Thread: Compliance Buyout Roster

MTL would 1000% buyout Alzner over Price.

Thread: Its bold

I really doubt that a 4th liner, B prospect, likely very late 1st and late 2nd is enough for a bonafide, 22 year old top 6 C. It's more than likely that at least half the teams in the league would beat that offer.

To get him with an offer-sheet would probably cost 4 first round picks; that's likely the type of value NYI are looking for in a trade.

Thread: Pacioretty

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>Foglino only carries about the value between a 2nd and 3rd with that cap hit.

Nuttivara is the primary asset here, but even he isn't enticing enough, nor is he the quality by which Brannstrom will be.

So if Foglino and the 4th equate to the 2nd that OTT got, that means Nuttivara must equal Brannstrom (which he does not) to only match the cost Max was acquired for... and Max probably has gained value since that trade.
You're short quite significantly.</div></div>

Suzuki was actually the player traded for Pacioretty (along with Tatar and a 2nd), which I feel just validates your point even more.

Thread: These are my estimated Trade costs of the 13 Top Wingers maybe ava for Pens

Can't speak for the others but MTL need a 1st coming back for Tatar, especially if retaining cap. This offer is at most equivalent to two 2nds and a 3rd which isn't enough. Galchenyuk just isn't interesting for them given his history there and pending UFA status.

Also no, flipping him at the deadline is not a great idea and would be a hassle which would likely not get great value.

Seems good though a team offering a 2020 1st might win out in a bidding war.

Yeah that's definitely a much better offer that MTL would strongly consider. Maybe a team able to offer a 2020 1st could win out but this is definitely an acceptable offer.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ICantHaveFunWithMyUsername</b></div><div>It fits the Habs needs as Romanov is coming in pretty soon, and Juolevi would be behind him on the left defense chart.

The point is that MTL require at least a guaranteed 1st to move Tatar. If VAN don't want to provide it then some other team will.

Juolevi would be an interesting add for MTL but more in a change of scenery type trade, not as the centerpiece of a Tatar trade IMO.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ICantHaveFunWithMyUsername</b></div><div>Remember the last time a team traded a guaranteed first for Tatar? He sucked in Vegas, but the Golden Knights got lucky and made the Stanley Cup Finals. I’m not taking that same risk for him.</div></div>

Then you just won't get him because this offer is very underwhelming.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Well they were going to spend it somewhere or another, and 7mil for a 20-30 goal 45-50 pt player is not too far out of whack.

Point is that they need that cap for guys like Gallagher, Danault and Domi.

Seeing as they aren't contenders this season getting younger is the priority. If they were interested in spending money on older players they would prefer doing it on Tatar and Petry. This trade would prevent that.

You just annihilated the cap space MTL need to re-sign their key players over the next 2 years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rja</b></div><div>Would adding the Chicago 2nd acquired from the Shaw trade still be worth it for MTL?</div></div>

That could very well be a top 40 pick so I'd say no. Highest I would go is 2021 2nd, but that's just my opinion.

Thread: Tatar

I would prefer retaining 50% on Tatar than taking Nino.

Tatar @ 50% for 1st & 2nd would be about what I would target as MTL.

Thread: Who wants him

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Franking1</b></div><div>It’s not just about the bad penalties. He is a good player but he need to learn how to play as a team and not for his ego.

Some players take longer than others to get it together, Gallagher used to get lots of goalie interference calls. He cleaned it up and now I can't remember the last time he took one. Same for Brad Marchand. He used to take really dumb penalties but has dialed it down considerably. Hopefully Domi does the same.

Really ? Idk about you but I prefer seeing a guy show some emotion than just give up, even if it does result in a penalty.

He is on the last year of his contract with CSKA. We're hopeful that he comes over for next season and his visiting MTL seems like a good sign.

LHD is probably MTL's biggest weakness, trading Romanov just doesn't make any sense.

Thread: Is this enough MTL

The problem with that MTL trade is that there isn't really anything there that's interesting for the Habs.

If they are rebuilding then Sutter doesn't fit in terms of age (though I suspect you included him for cap purposes), Stecher is ok but not someone who you give up Domi for. Brisebois is very meh and Juolevi hasn't shown any indication of even being an NHL player to this point.

The 1st is nice but a year away and the two 2nds don't make up for the lack of quality in that offer.

Thread: Max Domi - MTL Fans what do you think

Seeing as MTL is sort of rebuilding, I don't think trading a 24 year old Domi for a 28 year old Fowler makes a whole lot of sense.

Well given the age and contract status of Tatar, combined with the emergence of some of the kids and Habs falling in the standings I have to disagree here.

This trade gets them a 1st as well as younger players, pretty much exactly what they should hope for if they decide to sell.
