<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.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wreckless</b></div><div>A 1st, 2nd, 4th, Harris, and Ylonen for a player on an expiring contract who can pick his destination…and yet they still whine. Fascinating.</div></div>

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..

Thread: 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.

<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...
