Thread: A little bit of shopping a little bit of trading
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habs_need_Scoring</b></div><div>Primeau the best goalie prospect we have had since price (not as good as price of course but still) Guhle projects top 2 dman, Ylonen, Mysak Tuch Farrell all decent prospect assuming probably two never reach their potential so lets say only ylonen and tuch do, they're middle 6 guys, for Hertl whose broken 50 points once in his career, twice if you wanna factor in the production pace he was on.

Why not keep KK, sign saad as your winger and keep all those prospects, i view that as a better team then selling to farm to add to foward that do nothing to push the needle. If you wanna sell the farm go after eichel or someone that will actually make a difference. I'm fully on board with pushing for another cup run but this team above struggle to makes the playoffs still so why bother selling off so many assets.</div></div>

Food for thought

I forgot to add. You can argue that Hertl was on pace for 70pts the last 2 yrs. And the reason why he didn't sniff that up until 3 yrs ago, is cause he was behind on the C depth chart for many yrs. Pavelski, Thornton, Couture and Marleau were c*** blocking him. Eichel IMO might be an 80-90 pt guy but I think that Hertl is more complete. He plays top PP and PK units. Also if I can have him at 7.5× 6 yrs, I'll sleep well at night. I can't have Eichel at 10 mill and Suzuki 8mill. It'll be crippling the process of building around them. Obviously I believe the team above is better than our previous edition, so naturally I have to also believe they'll make the playoffs.

Cause I need to give a reason for Ovechkin to sign here. And he won't sign if he sniffs "rebuild". And if Ovechkin signs and we go on a deep playoff run with him, then MTL will remain on top of the destination list of UFAs. Therefore if MTL remains appealing for UFAs, we won't have to solely rely on good drafting and developing like we've always done. I'm eyeing Patty Kane from now, i want him here in 2 yrs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habs_need_Scoring</b></div><div>that hertl deal is a little ridiculous, not too mention extremely unnecessary, habs come out of that deal a much worse team, keep KK and sign a winger instead and keep all those assets including the top goalie prospect in our system.</div></div>

The team is worse??? I can't disagree more. Clearly in my world the team above is WORST CASE as good as it was before the acquisitions and only cause Price isn't there. If for the next 3-6 yrs our C depth consists of Suzuki, Hertl, Krejci and Poehling... IMO we're solid. I didn't give up any picks so we have time to replenish the prospects cupboard and probably have developed a couple in time to replace Toffoli and the yr after Ovechkin. I got a taste of a cup run and I don't want to wait long to do it again.

Thread: UFA frenzy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WhoCares_ItsAFantasyGame</b></div><div>Crazy to think Ovechkin and Landeskog would sign at those rates outside of their own teams. But that would be crazy to see in Habs shirts..

Don't know how Caps will sign OVY at the 9M$ range since they have nothing after that; But I figure they'll find something since he expressed that he wishes to end his career in Washington, then play for his old team in the KHL before he retires. So he may have one or two years left in the NHL.

Landeskog would want 8M$+ if he's to sign somehwere else than AVS. Under that I think he'll stay in Colorado at a huge discount.

Would also be surprised to see Krejci sign in MTL.. You know.. the hate between the two teams.. LOL!

And I'd go for Getzlaf instead of Thornton in order to bring back the Getz-Perry line run for the cup. Just my opinion.

Still.. if those players would sign at those prices.. It would be crazy to see ..</div></div>

Ya you're right just looked it up. Good riddance in Russia Sasha. I'll go after Hall instead

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>The only deal here that MTL would do is the Calgary deal but even that is only if Danault doesnt resign. The rest are overpays, other the Vancouver but Gally will be the next captian after Weber so they still decline</div></div>

If you don't think the team I put together isn't better than what we had in the playoff run, then our assessments of talent and needs are very different. Every move I did is to improve our chances of winning a cup while Price can play at the current level. Ya perhaps on paper I over payed but most of those contracts are long enough to buy us time to replenish the prospect cupboard. Just to make it clear the Hertl deal is only going through if he immidiately agrees (behind closed doors) to resign with us.
