Thread: Dvorak Chicago native

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Snowhawk18</b></div><div>Why would anyone care that he is from Chicago? Dvorak is an overpaid, injured, underperforming 3rd liner, that along with an average at best back up goalie does not get you two 2nd round picks.

Since the Hawks don’t need either and would unnecessarily be adding cap they will require the Habs to send the along with Dvorak and DeSmith, not the other way around.

To think Montreal could command Dickinson and 2 x 2nd round picks for that duo is laughable.</div></div>

Players care about playing in their hometowns. This year Jeff Petry and Alex DeBrincat both Michigan native are happy to play for their home State. We all love Quebec and french Canadians playing with the Habs. Columbus has 4-5 former Jr Blue Jackets on their roster. Being surrounded by friends and family are a plus for the players and their families. I could go on and on but people care maybe you don't but some do.

Thread: Dvorak Chicago native

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Andy_Dick</b></div><div>Just dont think Chicago is the team to take him on. Teams like Vancouver, Boston make more sense.</div></div>

Probably but Chicago has the extra picks Boston and Vancouver doesn't.

Thread: Dvorak Chicago native

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mv21227</b></div><div>Picks are going the wrong way. Dvorak is an overpaid, mediocre 3C who has never put up 40 points and is a defensive liability</div></div>

He's better than Andrew Shaw who got picked up for two seconds.

Thread: Dvorak Chicago native

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Andy_Dick</b></div><div>Agreed Dvorak value is low right now. He will easily return something decent when he's healthy and a year less term. The Habs need Dvorak rn with Monahan injury concerns, Dach moving to the wing and a struggling Jake Evans. Dvorak is only 27, he wins draws and can matchup against other teams top lines in a pinch. Nothing close to what they originally paid with a 1st and 2nd but easily a 2nd plus.</div></div>

I don't think it's an overpayment Andrew Shaw got picked up for two second round picks. He's a decent veteran and a Chicago native.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DustinBrown1989</b></div><div>Not enough for Gibson</div></div>

Gibson had a 3.99 gaa one of the worst in the league but has some upside not much. He's a bad contract just like Gallagher.

Calgary doesn't have enough right shooting forwards. It's true they don't need DeSmith but if they call up Wolf DeSmith is good depth.

If I'd be a hockey or any athlete in that kind of situation. I'd take 3 plus millions over leagues minimum. Tarasenko did it in Ottawa, Ottawa are not contenders.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>Allen's worse than Murray though... he's no where near Gustafson and costs way more</div></div>

No Murray is better than Talbot and Allen but can't stay healthy. Talbot had similar cap hit as Allen at time of trade. Allen's numbers in St Louis we're the same as Talbot Murray a couple years back.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>canucksfan43</b></div><div>It was not a good trade for both teams lol. Gustavsson was arguably a top 5 goalie last year whereas Talbot was below average</div></div>

Gustavsson was 3.55 in Ottawa Talbot was 2.93 in Ottawa that's a plus for Ottawa. Gustavsson went from 3.55 to 2.10 that also paid off the Minnesota.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>But then he doesn't get to choose where he gets to go, which is what he wants to do in the first place</div></div>

Kent Hughes would make him go where he wants. Just like he did with Jeff Petry. If a guy like Kane can bring Caufield and Suzuki in the 70+ points that's a plus for the organization even if it's ¾ of a season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wojme</b></div><div>The Sabres aren't trading upl for Allen, that's for sure.</div></div>

Minnesota traded Talbot for Gustafson last season young goalie for experience goaltender. Same scenario as this one. It was a good trade for both teams.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>Why would Kane want to sign in MTL? Doesn't he want a chance at a cup this year?</div></div>

He can still get traded at the deadline and have a successful season plus get paid his worth.

Bouchard is worth more than 3.5 million. That's the cap space they have.

Habs can't offer sheet they don't have their own second round pick. Winnipeg has that pick.

I think Rangers would be better off with Patrick Kane than Lafrenière. I don't think they can fit both players under the cap.
