<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>I see a real fit for Strme in Montréal, but I really think the Hawks look at a Strome for Armia swap. Similar contracts, and Armia has term.

Be a wonderful addition on their 3rd line.... and makes more sense the Lehkonen.

As for a more mobile blueline......

I have been beating that drum for 3 years. It's a blueline that can insulate Price (like he needs it lol) and Allen, but outside if Petry (maybe Romanov, too early for me to really comment), cannot drive offensively.....

Bergevin has drafted players that solve that issue, but how far away are they? Guile looked good at camp, Norlinder as well. But being a proponent of proper AHL marinating, a stop gap maybe needed.</div></div>

im fine with an armia for strome swap. he has drafted the players, but he also signs these free agents like chiarot and savard who are just big bois who can clear the puck in front of the net. but with this new push for slashing rules, i think these d-men are out of date. now its all about skill and puck movement for D. skate with the puck out of the zone instead of dumping it in.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>markmws</b></div><div>I like it. I would consider swapping Guhle and Norlinder, as Norlinder actually plays on the right side and Guhle is dominant on the left. While I think Harris may need some seasoning in the AHL, he may not sign if they tell him that. Drafting NCAA kids can be <em>tough</em> : I hope that, during the next CBA negotiation, teams actually get <em>some</em> level of protection from just loosing their drafted NCAA players. It's always kind of unnerving there. Teams (and not just Montreal) are left in a difficult spot of having to consider dealing them for pennys on the dollar if they feel as though the player won't sign.</div></div>

i think harris signs with mtl. its not like he's a stud coming out of college. i dont see any indication of the habs mistreating him. i wanted guhle with edmundson because of the size factor. both are big boys. norlinder may take some time to adjust to the north american game.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div><strong>First,</strong> Wow five picks added in 2022, two first, a second (six picks in the first two rounds) and two thirds.
That makes my day start off great right away.
Then for desert I get a first in 2023 as well.
<strong>Second,</strong> before the draft the Sabres had Dahlin (a first over all), Bryson (only Ristolainen had more SH TOI ), and Samuelsson (a defensemen no Sabre ACGM seems to want to trade), yet the Sabres chose Power with their first over all pick.
If the 2023 first is the desert after a full meal, then Romanov is the after diner cordial, while Drouin and Lehkonen are the night caps.
IMO beyond a doubt the best MTL offer I have seen on this site.
Drouin would allow me as the Sabre GM to trade Olofsson.
If Drouin does well, I look as I am a hockey genius. If he falls flat on his face, then I have solidified last over all and earned more assets from the Olofsson trade.
While I am exaggerating a little, a 2022 second is more valuable than a 2023 first because the player will be ready sooner and the draft is deeper.
Show me the paper work while I work on Jacks travel visa.</div></div>

plus drouin is a ufa after next year. if he doesn't work out, you let him walk. if he works out, you can always flip him at the tdl by retaining his salary. win win.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>hockey247 why are you the way you are?

Cheap and broke would be not spending money, like the Sabres. I’m not a fan of the way the Canes lost Nedeljkovic, nor am I shocked by the supposed final offer they gave to Dougie. Both offers were presented as the value they placed on those players. Both players were in the Canes organization for several years (3 for Dougie and 7 for Nedeljkovic), and the canes capped their expenditures on those players.

The Dougie contract was outrageous, so have been the recent rash of stupid crazy defenseman contracts handed out. Canes wanted no part of that. Dougie is a regular season player, not a playoff performer. Dougie’s points per game in the playoffs take a nose-dive, where other Canes players (Slavin/Pesce) see their points rise…why? That Dougie contract and it’s NMC NTC laden 9 AAV is going to look real silly in 3 years.</div></div>

this convo died a long time ago bud. my point was proven when your gm and owner couldn't pay your own home developed goalie and hamilton.
