Thread: Different take
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsFan33</b></div><div>Yes I did in the sense I didn't sign him to his entry level contract but no I didn't as it pertains to him being in the NHL next year. Although he may be tearing it up in college, I don't see him having remotely the same impact in Montreal next year. IMO, he'll need one full year in Laval to learn to be a pro and if miraculously, he tears it up in AHL, you can call him up during the season. I think Habs fans should prepare themselves for a slight bust in Caufield. I highly doubt he will be able to score 20 goals consistently at the NHL level. Obviously, it's way too early to right him off but the amount pressure they will put on him will be too much to bear. I just don't see anything in his game (beside his shot) that leads me to believe he'll be a star in the NHL. But hey, I hope I'm wrong!</div></div>

Alex Debrincat, who is roughly the same size, made the jump from the OHL straight to the NHL. The NCAA is a tougher league in the sense that Caufield was playing against people older than him (i.e. 23 vs 20) while Debrincat was one of the older players in the O. He can and he will make the team next year, he would be taking Tatar's "spot".

Thread: trade DROUIN keep TATAR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Khalenix</b></div><div>Drouin maybe has more talent but tatar has been a very stable point producer and Mtl's best forward since he joined the team.

Drouin's never been close to achieving any of that.

I would also keep Tatar and trade Drouin - Give Caufield a chance on the 3rd line next year and move Toffoli up in the lineup makes more sense to me (and it frees 5.5M to sign Danault, which I would also keep over Drouin).</div></div>

Tatar has played with stable and better linemates than Drouin tho. Tatar has not been MTL's best forward since joining the team, stop. Gallagher has been the best forward on the team the past 3 years.

Toffoli is taking Tatar's spot next year with either tatar or armia on the third line with Caufield, I agree with you there. However I don't see them resigning Danault

Thread: My take on Dubois
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>And why should we assume that Danault will realistically extend in CBJ? Trades in the NHL arent made with extensions in mind, and I can assure you the rapid nature of this trade doesn't allow for one to be made in time for the trade.



We are comparing Danault, who has just gotten on the radar, to someone who already pretty much at his level at 22 years old.



I mean, if you want to be excited after 6 games, then be my guest? Don't see what this has to do with your argument.</div></div>

You need to understand that Danault would also certainly be included in the trade because CLB would need to take back salary and he's the one with the most value. I doubt they want what is essential a cap dumb in Byron (I like the player but lets be honest). Other stuff would be included but I can't see it working unless Danault goes the other way + Caufield or maybe a D prospect (I don't know what columbus needs more)
