Crosby is unique. He welcomes the pressure, and lives for the challenge. Habs have a lot of pieces to compete with when you add him and a quality winger, and we ALSO have the pieces to help the Pens. A deal makes a lot of sense here.

And I fully agree. That move would instantly make Geoff Molson millions upon millions of dollars in extra ticket revenue, ad revenue, beer revenue…</div></div>
You're right. Crosby isn't Lebron he wouldn't just choose the best team. If colorado just because his best buddy Mackinnon is there lol he's very competitive of course playing playoff hockey is important to him but he wouldn't just solely be swayed by going on the best team. Continuing to speak hypothetically bc i don't think he's going anywhere but yes Montreal would be top of the list and if he brings a cup there hed be even more immortal, itd be something to see for sure...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wreckless</b></div><div>Yep, nothing’s changed about what he’s decided to say publicly.
And his desire to do this, is in direct conflict with his desire to have meaningful seasons at the end of his career.
My guess is the latter wins out.
I can’t possibly state enough what the experience would be like for him if he came here.
He would literally transform the entire culture of our province.
We have the young core in place to support him.
It’s his childhood team.
It’s the perfect fit.</div></div>
Colorado would be before MTL. Sid has earned whatever he wants. Obviously if we were rebuilding it'd be more beneficial to the rebuild to get the absolute haul and the draft picks that Sid would bring (and for the receiving team youre selling out every single game at a 50% price increase) and if Sid wants to go then I know for a fact we would honor that. He's earned his say. If he wants to stay, stay. However, Sid has always said that it's important to him to only wear one jersey for his whole career. So idk. Outside of punditry and speculation I've never seen Sid say anything other than it's still important to him to retire a Penguin.

Offseason trade for Saros
I'd say in the offseason a trade for Saros would revolve around either a top end RD or C prospect and a 1st. The value and type of prospect would depend on where the pick falls in the 2024 draft, but considering Montreal picks around 7th I'd assume the trade Winnipeg's pick and a prospect. I think they'd ask for Reinbacher or Barron

And thats before Prospects drafted this past year, or Cam Fowler being on the team for two more years after this. Its already causeing Lacombe to be pushed to his offhand which is the problem Harris is already having.

Either add Slaf or stop trading for Kakko</div></div>
Slafs is already (nearly) pacing Kakko's production (and he's not that far behind Lafreniere either). He's also trending up while Kakko is trending down.
Kakko may well recover and eventually become a top 6 producer, but at this moment his value is low and doesn't even approach that kind of return in a trade.

There are multiple goalies I'd rather have as a free agent than spending a 3rd on Primeau. Errson has been great as a rookie and we will have Kolosov in the AHL next season. You can believe in your fantasy land that someone will give you value for Primeau, I'm just telling you it's not going to be Philly.

Getting rid of the Campbell contract and clearing cap space
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>MTL are trying to get rid of bad contracts, not add more.
Maybe in 2 years.</div></div>
I dont think they are trying to get rid of bad contracts, I do think they are aligning their rebuild with the timeline of these contracts expiring. In 3 years Anderson, Campbell, and Gallagher will be off the books, that's $17M they could use to add an impact player either through trade (with the many assets they will have accumulated by then) or just through free agency to join their prospect that should be fully developed at that time.
Personally, this isn't enough to take Campbell, but if MTL can get 2 1sts out of this, somehow I'd consider it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wreckless</b></div><div>We’re not looking to move Slaf. What’s the asking price on Kakko?</div></div>
NYR aren't going to move Kakko unless the move helps them NOW. MTL doesn't have (or I should really say won't want to) give up the assets NYR would want to get him. Draft picks really don't do much as the player won't be able to help NYR for a few years. Most likely it would have the be a 3 way trade where MTL gives up assets to a team that has what NYR wants and gets Kakko in return, so unlikely.
For an in season trade, it would have to be one of Newhook, Slaf, Dach, Caufield, Suzuki coming back (which MTL obviously declines). For an offseason trade, Beck+mid pick could be a possibility depending on the health of Chytil.

