Mason McTavish
It's bad enough that there was a collective delusion amongst habs fans that Zegras was available, now you think you can get McTavish?
If they're U25 and are playing in the Ducks top 6/4, they're not available, period.

An undersized LHD
A decent middle 6 prospect
A late first
A presumably late future 1st
A 5th round pick.
Which of those is considered a blue chip asset that we would want for Zegras? You're not going to get him for a quantity return, we have the pieces that a quantity return gets you already.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tupty</b></div><div>You gave a long-winded answer to the part I agreed with and a short flippant answer to my actual question. I personally think that the Bruins can retain up to half for a year and still sign 2 guys in their top 6 and one in the top 4 on the backend as long as they are not targeting the top UFAs at those positions. Not each of those needs to be premium players, but they do need to be able to play the part at least. If they target one positional top UFA like Hanafin, then maybe they can't get one of those slots filled, but so be it. While they would love to get back into contention, they need draft picks if they ever want to get a true 1C, so another bridge year could be worth it.
There is no true 1C available as a UFA this offseason, and they should sign players based on their long-term value to the team (probably a 2C). No need to overpay someone, so you don't need to earmark part of their cap space for a $9m+ player. They should continue to maintain their flexibility while in the re-tool.</div></div>
The cap is going up for the first time in years, guys are going to be out there looking for a payday as UFAs. I doubt you'll be able to get a 3C capable guy for 3 million. Middle 6 guys have been getting 4-5 mil AAV, I would add ~10% bump to previous salary comps from the past two years.
You might get some guys who are well into the back 9 of their careers to sign cheap, but I don't believe anyone who's capable of top 6 play is going to come to Boston on a discount.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tupty</b></div><div>Why can't Boston afford to retain? Otherwise, I agree with what you are saying. He and his agent can make it very hard to trade him for a worthwhile return.
Also, I think he'd potentially be willing to waive if a team offered him a good contract in order to do so, but that would be risky for that team to do. Sounds like something that would typically happen at the TDL, but it is still possible in the offseason.</div></div>
Because you're not going to sign a 1C for 3 mil as a UFA.
But let's dig deeper into this, what teams need a goalie and can afford to spend 5 mil on the position? LA was already declined, Minnesota can't afford it, Buffalo probably can but would Ullmark go back? Ottawa needs one but probably can't take the cap without sending one back, Edmonton's goaltending is feast or famine but they'd need to move Campbell. Philly needs a good goalie and should be able to afford him, Colorado can't afford him and just resigned their backup, New Jersey is looking but affordability is questionable, if Andersson is done then Carolina could use a goalie, Chicago and San Jose don't care about winning right now, Toronto can't afford the cap hit, maybe Arizona, Columbus and Detroit are both looking but need to unload their similarly priced goalies to do so.
NYR, NYI, FLA, TB, ANA, SEA, CGY, WPG, VGK, DAL, STL, NSH, WSH, all don't need a goalie.
So who's the match?

Given he can say no to 15 teams, and Boston can't afford to retain, if Ullmark wants to stay in Boston, you're going to have a difficult time moving him, because he can say every team that needs a goalie AND has the cap space is on his list.

I think you guys need to remember that an OS is going full aggro. MTL has a lot of the "young core" not locked up, so succeeding on an offer sheet just invites LA to make retaliatory OS's to run up contracts until MTL can't afford to match.

He wasn't available for crap before, and he sure as **** isn't now.
Anaheims needs are top 6 wingers (hey look, we can play Zegras at LW) and top pair RHD, none of that was offered, nor were pieces offered that could get us that.
Start the offer with either Holtz or Meier as the main piece.

You don't get a star young player because you can't afford to resign Marner.
You can get someone who was a high pick who should have panned out by now but hasn't, but you don't land a McTavish.

Can only hope Habs fans stop posting garbage offers. This is less than MTL paid for Dach, and Dach was damaged goods.
Anaheim has no want or room for any defensemen outside Reinbacher
Anaheim will only take a trade based around a blue chip asset at a position of need.
So if your offer doesn't include one of MTLs 1st this year, Slafkovaky, or Reinbacher, it's an automatic no.

The reason there's lots of those proposals is because the fans don't think they can afford to keep Mitch.
Full NMC also drives price down significantly, Marner gets to choose where he goes, so like with Kane and Chicago, Toronto fans will be massively disappointed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>He’s coming off a year where he likely can’t demand what Horvat and Scheifele got. I think the number is going to be between 6.75 and 7.75m and fully expect him to get 7 years. Boston is probably one of the more attractive places to Lindholm, because he fits the system and he’d be playing with Pasta/Zacha which essentially is recreating the line he has the most success with. Sweeney has tried to trade for him with Calgary and Vancouver, so my guess is he’s ready to pay the necessary price to secure him.
Its a risk, but so is waiting for the second tier free agents and hoping you don’t overpay them (which is essentially what happened with Reilly/Forbort, but Ullmark hit which kind of excuses it). If you could have gotten Lindholm without giving assets based on the previous three years before 2023-2024, you’d have been incredibly happy and would have paid 8.5M AAV.
My belief is that DuBois is overpaid enough that you’d have to add a first or equivalent to him just to get market value in a trade. I doubt he gets 8.5m on the open market and the Kings are probably kicking themselves for that decision. Giving him the money and giving Winnipeg Villardi/Iaffalo must be maddening</div></div>
If he goes long term, this is his last contract, and he's been budget friendly on his previous ones. Add to that the cap increasing significantly the next two years and no one's going to be taking budget signings for a while, previous salary comps are going to get thrown out because they represented much larger slices of the cap ceiling when they were signed. Dubois took a bit over 10% of the cap, and he was an RFA signing.
I would not be surprised to see Lindholm command at least 8.5, probably 9, as arguably the best center available for a long term commitment, given he's never had the health issues that Monahan has struggled with for years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jded</b></div><div>I’ll be honest, the more I think about this the more I’m into it. Zegras doesn’t make sense as a 3C. Even if he works on his defensive game, he’ll always be offense first and not someone who should start their shifts in the dzone. Gauthier is likely a LW for us and also deserving of a better ceiling than 3C behind Leo and McT. That leaves Gaucher who disappointed this year and looks like he needs at least a year if not more, and may end up topping out on the 4th line. A Vatrano - Colton - Killorn 3rd line could start like 60% of their shifts in the dzone and play solid defense but also still contribute some pretty solid production</div></div>
If we going to bring in an upgrade at 3C, then we should send cheaper roster players the other way.
A big reason Colorado would look to do this is for cap relief, and they are still in compete mode. Lundestrom or Groulx and a long shot NHLer like Helleson makes more sense I think.

NJ fans who like to chirp "NJ should want nothing to do with Gibson" are especially entertaining.
How wild is it to imagine a team with a goaltender who isn't the reason you are loosing, because that's what Gibson is, he steals games, he doesn't piss away wins.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MeetYourMakar</b></div><div>This is center depth that will win a draft loto, not a playoff birth. Strome has been good but also plays the wing, I am high on McTavish but, he isn't a full time center either. Zegras is a wing. Leo learning at 1 or 2c isnt a bad idea but that doubles back to what the Ducks plan to do. How many more seasons until you try for playoffs? I am not saying Colton is the right guy, but this isnt an nhl center depth that gives anyone concern. You've acquired some really really good prospect, would figure its about time to bring in established talent and make a run at the weak Pacific.</div></div>
Leo is our 1C, McTavish has been exclusively 2C all year. If we feel the need for a 3C, again, there is free agency, especially if we want someone short term.
