Thread: Random November trade

If Habs run into their typical injury woes by November, sure

Thread: TOR VAN

Habs obviously pass, zero need for Timmins. No need to trade Savard for anything but draft picks, especially with retention. Drop Timmins, add a first, Habs consider.

Thread: Habs

On a team like this, no specific need to trade Evans or anyone for just a 5th, at least not now, even if that player is just an injury insurance

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Zero chance Chicago entertains that. You want to move Petry at his full cap hit to Chicago, pay them.</div></div>

Habs won't since they have more than enough cap space for him (over 800 million according to this capfriendly team) if Chicago declines.

Fair return for Petry but without retention. This roster has plenty of cap space as it is

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>theleano1</b></div><div>Canucks don't have the cap space for DeSmith, probably can get a better goalie than DeSmith for a 4th as well.</div></div>

A lower pick than a 4th would be fine too, not sure about the cap implications for the Canucks however. DeSmith traded to any team for some draft pick not exceeding a 4th

Thread: Montreal Canadiens signed Jesse Ylönen (1 Year / $775,000 AAV)

The last RFA to sign, and for league minimum. He has enough raw tools to be a decent NHLer but hasn't played consistently enough to solidify his spot. This will be an important year for him to show that he can put it all together.

Thread: Arizona Coyotes signed Logan Cooley (3 Years / $4,450,000 AAV)

He'll be a prime trade piece for draft picks in 3 years when his ELC is up and the Coyotes embark on yet another rebuild

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>David_Desharnais_51</b></div><div>Can we just run Hoffman on the top line to show teams he still has it, bloat his numbers and see if it’s possible to get more for him?</div></div>

Hoffman has to cooperate and actually score semi-consistently for a change, but sure. The other alternative is most Habs forwards are injured by November, and Hoffman is by default a top 6 guy along with Suzuki and some AHL callups until the end of the year ...

Forum: Armchair-GMJul. 8, 2023 at 4:55 p.m.

Thread: Offseason Trade

Hoffman has (almost) no value. With 50% retention he could be dealt to a contender at the 2024 TDL, but the return will be minimal, like a long-shot prospect that needs a change of scenery, or a very late pick. Better than nothing mind you.

Thread: Hoffman on waivers

I don,t care about Hoffman except that he has been a relatively healthy body the last 2 years where many others have fallen. His value has been playing regular shifts while still helping us get two top-5 picks. I suspect he will play that role again this year

Thread: Well its a move not sure it makes it better

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>I agree.

Question is does Francis bite on this?</div></div>

Seattle had their nice playoff run, and I imagine that Francis appreciates what a vet like Brodie could bring. For a new franchise though, they are very light on young defensemen though, Brodie would be another 30+ defender and might be seen as a bit redundant with Dumoulin and Schultz. If Seattle was tanking for certain, they make this deal so they can flip Brodie with retention, but if they feel they can be a regular playoff team in the next few years, maybe they decline and hold onto a player they feel will fit their window like Borgen

Definitely the kind of deal they'll have to make for cap reasons.

If Hoffman couldn't be traded separately, he could be bought out without too much cap implications, especially if you can get rid of Mantha's conract at the same time. Reports are habs might buy out Hoffman if they can't trade him.

I am a Habs fan and think Devils should keep him, especially in a cap friendly scenario like this where the Devils have lots of cap space and have amassed a lot of picks and prospects over recent years, I don,t know what an extra 3rd would get them

I think you could probably sign Monahan for less ;). Why is Guhle benched for Forbort? Both Arizona and Boston would strongly decline those trades.

He'd only waive if he is being flipped immediately to a 3rd team with salary retention. But you are right that he would not accept a trade to MTL outright

Even though Armia and Hoffman are overpaid for what they bring, there is no urgency to spend assets to move them out. They can keep the benches warm until their contracts expire. Great cap management.

I would think everything in Chicago could be for sale except that 1st overall, but maybe without cap room issues and a potential superstar coming in, they try to keep what few effective vets they have?

Thread: Draft moves

Yikes, Drouin might do a bit better outside of Montreal pressure, but no team should be paying him that. Waaaayyyy too risky ... talented, but oft-injured, poor defensively and questionable work ethic. Sharks might be a good landing spot for him and if he can be more consistant in his effort in a new environment it might work out, but give him 2 years at 1.5 million or something

Or maybe Kevyn Adams has revealed his personal capfriendly handle? And that he roots for the Jets more than the Sabres?
