Good and valid points. I'm just not sold on Dach being a full season player. His bad luck has been on-going since he came in the NHL. He's super talented, may actually be a 1st line Centerman, but if he keeps injuring himself He'll be very well paid for the time he actually plays. I hope that it was bad luck and that it won't repeat.. Really do, just not hopefull.

good lord.. did you just trade MTL's Armia for Dickinson, AND the 2026 2nd round pick?? Pretty sure Hugues would take a 4th round pick in 2057 for him.
Armia is good right now, but damned if I didn't trade him in a heart beat for anything at all. Especially that. Hugues would be shaking his head saying things like "No, I promise you, they are giving us Dickinson, AND the 2026 2nd round pick fro him.. yes I'm sure it wasn't a prank call!!!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LAkingsfan77777</b></div><div>Vegas would rather trade someone else. Roy is young and locked up for a team friendly deal. Also if they were interested in trading him, no highly doubt that he's worth that much. it's a pretty big overpayment.
Additionally COL would say no too. They don't want Barron and they're isn't room for him. Evans isn't the best player either and COL would probably want MTL to retain a good chunk of his contract.
Finally, if Vegas needs to get money to spend, who are they spending it on? Marchessault isn't leaving Vegas and he's also not worth 8 mil.</div></div>
I disagree, but your comments are fair.
For me Roy is worth it. Beck will be a good 3rd or 4th Center; Roy is putting up numbers and from what we're seeing right now with Hugues is that they are fishing for QC players out there worth their time. I think he'd fit that profile.
COL - You have to look at their current cap situation, it's not bad, but it could be better. Barron would come back a better player than before and can take the spot of the older guys that may not be returning next year with a cap hit of less than 2M$/yr for a Defenseman that's not bad. They also need a good 4th line centreman, and for some reason, HABS players are suddenly good in Colorado.. Just look at Drouin and Lehkonen.. Lehk was nowhere near what he brought to them. I think Evans ain't gonna be that, but he'll be good enough for that 4th line.
Vegas/Marchessault - He's got 58 pts in 65 games this year has proven his worth in playoffs, so I think he's heading for the bank for his last contract. My view is that MTL will gain from a player like him, he's a leader and a QC native which like I said above, seems to be a road taken this year with Hugues. So he'll be careful, but right now he needs forwards since he's got the defense pretty much summed up for the next few years. I put in 8M$/yr, but you have to take into account that we need to put numbers at the max we think they may get for our team or from others that would want to bank in on UFA's.
With the slew of young players, MTL would benefit from him.

Not whining at all... I'd actually move on that.. To get Crosby in MTL.. I think it would be a steal.. Personally I'd give Dvroak (50% retention), Barron, Harris, Beck, Norlinder, WIN 1st, and 2X 2nd rounders. If they want I'd even forget about the 2X 2nd rounders and provide WIN 1st AND CAL's 1st, but would remove either Harris or Barron form the equation. This would need to be with that Crosby signs for 3 years in MTL (around 7M$yr probably) . He'd be a great asset for the Habs and the money cash cow that he'd bring in.. OUch..
If Gretzky was able to forget the C on his jersey, I think Crosby can take an A instead and leave the C to Suzuki and teach him.
I'm saying Dubas does worse trades than that.. You have a way better view than him of what to get for Crosby. He'd trade in his 2023 Ferrari for a 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe, would still have to pay 30K$ at 6.6% interest for 8 years on it and think he won the deal..
I bleed for Pens fan.. I do like the Pens, they should have a better team in order to at least try one more time, but Dubas isn't a builder.. He'll destroy the team to get that first overall then 2 or 3 top 3 picks and still be unable to figure out why he can't win series. Just look at what he did in TO.. Really.. You have Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares, and Rielly.. still he never woke up to figure out he also needed defensive defensemen, a good goalie and some grit players. He got more point makers that don't block and don't carry the puck.. That's a huge hole on defense and that'll hurt your team. He's doing the same bringing in Karlsson.. Should've gotten a player with less points, but more +'s and grit around the net...
I hope the Sr Management open their eyes with the attitude Crosby showed in the locker room after that awful trade for Guentzel..

