Thread: Treliving Trades for an RD
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>Pezzetta can play Centre as well: <a href="https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/p/pezzemi01.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Pezzetta</a>

How does adding a 3rd Round Pick + Waivers Exempt RFA RD and RFA replacement Player not help a Rebuilding MTL Team!?</div></div>

I mean, he can. But I don't know why any team would want him to, he's not all that effective there.

Montreal doesn't really need more mid-round picks, they've picked more than 7 guys in 5 straight drafts (usually around 10) and have at least 10 picks in 2024 and 2025 right now. Pezz plays an important role for a rebuilding team that Gregor can't play. And with injuries and young D, Montreal needs D to play in the NHL and don't really need D in the AHL right now (or next season when other D prospects turn pro).

There's no reason for Montreal to move Pezz or Kovacevic right now, and a late 3rd, a RD that would be on the 3rd pair in Laval and Gregor isn't going to convince them.

Thread: 24 Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffW</b></div><div>How many teams are looking for a 2C that will be in it at the deadline, we know that Boston, Vancouver and Colorado are definitely looking...

There is lindholm, henrique, Jenner, monahan, johansen, and frost on the market for sure.. then you have guys like hertl, zegras, giroux, roslovic, konecney, and others who are less talked about but possible trade candidates.

Doesn't sound like at this point that there will be a frenzy for monahan... that could change but he's a terrible fit for this colorado team</div></div>

How many of those have a cap hit less than $1M?
Monahan is an option for every team. The rest are only options for maybe a couple of teams.
Teams can make additional moves to fit more cap, but there will be extra costs attached.
Monahan doesn't require a lot of hoops. Send a pick, get the player, swap him in.
