Thread: Preparing for a Playoff Run Next Year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sr_Advisor_Hockey_Ops</b></div><div>. OK how about this revised proposal? Ottawa trades 30-year old Nikita Zaitsev (retain $1m. so 2 years left at $3.5m) + Ottawa 2022 2nd Rd pick + Max Guenette for 31-year old David Savard (3 years $3.5m). Montreal keeps Byron.</div></div>

you could say Ottawa retains 50% on Zaitsev but I still don't think Montreal would be interested , Zaitsev not the type of player I would want to bring in if I was doing a rebuild. I have heard thru the media that Guenette is doing well in Belleville but a 7th round pick having a good year in the AHL is not exciting me , then again he may turn out to be decent. Since Montreal is rebuidling I think you would have to offer a young player with promise. Nothing wrong with Savard staying in Montreal , they are going to need some vets.

Thread: TDL HABZ No cringe ffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tarlam01</b></div><div>Unlike Zucker, Hoffman has been playing in Montreal. I get that he didn't play all too well but neither Zucker has. Hoffman, on the other hand, has a unique skill revolving around the Power Play. Something that Zucker simply doesn't have anymore. Hoffman can be a deadly depth weapon to use on a your 1st or 2nd wave. I also feel like Pittsburgh has the tools to bring him back to his old form. He was still a great producer while he wasn't on Montreal last year. I feel like the Montreal effect isn't considered enough while evaluating current players playing for them</div></div>

So here's the thing...

Regardless of what you're saying, the Pens would be gambling on the fact what you're saying is correct and adding a year of contract on their books, so if it doesn't work out then they're in a worse position than they are now. FWIW, Zucker is a superior player in every other aspect of the game which you can easily verify by analyzing the underlying stats. Zucker is a very good 200ft player who brings speed and grit, so at the very least the Pens are a better team when Zucker is on the ice. When Hoffman isn't scoring, he's basically a ghost out there.

So yeah, you may right in how he'd fit, but it's still a gamble at the end of the day and they shouldn't have to ADD for that possibility. If this trade went down I think it's a fair 1-for-1.

Thread: we need wright
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>Doesn't matter. Montreal doesn't have the luxury of taking someone who might put up more points. Wright is the consensus pick, has better size, leadership qualities, and is the more complete player. If they can take him, they have to.

Imo, if they can't get Wright, try to trade down and work into position to take Jiricek and Geekie if possible.</div></div>

I’m not saying you don’t take Wright at 1, I mean getting 2nd overall won’t be the worst thing
