Thread: Type of trade they should do

Alex Chiasson's name keeps popping up. He is an interesting cat. Maybe in home province, he kicks it up. For a 7th round pick, I would do it.

Thread: DET NJD OTT Fans - How is the Value

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Carlapin007</b></div><div>Terrible for Mtl</div></div>

Jordie was a healthy scratch in Vancouver. MTL has an upgrade over Jordie already in place. So not a good trade for Habs!

The sticking point for me is you don’t trade quality to a team team in your own division that you have to battle through to reach the end playoffs.

Nothing against Morgan or Max. I just wouldn’t do it

Thread: Oh coyotes

Mtl says no. Not going to trade Domi to rival team. And then you ask for 1St round pic.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gordon_Bombay</b></div><div>I know it is hard for you when you know him, but a classy thing would be to walk into Bergevins office and tell him "I am unhappy with my role in the playoffs and would like to be traded if those are your plans for me", but not to post **** on social media.</div></div>

He did not post one word on social media. He is a very honest person. He was asked by a media person over the telephone would he be happy to have a reduced ice time next year and he answered no. which as a former athlete myself, experienced that, when a new coach was hire and my role was reduced. So, again, I completely understand Phil's position on this and let's not forget the Montreal media for hockey is insane and intense. This will die down in a few weeks.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Yes, Couturier is a 65pt plus Selke first line center, hes worth far more than the initial offer, and like I said before, hes on such a reasonable contract, it would have to be a stellar offer to pry him out of Philly.</div></div>

When you have a player like that, you do not want to move them.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BorisBagel</b></div><div>He's never had more than ~ 50 points — and that's when he's played with Habs top wingers during the past 2 seasons (Tatar & Gallagher).

I agree. His proper chair is 3rd line Centre. The player often does not see it and especially so close to his next contract. More points means more bucks, so it is normal he wants to remain on top line.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gordon_Bombay</b></div><div>I wonder how the comments made by Danault affect his trade value.

You cannot keep a guy around like that,

but also teams will probably not want to take him for fair value because he sounds like a locker room cancer</div></div>

Only speaking because I know Phil personally. He is an incredible guy and rock solid in the dressing room. He has one year left on his contract and more points means more money. All players will say the same thing when your contract is coming up. I was briefly an agent for 3 yrs and would counsel my guys to say the same thing. This is contract talk, nothing else!

Habs would say no to that trade. Even though couturier is a good player.

Thread: Ehlers

Alex Chiasson is an interesting cat. For a 5th round pick, MTL should say yes. Maybe playing in home province will get him going?

Thread: 2021

The irony of the Danault trade is you placed him on the 3rd line, which is exactly where he should be but he wants to stay on top line in MTL. I think he is also concerned about cashing in on his next contract and more points mean more bucks!

Thread: My take on Danault and what the Habs might do

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>On the contrary my friend, it wouldn't surprise me that MTL can get way more. Something to add when considering Danault as a rental, in this new "Flat cap" era, playoffs teams up against the cap would salivate over someone like Danault where MTL can also retain up to 50% salary on him. If someone like Blake Coleman can get a 1st + an "A" prospect (Nolan Foote) because he's an effective player that's super cheap ($1.8mil aav). Can you imagine someone like Danault at 50% retention at ($1.5mil aav)....</div></div>

Personally I don’t think Danault is going anywhere. But to play along a 1st pick and an A prospect yes. 2 first round picks I don’t see it.

I think Domi is gone.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>I used Kovy as a fill in it could be Yelonen gets a shot on KK's wing really doesn't matter who it is there just that there are 3 very good lines and a shutdown line.

The real bummer I see is Habs finally have good prospects and they will be good in 2 yrs just as Weber will be 37 & price 35 and on the downslope of their careers.

Thread: My take on Danault and what the Habs might do

Your assessment is level headed and pretty accurate. Not sure you get 2 first rounders. A bit steep. I think Domi moves but Danault stays.

I wouldn’t bring back Kovalchuk. That boat sailed.

Several teams would want both. Both have at the minimum five years in them. You could get good players or picks for them. The key to hockey is finding the right chair for the player to excel in.

Thread: DOMI to CLB

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CLR</b></div><div>Because of kulak vs Murray? The base of the trade is Anderson vs Domi but CBJ would have to add ... idk much what tho</div></div>

this is a very interesting trade. Domi has some upside, puts points up. He has been dislodged or will be in a year or two by Suze and KK. Kulak is coming into his own and playing better. Josh Anderson went from 27 goals to 1. (mind you 82 games to 26 games) was he injured, was he on the outs with Torts? Murray and Kulak are similar, Murray has more games played. The key factor is can Anderson regain his 27 goals if yes, not too bad of a trade. On the other hand will Kulak get even better? this is a tough one. Good starting point though!

I just like him because he can hit has size and he is a French Canadian which always goes over well. Mind you they had Deslauriers and they moved him to the Ducks.

If Weal is not acceptable then a draft pick. This guy played in the AHL and he’s a 4th line player.

Honest mistake. Thank you for pointing that out. I would sign and trade Max. Meet sign and keep or trade if decent offer came around. In my defence I was not focused on the RFA’s just putting together roster to move forward.
