Thread: Habs 2022 TDL Take 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>Just my thoughts, but:
1) Obviously
2) It's only generally accepted among Habs fans. Some dummy might do it, but he's absolutely not worth a 1st unless the Habs are taken a mediocre contract back.
3) Meh, whatever.
4) There isn't a single piece in that trade that should convince LA to move Turcotte.
5) If AA was worth a 2nd+Prospect, why wouldn't LA just do it?
6) Perreault for a 3rd seems like a stretch. In 2013, when he was still productive, he was moved for a 4th and a player that was then non-tendered. He's a 4th liner that *might* get a late pick back.</div></div>

Thanks for the feedback.

2) I think a Chiarot deal along those lines will happen for a team looking to make a playoff push, but we will have to wait a see.
3) Agreed lol
4) I understand LA trade made be not enough value, responded to original comment on potential changes
5) Retention on salary and addition of depth d is why I thought this could work, maybe it's a lower pick but I think it's decent value.
6) You are probably right, I guess the hope is the value is higher at TDL due to his really small cap hit and retention.

Thanks!

No, why would Montreal be trying to acquire Klingberg?</div></div>

I find your emphatic no to the only actual trade that is real made me lol! Our pick in the Dvorak deal is top 10 protected so I don't see any way we don't get it back.

As for the two you questioned:

I think Toronto could use Chiarot as depth for a playoff run. The idea is what the Bolts did last year with Savard. You get a depth defenseman that can play up and down the lineup as an insurance policy. Injuries happen.

As for the Habs acquiring Klingberg, that's more of a fantasy scenario where all the other previous deals happen and the team is flush with picks but no roster players really. The idea is you bring him in as a superior Petry replacement and sign him to a big long contract in the hopes you can rebuild quickly enough to still have him in his prime.

Hope this answers your questions, and explains my crazy logic a bit!

Thanks for the feedback,

Thread: Assuming no trades bring in Bozak and Vatanen to solidify the roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zuki9797</b></div><div>I definitely agree with you on the point of Bozak. He would be a good addition as a vet presence at centre. However, the problem I have with that is that it blocks Poehling. Sure, Bozak would be a solid addition, but Poehling could make a really good push into training camp.

And I also agree with your point of "G". Very insightful.</div></div>

Understood and I agree. I would like Poehling to have a role next year and maybe Bozak takes Evans place or even KK on the second line. I think he can just be plugged in if ever any of the young guys are struggling and at a one year deal it's worth it just to get that depth. I think he has more value over Paquette at C.

As for me writing "G" it's just my way of finishing the comment, not sure why that's odd, but thanks for the comment.
