Thread: How would yall feel about this team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Howie</b></div><div>He's not likely to take a hometown discount if he's going ufa so it's either trade for him and get him to a price like 9m now or Risk the open market driving up his price (if he goes ufa that is)

This is his big payday and most likely his biggest money and term wise so taking a discount for a team doesn't really track there. US based teams with better tax can offer the same contract and he'd bring home more at the end of the day so. Either really hope it's mtl or Nothing (unlikely) or bite the bullet and trade for him this offseason to guarantee you get him</div></div>

Not true many players entering ufa take hometown discounts. Tavares reportedly did, it all depends on whether they are being truthful about wanting to play at home and not just using the Habs as a bargaining chip as many have done in the past.

Thread: Habs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>Montreal won’t be getting a first for Monahan. As for better centers available, just off the top of my head, we have already established ROR, but there is also Domi, Bennett, Reinhart, Hayes (especially at half retained), Toews (half retained), PLD (as a pure rental, and maybe 1 extra year before he walks, assuming Jets are willing to move him at deadline), Shmaltz, and hell, even Henrique are all better/more viable, or are the very least are less injury prone. And that’s definitely not all the C that would be available.

Monahan has so little value even with half retention just because of his inability to stay in the lineup. It took a first to dump him, there is nobody in the league who is going to give up a first for him outside of every other available C getting injured or just straight up dying, with a team being extremely desperate for a C.</div></div>

ROR is definitely better as is Henrque. Domi sucks defensively and is not as good offensively, Bennett and Reinhardt are about equal with Monahan but I would give Monahan a slight edge as far as tradability due to his expiring contract and the Habs ability to retain on it without messing up next years cap and with the Cats trying to push for a playoff spot they arent moving either Bennett or Reinhardt. Toews is old and slow and isn't better than Monahan at all anymore. PLD is not available with the Jets in the playoffs. Hayes half retained might be a better option but the Flyers aren't retaining on Hayes for 4 years any more than the Habs are retaining on Gallagher or Anderson. So your options are Domi who isn't better than Monahan and Toews who is too old and slow to keep up.

Thread: Which players realistically return a 1st at deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DarcyTucker</b></div><div>They wouldn't get a 2nd for all of them together</div></div>

Harris and maybe Evans can get a 2nd of the guys I listed. I didn't list everyone, for instance Matheson could probably get 2 2nds or a 2nd and 3rd. Xhekaj may get a 2nd or 3rd. I used a couple of 2nds as the max for players not worth a 1st, I could have listed every player individually but that would be ridiculous so I lumped them in 4 groups, the 3 available players that will return a min 1st, the three players that would take an overpay of a 1st + to pry away (the guys we don't want to trade but can be convinced), the players off limits as they are our core now and going forward and the rest.
