Meant aging danault, Tatar, and Gallagher</div></div>

I mean in case he wants to retire / if we’re trading him. And I didn’t say anything about TDG. I’m still not sure what we do with each of them.

Thread: Giving Alzner another shot in the league and Drouin another chance at C

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AH96</b></div><div>I don't remember asking</div></div>

You’re going to have a hard time making a trade with a team if they don’t want to make the trade.

And you don’t want to put Jonathan Drouin on centre. He’s probably as effective of a centre as Brent Burns is. And Karl Alzner isn’t an NHLer on any team. He’s worse than a good chunk of the defensemen in the AHL.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>The difference is they dont get Reinhart</div></div>

I was literally saying that the habs don’t want to do this trade. So obviously if neither side wants to do it, it isn’t going to happen.

I wasn’t saying that Weber’s cap hit was any less. I also didn’t say that Price & Weber’s roles wouldn’t diminish.

Because he was great for the habs. Howard has been less than great this year.

It is highly unlikely for sure. I’m just saying that if the pens lose 3 games, it doesn’t necessarily mean they should start a full scale rebuild.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Arlotti47</b></div><div>Pretty sure you’re ineligible to get Laf but.</div></div>

If they lose to the habs they have an 11.1% chance of getting a top 3 pick. (Although the first part of the lottery would’ve already happened by then, so it’d be a bit different)

It’s 3 games. If Price carries the habs for 2 games, it’s not inconceivable to think that the habs can win 1/3.

Thread: 70M cap 2 CBO

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bdb</b></div><div>First I've heard of scaling back contracts, with CBO's the players still get paid, but they don't affect the cap. Scaling back would reduce everyone's contract 10-20% I assume. I'm not sure he PA would support a pay cut.</div></div>

Implementing a really low salary cap and 2 CBOs does next to nothing to actually cut the costs for teams, since they still need to pay bought out players.

What is most likely to happen IMO is that the cap stays the same, and the players’ salaries are scaled back, while their cap hit remains the same. That way it keeps the amount of escrow the players need to pay to as little as possible.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Howisbergevinstillhere</b></div><div>His point is were trying to win with price and Weber but also trying to win with caufield and kk. If bergevin gives out big contracts we might be in some trouble</div></div>

Sure we might have a bit of cap trouble in 23-24 when Romanov, Ylönen, and maybe Caufield’s ELCs are up, but that’s 3 years from now. Price and Weber will have 3 years left, (including only $3 million total on Weber’s contract) who knows what might happen. But I don’t think that we should tear the team apart because of <strong>possible</strong> inconveniences 3 years from now.

Thread: Buffalo trade

We’re paying Mete & a 3rd to trade Drouin for another winger? No chance.

Thread: Domi for Ekholm

This doesn’t make sense for either team. Ekholm is too old for the habs, and doesn’t play in a position of need and the Preds have enough centres before trading for Domi.

Thread: Funny two years later same problem 1C 1LHD

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>MTL is in a weird position where their 2 best players: price and Weber are into the backend of their careers, yet they do have a lot of youth coming up. As of a lot of comments have suggested... IF Suzuki or Romanov or Jk turn into a 1C or 1LHD, by the time that happens Weber and price won’t have much gas left in the tank. Bergavin should’ve blew this roster up years ago and committed to a rebuild</div></div>

I don’t really see the problem with trying to contend in a few years. Price may or may not still be very good, and if he isn’t it’s no big deal, since we have Primeau. And yeah, we don’t have anyone that could definitely take Weber’s place on RHD, but that’s the only position there are any questions about.

Since when are those guys “formal 1cs”? (Whatever that means)

If you don’t see Danault as a 1C that’s fine, but it’s hypocritical to say that Johansen and Staal are 1Cs at the same time.

I don’t understand why people want Montreal to add, when Rienhart and Domi put up similar point totals, while Rienhart is playing with Eichel.

Ok. I’m sure that management would rather the habs lose, but the players or coach don’t think that way whatsoever. And if anyone in management suggests tanking to the players/coaches, that’s not going to end well for them.

At least for the majority of players on MTL, they’re hockey players, and like most other hockey players, winning a Stanley Cup comes before everything.

No chance. This would be fine if Killorn has a year left, but his contract is bad, and we can’t afford him beyond next season.

Thread: The Cynical Point of View

The habs wouldn’t tank, even if they were guaranteed to get the 1st overall pick. And we’re especially not losing for an 11.1% chance at a top 3 pick.

Thread: Not sure its enough but Domi

If we’re trading Domi, it won’t be for a package. It will be for a winger who is about as good as him.

Looks good for the most part, although I doubt Ylönen will still be on the 4th line in 2025.
