Thread: if montreal draft the best player they can since 2009

Coulda, woulda, shoulda. You could do this for every team. And if you did most of the players on your list would have been gone by the time Habs picked. The draft is not an exact science and hidsight is 20/20. Bruins fans like to ***** about the 2015 draft when they had 3 picks in a row and Barzal/Conner/Boesser were all there and they did not take any of them. But if every team got redo those players would not be there when Boston picked. Yes it’s aggravating. Fans only remember the mistakes. Nobody ever gives credit for picking the guy that should have gone 20 picks higher. Fans are fickle.

Think you have confused the affordability of Marlie Jordan Subban, with PK Subban. Happens all the time.

Leafs dont want PK.. and you have 5 roster spots left with 3mil in cap space.. good luck with that..

Darn it, I was going to say "What is it about 'No Movement Clause' that some of my fellow Toronto AGM's don't understand?", but you beat me to it.

Thread: WHY IS $10,000,000 IN CAP SPACE CONSIDERED CAP TROUBLE?

I think it’s funny how you feel Carrick and a couple extra picks can pull Parayko. Jeremy rutherford already said this won’t happen. You have to give up one of the top 4 for him. Same with Carolina.

Thread: Do it

Why would the Preds accept this? McCabe is fine, but Ellis is far and away better. Plus if we assume the Sabres are going to take a significant step forward with a roster now including Skinner, Ellis and Hutton then the value of that 1st round pick plummets.

Have to remember... The Preds are in the middle of a Cup window. Any trade won't be to take a step backwards.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Goldendelicious</b></div><div>This whole Shaw/Debrincat thing on here is getting a little old. GMs trade 2nd-7th round picks all the time.

Seriously. This is what people who don't know better, do.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stan_Bowman</b></div><div>Lol, DeBrincat isn’t French Canadian enough for the Habs to select him.</div></div>

Listen Stan, this team actually has a low track record of drafting Quebecois players these past 20 years so stop with the perpetuating a stereotype. Its borderline in nature and irritating.

As for the truth of what MTL does do, giving professional & amateur tryouts to players born here is simply for the PR and rarely effects the on ice product. The players that do play here like Desharnais earned it.

He didnt, he was acquired from STL and then immidiately traded to WSH, but he was on bench 1 game, oh wait.. no bench there were literally having no place for halak and he was on the chair somewhere else :D

Thread: Deal with Montreal

Petry had his best year offensively last year and is MTL's default top defenceman until Weber comes back. I don't think anyone from Habsland would view him as a cap dump.

Still wouldn’t have picked Forsberg over Galchenyuk. Forsberg is the better player now but think Galchenyuks development is more the issue then the player.

I don't like to be critical, but his one deserves one star. Why would we think it a good idea to take on an additional $7.8 in salaries going into the year we have to sign Matthews, Marner, Kapanen, Johnsson, Carrick and others?

Thread: Holtby

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Goldendelicious</b></div><div>Capitals have Samsonov in the pipeline who is claimed as a top 3 goalie prospect for the NHL. If the Caps were to move Holtby:
1) it would not be this season
2) it would be to allow Samsonov to play (so still another 2-3 years away minimum).

Caps don't need to bring back Allen to be a backup.</div></div>

Definitely wouldn't do it in 18-19, but next summer would definitely be a possibility. If we take back Allen, he'd just be a veteran presence behind Samsonov, or a 1A/1B situation. We'd probably want a better prospect than Jaskin though.

Thread: How to reasonably make the cap work next season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Goldendelicious</b></div><div>Still need a couple more players.</div></div>

If we are being conservative with our cap projections (I mean I'm going high on the deals for Matthews, Marner and Nylander), then we will have trouble getting a full roster next year. One solution would be to trade Zaitsev for a cheaper option, maybe save a million or two off him and then we'll be fine.

The next year is really easy since Marleau is off the books.
