Next Season Leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DJP1117</b></div><div>So I appreciate the constructive conversation obviously everyone isnt 100% in tune with Values. I was more looking at 2 guys needing potentially a change of scenery.
So What makes me think Montreal needs a player like robertson... Ill try and back my theory up with my interpretation of facts.
Here is my thought process on the Habs side:
1. Montreal does have Caufield as top line LW which thats good cause Robertson isnt a top line player atleast rn anyways. The Habs are Very thin on the left side behind Caufeild. Their options are Gallagher which has had a very rough season and is not producing at a 2LW pace or even close. Same with their other potential option in Josh Anderson.
Montreal I believe is in the bottom 5 in Goals for on the season. and would benefit from some depth scoring as their scoring seems to come from Suzuki or Caufeild.
Even their Injuries of Dvorak and Dach dont help their thinness on the left side. Centre of RW.
2. Robertson can be had for VERY cheap with the potential of Huge upside given proper reps in the top 6. Something he could never get to in toronto for one reason or another wheter it be their depth or injuries. Robertson could be had for Sub 2M on a 2-3 year deal being as close as they are to the cap a top 6 winger making 2-3M would be a huge benfit.
Obviously those are my reasons for Montreal needing an offensive LW. Now that doesnt need to be robertson obviously any offensive LW would do.
I would be willing to add for Xhejak I just dont believe hes worth a Cowan or a Minten. Dont think hes on that level.
If the leafs could get a 2nd I would do a second and Robertson. However they dont have one. so I would be willing to do something like
Robertson, Niemela and a 3rd. or something like that. anymore then that id pass. by the sounds of it he has got better since coming back , i just dont know where his ceiling could be. hes already 23 YO. I dont see him ever being a top pairing D. I see him being a good 3-4 Dman on a good team max imo. for that reason I wouldnt give up a 1st plus or Minten and cowan like others are suggesting.</div></div>
I applaud your thought process and responses. However, I don't believe Xhekaj needs a change of scenery. Since his injury and stint in Laval, he's adjusted his game and improves each night. It's only his 2nd year in, where he's made great progress. Obviously he has stuff to work on, but the last few games it seems MSL has trusted him in various spots. His discipline is already improving and this "low hockey iq" rhetoric doesn't fit. He's going to make mistakes, he's young and only just north of 90 games in the NHL.
I do believe and agree that Roberston needs a change, due to having a loaded top 6 in front of him. As nice as it is to have that skill on your team, it could really stunt development since Matthews and co. aren't even close to the end of their prime years.

Montreal trades Savard
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jackaille</b></div><div>he is a good player that needs a new start, he has potential, a lot.</div></div>
IMO I think MTL has plenty of players that can fit the role he would eventually provide. Plus, you're moving Savard who would only be traded for a premium, or nothing at all (from what I've read). If the Habs aren't getting a good draft pick, then they'd target an A-/B+ prospect at the very least. Maybe if a 2nd and 3rd pick were included in this, but even that may not be worth it to Hughes, or the trading team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>LMAO, not for that return</div></div>
It's because Dufour is from Quebec, which <strong>clearly </strong> eliminates being a 5th rd pick and not even putting up a .50ppg in the A this year.

TDL Habs Take II
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Savard with retention is worth a late 1st, just cause the Flames sold low on Tanev doesn't mean Hughes will.
Taking Campbell's contract is at minimum worth 2 1sts since it's even worse than Anderson's since Anderson is still an NHL player but Campbell isn't even a 3rd string goalie.
A deal constructed around Savard with retention for Campbell looks more like this
Savard (retained) for Campbell + Edmonton's 2024 1st + Bourgault + Holloway
The 1st is for Savard Bourgault and Halloway are for taking Campbell</div></div>
So unretained it'd be Savard for a 2nd + Bourgault + Holloway?
I think EDM is going to have a hard time paying this to anyone, they might be tied with him for the rest of his contract. Obviously, EDM can't just trade us a pick since they'd be over the cap and have no one on LTIR to pull that shenanigans. I guess you could just do Retained Savard for a 1st + Holloway + a low-end roster player to make the cap work? Vincent Desharnais and let his contract expire?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>Avs decline. There is no way they can afford to retain on RyJo in a trade and Evans is too expensive for a 4C for the Avs going forward after this year. This effectively also makes him even more expensive and restricts the Avs further from making other moves they need to make that are more important.</div></div>
What do the Avs need? If it came down to it, they could trade Evans for picks after the season. I was more thinking win-now outlook. Although 4th line, he'd be a defensively reliable player, especially on the PK.

