Thread: Are they better Off
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Poehling</b></div><div>It’s been reported MTL received several serious offer for Anderson last year at the TDL but Kent Hughes like the player and want to keep him. So you can’t say ‘’if a team would want him (IF lol) they wouldn’t offer much’’ … like bro come on. MTL fans aren’t saying he’s a great player, we are saying it would take a lot to move him because we love the player even if he’s bad defensively &amp; injured prone</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jake4leafs</b></div><div>Your love for a player has no impact on his value to GMs. Dude makes 5.5M until 26-27, scored 20 goals once and is very often hurt. That says all you need to know</div></div>

Exactly this. I don't think Josh Anderson is a great hockey player. He is good, and his highly servicable, but is vastly overpaid (especially in a flat cap world).

Doesn't mean a team won't give up a pile for him. Plenty of teams overpay for meh players if they think it can help them win.

Ben Chiarot got a first, fourth, and a prospect. He isn't a great hockey player. Look at the Jones trade - we all thought Duncan Keith was washed and overpaid - EDM gave up good assets for him. Nick Foligno got a first at the deadline. Christian Dvorak went for a first and a second. Jonathan Drouin got a top prospect and a conditional pick, Brandon Hagel went for a two firsts and two young roster players. Rasmus Ristolainen got a first and a second - it doesn't matter if the player is overpaid, or overrated - it a GM thinks he can help the team win, they overpay all the time

Thread: Buffalo fans what is your line up for tonight game - Here is our line up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Poehling</b></div><div>Warm and Vrbetic were atrocious, Vrbetic the worse. Norlinder Harris were MTL best players and Rosen Weissbach caught my attention. Slafkovsky was really good or very bad, trying to do too much to impress. Both MTL dwarfs Simoneau (43) and Tourigny (57) were horsepiss as well. And thanks for your comment above, I had Capfriendly open to help me with players numbers lmao</div></div> Thank you for your assessment.
I guess I chose not to comment on the GK as Joe Vrbetic was drafted only last year and Beck Warm is a career AHL GK, but you are correct.
<a href="/users/F50marco" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@F50marco</a> is correct "Can't wait to see them play tonight!"
Buffalo is very fortunate to be able to host this event.
I spoke to some scouts (Rangers, Krakens, Devils) as we were leaving, but they would not offer their perspective.

Thread: Tanking for Bedard or Fantilli
One thing to keep in mind is that if MTL maintain status quo, they will be a better team than they were last year. Habs led the league last year in "man games" lost due to injuries. Logically, just having a healthier roster will have the Habs finishing higher in the standings....

If you really want to tank... Jake Allen NEEDS to go, Price will also need to go back on LTIR, and guys like Armia, Hoffman, Drouin, and Dvorak all need to be shipped out ASAP (if any one of them has a bounce back season and puts up good numbers, that will mean more wins).

Not to mention you still want the young core to continue to get better (Suzuki, Caufield, Slafkovsky, Harris, Guhle, Barron, etc.) Anyone of them steps up their game (which we want).....means more wins


So MTL could get a perfect storm of a healthy roster, bounce back years from Vets, and the current youth core continuing to improve....Habs could be right back to being a middle of the pack team...

High chance Price is done tbh, S. White said he would be ready but, he also said the same thing last year, and how many games did Price play last year?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Poehling</b></div><div>Roy was an healthy scratch in the AHL playoffs but might be NHL ready ? He will play another year in the Q, after he will start in the AHL for probably 1-2 seasons at least
Mesar was drafted were Poehling was drafted, and look at Poehling now. He was 22 yo and still didnt have a spot on the top 9 so no reason that Mesar would be top 9 ready at 20 yo

2028-2029 is more likely, Gulhe-Barron will be 25ish yo, Suzuki and Caufield Dach are going to be in their prime with Slafkovsky and hopefully a top 5 pick in 2023. One of Farrell Roy Mesar should hit, hopefully. Heineman Ylonen Beck could be solid bottom sixers
We are far away to be good with Gallagher and Armia anchor contract and we need defense badly
I hope Primeau turns out good too</div></div>

I feel that both might be top 9 by 2024-2025, Mesar, unlike Poehling, is used to playing against men, Roy, might start in laval when eligible but if he's clearly dominating the ahl, he's most likely going to end up in the nhl. the top 3 in the 2023 draft are most likely ready due to the fact that they are generational, but michkov is in russia til 2026 i think, but fantilli has the frame to be nhl ready. Farell is probably the odd man out, but im pretty sure that by then two of roy-farell-mesar are going to be ready.