Every one think Slaf is a trade asset.. Why? Hugues picked him over fan favorite, I don't see him going anywhere. Ghule, Reinbacher, Dach, Suzuki and Caufield, same thing they're not budging the core they are building up. Personally Dach wasn't a good deal.. He's played 1/4 of the games since he's been here and he's injured 90% of his body while washing dishes.. The guy can play, he's got talent, he's one hell of a player.. But he's not playing so he's worthless. Should've kept Romanov.
Harris, Barron, Mesar, Beck, Condotta, Norlinder, Dvorak, Anderson, Gally, Armia, Evans, Pezzetta, Ylonen, Kovacevic, are all players that could be viewed as assets to trade for lots, or nothing depending on the player.

Draft Day
Don't mean to be a negative voice here, but I have no clue why would the Habs give up so much for a 9th overall? Doesn't make sense.
You're giving up Barron [RFA Rights], Farrell, 2024 1st round pick (WPG); 2025 1st round pick (CGY); and 2025 2nd round pick (PIT) for a 9th?
While Barron isn't a high hit right now, he's still young and showing good signs, he may be added to a trade at Draft or offseason to get a veteran or a 2nd round pick.
Farrell has been more than useful and would alone fetch a 2nd round pick if he needed to be moved.
While the WIN is a late pick, Flames don't look like a top 15 team for next year either so Hugues may want to gamble and wait to see what pans out because it's full of clauses but could turn out better than expected if they can get a 11th to 15 pick. So it doesn't makes sense for Habs to trade so much for a 9th.. From 3 to 5 probably, but not over 5.
And PS from the years in Toronto and the moves Dubas did this year with the Pens.. I will say he isn't that smart to pull any of these off.. He'll do what he's done in Toronto, drive the team to nothing so he can get the easy picks top 3 in two to 3 drafts (Unless Sr Management wake up and fire him from the mess). By that time Crosby, Malkin and Letang will all be pass any chances of going for another cup run.
Hope Management send him packing soon before he destroys the Pens ... He got it easy in Toronto.. Tavares WANTED to play in TO, he drastically overpaid him anyways, he got Matthews of a draft lottery on that good year and got high pick for most of them. But he couldn't figure out the players who'll defend to bring it in.

If Verbeek's statement is true then fine, but the "speculations" he's talking about are not just from MTL reporters, it was all over the league. Many GMs will say things like that to throw off the sent. He also may want more than what was offered or I'm putting here.. Or like the statement says, blown out of proportions.. We'll know once the season ends and Draft day happens.. Maybe even at TDL next year if they can't come up with a satisfactory number that Zegras will want for many seasons.
But clearly he isn't worth close to even one of Slafkovsky, or Reinbacher + if the rumors were running around about him not being happy with the treatment over his contract. The value drops.
If there is no issue between him and the management then it's a clear no move situation and they'll give him his 12M$+ contract in two years.

While most are happy to not have gotten PLD in MTL if Hugues still made a play for him, it would be considerably less than anything they may have offered WIN.
PLD has a huge contract, and while he's clearly not delivering in L.A. it would be such a big gamble to take on in hopes that he would suddenly produce something in MTL that matches the contract. ANd I was one hoping to get PLD at TDL last year.
The only deal Habs may put on the table would be to have a deal where the HABS win on this and LAK get rid of the 8.5M$ they have on their cap. This means pay out.. Hear me out, the LAK are NOT going to pay this but this is what I think they would need to take and send if Hugues were to bite on the deal.
LAK send : PLD + 1st 2025 + 2nd 2027
HABS send : Dvorak (cap space) + Armia
What this does is put relief in 2 years for LAK while providing them with players they can either buy-out or trade for peanuts (Armia) just to clear their cap.
Other than that I don't see Hugues gambling his picks and Barron for PLD who has unfortunately not proven he should've gotten that contract. With the term he has at the rate he's getting.. I don't see him being taken on by any team at this point unfortunately. LAK are gonna have to stick with him and work on his game else they'll have a guy sitting in the rafters taking in 103K$/game to eat hot dogs.

