Thread: Does MTL do this deadline deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BurgerBoss</b></div><div>Never suggest a mediocre deal to Habs fan. After that, they only get satisfied by absolutely fleecing the other participant of the trade lol.

To be fair, I don't see neither MTL or DAL taking it. MTL because it isn't worth it, DAL because they have $1M left in cap space (minus Hanzal provided he's put to LTIR), meaning that they can't really afford take Tatar...</div></div>

I think McFaksaGOAT mentioned "at the deadline" so that would likely mitigate that cap issue you refer to. On my side, I think the issue is that Montreal is probably on the bubble; waiting to see if it gels to know if they are seller or not. While they may be willing to receive long term assets (their prospect pool being quite good currently) they probably do see a lot a value in a not-too-old, prolific and defensively-sound top 6 winger like Tatar. The price would likely not be below a mid 1st rounder, not so much because they need to fleece other teams or that it reflects Tatar's market value but because it reflect it's current value to the Canadiens.

Thread: What is Price and Drouin worth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>To give an idea of what I'd guess at as value, and we're assuming in this that the Avs improve or at least stay level with last season's showing, and if MTL are looking for a LD. I believe whilst Meloche is right handed he plays a lot on the left and he's French Canadian (and I know that really means little but MTL have historically favoured signing Fr-Can boys for obvious reasons) so maybe 1st 2020 plus Meloche (or Josh Anderson as another option). Forwards you're probably looking at Greer/Kamenev types. It's a bit of a downgrade on what MTL gave up to get him but fair value I would say, on current form/showing so far. Especially with the pick unprotected as the Avs would hope/expect it to be middle to lower end of the draft but if COL fall back (and it's possible with the loss of Barrie's production at the back end and a very young D), then they could make a steal.</div></div>

Very fair. Thanks.

Thread: What is Price and Drouin worth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Frankyhabs</b></div><div>Bowen Byram for Drouin ?? Heiskanen (futur Noris winner) + Bishop for Price ??? Gibson (younger + better contract + close to Price in term of perfomance) + Comptois for Price ?? I would not make a Gibson for Price swap if I'm the Ducks. Dude my comment was a little **** I admited but your evaluation of players and teams needs are way off IMO. Drouin's value right now is low by the way. Just read the other comment...</div></div>

Oh... all are overvalued for sure... who calls someone else starting at a low price? Think MB called GM and said would you give me a few puck and a seventh for Pacioretty? I get that some see Drouin's value to be low but that's because you follow habs and we are disappointed he didn't do more but he's still an electrifying young, relatively cheap, French speaking, third overall and I've not lost hope yet. And excuses accepted ;)
