Thread: Matthews signed for 78 years Bedard wants to go elsewhere
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rhea</b></div><div>Not completely useless no and with a coach who had a clue it would be different too in my opinion. I always wanted to see him with a power forward as opposed to a smaller guy who always slows down the play. I guess we'll disagree, but there is no way he goes for less than multiple firsts.</div></div>

"With a coach who had a clue" "small guys who always slows".

He played for a coach who won the Olympics, the Stanley cup, and reached two other finals. He played with very, very talented linemates, yet he never delivered in the playoffs, looked completely invisible in all "must-win" game he played in, he's soft and doesn't seem to be a leader.

Sounds like you're just looking for excuses for his poor performance.

Matthews at 14/15M$ for long term? Pretty sure the return would be very underwhelming. Sure there's probably a team who'd pay more than a late first, after all h'e gonna sell jerseys and he's a high profile player, but there's no universe in which Leafs get a Connor Bedard type of return.

Thread: An objectively fair deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Camper27</b></div><div>Fair enough, but being a voice/sounding board of the Montreal fan base and there are enough of you that provide that message (chat lines such as here and direct messaging to the Habs), what is a fair offer/value or return to Wpg at the trade deadline? Now be fair!!!</div></div>

Well, realistically Montreal probably won't competitive next year so the idea of trading valuable assets (like 1st rnd picks / high prospects) at the deadline makes no sense for them. There's probably a team out there who would offer much more to get him as a rental for a playoffs plush.

For me the only way Mtl gets him is when he becomes UFA. That's why I don't see them offering more than a late first (FLA pick) + an okay player like Dvorak and a B prospect like Kidney. Then WPG probably says no and try to get more, but it makes no sense from MTL standpoint to give up more than that.

Thread: An objectively fair deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Camper27</b></div><div>Spoken like a true Montreal supporter... This why this storied franchise currently is sitting in the position that they are in. Honestly, you should start seeing the value that other teams have and value your prospects, players accordingly.. You guys are so of base that it isn't worth reading.</div></div>

Hmm my opinion has literally zero impact on the organization or the position they are sitting in.

But nobody is giving that much value for PLD, even if he was signed for 8 years at a decent price. At the moment is a RFA one year away from being a UFA, he seems to want to come play for Mtl (or at least get out of Winnipeg), and he'll be looking to get probably around 9M$.

He's absolutely not worth 2 1st round pick (especially with the 2024 probably being a top10 again) + the 37th pick this year, plus a young promising D, and a good prospect like Beck.

There's literally 0 chance that Montreal give that much for a player like PLD lol. He's very good, but he has massive flaws in his game.
