Thread: Next Phase Habs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>remowilliams</b></div><div>Your opinion.Short-sighted hmmm.Do you honestly think the Canucks are gonna let the best player they have had in Years just leave without doing whatever is needed to keep him.Its not happening.They will NOT let him leave.They will offer him what he wants.They have built the team around him and Hughes.Its not realistic.Not sure how many times he has Publicly stated He Loves Vancouver these are real facts.Again just My opinion.</div></div>

Also the first thing I said up above in the description was the assumption that Petterson could use his leverage to walk away. Is it likely? who knows. Is it possible, without a doubt and he wouldn't be the first to do it. - Tkachuk, Gaudreau, Dubois, Adam Fox (twice - Man, poor Calgary)

It's not unheard of for the best player to love the city, express a desire to sign long term and for the Team to do everything they can to convince them to stay, only for them to do something else entirely.

Thread: Habs step foward for playoffs contention
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ht42</b></div><div>Lol what..........

Stamkos will likely reach the 80 pts mark and he is not washed........ Tampa put him on the 2nd line because they want to balance their top 6.

Just look how many years he signed, and MTL will likely been a playoffs team during 25-26. He will bring somes leadership for this team.

Don't forget that's extremly possibe because St-Louis and Lecavalier are on the Habs organisation now.</div></div>

I never said he's washed, but the Habs will be doing themselves no favors paying Stamkos for what he is now. The NHL is changing, if any team wants to win they have bet on potential, pay for it and hope that the potential exceeds the pay. Stamkos could very likely be worth 7 million but I doubt he's worth more than that at 35, 36 and 37.

Thread: Next Phase Habs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>remowilliams</b></div><div>Peety has made it clear he wants to win now.Habs are no closer to winning now than the Canucks are.Why would he choose the Habs over the real contenders.No disrespect to the Habs just dont see a fit.IMHO.</div></div>

That seems short-sighted. What real contenders are going to afford him today? The habs are working to be a real contender in 2 to 3 years, the ground work is there, if they can sell that idea to petey he becomes a big part of the reason they are contenders.

Todays Contenders that could use Petterson? Boston with no Cap Room and no assets to trade, Carolina has the cap but no assets to trade.

Petterson could always use his leverage to get himself to UFA stats as I mentioned above.

The Habs are closer than you think.

Thread: Deadline Deals
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>According to Tankathon based on GP and P% the Wings will pass the Cat's and they are not selling off assets to tank cause they are just entering their final stages of the rebuild, they may add at the deadline in preparation for next year too. The Cat's aren't catching the Caps, Pens or Lightening for a playoff spot and the Ilse's and Flyer's are going to add as well since they are not looking to tank just retool and have as good of a shot at catching the Pen's and Cap's as the Cat's do, so they could also leapfrog the Panther's. Until the final standings are sorted out and the lottery has been drawn Montreal is <strong>not</strong> trading the Cat's pick. Besides that even if the Cat's finish with the 16th pick they could still pick 6th which would be horrible to include in a trade for PLD, especially when we are adding to that.</div></div>

LOL I'm <strong>not</strong> even sure Kent Hughes is as committed as you are to not moving the pick. Me saying it could happen, does not mean it will happen, but nobody can be that definitively sure about this pick not being traded.

Thread: Deadline Deals
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheRealisticGuy</b></div><div>Like you said it won't happen at the 2023 TDL, but why would MTL offer that for PLD ?
Just offersheet him for 1 year
So the Jets have the option to not match &amp; receive MTL 2024 1st round pick &amp; MTL 2024 3rd round pick
or
They match &amp; PLD become an UFA summer 2024
It's a win-win for MTL and a 2024 1st + 3rd is less to lose then the package above</div></div>

Ok first of all, in this fake GM thingy, Montreal isn't making the offer, the Jets are.

secondly a 1 year offer sheet would be amazing if you're Dubois, ok if you're Winnipeg, and absolutely bonkers if you're Montreal.

a 1st and 3rd compensation means the habs offer sheeted him at a salary of no more than 6.3 million for 1 year. PLD signs it and is a UFA in one year when he can name his price - amazing for PLD. Jets would take seconds to decide to match this, they now have a piece that any contending team wants so they either keep him for their own playoff run in 2024 or trade him at the deadline for a package that will definitely be better than a 1st and a 3rd. Don't forget, Ben Chariot got the habs an unprotected 1st, a 4th and prospect at the deadline.

If Montreal is willing to wait, just wait one more year and it won't cost them a thing except an UFA contract offer. Offer sheeting is an absolutely career limiting move for Hughes.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Montreal is not moving the Cat's pick before they even know where it will land and maybe not even after they know.</div></div>

I'd disagree here. . Florida has the talent to be better and they have extra motivation to make moves to improve at the deadline. Even if they are in the lottery I wouldn't expect them to be worse than the bottom 11, meaning their pick cannot equal Bedard. What are the chances of getting another player with the impact of Dubois? So from Montreal's perspective, if that's the package, they do it in a heartbeat.

That said, Winnipeg is not doing that trade at the deadline. . Dubois is a huge part of their success right now and would be a huge piece in a stanley cup run, more so than Dvorak, Barron and two future picks. Winnipeg can get the same package from Montreal in the summer.

The only way this happens at the deadline is if Dubois is injured and done for the season.

Thread: Did Kyle Dubas/Auston Matthews strengthen the chances of offer sheets?
Offer sheet Rules state that the AAV must be averaged over the lesser of the term or 5 years. So no one would offer a 6, 7 or 8 year contract because that would automatically mean a compensation of 4 1st round picks.

Now that Matthews has shown the value of a 5 year contract, more RFAs might have some interest. So a 5 year - $50 million contact means the compensation is two 1st round picks, one second and one third. Take a look at this list who is worth two firsts, a second and a third?

Mitch Marner
Patrik Laine
Mikko Rantanen
Brayden Point
Matthew Tkachuk
Brock Boeser
William Karlsson
Sebastian Aho

Granted some of these players are probably closer to the 7 to 9 range. . . in which case the compensation could be less.

I wouldn't mind if the habs gave up two firsts a second and a third for Laine.
