Thread: Montreal Canadiens signed Christian Folin (1 Year / $800,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>Weber, Petry, Juulsen, Folin
Mete, Reilly, Kulak
Alzner, Brook, Fleury for emergencies

Letting Benn go? No point keeping him for depth with the options we have for the 3rd pairing. Only problem with our D is the lack of a legitimate top 4 LHD, and that isn't Benn.</div></div>

Don't think Mtl wants back Reilly back and don't think he wants to come back. Pretty sur he will be traded in a package deal or a minor trade. In the best world mtl will sign a top 4 offensive left handed D and you still have Mete en Kulak. Benn would be a got extra to have but im pretty sur after this season someone will over pay him and he will leave. Folin or Juulsen will problebly be the extra D.

And I know a guy like Gardiner will be overpaid but I prefer mtl overpay then keep the all that cap room again for a third year in a row.

Thread: Habs 2019-2020
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jah1722</b></div><div>I forgot that trading23 year old 50 point guys making 5.5M is the way to get better.</div></div>

Well honestly, of all the highest salary he's the one that doesnt fit the system. Domi and him are skills players but domi has much more heart and intensity. So keeping both is not the best idea. Also keeping the same team is not a better idea since we might not even make the playoff. Puljujarvi could explode in mtl with kotkaniemi if not, any of our top rookies can take the spot. Signing duchene gives us an elite player that we could not afford without this deal. Any other way to get rid of so many contracts is by giving prospects and/or draft picks. I prefer keeping those, adding an other 2nd round draft pis, signing Duchene, putting domi on the wing, getting a top prospect (4th overall) by sacrificing Drouin. So its not juste the trade itself, its everything that will happen after.

Thread: Big contract move and using our cap room
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>Kesler, just like Perry, has a NMC. Why would he waive to leave SoCal for Montreal? No to mention, buying him out would cost less than taking Alzner, then you add in Marleau (who also has a NMC of his own).</div></div>

First Marleau has only 1 year so after the first year, without the buying out anyone, alzner contract is cheaper then Kesler. Marleau would only accepte the first trade to mtl because the Gm would garrenty he would be moved again out west if possible. Kesler would accepte because I do believe he will think he will have a better chance to win with mtl then Ana.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jay27</b></div><div>Marleau has a full nmc and went to TOR to win. If the Leafs clear cap it won't be by moving Marleau.</div></div>
Toronto wont give him a choice. They knew all along the third year would be to much but they wanted him for the first 2 year. So it will either be buy out or trade and if mtl can promise him he will be moved out west after the trade, I think he would accept.

Thread: Habs major trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Ultimate_Pielord</b></div><div>Like the desire to acquire O'Reilly and the faith in Lehkonen. I do have some issues with this team though.
1. The good points about Lehkonen indicate he has a large amount of ACTUAL value, however his poor boxcar numbers will suppress his PERCEIVED value. Pierre Dorion, who believed the Sens were contenders after they lucked their way to a conference final, will be operating off of the latter. Hence, trading Lehkonen to OTT will not be a good call.
2. Riddler and Seinfeld are right that that's a nasty trade for BUF. O'Reilly's really good. That said, the Karlsson deal's an overpay given that he's a pending UFA. Add MTL's 2018 first and Byron to the Sabres trade and keep Lehkonen to fill the hole Byron leaves.
3. Get Bobby Ryan out of the top-six. He's a 4th liner who is monstrously overpaid.
4. Plekanec probably costs $3 million, but he's a solid middle-six centre.
5. Dmen's effectiveness is significantly reduced when playing their off sides (For RHDs like Karlsson, the off side is LD) in most cases. Read: Trade for Klefbom instead.</div></div>

Thx for sharing you opinion on this post!! But I believe adding the third overall pick and byron plus pacioretty is a major over pay for O'reilly. Also ottawa would never accept the the trade with out lekhnonen, they will get many other better offers. Also I do believe Ryan COULD bounce back with a new team and become at least a 20 + goal scorer. So I would give him a chance on the second line before finishing him up on the fourth line.
