Thread: Rossi and who I would draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Go to puckpedia, use their pick value calc for 5th and click "find fair trade" it will tell you that 5 = 18th + 19th but that is about 10 points low so to even it up you have to hit find next fair trade. It will then add pick 35 and balance the trade points. After that go search 2022 nhl redraft and see where the analysts rank Beck (elite prospects ranked him 23rd in June of 2023, and the athletic ranked him 29th in October of 2023) given that his stock has risen even since then, he is absolutely worth about 18th-20th now. These aren't "Habs fans delusions" these are based off actual analysts that scouted and kept tract of these prospects since the draft and a calculator on one of the most well respected hockey sites on the planet. You my friend are the biased "delusional" one since you are basing your response solely on your own opinion.</div></div>

He shoots, he scores !

Thread: Lindholm as a UFA target
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfkst1</b></div><div>I said many times last year that Conroy should have been fired on the spot for offering Lindholm close to $70m on the extension. Lindholm is a nice player. Maybe at his peak a low end 1C. He was never elite and his game is extremely physical so any age decline- like we might be seeing right now- and he will collapse. Much like most forwards with that type of game. He's been an average 3C this season, but someone will give him term if he wants it. Guessing at minimum he can get five years and $25m. But I stand by if he signed a short term deal, he's taking a prohibitive NTC or full NMC that will potentially eliminate most trade options.</div></div>

I also think that’s pretty much what he can get on the market this summer. So, if I were him, I’d bet on myself and take the 7.5M$ short term deal and maybe be able to sign a better long term deal than 5x5 after that

Thread: Blockbuster with BUF
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Joblow</b></div><div>Don’t get me wrong, i like Mittlestadt but he isn’t a top tier forward. He would be a nice addition to Mtl roster that for sure but not at the cost of a futur top righthanded defenseman. Buffalo didn’t even received a prospect of that caliber in the Eichel trade.

A late first and Logan Mailloux or Justin Barron would be much more a return to expect. Historically if you look at similar profile player in a similar position then Mittlestadt this is the return. Fiala deal is probably a great start to what the return would look like.
At the time of the trade Faber was a good prospect but he wasn’t a high profile prospect with the 19th overall pick. I think that this is what to expect in a trade for Mittlestadt.
As for Reinbacher, 5th overall pick aren’t traded a year after being traded. Unless you are talking about the top tier players.</div></div>

Very valid points here.

It’s funny you mention the Eichel trade as I did look into it before making this trade. Although he didn’t pan out, Krebs was ranked as a top-20 prospect in the league at the time and Tuch was a young top-6 power forward (plus 2 picks).
Here, for a lesser player in Mitts, the cost is virtually a top-30 prospect (since we could say Savard gets Krebs 1 vs 1).

I’d love it if the price was Barron and WPG’s first, but I’d be surprised to see BUF say yes to that (if they do, be my guest, I’d do it in a heartbeat).

Thread: Blockbuster with BUF
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>Habs turned down better offers than this for Reinbacher, turned down Michkov, turned down 13th overall 22nd overall and Askarov AND turned down Cutter Gauthier for Reinbacher.

So this isn't particularly close to what they would be willing to accept</div></div>

The goal here is to find fair value in a trade. At the end of the day, you are right, GMs personal preferences can come into play, but who knows what really is in both GMs mind at any given time..

Players value fluctuate over time. I’m pretty sure NSH doesn’t make that offer today. As for Gauthier, it’s still and will always be a rumor…I think most experts would say Gauthier has a higher ceiling than Reinbacher.

The reason that triggered me to propose this trade is the recent rankings made by a few « experts ». Wheeler has Reinbacher at 25. Hockeywriters have him at 19. Stephane Leroux at 33. And so on..
