Thread: Perfetti is involved

Can’t retain on Savard because y’all used your last retention spot on Jake Allen.

shame they had to retain, but that's a nice return for essentially a #3 goalie...

Thread: Playoffs in 2025

I don't get all these Andersson trades for MTL...

Rasmus Andersson (2nd round, 53rd overall, 2015)
At age 22: 2G - 17A - 19P - 90GP - (+15)

Justin Barron (1st Round, 25th overall, 2020)
11G - 18A - 29P - 87GP - (-9)

Why would you add a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Farrell and spend an extra $3M for a guy that is a UFA in 2 years, when if you are patient Barron could be a top 4 D. The organization has Reinbacher and Mailloux too. One of these 3 players will likely become an Andersson or greater.

No shot. KK is mid - on pace for 34 pts this season. Not paying a better player, a high pick, and another pick to acquire him on a bad contract

Thread: Undoing a mistake

Did you read those conditions on the CGY pick ? MTL ain't trading that pick and they ain't trading for Kotkaniemi either
The mistake wasn't to let him go, it was to pay premium for Dvorak

I agree 100% with the 7 you chose and the lineup/pairings too. Hold onto those 7 and wheel & deal with the rest.

Thread: would this line not pop off

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Habs4ever</b></div><div>I’ve watched every Laval game this year. I wouldn’t be trading Logan Mailloux. 6’3” 220 pounds, right hand shot with some bite that produces points. I wouldn’t trade him.

Also Montreal are stuck with Anderson and Gallagher, although Anderson is playing much better of late. Why do you think Ylonen is stuck on 4th line, when he has some upside in his game.

Also, kidney, Ferrell and Mesar are very similar players. Montreal can’t keep all 3. But these players are not energy line type of players. They are eventual 2nd line players, with PP time.

This trade deadline I see Allen, Monahan, Harris and Pearson going. Following year it will be Dvorak, Armia.

Montreal will be good in 2 years from now.</div></div>

a lot will happen that's for sure. Imo, Rehkopf-Beck-Mesar are all 2-3+ years away from NHL time. Who knows what will happen in those 3 years? Gallagher might be bought out, Roy might emerge, Dvorak will be gone, Armia and Savard too.

Lots will happen. I also stated it doesn't have to be Mailloux in the description. This Habs team will be okay under this management group. They're doing some special things right now.

Thread: Bravo Kent Hughes

definitely some premium asset management. For a rebuilder, they didn't have to do this, but Kent pulled it off well.

OUT
$4.5M×1
$1.1M×1
$1.8M×1

$7.4M

IN
$2.4M×2
$3.25M×1
$950k×1

$6.6M+(Legare's $790k so $7.4M)

Pretty well even on in and out cap. And a 2nd, 3rd, 4th to bat.(also worth mentioning is the Matheson+4th for Petry+Poehling branch of the tree)

Guhle is not a prospect he is a stud on defense. He already shown that he belomg in the Nhl and thag he can play against top opposition. Ryan Johanssen against seth Jones. And he was a centerman.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StLHockey</b></div><div>Wow, why not just throw in Thomas and Buch while you’re at it. Probably would only need to add a 4th with haul the Blues are already getting</div></div>

Guhle would already be St louis 1st d. Since pietrangelo departure StLouis have been a total reck defensively. And with that aging core adding a talent like Guhle is for sure worthy of trying something. Kyrou is great but he is just a winger. Guhle will play 22-24 minutes against top line. But i guess you arr better to stay put will all those 30 years old who can’t defend a beach volleyball.

LOL. Having an opinion on a team is why this Troll wrote the following:

"Ah yes. The Canadiens fan tries to defend his team.. doesn’t sound bias at all!"

He was not trolling, he really believes what he's writing, but he's too offended to defend his position, because "reasons".

What’s classless is sitting there and claiming that someone has to make an opinion to not feel so small about themselves. This is a hockey forum site - it’s meant for opinions. If you don’t like it, don’t get involved in the conversation.</div></div>

Alright. Let's converse. Why Mr. Troll, do you assess the Defensemen here as "AHL Caliber"? Did you base it on games played? Last year's stats? Advanced Stats? Prove to me why any of the 6 starting D should be in the AHL?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GreatWhiteNorth</b></div><div>It’s not as good as you think.

That’s an AHL calibre defence and goalie tandem. The bottom 6 forwards are atrocious. The top 6 might be a middle 6 unit on a good team.. that doesn’t get you wins.

Bottom 5 team.</div></div>

AHL Caliber... Your comment isn't even ECHL caliber sir. Pull up your socks!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Habs4ever</b></div><div>I agree with you on Beck. But CHL players were losing revenue from ticket sales so it was agreed to keep 19 year olds in junior. If players make NHL, then money is sent to CHL Teams to offset financial losses.</div></div>

Yeah, makes a lot of sense for guys like Roy, Mailloux or Kidney since they play a spectacular offensive style. Drives the ticket sales.
Guess this is the best compromise they could do. Hope it doesn't discourage Beck much.
