Thread: Contending now and set up for the future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cbc16</b></div><div>I found your trade for Nurse pretty surprising!
you pay quite a lot for getting your hands on those assets, I believe a little too much actually.
But if you put yourself in the Oilers shoes, what they need is defense. wingers and pick... not sure that will do the job. They need a Nurse, they even made they 1st rounder available in return of a solid D.

The price at which you sign Danault surprise me too. I believe he will be sign above the 3M dollars, under Shaw's salary.</div></div>

I felt like with the addition of lehkonen and pacioretty they finally have the left wingers to play with their speedy centers. Lindgren was added aswell because since talbots season last year it is uncertain he will reach the form of 2 years ago.
On the Edmonton side of the trade this potentially opens up trading lucic and adding 2nd picks to retain no salary so they can go after players such as De Haan and maybe John Carlson in free agency

Thread: Habs Drafting at #4 (Please rate and comment)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>J_Sand3rs</b></div><div>I think the picks are fine, but I don't expect Tkachuk to start the season at the NHL level. The only two prospects this year that I can see starting their career in the NHL are Dahlin and Svechnikov. Tkachuk is an extremely solid prospect, but I have a hard time seeing NCAA players jump straight from college to the NHL. Dahling and Svechnikov both spent the past year in better leagues than the NCAA, and are ready to make that jump to the NHL. Give him half a year to get used to playing against grown men in the AHL and then call him up. No need to rush him, but I do think his skillset is just about NHL ready. Just want to see it against a little better competition before I throw him into the NHL.</div></div>

Ideally if MTL can get #3 i can see Zadina being in the NHL next year. I put Tkachuk in the lineup to show more of how the Current and future of the team would look. I also doubt Veleno would be NHL ready next year but o was putting them in the team to show how it would look for years to come

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CanesQue</b></div><div>The Bean for Patches idea has been a nonstarter for a while. They philosophically don’t want to trade young D prospects for older vets, particularly with only one year on their contracts. They wouldn’t do it for Duchene last year and I don’t think they’ll deviate to that extent going forward. To make a deal like that, they’d likely want Chucky involved. FLA is probably a better trade partner for Patches.</div></div>

Habs give 2 2nd round picks, McNiven AND pacioretty (who can resign with the Canes) for a Dman who hasn't proven himself yet and the 11th pick. Bean has a high potential but has no space in the Canes roster and will have to look at trading some of their D pieces before they lose them. Pacioretty is one of the better snipers in the game (regardless of this years performance), McNiven (similar situation to bean as he has no space in the habs roster) and 2 40-50 picks is an excellent return

Thread: Not John Tavares (rate and comment)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Habs4ever</b></div><div>And I do not mind it when someone does that. As long as it is somewhat realistic, I am not going to poop on someones parade. Sometimes the comments on here are harsh. We do not know if the person on the other end is a 12 year old trying this, an 80 year old or an ex NHL player. So, it is good to temper our responses. Personally I doubt Tavares signs with MTL and Patch is a 30 goal scorer, those guys do not grow on trees. MTL needs a top C a nastier 4th line RW. Similar to Deslauriers but on the RW side. A nastier Alzner and more sound Petry. We have a goalie and plenty of wingers. We also have a decent top 4 for many years once the other 3 (Mete, Juulsen and Reilly) get more seasoning. Reilly with a vet like Weber would really help Reilly. Mete could pair well with Juulsen. Both need a good 15 pounds but they should be good for several years.

I do not agree with complete overhauls. Identify your nucleus and add to it.</div></div>

Tbh im happy with our d-core (juulsen, mete, petry, weber) but in the position we are in the standings, we will most likely end up with hughes or bouchard (d-men). Ideally, i would be obviously happy with dahlin, but if mtl can manage to get Zadina or Svechnikov (while working a deal to get a mid teen pick for veleno) it would be a good draft.
I dont know what it is but i cant see tavares staying with the islanders. They arent a playoff team, and have nothing to offer J.T to stay other than Barzal and Eberle. Mtl will have the most cap space to offer him the best deal so i dont see johnny being too far of a dream

Look for my first comment for a response for ur first part. As for the Galchenuk piece, why would he re sign if it was so garbage? Misuse was an issue i agree, however, he is playing some of his better hockey recently and looks decent with Drouin.
