Thread: How a PLD should be handled on the MTL side of things
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>nope - using your rules, you think caufield + ylonen + weal would be fair for dubois + 5th? ok... I think dubois is getting overvalued hard on this site, but this the complete reverse.</div></div>
Categorizing players doesn't mean all the outcomes would make a great trade proposition, it mainly means that if you're asking for two players from the same category the price asked is considered too high by Montreal. On the other side of the spectrum I could say that KK, Harris and Lehkonen for Dubois and a 6th is a steeper price considering Harris development over the last couple of years and Lehkonen defensive abilities. If you cherry pick what you want to see on anything on this site obviously it can be seen as bad.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bolts_Fan_Dan</b></div><div>Here’s the thing Montreal more than any other team has to overpay to get Pierre-Luc Dubois. Not a chance Jarmo kekaleinen Gives Pierre-Luc Dubois what he wants without a major win. Sets a really bad precedent that if you complain loud enough you’ll get what you want.</div></div>
Montreal needs to overpay for what? Lack of centers, the need to hit the cap floor, explain why do they need to overpay? If your only argument is that he's a francophone that's bs.

Quoted "Sets a really bad precedent that if you complain loud enough you’ll get what you want." Where did Dubois complained loudly to get what he wants? He had a closed door meeting with his teammates about the fact that he wasn't happy with this team and furthermore would request a trade to Jarmo. Where is the "complain loud enough" part in here? I guess you meant that <em>Torts complained loudly</em> in front of members of the medias about a situation that had nothing to see with his pay grade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>There’s a considerable difference between KK/Caufield and our 1st + 2nd. The habs wouldn’t trade Caufield/KK, and Columbus wouldn’t make a trade where the main piece is a mid to late first. So can we please stop with these ridiculous arguments.</div></div>
See first argument on top.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>Frankly PLD wanting already out of Columbus should be a little bit alarming to MB. The unwritten code is usually that you play with the team that drafted you until minimum 25. Seems almost unfair but thats usually the thing most players adhere to.

I think either PLD is being a little selfish here or he simply cant stand Torts anymore. Either option should be very concerning to Jarmo.</div></div>
I mean they obviously know more things inside but it wouldn't be the first time Torts makes someone unhappy on a team... The only one that followed him and seemed like he could stand his personna was Richards and first thing you know the sh*t hits the fan when they both end up in NY.
Is it concerning yes but if it's for the right reasons I see no issues of asking for a trade. The relation was -most likely- already broken way before the bench screaming video but that was the last drop he needed to feel the need to get out.

Thread: What I still Dont Get
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheLeafsSeason</b></div><div>He looked horrible, Mikheyev is showing why he is overpaid, and now we have to hope Lehtonen is good. <strong>The Leafs lack depth</strong> and shouldn't have won last night's game. If Mikheyev played for the Habs, he would be as a healthy scratch</div></div>
Not ****ting on the arguments here but I mean that's what happens when you hand 50% of your cap space to your top 4 guys, they'll score when they're on the ice but you'll get a ton of goals in when they're not. Hard to trash on the Toronto back end for letting so many pass by when only a little more than 30% of the cap is distributed between all six defenders and goalies.
I do agree with you when you mention that Toronto signs all these KHLers and hopes that they become something because they can't afford anything else really to put on steady third line roles.

Thread: Game Two vs Oilers
I'll be patient with Edmundson as it took Chiarot a good 15-20 games (With a full training camp) to really acclimate to the Habs style of defense. Lost his stick and tried all he could but Willi's shot was just perfect it's not on him.

Romanov as advertised. It's a rare thing to hear coaches and GMs hyping their players that much so they knew something from the get go and weren't afraid to praise him, he'll make mistakes throughout the year like any other rookies but the intangibles are all lined up right in front of our eyes. His defensive gaps are good even against top guys, physical, nice outlet passes to exit the zone and quick changes of directions. I still feel that he's able to play RD but would be even better on his natural side, sometimes troughout the game you saw his instincts to get on the opposite side in his zone.

Anderson has it all and looking at the situation happening with Dubois I'll be interesting to revisit this trade in the near future as there's a strong possibility that Domi becomes their 1C in the short term.

Toffoli has joy in his eyes, he always just look too happy.

Bergevin struck gold in the chemistry department also, looking at Suzuki/Anderson and KK/Toffoli cohesion on the ice is a great sign after only one game! In the end we now understand Marc's point of view, when you're a GM you don't try to do everything in a team you don't think can win it all but when you do think so you make all the moves for it.