Guessing you haven't read anything above explaining why it COULD cost more for him at TDL given that he may become the more valuable player if Tanev gets moved.
COULD.. The Hornek deal is in an entirely different time and place. VAN is now in a very likely position to got for it all. They MAY want to make a move and OVERPAY ... Like I said above.. Just to be clear. And Savard's numbers are getting hammered because we have a team that's hurt, and most of them should play AHL or have been moved out but given their bad contracts are here and not helping..

So the season is over
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>How do you plan to keep Harris on the roster for 2 more years?</div></div>
Well that a general question that has absolutely no context in which team keeps Harris, or what is actually being asked ... But I'll try it here..
As a general question about how to keep a player for a few more years: Harris has a year left.. Then he becomes an RFA hence you have the ability to sign an extension with the player, trade his right away or just cut ties with him, but he, unfortunately, is tied to the team who will own his RFA rights so he can't just sign with another team without a consequence if the player is approached by other teams, the current team can gets compensated for the "hostile offer" depending on the contract situation and will get picks etc.
I mean.. Everybody knows that..
If you're asking more specifically how the Habs plan to keep him on their roster.. Well.. Like I indicated above, he has one more year at 1.4M$ which Habs have the cap space. They also have many Defensemen that have two way contracts so they can keep them in Laval for development until such time they have a spot for them.
Another way of looking at it is that TDL is coming up, so Savard has been getting attention, I'm not saying he'll be moved, but given the right offer, Hugues may pull the trigger, hence a spot on the roster to finish this year, then you have off season trades, Draft Day trades etc etc etc that can come in and move Harris out, or just keep him if he's needed ..
I never said Habs would keep Harris for the next two years, but next year they can, until an appropriate deal is made and they have the RFA with him so...
If he goes to the Kings with a reasonable return, then they can keep him for how many years they see fit starting with next year then extension...

I'm not saying Habs wouldn't make a move with the Kings, but I think they'd be asking for a 2nd round pick, not a 4th for Harris.
Especially if LAK add Englund to the trade. Being 28 and still not having your regular solid NHL legs under you isn't a good thing. With another year on top of his contract, while 400K$ less than Harris, I see Hugues waiting on another option than taking this on. Harris is still young and in full development right now, in 2 years he'll have surpassed his worth by the looks of it and would be worth more than a 4th.

Necas
To be fair, Savard is worth the 2nd and 3rd without Gostibehere; But in reality where the next move will be decided on where goes Tanev; Once he goes, Savard suddenly becomes the top contender for a deal and will most likely bring in a 1st pick minimum.
Let's be fair here.. He'll go to a contender so this 1st pick will be a late pick which are not always top tier players, and have a fair probability of not even breaking in the NHL.
That 2025 1st and probably a good top tier prospect. But it will depend on what Tanev goes for. If you throw in Gostibehere for salary comp, the 1st pick suddenly will cost you another pick.. Maybe that 3rd in 2026, but I'd listen to reason and either ask for a 5th rounder in 2026. Hugues is a very good trade partner, but he's looking at maximizing all of the assets he has since he's stuck with some long term bad contracts in Gally and Anderson. So every move he has will be playing for the best possible deal, and I don't see him looking around to make it easy for other teams to play him.

Don't want to downplay the Evans move, but I don't see why Habs would get rid of a player that was developed inhouse at half the price of Faksa for a 3rd round pick. I'm not saying the trade isn't fair, I'm just not seeing why the Habs would take on extra Cap without asking for more than a 3rd.
Hugues isn't the type to go for this type of trade, he'd be asking for their 1st EVEN IF Evans isn't worth that pick. Wanna be clear here, Evans IS NOT WORTH a 1st pick plus a player, but given that the Habs don't need Faksa then I don't see that type of trade even being considered. I think this is more of an Arizona move where they just want to fill in their picks and have a collection of them for the next 5 years.. LOL!
