Thread: UFA vets to complete top 6
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jay27</b></div><div>Idk, Stammer is great but I just don’t think it’s a great idea to go out and spend 10.5 a year for the next 3 years on a guy who’s 34 years old. Also I know +\~ is an archaic stat and all but has anyone else noticed that he is a ~21 on a team that has a +25 goal differential?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jay27</b></div><div>If MTL goes out and spends nearly 15mill on veteran UFAs this year then what happens next year when they need to sign Guhle and Slafkovsky to long term contracts?</div></div>

It a fair point, however if you look at the longterm outlook tab, you can see that the following year, the habs will have 30M$ in cap space to sign them.

I expect Slaf to get something like Caufield’s deal and that they will bridge Guhle.

As for the reason to pick up Stamkos - I think <a href="/users/F50marco" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@F50marco</a> sums it up quite well!

You want that vet presence in the locker room… and so far our vets seem to play on the bottom 6.

Let’s splurge on the old rockstar - we can afford it.

Thread: 3 appropriately sized scoring lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>The list of players there,

Celebrinin went to NCAA before being drafted not after.....
The list of players there, you realize you listed guys who spent 2 years in the NCAA after draft. Which puts him out of this acgm.
If he was planning on going pro, why even apply to NCAA when he's draft eligible this year?
the odds simply aren't in your favor he's going to 1 and done but you have a hard time accepting that.</div></div>

It's not unheard of and will ultimately depends on his play during his first year. If he scores 45 goals in 33 games next year... I doubt that the habs would leave him in the NCAA for an extra year.

If he ends the season with 25 goals, 25 pass in 35 games but he is -75, then yeah, they might let him dev his D game a bit more in the NCAA.

TBH, habs are not competing for another 3 years - so there is no rush and I expect them to make the appropriate decision with his development... if they draft him.
