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?

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

Thread: Nov 27th OUTCHHHH quick remodeling

Hudon for Scandella is the most likely as both players could use a change of scenery and most GMs are risk averse and would prefer to only tinker at the edges of their rosters most of the time. All of these are at least in the realm of being fair

Thread: Lets say Price ask for a trade

Price was awful tonight and has had a few bad games but why specifically would he ask for a trade right now? The D in front of him for the last several games has been pretty awful but he's played behind some awful D in Montreal at many points during his tenure. Maybe there is a reason, I just don't know why

Thread: Trade with the Wild

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMs</b></div><div>Sign Koivu next year, don’t waste a 2020 2nd rd pick</div></div>

I don't know if I'd want to sign Koivu when he is yet a whole year older with another season on wear & tear on his body, I think his value is this year as a mentor, as an injury stop-gap, as a warm body to keep younger players like Poehling in the AHL to develop fully, as a good influence on Kotkaniemi, and a veteran with size and good defensive awareness to help out the PK to get us into the playoffs etc. My preference would be to grab him for a 2021 6th but not sure Minny would bite :p

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>A 2nd round pick isn't the right price.</div></div>

Well, I'd be thrilled to get him for a 3rd, or a 3rd & a 4th. Maybe Minny doesn't accept that. Maybe Ikonen and a 3rd, even better.

Thread: They call them the collective cup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>Montreal doesn't want your AHL level defensemen</div></div>

Montreal might want that 2020 1st though (which could be top 5 or even 1st overall) so Parise, Greenway, and Minny's 2020 1st OA (not protected) for Riley Barber and a 5th to outbid Ottawa ...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>Not sure if Broberg is worth taking on 2 bad contracts and giving up a PPG winger on a good contract + a speedy 3rd line winger.</div></div>

in this case, Manning would only be with the Habs till the end of the year, so no big deal there. Still a great deal for the Oilers, they would have to send a 2nd or a 3rd back as well.

Thread: Scandella

Might be a bit of an overpay even, Scandella seems to be playing better this year than last though ... I think he's only marginally better than Kulak - so counter offer that Buffalo gets a younger and cheaper 3rd pairing D-man signed for 2 more seasons, Habs toss in a 4th to make up for the slight talent gap but no more since the Scandella is older and a UFA

I have seen speculated on other capfriendly exchanges that one of the problems with Poolparty, regardless of his potential, was that he didn,t understand enough English to playwell in North America. I have no idea if this is true or just gossip though. habs and a few other teams like the Canes have several Finnish players already that might help him integrate if he were ever traded.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>You're the one that came calling, not Holland. The demand is there.</div></div>

The demand is there at the price being offered here, but probably not for more. I don't blame Holland and the Oilers at all for playing hardball but I doubt he'll get them a 1st, just too many risks for the other side.

Thread: Best solution

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>If YOU are worried, why are you trying to get him?

You are offering a 2nd, a 7th Dman and 13th foward (healty scratches on an average team) , aka crap

for

a 4th overall, 21 yo power foward with 11 goals and 9 assists in 18 games in Finland top league.

You sound like someone shopping for a car trying to underline negative points to get a discount. It's not going to work with an experienced GM.

EDM is asking for a first round pick or a young offensive winger. Offer anything under that value and they will hung up on you and keep the asset.</div></div>

I am not offering anything as this is someone else's post, but the 21 yo power forward and former top 5 pick was outscored last year by Brett Kulak who is not even that good, despite his getting a chance to play with McDavid. His physical attributes are impressive but there are significant questions about what is between his ears and his capacity to learn English well enough to be competitive outside of Finland so I don,t think any team will part with a first or a slam dunk prospect.

I think I was referring to the 2nd round pick ... and for what its worth both Kulak and Weal performed better last season than Poolparty, which is not to say they are great players but more than Poolparty severely under-performed in a worrying way

Thread: Best solution

Huge overpayment for Poolparty who has proved nothing in the NHL despite his draft pedigree. plenty of cap space to keep Alzner buried and more importantly keep Lehkonen even if the plan is to have him as a 13th forward.
