Thread: Not done yet
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CoachCoach</b></div><div>As the team is currently constructed, the Wings are projected anywhere from 7th up to 5th in the Atlantic. Adding Petry doesn’t change that. They could have a NJD come from nowhere season, but I wouldn’t call it likely or probable.

Prior to Holl and Ghost signings there was a possibility, but now there is no room. This season will most likely be the last before some of the kids are regulars, and Ghost is the Wing mercenary that hopefully does well on the PP and gets dealt at the deadline.

Johansson and Wallinder both could get some time as they do play the right side (WW frequently) after the deadline, and going in to next year Petry would just block the youth movement.</div></div>

That's good insight. I stand by my opinion that Petry at 2.3ishM AAV could fetch a 2nd tho. Maybe not with the wings but somewhere else with a good 20 something games into the season.

Thread: Dach
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leahyl29</b></div><div>You should read my description before you comment next time. “ I’m not entirely sure on his trade value so I just ended up doing the 29th pick.” also if they keep both that means they’re gonna have to trade Dvorak and good luck with that.</div></div>

Dach was traded for 13overall coming out of a very slow career start. He had his best season with us and hes signed under 4M for 3 more years, wich looks to be a bargain pretty soon.

As for the C, position with or without Dubois, there is absolutly no problem. Both Monahan and Dach played wing last year and Dach was very good with Suzuki and Caufield.

You never have to much center depth. Dvorak can also be moved to the wing if not traded, hes not part of the future anyway.

Last thing, the PLD drama is pretty much over IMO, with his 5-6 teams list, MTL lost a lot of leverage. Pretty sure the Monahan signing indicate that trade talks are dead. And if not, Dvo will be in the package to make the money work. Yes his value is very low but its not negative either. Hes a reliable 3C under 5M for only 2 more years. Slightly overpaid but he's at least worth 3M AAV.

Thread: Number 5 pick for a number 1 pick
All of the top 5 players in this draft would be 1st over Laf in 2020.

I would even say no teams in the top 10 would trade their picks for him. He's a good player and I dont want to diminish him but his progression since drafted does not jutsify that kind of gamble. We got Dach for 13th overall and late picks and he has basically the same kind of progression since drafted while playing in a premium position.

Speaking of Dach, he's already not that far from PLD, younger, cheaper for at least 3 years. Im not saying it would not take that kind of offer to snatch PLD but it would be such a dumb move. Chances are Dach at 25 years old will be as productive and even if not, he's more reliable overall.

I wouldnt even do a 1v1 PLD-Dach trade for those reasons even if PLD is more valuable right now.

Oh and I like Barbashev, Hathaway and Soucy as UFA targets but its not yet the time to spend that kind of money and term commitment in our rebuild

Thread: Thoughts
As a habs fan, I couldnt hate this more but I think you nailed the first 9 picks! I see it go exactly that way

BUT, I also think you completly missed the next 10 picks haha.

Pellikka, Ritchie, Simashev and Draigcevic wont go before Dvorsky, Moore, Perrault, Barlow.

I wont go into details but overall, the first group of 4 I juste mention have so much more question marks than the second group and thats why I think most of them will fall deeper than expected.

Dvorsky, Perrault, Moore and Barlow also have a lot of questions marks but most of them have more than one prime attributes scouts are looking for!

Side notes:
Not having Yager in the top 20 is crazy.
Gauthier will go 1st round
Nate Danielson is a gem and his complete package tool will make him a top 15 pick.

I say all that in all modesty, your point of view is as good as mine but those are my toughts!
