Thread: Offer sheet fixer upper please dont blow it up MTL

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nilees24</b></div><div>Hmm. Should it all fall apart next year, there's a long list of UFAs to consider. For me it's Danualt (7yr 42mil) & Gallagher (7yr 49mil) as the only UFAs to consider long term. I'd depart with all other UFAs (Petry, Tatar, Weal). Perhaps fetch a good price at Trade deadline 2021. As for Armia, it would be a fair offer to keep him (4 yr 16 mill) but he could fetch more in free agency so its a no sadly. For me, all RFA's are resigned (except maybe Lehkonen in a trade for an early round pick).</div></div>

Thread: Offer sheet fixer upper please dont blow it up MTL

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nilees24</b></div><div>HAHA I'm certain the cap will go up slightly over 81,500,000 next year. As for Ducks deal, I suppose to make up for the picks lost as compensation to CLB in 2021. As for Dubois' offer sheet, CBJ will struggle to match especially if its front loaded for salary. CLB has too much rolled up in contracts next year and there priority is resigning a goaltender.

Dubois is tremendous, I'd be willing to overpay to make the playoffs next year. MB isn't shy on these offer sheets.</div></div>
The cap concerns aren't a joke. How do you plan to resign Petry, Danault, Gallagher, Tatar, Armia, Lehkonen, KK, Poehling, Fleury? Assuming the last four don't get much of a raise (underperform in 2020-21), and Tatar is let go, you still don't have any cap left for Petry, Danault, Gallagher. And that's the best case scenario. IDK this doesn't make sense to me, not for PLD, as much as I think he's a great fringe 1C to have.

Thread: Offer sheet fixer upper please dont blow it up MTL

I understand that you have to overpay to succeed in an offer sheet, but this is a bit over the top, no? It would cripple us for ever subsequent season. Also if you factor in the $625K you want to retain on Alzner (but forgot to do within the Capfriendly system, cool feature), you're over the cap here.

Also why the Ducks trade? lol

Thread: did someone call lord stanley with 4 pairings

I never understood Carolina's longstanding obsession with defensemen... It's awesome to see, but I haven't ever seen this type of defense core winning the cup. Always been an interesting team to follow, and I wish you guys the best, but I have my doubts.

We need top end wingers so our bottom 6 players play bottom 6. Our Right D is perfect and that is why we are in the position we are in today. Our left D have been not as good, Nurse makes tons of mistakes and Klefbomb is injured often. Please watch the oilers once before you make things up.</div></div>
I genuinely don't think either one is sustainable, but I guess time will tell. Either way, I don't care, I'll root for another Canadian team any day of the week, so whatever works works, for however long.

Thread: A winger for McDavid MTL

Serious underpay, and Montreal hadn't been interested in JP thus far, so I don't see how it makes sense to make him the central piece of this trade. Either Domi goes for a key prospect, or he goes for a good LD (ex: Nurse, if he were RFA controlled, but he's not--or Bear+). I don't see why Domi would go for any other reason. We have no reason to trade him, especially not for a prospect with big but very questionable upside, a career 4th liner, and a 2nd. We need more certainty than that.

Also if you don't intend on resigning RFA-controlled Domi, then it doesn't make sense to trade for him. Grab a UFA rental, so you can get away with underpaying.

I always wondered, why is it implied that DET is shopping Athanasiou? Seems like the kind of guy they'd need to keep, no?

Also, Edmonton's bottom-6 and whole RD side really needs a revamp. Oof.

Thread: My Ideal Habs Deadline

Colorado GM Joe Sakic literally just said that Timmins, Newhook, Byram are all untouchable. So that first deal can't happen.
As for the Carolina deal, their offer was Bean + 1st, so adding a 2nd and replacing Bean with Fleury is probably also be unrealistic.

I understand the basis for the other two, cheers!

Thread: Lets make some moves

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kedogs00</b></div><div>A Risto Domi deal is more realistic I think. I just eprsonally don't wanna see Risto go. He's the only physical player we have. He has been pretty darn consistent all year and I feel like he's finally coming into his own.

I understand, though I'm sure you can understand why the Habs wouldn't want to let go of a legit top-6 forward so easily either, right? Blockbuster deals have to somewhat sting on both sides and cause controversy. Big name for big name.

Anyway, cheers, and have a happy end of season!

Thread: Tomas Tatar trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EzioUchiha</b></div><div>let's say
Islanders get:
-Tatar 2M retention

Canadiens get:
-Bode Wilde
-2020 1st round pick (no condition pick even with contract extension due to the fact that 2020 draft class is so deep)</div></div>
Regardless of what others say, I would be happy with this. People forget that in the real world, if you get greedy and hold out, you might not end up selling at all. Even if Coleman got more, that's because one specific team REALLY wanted Coleman. And guess what? Now there are less buyers available, so you have to work with what's left.

Thread: Tomas Tatar trade

I think a Tatar trade with the Isles, if there is one, would involve a 2020 1st + Wilde.
The resign condition was a nice touch though

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kedogs00</b></div><div>It may not, but could be a starting point, maybe upgrade a prospect, or change a 4th to a 2nd-3rd</div></div>
I feel like if Habs are trading Domi, they need an asset of similar quality back, rather than a quantity of interesting but notably inferior assets.
I'd always envisioned a trade surrounding Domi and Ristoleinen, hoping to capitalize on the tension around Risto this season.

I feel like the Habs could take on his full unretained cap hit (buried at $4.925M) for a 1st rounder.

Thread: MTL Curious

It's a controversial topic among Habs fans, as many feel that he shouldn't be traded and should remain part of the core. No clue what MB thinks though.

Either way, we'd need a good young D who is currently top-4 or a prospect D with top-2 potential. I don't think trading him for picks makes sense for even some in the "trade Domi" camp.

go to a game once in a while and you'd hear 20 thousand plus fans booing the crap out of target players and Zadorov is one .

fans who just watch it on TV dont truly appreciate the atmosphere at the Bell Center .</div></div>
Keep your condescension to yourself. I also pay to see games. You don't need to be a Robert about it.
Zadorov isn't the leader of our #1 rival like Chara. If Habs do acquire him, I feel like they won't be booing him for long, if at all.

Thread: Blockbuster Trade with COL Realistic

Your trades aside, I have a feeling MTL is scouting Zadorov. But I think you're in the relative ballpark of Tatar's value. Boston trade is situational--depends how desperate they get, since they only need to swallow 1 year of AHL Backes if they don't do the trade. They may find another way out that doesn't involve their 1st pick.

Thread: Getting A Top 6 Winger While Rantanen Is Out

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchMarnerElite </b></div><div>The Leafs get a top 4 2-way defenseman with size & physicality, a good defensive Forward that helps them stop the cycle in their own end & a late first.

Marner - Makar, one-for-one, no retention.

GM Dubas will otherwise hang up the phone, 'cause Leafs aren't in rebuild mode at all, so they have no reason to sell a star forward for several notably inferior players (even if they're very useful). I also believe the current deal wouldn't make sense for Toronto either (not because of value, but because of needs)

Would the Avs trade Rantanen easily? Obviously not, so Toronto is in the same place.
