose sleep over it, and we have 9 such picks in the next 3 drafts.
Plekanec @ 50% retained, better 2018 2nd + later picks. That's the outgoing package. If we wanted to toss in a prospect/developing player along with that, it's reasonable, so long as it isn't Juulsen, McCarron, Scherbak, Lehkonen, Hudon, Danault, or one of those goaltending prospects (Fucale/Lindgren/McNiven).
Now, as far as the return.
CAROLINA -- The player I'm looking at it Victor Rask. 24 years old, 5x$4mil against the cap. Jordan Staal is a capable L1 center for them, they just brought in Marcus Kruger to play up the middle in the bottom 6 with Josh Jooris, and both Teuvo and Lindholm are capable of moving to the middle if needed. Plekanec could slot into their #2 spot and anchor their already-very-good PK to make it one of the league's best. This is the less realistic option, as Carolina's primary problem is the same as ours -- scoring goals.
EDMONTON -- The player I'm looking at is RNH. Also 24, 4x$6mil against the cap. The McFranchise extension isn't likely to cause cap issues just yet, but in seasons to come, it could be an issue, so alleviating what some Oilers fans may deem as "dead space" could help out in years 3 and 4 when it's time to extend Strome and Puljujarvi. Bringing in Strome is a move that makes an RNH trade easier to swallow, as he may well be cheaper come extension time than RNH is now. Bringing in Plekanec as the #3 for this coming season to play with (likely) Slepyshev and Jokinen, plus the top PK line (a PK that was in the bottom half last season) may well give them a better chance to win THIS SEASON than holding on to RNH.
So what do you think?
Plekanec @ 50% + 2018 2nd (plus picks and/or prospect) for Victor Rask?
Plekanec @ 50% + 2018 2nd (plus picks and/or prospect) for Ryan Nugent-Hopkins?
Is either deal realistic? Does that return get either deal done?

Dallas Stars signed Martin Hanzal (3 Years / $4,750,000 AAV)
THIS is the real bullet that Montreal dodged so far in FA. I know of multiple times that his name was brought up in conversations about who to bring in up the middle. Severe overpay for the production you're likely to get. And let's be fair, they didn't bring him in to center the third line. Luckily signing this means it's harder for them to justify signing Radulov, as it pushes Seguin to the RW and I doubt Radulov will take a deal to move to Dallas and play on the second line.

Look it's hard to whine about a player only making $1mil but I'm still going to say that this is a bad deal. Sharp, in my opinion, is done like dinner. I don't believe he has much of anything to offer the on-ice product of the Chicago Blackhawks. Time will tell I guess but I feel like Chicago bought a lemon here.

Montreal Canadiens signed Carey Price (8 Years / $10,500,000 AAV)
What a surprise, a pissing contest in the Carey Price thread.
Would I have been happier with a hit below $10mil? Totally.
Does the term concern me with a soon-to-be-30 goaltender with injury history? Definitely.
BUT!
Does the number surprise me? Not particularly, no, I kind of expected double-digits if I'm being honest.
Do contracts like these lead to lockouts? Let's be honest, Gary Bettman is a greedy weasel so there's going to be a work stoppage one way or the other.
Is Montreal doomed by this contract? No. God no. That's such small potatoes thinking.
And the main one: did Montreal HAVE to extend Price? Yes they did. Because there is nobody behind him who's ready starting next season, because the fans would riot if we didn't, because team morale would tank without him... take your pick.
The job of an NHL GM is made much easier when you only have one choice.

Toronto Maple Leafs signed Patrick Marleau (3 Years / $6,250,000 AAV)
Here is my only justification for saying "good deal".
Marleau on the left side of Auston 3:16 and Big Willy Style is a pretty damn good first line, assuming Nylander doesn't regress in year two. But it doesn't do the cap situation any favours at all. It's a provisional "good deal", with the potential that it could definitely go sideways.
