Thread: Trade all team for players with exact production

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>math731</b></div><div>Some of these just doesn't make sense... Kopitar is way better than Tatar, but Suzuki is way better than Iafallo and so is KK in comparison to Terry... This is pure non sense</div></div>

The trades were made based exclusively on point production this season, not whether one player is actually better all around.

Thread: Habs Trade Kovalchuk to Boston

I'm surprised and delighted by how well he is playing, he looks 27 not 37 out there. I guess he's motivated to make sure his career doesn't end with a whimper as it seemed it would in LA - its clear that he is one of those enigmatic talents where his success is as much in his head as what his body will allow him. If he sustains his point per game pace in the next few weeks he might, considering his tiny cap hit, fetch more than this from a contender. Won't get a first though, too risky for the other team if he goes to a new environment, decides he doesn't like the coach or the system for whatever reason even if that team is higher in the standings, and regresses.

Thread: Final push for playoff 2020

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DerpNation</b></div><div>So the final push is buying out Steve Mason and keeping the roster the exact same lol</div></div>

Steve Mason was already bought out and its automatic that he appears there. I think he's trying to show the lines he would use if them team is healthy. But even if all the injured players returned and did play on these lines, would it be enough?

Thread: Should Canadiens Fire Bergevin

He's amassed some interesting prospects, lots of draft picks in a deep draft, and large amounts of cap space to go into the summer BUT this HAS to be his last shot at rebuilding on the fly for a few years. If the team isn't obviously better by next season I think he should be done.

Thread: Stupid Y or N

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>you trade him if the price it right but overall i agree .

If Domi can land me a top 15 pick in the MTL draft and a top line LD or Center then i'm in .
If CHI showed up with the 15th OA and offered us Nick Beaudin

anything less may be fair but isnt worth giving up Domi as there's more value in establishing him then selling him before he goes UFA down the line</div></div>

Thats a reasonable return from Chicago. Right now the only thing the Habs have going for them is they are not really burdened for cap space this year or next even considering Price and Weber (maybe in 2021 but remains to be seen) so there should be no urgency to unload younger players like Domi unless the return is incredible.

Thread: (BUF/MTL) - Scandella for 2020 4th round pick (SJS)

Scandella is definitely better than Reilly, even if only marginally, and they clear a contract space for next season, plus get a home town player and they pick up a minors player for their injury-depleted AHL squad. Good asset management by Montreal so we can call it a win but this will barely have any real impact in their overall season however since they are all depth players and late round picks moving

Thread: NYR fans for the draft

Tough call, value is there but its not clear if one is better than the other, Habs might be better keeping Byfield in this case.

Thread: Another attempt at Lafreniere

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Detroit, Los Angeles, New Jersey, San Jose/Ottawa, Ottawa, and Chicago are almost certain to finish below you, and then there's Anaheim, Buffalo and Columbus, so it's hard to believe you'll fall much below 10.</div></div>

Except that here I have traded many useful players for scrubs and cap dumps, and buried promising prospects that doN't need waivers in the minors. With perhaps the exception of Detroit, all of these teams would become instantly better than the configuration of the Habs proposed here. Of course these are completely unlikely deals but its what it would take to get Lafreniere, a serious and deliberate implosion of the roster for the entire 2nd half of the season.

Thread: Another attempt at Lafreniere

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>I_Am_Atem</b></div><div>The only way to get Lafrenière is by winning the lottery, and the teams that will make those moves won't be lottery picks but teams making the playoffs, bubble teams won't make that gamble.

You won't be able to trade for a pick to get Lafrenière, remember in 2015, Bruins wanted to move their 3 1sts to Buffalo for 2nd overall, the gap between those picks is too big to make a move.</div></div>

You are probably right, but I am counting on, in this scenario, the Habs spiral down the standings and having a top-5 or even top 3 pick and another in the top 10 with the Rangers, so a little more possible even if they don't win first overall. But maybe they just get Byfield.

Habs will send you a 6th to outbid the Sabres for Bellemare's services.

Thread: What to do before Xmas

He's a good complementary scorer but I am think better to wait for Drouin to come back, who was playing his best hockey as a Hab when he got injured and would play the same spot in the lineup.

Maaaaybe Lehkonen. That might make sense, Armia is playing super well right now but more than that brings rare size that Montreal really lacks and would not be helped with the addition of Gourde.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>Don't think they would consider it. That contract is not good.</div></div>

Yup, maybe not even worth for even a 2023 7th.

Thread: Rebuild

Vlasic's contract is basically unmovable for meaningful assets because of its ridiculous length. His decline might be overstated but he is declining all the same and moreover his contract will have him being paid for 7 more full seasons, handcuffing whatever team acquires him for multiple seasons.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>What is that Vlasic trade? LMAO</div></div>

Take out Suzuki, Fleury, the 2nd and the Sharks retain a couple million and the Habs might consider it.

Thread: Rumored Offer for Hall

From the Panthers side, does having gone all in on Bobrovsky explain why they might feel pressure to spend now for short term gain?

Forum: Armchair-GMDec 14, 2019 at 4:19

Thread: Mark Staal

I think the Habs could take on Staal's contract and he could be an upgrade on Reilly but Habs shouldN,t have to send a pick. Marc Staal has given a lot of good years to the Rangers but his contract is now a liability so getting rid of it would be very valuable to the Rangers indeed. I think Marc Staal for Reilly and Rangers throw in a later pick and its a deal.

Thread: Hall to Carolina

Its an overpayment but the logic of Carolina making a push for Hall is good since their prospect pool is deep and they have an extra first (they should send their own though).

Thread: Hall is going to be a Yote

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>As said, no clue the return, but think he’s going there</div></div>

I agree they are the most likely landing spot, they have missed the playoffs year after year and have had time to hoard picks and prospects and its got them nowhere. This should be their year to spend. But I agree on the goalies thing, they should keep what they have. It will be their first, a roster winger (Dvorak? Fischer?), another pick, and maybe their best non NHL roster prospect other than Soderstrom. Thats for a rental, maybe it changes if they think they can also sign Hall ...

They should, after years of missing the playoffs, this is the one team that can,t really justify holding onto picks to build for the future at the expense of the present ...

Thread: Hall and Simmonds for Gaudreau and Lucic

The values not unreasonable but the only thing the Habs have going for them at all right now is cap space, so moving Alzner doesn't have to happen. Vatanan might be something the Habs would consider but would be a smaller return since NJ would not have to offer any cap dump. I am all for bottom feeders trying to leverage their cap space for assets so interesting trade idea with the Flames
