Thread: Canadiens Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Sure, no problem. Happy to explain.

1- The fact that Tatar has another year left, as nice as his cap hit may be, makes him a bad candidate for us to pick up because our first offseason priority is to re-up Petro. Grabbing Tatar just makes it $4.8M harder for us to keep our captain. We're not adding any significant cap hit until he's re-signed.

2- Beyond that, we are not trading the 2020 1st and we're not trading Hofer. And yeah, you're probably also underestimating Blais' value a bit. He has offensive upside.

3- It's always worth mentioning that Tatar is a) not a player Berube would want for his system/preferred manner of play &amp; b) not a very good playoff performer. His speed and 5v5 skill are very nice, but he's small and doesn't grind. And while he is on a 70-point pace this season (at age 29, mind you), that's not his typical level. This will be his first season over 58 points, and just two years ago he managed only 34.

4- Finally, yes, we don't really need a forward. Tarasenko will be back, and we filled our primary need for this Cup defense run by grabbing Scandella today.</div></div>

Thanks man, After how much it cost to get Scandella I didnt see you guys trading anything I mentioned anyways.

Can you give me some insight as to why? I'm not asking out of pure curiosity. Tomas Tatar is on pace for around 70 points and has another year left on his deal after this one. Maybe I'm undervaluing Blais but I figured he's a top 9 guy with some bite, 1st round picks will be dealt and top prospects in most deals (even for rentals) it's been well proven to this point that it's a sellers market. Maybe the Blues don't need a forward?

Toffoli (lesser player/UFA)
for
Madden (Top Prospect), 2nd round pick, Tim Schaller and Another Conditional Pick

Coleman (lesser player/same term)
for
Nolan Foote (Top Prospect) and a 1st round pick

Andy Greene.....
for
2nd round pick and David Quenneville

Jason Zucker
for
Alex Galchenyuk, Calen Addison (Top Prospect) and a 1st round pick

Thread: Leafs Dump Ceci cap hit
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leaf_fan_74</b></div><div>Really, I question what would be accomplished by trading away a 3rd of a season of Cece's contract? Why would you then send an asset away to accomplish this? To me, this sounds like making sour milk more sour... if that makes sense! With Muzzin and Reilly missing so much time the Leafs have cap space to play with... this giving away assets to remove a problem thing is not necessary! The best thing to do in my opinion would be to put him on the Trade-Market with salary retention and if no wants him... waive him!</div></div>

My Theory behind it is that it would open up spending for a guy like Brendon Dillon or Alec Martinez. The leafs literally won't be able to upgrade the blueline without shedding a good sized contract. So if it means opening up a slot for say a #4 RHD, I think it's something they need to consider.

Reilly - RHD
Muzzin - Barrie
Dermott - Holl/Sandin

Thread: Thoughts Tatar to Flames
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>royle9</b></div><div>LOL Tatar is NOT getting that kind of value.. waaay too steep beyond reason.
CGY also not looking for a LW nor a LHS.

Negative % chance this happens.
This sounds like MTL fan trying to shoot for the stars and get a ridiculous price for a mediocre player.</div></div>

I mean I'm not saying this specific trade will happen, but his value is almost certainly a 1st round pick and top prospect. top line winger on pace for 70ish points with term and a nice AAV. Since Bennett is not even close to a top prospect and at this point looks to have a 3rd line ceiling and Kylington is a tweener, I thought this wouldn't be too far off.

Not to mention Weal is a wash with Bennett production wise. So essentially this is nothing more than Kylington and a 1st

Thread: Oilers Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AJC13</b></div><div>How could you possibly think Puljujarvi is worth more than Andersson? Cracks me up how Edmonton fans completely over value their players! I believe NYR will get better trade offers for Andersson than Puljujarvi, let alone swapping a 2nd round pick for EDM 4th round pick. Seriously, how could you possibly think Puljujarvi is worth more than Andersson?</div></div>

LOL, my man. I'm a Montreal Canadiens die hard - so I have ZERO BIAS. I think this is probably a classic case of you over valuing your player in this case or at the very least the two of us disagreeing about the player. I like what Jesse is doing oversees, simple as that, I don't like what Lias has done at the AHL or NHL level quite as much.

That's all.

Go habs Go

Thread: My Montreal Canadiens
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsRafiki</b></div><div>We've seen so little from the Oilers since Holland moved in a few weeks ago, it's hard to tell how quickly he will want to tear it down. He and Bergevin don't have a great trading history and I am sure there's no love between MB and KH over his claiming JDLR last year.

It's funny, I agree that the Flyers get the short straw in this trade, but it might be as simple as dropping that 3rd pick. I think you'll have to bring a player to the table as Ikonen is still miles from the NHL and 2nd picks are a 50-50 proposition that the kid will ever stick in the NHL. Do they need Lindgren. I thought the Flyers always had too many middling goalies and not enough great ones (Carter might change that, though it's still very early).</div></div>

All good points. I made a post a few weeks back where i Believe I had a 1st round pick, Ikonen and Lindgren and Flyer fans response was "we take that and run" So i thought maybe I was overvaluing a bit. Maybe Something along the lines of this:

2nd round pick in 2019
2nd round pick in 2020
Joni Ikonen
Charles Hudon

For

Shane Gostisbehere
6th round pick