I should've added something extra for taking Campbell's contract. I don't think EDM would want to give up Holloway, so Lavoie I like. Still young and would mature with the other guys on MTL. As for Savard, the Tanev trade wigged me out, so lowered my value. There's no guarantee Hughes keeps him if it's not a 1st. As valuable as he is, I'm sure he'd like to get something good out of it in case he gets hurt or slower next season.

Would, minus the retainage. I think MTL has other retainage-worthy "assets" that would fetch more if playoff teams NEED them and they wouldn't want to tie up their last spot to Ylonen.

Desperation
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>We_know_nothing</b></div><div>This is a legit question, because I truly don't understand. What is with Montreal fans' obsession of Xhekaj? I've seen him play about half dozen times, and other than being a beast, I don't see anything special there. He's a projected third pairing defensemen who is tough. Do people think he's going to develop the same way that Dustin Byfuglien did? What am I missing?</div></div>
To answer your legit question, as noted, he provides the toughness and beastliness that's been missing. That said, it looks like his confidence has dropped a bit this year, but he still is good at getting shots through and transitioning the puck well, via breakouts or neutral zone transitions. He definitely lacks speed and his positioning needs some work as I feel he chases the play too much and seems to focus too much on where he is now vs where he should be next, which allows for plays against him to unfold. I love him as I think there's room to grow, but with the possible talent in the pipeline, he needs to REALLY improve these downfalls. I think what you'll find with us fans is that it's exciting to have that grit on the team. It's a part of hockey that many enjoy and the next toughest guys are Pezzetta and Anderson.

JAnderson is not playing with 2 of the best players in the league, nor is he on 1st line PP with them, but has more points (not by much, but still). Unsure if he would produce more, worse or equivalent to Pul, but probably worth the risk. I'd say the 1-for-1 aspect would be an improvement.

Mike Johnson Suggests this Trade
I think this would just cause all sort of problems. Feel like a large purpose of trading Gally is to get that 6.5m off the books and either get someone with less term and less costly than 11.5m. Plus they have a solid D prospect pool, so this trade would just stunt their growth (especially if Edmundson, Savard, and Matheson remain in the line-up). IF this trade went through, someone would need to take control of Hoffman's wife's social media and text messaging.

Killing the future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dr_Invictus</b></div><div>None of the NHL "insiders" said Josh Anderson is valued at a 1st and a high prospect, and even if they did, it doesn't change the cap reality. If Calgary traded for him, then they would have to shed his 5.5M salary, at minimum, next year. Trading Lucic means nothing because his cap hit is fully absorbed by weegar and Huberdeau's extensions. These are basic facts, not opinions from Twitter. Anderson's stats are facts, not opinions. His age is a fact, not an opinion. So if your "insiders" are choosing to ignore that, then you need to question the value of that opinion. Moreover, no reputable insider has recently stated that Anderson is valued as high as so many Habs fans are desperate to have him valued.</div></div>
I think everyone just gets too caught up in "points". If he was a leading goal-scorer, he'd be making what Suzuki makes. It's funny when those who don't watch all the games try to analyze someone else's games. Analytics are great and all, but they don't tell the whole story. What people tend to miss with Anderson is that he is a valuable asset being a fast power-forward who can put up decent points for being rotated through 2nd & 3rd line. Not only that, he creates turnovers and creates plenty of opportunities. For example, the analytics don't tell if his linemates are in the right places to convert from the opportunities. He's not a bad player at all and I agree with being paid like 1m over, but other than that, he proves his worth. Everyone just assumes that if you're not lighting it up, then you're not good. That's absurd because everyone has their play-style and roles on the team. To say you'd rather have Lucic over Anderson...come on now, talk about age (when 28 isn't even that old). I think what the other person is saying is that Anderson does have value and GM's would want someone like him, a 1st? Not sure, but something decent in return would come back. I don't watch Flames games, so I don't comment on who's ass and not ass because they can play an important role that I don't see on NHL Network's highlight reels.
As for help on this to the creator, I think there are too many pieces in the trade. Can probably get away with a decent prospect with a 2nd & 3rd

Unfortunately you are right. These guys would cost too much to perform similar or worse than many of the FAs. I don't think anything is going to happen until the trade deadline because of this (not Hughes' fault), we'd be lucky to move one of them for a late 2nd or early 3rd. Next year Allen, Drouin, Byron and Dadonov will be UFAs (~$16m in cap space) and I'd hope the Habs don't re-sign them.