Personally I'd be happy with that. I don't think Laine was ever a fit here and I think cutting ties on that big deal and moving on, with 2 mil retained and adding Beck would be a smart move.
Goes without saying though that a Laine trade isn't happening anytime soon with him entering the player assistance program. Would be pretty surprised at it happening over the summer either considering that. On the hockey side of things though, I'd take that as a CBJ fan.

MTL fans, please tell your friends. Small pieces won’t buy Z. Here are the base pieces needed to talk trade for Z. And note, if this isn’t of interest, that’s okay!! We do not want to trade him
Option 1: Reinbacher
Option 2: Slafkovsky
Option 3: MTL ‘24 1st + Beck/Mesar/Roy tier
All 3 may need some tinkering with other smaller pieces one way or the other, but if the trade doesn’t look like any of those three, we will very happily continue buying Zegras threads in ANA

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wreckless</b></div><div>All fair points. What I meant was giving bigger roles to younger players. Point taken in overall age of the team, however. My point is if it were me, I’d unload Elvis, Jenner, etc.
We keep Matheson because he has a well defined role, and we already have 4-5 rookie D playing every night outside of him and Savard.</div></div>
Fully agree there, that's on FO and management though to give the younger players those roles, which this FO has historically been <em>very </em>hard-nosed on. They won't even give our internal options that leash, so it would be weird to see them trade for more options.
I think Jenner has that very defined role for us as well, he's playing top-6 C when the rest of the center core is under 24 (aside from Kuraly). I'd also unload Elvis (if there's a buyer without retention), Provorov, and Peeke. And fwiw, I'd also unload Jenner; his value will never be higher, the market is perfect for top-6 centers on cheap deals with term, and he wouldn't play much more than a 3C/4C role during our contention window in a few years. But the FO has been explicit on him not being available, so it would take their firing first for him to be moved.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wreckless</b></div><div>What are your biggest areas of need?</div></div>
Number 1 imo is a top pair RD (Obviously Jenner isn't bringing a return that would definitely fill that, but a young RD prospect with upside would probably be something they'd look for)
Jiricek is the only guy in the org currently that could be that for them. While I'm very confident in him as a prospect and think the recent issues with him will easily smooth over with staff changes in the offseason, putting all their eggs in that basket with absolutely no alternative would be unwise.
2nd is probably goalie.
The future with Elvis is unknown, Tarasov looks like he's not long for the NHL once the FO who loves him is gone. Jet Greaves has shown some really good things, but is still a big unknown for the NHL long term. Idk, goalie prospects are weird, you don't see them traded as much, and I doubt Montreal would have a guy that's both good and they'd be willing to move. That's probably need no. 2 tho.
Those are the 2 that stick out. Middle 6 C (ideally 2C upside) is maybe something else they'd look for, especially with Jenner moving out. It's not a NEED like it was a while back, but adding more there to have more options Down the line is never bad.

"Jarmo surrounds Laine with his countrymen. I don’t think he gives up on him. But the team needs to start the rebuild."
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wreckless</b></div><div>Rebuild. Get younger. That’s 3 young assets (including the pick).</div></div>
We're already the <a href="https://leftwinglock.com/teams/biometrics/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">3rd-youngest team in the league</a>, with an average age of just 0.1 years older than Montreal. Saying we need to "start the rebuild" is like saying MTL needs to sell Matheson to "start the rebuild". It's well underway already, and we're on the way out.
We also need NHL vets to show our literal teenagers the ropes. The oldest player on the roster is Gudbranson (32), and half our regular forwards are U25. Arguably, the team's youth is the biggest problem (aside from the FO).
The surplus of this team is youth, middle-6 forwards, and LD. No reason to add more of that, especially at the expense of our captain and one of the few leaders in an already very young room. If we move Boone, it's either for a legit 2RD long term, a couple of high draft picks (that we likely deal for additional NHL help), or a center prospect with top-6 potential. If he's moved, it's to a contender that's looking for a 2C and is willing to pay out the a** to get it, a la Lindholm and Monahan.
