Thread: Back to the Finals
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>markmws</b></div><div>I think it's cool, though Suzuki will be in need of an extention next season and that man is going to get <em>payed</em> (The Hockey News thinks they should try to lock him up long-term as early as <em>this off-season</em> for $7-8 million per). Caufield will also be a wealth man by the season after. Romanov will need to be extended, as will Evans and Kotkaniemi. While those last three would not be as expensive, every dollar adds up. Locking in contracts for Duchene and Hamilton and Tarasenko sound nice now, but every dollar commited in a flat-cap world prevents certain transactions. I would just be nervous that they would not be able to sign the young talent because they made trades to sign talented, yet older, players. Though I could be convinced otherwise.

I think Bergevin is probably thinking the same thing (though he probably wants to somehow replace Weber, but on a more affordable deal. This is just me spitballing, but if Adam Larsson isn't signed by Edmonton, he would be a player I would be looking at if I were Bergevin.)</div></div>

With Chiarot / Kulak / Perry off the books, there's a way to sign Suzuki 8 x 8M. It's gonna be tight, but Bergevin showed that he's capable of manoeuvring in tight cap space scenario.
Gallagher contract is gonna hurt us in the long term though.

Thread: Next year Habs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ColonelX</b></div><div>Selling too low on Tatar. He's holding a .88 ppg this season, that would be a career high so if I sell him I'll sell high on him. I'll need a prospect added on there otherwise he stays here, especially if you retain over a million. Give me an Albin Eriksson, Riley Tufte or Jason Robertson with that late 1st rounder, they've got many imposing LW prospects which could be a need here especially after a Tatar trade we'd be down to Drouin, Lehk, Poehling and no top prospects to come.
I think you're selling a little low on Brooks but I don't see why Vancouver would decline even if they're a little short on LW prospects. They'd be getting a top 4 dman plus a B prospect dman that's almost NHL ready (Next season most likely) for a B prospect and a year away 2nd rounder. If you're adding Brooks I'd like to see a 1st coming back, keep some salary if needed but that year away 2nd would break that deal for me.

Seeing how many RW are coming in (In youy next year projections) I wouldn't go out and sign Fast. You don't wan't to bring two guys in the NHL and play them on their off side it'll mix them up from the start.. Ylönen is more likely to start in the AHL to acclimate to the NA size rink and Caufield also in the AHL to gain some XP before throwing him in (Even more likely Caufield stay another year in the NCAA to bulk).

The Weal trade is an intelligent way to get something interesting back!</div></div>

Would something like Tatar + 3rd for 1st + Dellandrea work?
