Thread: Going shopping in MTL for a goal scoring winger

If you think Habs are trading Caufield? I’ve got some swamp land for you

Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs

I really don’t understand this trade at all. Toronto needs an upgrade at D and O’Reilly is one of the best face offs Centres in the league? Who are you moving out of centre Matthews? Nope! Tavares? Nope! And O’Reilly is way too good to put as your 3rd line Centre!

Also, Leaf’s hardly have any draft picks!

Thread: Unpopular and competitive 23-24

People keep laughing at me but I’ve been saying for two years Logan Mailloux will be a solid #4 dman for ten years. Montreal is not trading him.

Thread: 2 more players on the COL to SEA shuttle

Shane Bowers, drafted 6 years ago, only played 1 nhl game. For Jake Allen, a Stanley cup winner, excellent teammate, solid back up, that’s playing behind 4 rookies on D.

Come on! No poutine for you!

Finally others are seeing what I’ve been saying for months. Owen Beck and Logan Mailloux will both be on team within 2 years.

Thread: HABS not in a rush

Drouin has had 5 years to show us. In last two years he’s missed 50% of the games. I would show him a ticket for the airport

Thread: OffSeason

I’ll tell you why the Dubois trade as you put it won’t happen.

1. Kent Hughes gave an interview in French and said he considers this draft the deepest in 7 years and he wants to have 3 first round picks.

2. They traded for Kirby Dach and he’s only going to get better. At 6’4”, he’s going to be a very good.

3. I’ve known assistant coach Trevor Letowski from his Sarnia and later Windsor days & the coaching staff are extremely high on Owen Beck.

4. Wifi is not a top 4 dman but Habs finally have a player that will stand up to anybody in the league to protect his teammates. Kirby Dach said yesterday, we know we can play because we have Arber that has our backs.

Thread: Go habs Go

People have all kinds of opinions on here but I try not to debate term or trades, but I will say I was pleased to see both Owen Beck and Logan Mailloux in your line up. I’ve seen both players play numerous games and I’ve been saying both are knocking at the door and as usual I was mocked for saying that. Both players will play this upcoming season or the following.

Thread: I mean the rebuild starts quicker

If you think Price is retiring you don’t understand money. As long as he stays on LTIR he gets paid, as soon as he announces his retirement he no longer gets paid. Nobody is walking away from $23.5 million dollars still owed to him.

Thread: Habs rebuild

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>hes 58th in GSAX, 44th in GSAX/60 among goalies with 10 games played. He's 32, old with no upside, relatively expensive, and a mid tier backup caliber player.</div></div>

Chiarot was -17 when he landed a 1st round pick. Edmundson is -21 and he’s garnering interest. What you seem incapable of overlooking is Jake is playing behind 4 rookie dmen, something that is simply unheard of.

I’m NOT saying he will be traded, I’m NOT saying he will return a high return. I’m saying you’re focused on numbers without important intangibles that skew pertinent information. With that said it is possible a team takes a look at him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>Jake Allen is a 33 year old BAD goalie. If a second is the price for him ig the devils can get a first for Blackwood considering hes younger better and cheaper</div></div>

What really helps Jake is advanced metrics that favour his play. Don’t forget he is playing behind 4 rookies on defence. Something unheard of in the NHL. Plus he won a cup and he’s known as an excellent teammate. I’m not saying he’s going to be traded but he might get you a 2nd round pick. We’ll see in a month

Thread: Could this work

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>willinlisbon</b></div><div>I don't think Heinemen or Kapanen are ever going to be in a Habs uniform.
Kapanen has not impressed me at all, even though the opinion of him is high - he's going to eventually disappoint us fans. I live in Finland and I've seen him play very much - he's not all he's cracked up to be.
Heinemen feels like he's gonna be one of those prospects that looks good but is more comfortable in EU.

If I were to go with your new 3rd line, I'd much rather Roy - Beck - Galagher</div></div>

Excellent feedback. I scout in Canada and my territory is southern Ontario to northern Pennsylvania, western New York. So I appreciate your feedback on players I don’t see regularly. I’ve seen Owen Beck 25 times so I know he will play. Plus the assistant coach Trevor and I have been friends for fourteen years and he tells me the coaches really like Beck as well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>Question for montreal fans. How can all your players be of such high trade value to you, and yet your team is dog****. Surely if you had all these talented, valuable players your team wouldnt be a dumpster fire</div></div>

Montreal is in the middle of a rebuild. The team has excellent young players with good prospects coming. Montreal needs to move 5 to 7 players by this TDL and off-season.

Edmundson, Monahan & Allen are the only players that could return a 2nd and hopefully a 1st. The thing that gives Montreal fans these ideas is getting 1st round pick plus a prospect for Chiarot last season. Edmundson is better than Chiarot so hopefully teams get silly and we get a 1st round pick.

Dadonov, Drouin, Hoffman, Armia aren’t worth much. Lastly I really don’t think Anderson will be traded unless Hughes gets an offer he can’t refuse.

I try to keep emotions out of it and only look at the athlete as a hockey player. I find that helps but I do agree, I’ve seen some crazy lopsided trades and that includes Habs fans.

Owen Beck will. I spoke with Trevor Letowski that I’ve known since 2009, first with Sarnia and then with Windsor and the entire coaching staff including Marty are very high on Beck. He has a good shot at making team next year.

Kulak has no value, you'd be lucky to get a 6th.

Yeah, I've heard all that crappy brown stuff before.</div></div>

I saw the comments last year and decided to lay low because I knew Montreal was going to get good returns. As much as I like capfriendly it’s difficult because you don’t know if you’re talking to someone that played the game at a high level or a 14 year old with zits lol

People said the same thing about Chiarot last year. Teams going for it often overpay at the TDL. The patterns of recent years is Montreal should get good picks for Edmundson and Monahan

While you’re not asking for much for Hutton and Howden, Montreal has so much depth at LD & some good prospects coming on 3rd line which is where I see Howden.

Montreal says no because they will probably get a better offer elsewhere
