<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoSeider53</b></div><div>:laugh Filip Hronek is seeking 8x7.5m or 8x8m He's not signing that low-ball offer. If he was willing to sign that cheaply Detroit would've never traded him.

Mathewson &lt; Crouse Arizona/Utah passes.

Steven Stamkos isn't signing on a rebuilding bottom feeder team.</div></div>

Yeah my bad for Hronek definitely higher.

Matheson is top 10 in D points this year for a 5M contract why is everyone here so low on him, better year than Weegar, Dahlin, Seider. And you think he's worth less than a 40 point winger with size ? I was being nice to Utah.

Stamkos is a good friend of Marty and has nothing to prove anymore with 2 cups, probably promise him 1st line minutes with 1st PP and add 1-2 million extra per year than Tampa. Off course he can still stay there for 4x7M but the idea is not far fetch he could land in Montreal

Thread: Next season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WhoCares_ItsAFantasyGame</b></div><div>I'm thinking he's moving him out because of the same points you are making. First time he's been consistent. Trade him while he's got value and won't lose him to UFA as he's saying those things to the Habs thinking he's worth 5M$/yr. At 1.5M$/x1 I'd keep him if it wasn't for Gally and Anderson taking the right wing, but at 3.4M$ if someone is willing to take him for depth and a contract year player who will give it all to get that next contract, it's a good move for a team looking to rebuild and have a few players able to move into his spot.

He's back into playing mode, but you want to maximize the return on that player.</div></div>

Then don't trade him in the off season but at the 2025 TDL where instead of getting a 4th round he might even fetch a late 2nd with retention. If he starts the year well and gets his (15-20 goals / 10-15 assists) on 50ish matches we will get a good return.

Taking our final retention spot right now removes any type of flexibility during the year on other contracts.

Dvorak is an other player we might need that retention spot at the TDL (there's also always broker teams)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sharcuda22</b></div><div>I would disagree quite a bit. Duclair and Zetterlund put up similar points totals but they play very differently. Zett is more in line with typical be big and hit hockey guys. I also never said he was worth a first that was you again. Barron and Zetterlund have quite a gap in value. Zetterlund is already a proven NHLer, and Barron is not demonstrably better than the RD we already have in Ruuta Burroughs Benning Emberson or Thompson. We just dont need a player like him and certainly not as the main piece coming back in a trade for Zetterlund. The value isnt close.</div></div>

So Zetterlund isn't worth a 1st
Barron value is still a high 2nd

But you're saying the value isn't close ? Maybe you don't personally want Barron and that's fine but you shouldn't be saying the value is off (adding Ylonen also btw that still has some limited value)

What would be a fair ask then ?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tikiming</b></div><div>He is good but A 5,9 player 33 years old guys on a rebuilding small team who’s probably drop 65 pts to 55 to 45 sonner than later is just not a fit.
Don’t want Norris Karlsson too and don’t want Ulmark Vézina.</div></div>

I get what your saying for size but Stamkos is actually older then Marchessault so no need to bring that as an argument . Stamkos won't get an 100pts season and is likey also to fall off.

Would I prefer a bigger body like Stamkos? Yeah definitely but I'm not willing to spend 8-9.5M for the next 3-5 years

I'm 100 % on board to get bigger, draft Lindstrom and go trade for size for someone like Lawson Crouse or similar build. However we need goal scoring on the wings for Dach and Marchessault for 3 year fits that role

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sharcuda22</b></div><div>There is no, its sarcasm because its value is way off and the main piece coming back is one the sharks already have x100. I also want to clarify that I never said the return for Zett would be a 1++. If he’s plays at the same pace and someone wants to trade for him. That’s a RFA 20 goal scorer x2 making under 2million and team control. He’s also a profile the sharks really really like. that means if he is gonna move it’s gonna be an over pay. You chose to take overpay as meaning 1st++ I didn’t say that headhack</div></div>

I get it I'm exaggerating of course but even assuming that he's worth a 1st is far fetched but I could see it happening in the future. However this type of player on a contender is a 3rd line winger that's probably in the 30-40 range similar to Duclair who just fetched 2 x 3rd rounders at the TDL.

Duclair similar type of player however not the same contract situation with control, however available on the market just to name him... Hence trading Barron for Zetterlund (25 this summer) value wise isn't far fetched as you're portraying it to be.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ujeje</b></div><div>Okay so first year is going Atkinson &lt;-&gt; Anderson and our 2nd for Barron. Seems about right. Then Flyers are taking cap dump of 5,5M for 2 years. That's worth about 19th ovr. So this is just missing that WPG first and changing that 3rd for Habs 3rd instead.

Anderson with that contract is considered as a cap dump for Flyers (and anyone else), may he be more suitable for Flyers than Habs or not. Right now he would still be 4th liner at most, and for that you can have players for 1M if needed. RW is already the least wanted position for Flyers. And yes I'm aware he's able to skate on LW also but RW is the natural position.

But after all this rant I also agree that he ain't that bad player, just not worth that contract, not even close. Retain 50% and it's already a different story.</div></div>

I think retraining 50% would indeed make way more sense and you could flip him last year with a extra retention to gain a pick in 2026-2027.

I see Anderson as a good 3rd liner in the good system however that system is not Montreal. Not throwing in the towel just yet tho, might have a bounce back season next year and flip him with retention for a mid pick instead of paying a 1st to dump him

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ujeje</b></div><div>I don't get how that Anderson dump is making "a lot of sense" for Flyers. He'd be like the winger 8-10 in Flyers roster while having 5,5M cap hit for 3 more years. Barron ain't enough to cover it

Edit. The proposal you saw was made by a Habs fan.</div></div>

To be fair we're taking Atkinson so it's a cap hit of 5.5 for 2 extra years and you get a RD with potential of being top 4.

Also Anderson under Marty St Louis isn't working right now and hes already said he liked to work with Torts. On this same website a year ago people were willing to acquire Josh for a late first. I don't think he's a bad player, I think a change a scenery would bring him back to a physical 40 pt winger and would fit well on the Philly culture
