Thread: Season doesn't resume, no lottery

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>Taking Best Available out and just going position based... Doesn't MTL already have a ton of center prospects? Suzuki, Poehling, Jesperi… Wouldn't they be better served getting a sizable winger to fit with these center prospects....and possible Caufield opposite?</div></div>

I think this year Habs should take the player with the best offensive upside, so Perfetti. Lundell will be an NHLer but maybe more of a 2-way forward with an offensive ceiling. But either would not be terrible picks

Thread: Draft Trade UFA hold overs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Since the Hall trade New jersey has played above 500 and if were like that all season would currently be a playoff team. So this may be their last chance for a while of a really good pick. They aren't in need of centers so Domi is redundant (yes i know he can play wing, anyone can). This is a stacked draft year and next year is not, giving away a top 10 (probably top 5) pick for 2 mid 2nds and a mid 1st in a weak draft is illogical.</div></div>

Regardless, it will be really interesting to see what happens to the NHL season and where teams will actually draft when June comes around! Detroit is way out in front in the Lafrensiere sweepstakes but teams that could draft basically 2-10th were all really close in (the bottom) of the standings and a few more games might have scrambled where they were all positioned. The NHL is going to have to make some hard decisions.

Byfield + Tkachuk will make Ottawa a team to watch for sure for years to come, as long as their owner agrees to sign them and then keep the contracts.

Thread: Next season your thoughts

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Both of these trades are bad for Montreal.</div></div>

Yes, whoever they draft with a 3rd and 4th pick are unlikely to even develop even into what Lehkonen and Armia are today, so why bother. Also, too much for Gardiner. Take Evans and Ylonen out, Carolina will be looking to shed his salary I would think so be aggressive in acquiring him

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffW</b></div><div>Would MTL fans consider KK a bust, or just having a big softmore slump?</div></div>

Looking at him, his body is not yet fully formed so its hard to tell - he's tall but not heavy, kinda stringy-looking actually. He should fill out in the next few years and then we'll know for sure. At the very least, there doesn't seem to be any reports that he is sulking or uncoachable or a bad teammate so that is a good sign

Value-wise, maybe, but every team wants to compete so why help a rival out of their cap problems for basically free? It does then Sens no good to get the Rangers into excellent shape without good return

Thread: Trade with Blues at the Draft

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>suburbanrobot</b></div><div>You picked a couple of guys I think the Blues could/want to move but the players don't make much sense. Blues definitely don't have need of another developmental goaltender. I don't know much about Vejdemo but he's 24 and looks like he has almost no NHL experience -- probably a career AHL guy. The draft picks make sense.

I'd rather see the MTL original 2nd and 3rd rounders and a guy like Struble or Fleury.</div></div>

Fair enough, I think Lindgren could be of interest merely as a very cheap 3rd/4th string goalie with a bit of NHL experience in the event of injuries since they are moving Allen out, Vejdemo is a throw-in long shot prospect but he's not critical to the deal at all. Struble is just a mystery right now so I hesitate to put him any deal, he has a very high ceiling with a lot of question marks.

Thread: IMO how to keep Pietrangelo

Maybe Habs take both players for a return of St Louis' own 2nd and a 4th. Habs need an above average backup goaltender and defensive depth.

Thread: (VGK/MTL) - 2021 4th round pick for Cousins

The problem with this trade isn' the return, its the necessity. Habs have some injuries and open contract spots, they could have just kept Cousins as a warm body in the NHL this year to let their AHL guys develop properly, an traded Cousins at the draft for a similar return.

I would expect maybe only acquiring some AHL help for a 6th or 7th or a cap dump from some other team

Even then they would only need to move Condon in order to clear cap space for something else.

Aren't Tampa at the contract limit already even before Goodrow?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeytor15</b></div><div>Montreals pick is gonna be at the end. Washingtons pick will be from 18 - 32. Your moving up so much
Washington rejects easily for a player anyone could have got</div></div>

Remember also that with Kovalchuk traded, the Habs will lose even more frequently than now, and their pick will be almost certainly like 36-37. Kovalchuk is also the one forward that the Caps could acquire that doesn't require any cap adjustments or sending roster players back ... its a calculated risk, but Caps are in a position to win right now, they may have to make a bold move in order to get an edge on the opposition. If they win the cup, its only about 5 spots in the draft they would change.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeytor15</b></div><div>Caps reject that offer instantly. Not gonna give up a first for a guy I could have got</div></div>

Could have, but didn't. Kovalchuk has played well since joining the Habs and could fit in well with the Caps, but more importantly as I said in the trade details, since the habs send their own high 2nd, it could be no more than 7-8 spots difference in the draft.

Thread: busy few days coming adios Domi Kovy and Alzner

No need to trade away picks to get rid of Alzner, we have plenty of unused cap space and lots of injuries on defence. habs should be leveraging that cap space by having other teams send us their junk + picks right now much as you have Jersey doing here

Habs might trade Lehkonen to Colorado but not for Jost, we need defensive prospects and/or draft picks.

Thread: What to do

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GO_HABS_GO28</b></div><div>Waked is not that good</div></div>

Which is why I am trading him away ... for Condon, who is worse. The only reason such a trade is made is because Tampa are a legit contender, with some cap deadweight. Condon is buried but is 1.3 million on their cap this year, this gives them some flexibility to bring in a better depth player. Habs get a 4th but is basically a late 3rd for this service. Condon comes off the books in July

Thread: TDL Training camp starts early

I'd keep Weal as a place holder so that some of the kids can play in the AHL and make the playoffs, although even the AHL squad is underperforming.
