Thread: REBUILD - Phase 2 Realistic trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>Price has been a below average goalie the last 4 seasons and hasn’t payed a second in 8 months

I live in reality when it comes to price, maybe you should do the same</div></div>

Many scouts have said if montreal retains a significant amount then they could get a 1st and a prospect minimum. I only have newhook and a second. Am I not in reality even though I listen to scouts? Avs will forever be a second round choker unless they get a playoff goalie.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Price hasn’t played this year, outside of the playoff run that in any ordinary year MTL doesn’t even make the playoffs Price is an old expensive goalie. The Avs MIGHT be interested in 50% retention but names that 100% aren’t included are MacKinnon, Makar, Rantanen, Landeskog, Kadri, Newhook, Toews, Byram, Girard, Burakovsky, Nichushkin, LOC, Barron, Olausson. COL isn’t trading for a 34yr old goalie that hasn’t played this year. COL is NEVER trading for a 34yr goalie with 4 yrs at $7.5M.</div></div>

Bro that’s the whole damn team u mentioned including some fourth liners that literally have no value lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Habs4ever</b></div><div>Simply using the word rebuild illicit’s all kind of reactions out of people. Before going to that word, let’s visit why people are talking about it.

Montreal lost key leadership pieces, Weber (captain) Danault, Perry, price, Byron (assistant captain) , edmundson. So you have #1 goalie, #1 &amp; 3 d-man, shut down centre, pk specialist with speed and the old owl in Perry. That is a lot of leadership and 30% of your roster.

No NHL team loses a 1/3 of their team and doesn’t have bumps the following season. No police force, fire department, nurses, school staff loses 30% and not feel the vacuum, so it’s going to take time.

I told my youngest son that’s 21, before the first game, that Montreal will be terrible until after Christmas, then improve.

Montreal has some nice pieces and I wouldn’t go for a full rebuild. I would definitely move some players for picks and or prospects. Also people fall in love with certain players for various reasons. They must learn to put their emotions aside. Take for example Kulak, people love his skating and fluid puck movement. But he only generates 0.17% on offence. That is extremely terrible. With that percentage he should be a 5 or 6 d-man but usually you want those types to be either a massive bruising dman or a PP specialist should you not have that in your top four. Which is why Montreal signed wideman. So he looks like a top four, skates like a top four but produces like a 3rd pair that doesn’t hit or drop the gloves.

So Kulak is easy to coach against. He won’t hurt you with hits or points but will skate a lot. He looks good but in the end, he won’t hurt you.

I don’t want to make this too long but I would move certain players for sure and surround the new core with the right players.</div></div>

Very insightful thankyou.. the core wouod be the young guys like caufield, suzuki, dvorak, gallagher, anderson up front and petry, romanov, norlinder on D plus prospects? Primeau in net obviously
