Thread: Laffy and Sergachev offer sheet
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>I am sorry to break your Bubble but Sergachev isn’t a number 1 defenseman. He sure have a great potential, but haven’t played a primary role yet. He have a good offensive potential but have not been use in Defensive mission that much in Tampa Bay. He was just over 20 min this year in ice time and that was a huge increase from the prior years. There is no guarantee that he can flourish into a 25 min solid 2 way defenseman since he never been use in that role at the moment. I get your point here that Sergachev would be a interesting pick for Detroit but if they get him it will probably be via trade. The first round pick is way to much valuable.</div></div>

He isn't currently a #1, but anyone with foresight should be able to see that he'll become one. Thats my opinion anyway

Thread: CBJ Savard or ARI Demers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaptainFlynnt</b></div><div>So Savard is off the table. I didnt think he would be a camp dump, wasnt sure what his cost would be. Demers is less valuable in my opinion, and ARI is in a worse way with the salary cap so he is more logical fit.

Demers and Raanta for say Lindgren + another prospect frees up ~$6.6M for ARI to resign Hall or sign another big UFA. Does ARI do it?</div></div>

Savard isn't a cap dump at all but Jackets fans really overvalue him imo, he has some value sure but he's not worth Domi straight up.

Maybe Arizona does it if they think Hill can be a capable backup to Kuemper, really not sure if they'd want to break up their solid goalie tandem by trading Raanta, there's a lot of capable backups on the free agency market, why wouldn't the Habs just sign one of them, Bergevin loves collecting mid round picks though so maybe he tries something like this.. Lol

Thread: Would this trade happen for real lmk
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYRxLundqvist</b></div><div>It’s not that his defensive game isn’t there it’s just trouba and fox have a better defensive game so deangelo gets 1pp</div></div>

....Deangelo was the 3rd best dman defensively this year while having Marc Staal as a partner. It's tough to illustrate how great this is.

Though Ghost/Deangelo comparison is interesting, if just to illustrate how ridiculous Deangelo is lol...Here's Deangelo this year with Ghost's peak in 17-18. Along with their D partners for context.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaptainFlynnt</b></div><div><a href="/users/F50marco" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@F50marco</a> worth noting this:

"#Habs Romanov's agent Dan Milstein on conference call: "(Romanov)'s coming to Montreal on a one-way ticket... he's coming to Montreal for good." Romanov says he's ready for North American play, whether in AHL or NHL."
- John Lu via twitter

Good to know Romanov is open to playing in the AHL. I hope he blows us away in MTL but if he had to have a stint in MTL playing with all the other future core players it certainly wouldn't be a bad thing for him.

The athletic recently posted an article about how MTL should turn Laval into a proving grounds for their prospects since training camp can be to small of a sample size. I think if Romanov is stuck in the 3rd pairing or something with no PP time in MTL he would be better off playing 1st pairing in Laval with PP time. He will never develop an offensive game if MTL is not prepared to give him a chance in an offensive role.

Edit: Another One

"Yeah I’m ready to play in AHL, I’m ready to play in NHL. I’m ready to play in North America.” - Alexander Romanov.</div></div>

That's great news!

Although I will say this, Russian especially good ones who could be making much more back in Russia, tend to be more finicky than other nationalities. My interpretation of Romanov coming here is that he is coming to play in the NHL. IF he plays in the NHL and proves to himself that he is not ready, I think he'll accept the AHL. BUT if in his mind he has made the team but the MB and CJ feel otherwise, i think we may see some sparks.

If he is willing to go where ever the org feels is best for him, than Im am perfectly happy!
