Thread: Giving it a shot
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hitagi_Senpai</b></div><div>I see that logic yes. But what if that pick hits and turns into a Arthur Kaliyev, Nils Höglander, Alexander Romanov, Jason Robertson, Nic Hague, Jesper Boqvist, Mario Ferraro, Alex DeBrincat, Jordan Kyrou, Filip Hronek, Erik Cernak, Sebastian Aho, Brandon Carlo, Jordan Greenway.

And that's just a few hits in round 2 back to 2015.


And if Petry doesn't get better, unretained that's a big contract that looks so bad.

I can see him no retained for a 3rd or early 4th. Or I can see him retained 50% for a late second, early 3rd</div></div>


Montreal traded Ben Chiarot for a 1st round pick. Petry is quite a bit better than Ben Chiarot (although Petry is on a longer term contract than Chiarot was when Chiarot was traded). Petry turned into his old self when St. Louis came on board as the coach. Montreal may have to take a mediocre contract back (i.e. $4M for a year or two), but I think Petry is definitely worth a first round pick in a trade if Ben Chiarot resulted in a first.

Thread: What do Oilers fans think of this trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilnate</b></div><div>Jp has more trade value then Allen. Tbh Oilers shouldn’t be even considering moving him for anything less than a roster player of equal value and a pick. Aloe doesn’t have the stats that make me think he can be a starting goalie. And I think Anderson is a dud. I think he’s a worse version of Kane and an extremely overpriced version of JP. Barrie isn’t a cap dump. He gets treated like one cause our cap situation is ****ed but he plays his role well

“The Oilers shouldn’t even be considering moving JP for anything else other than a roster player of equal value and a pick”. But if Edmonton gets someone of “equal value” why does the other team throw in a pick if they are trading away “equal value”?</div></div>

Thread: Montreal trading for better picks question
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>LMAO! Dvo + Anderson would get a top 5 pick. Considering Anderson + 26th likely gets a pick in the 6-10 range this year and Dvo + 26th likely gets a similar return you are massively under estimating the value. See the link below for an idea on what types of trades the Habs would have to get for just Anderson. I know these are not actual insiders stating value but it does give you an idea of what Montreal would or should want.

I don't know if it would get a top 5 pick, to be honest. It is $10M in salary going out, there is an injury history with Anderson and all the teams in the top 5 are in the rebuild stage, not the compete now stage (maybe Philly is an exception). I would be very happy if Montreal did get into the top 5, though.

I really do not see Dvorak as part of a long term plan (with Wright and Suzuki being #1 and #2 -- plus cheaper options of Farrell, Kidney and Mysak coming up). I say get rid of him now and tank for next year.

Maybe i have just acquiesced to the anti-Habs people on here who say all of our players have no value! LOL!!

Thread: A hypothetical question about Josh Anderson for next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HeadHighSauce</b></div><div>27 goals and 4 years at 5M is not even remotely close to being worth a shot at Bedard, Fantilli, or Michkov</div></div>

Well it was 27 goals at the deadline, which is on pace for 36 over a full year. I acknowledge that it has been difficult for Anderson to stay healthy for a full year!

Plus I mentioned throwing in Florida's first round pick in 2023 and another prospect, so that it would not just be Anderson for the 6 to 8 position at the trade deadline.

The fact that the move would be made at the trade deadline was relevant because other playoff teams would be vying for him, so the non playoff teams like Ottawa, Philadelphia and NJ would have to make the move at the deadline if they wanted him.

Another factor is that being in the 6th tp 8th position only gives you a 7.5% to 6% chance to win the lottery. With 20 games left in the season the team that get Anderson could improve their position and move to 12th or so.

My post was kind of a reaction to the many posts on here about Montreal possibly trading Anderson +++ to NJ for the 2OA pick (which many people seem to have many different opinions on).

If my hypothetical was crazy, that's fine. I was just wondering.
