Thread: Few ideas for 2024
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Headhack</b></div><div>Fair enough, not the best trade partners cause we're at a similar spot in the rebuild and needing the same thing.

However I would imagine Harris + Beck + Winnipeg 1st would make it value wise (overpay imo not peanuts) but this might just make the team Mid. Dach (former 3OA) higher ceiling then Sillinger at the time got traded for 13 OA.</div></div>

We arent interested in quantity over quality. Harris, Beck and a late 1st does not meet any of our needs, so we would have no reason to make that trade. You would have to offer a high end piece that results in us getting a comparable value player, so either a top 6 caliber prospect or a top 15 pick. It going to be painful to trade for a talented young player, you would be losing a player or asset that you dont want to.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Headhack</b></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</div></div>

Granted that Matheson had a career year with 62 points, Prior he's basically been between 20-30 point defenseman, I don't think that Crouse for a Dman is what Salt Lake City would be asking for. Especially for a Dman that's heading for the wrong side of 30.

Thread: Next season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Headhack</b></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></div>

The TDL waiting will assume he'll still be playing to the level of the last month and a half. Hugues may take that chance or will he take a knee and grab what he can for him now without retention on the salary to use it for the full year?

I would personally move him as soon as possible. Some players have their ups and downs, had he been on fire since November or December they may have had calls for him at TDL giving more than expected. None of us know what's going on right now, but if an offer comes in, I would try to work it out.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Antorche</b></div><div>IMO Montreal wont give up a first for 1 year of Dvorak, they dont need the cap space that much. CGY needed it to sign Kadri when they traded Monahan but I dont see MTL going for a top 5 free agent and giving up a 1st to do it</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Taz</b></div><div>MTL don't need cap space. They're not paying anything to move Dvorak</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>Dvo isn't a capdump. He's better than Wennberg who got traded for a 2nd at the last TDL.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Headhack</b></div><div>If Dvo had 2-3 more years maybe it would be a cap dump (not for a 1st tho), Canadiens have cap space and will not be competing for the cup anyways next year.

By TDL next year if he was +-25 points with 10 goal he will be flipped for 3rd pick with half salary retention. No need to cap dump him, if that player would be Anderson you're offer would make more sense however this won't happen for Buf</div></div>

Ok, krebs for pick it is

Thread: Habs win Celebrini lottery
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ht42</b></div><div>All of the 3 players have much more value than Necas...................................... Bergevin isn't anymore the Habs GM.......

Caufield have somes better offensive stats than Necas at a younger age, Suzuki is able to carry offensively a full team and Slaf can hit easily the 70-80 pts mark next season.

But Necas is now 25-26, have a good season (and haved a breakout season last year with playing with Aho, etc.), but already hit his prime.</div></div>

I agree, hence the reason I said he was delusional. He thinks Necas is McDavid or MacKinnon, hell most Canes fans seem to think that. Necas has a career average of 55 points a season, which he is once again conveniently on pace for but they see that 71 point season as being his norm not the outlier it is. Necas has Domi's value yet they think he is McDavid or something.
