Thread: Montreal Canadiens signed David Reinbacher (3 Years / $2,116,667 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Not_Isles5513</b></div><div>My issue with the signing is that they didn’t take Michov. It just seems like Hughes and Gorton has done everything they can to minimize the impact of their top picks. After all, the five guys taken immediately after Slafkovsky are all better than the former #1 overall pick. Then you have the Dach and Newhook trades where Montreal overpaid for non-premium talents. Franchise looks like a mess rn imo.</div></div>

Talk about the kettle calling the pot black!

How much did you guys pay for Romanov?
I don't follow the Islanders but are you telling me your team doesn't have any bad contracts?
And you know for a fact that the 5 picks taken after Slafkovsky are better based on what information? Do you have a crystal ball?

I'm sure your franchise isn't in a mess! Are they the favorites to win the cup this year? Are you even positive that they will even make the play-off this year?

Every team in the NHL has flaws, at least Habs fans know that we are in a rebuild and most have embraced that fact.

Thread: (MTL/WSH) - Edmundson for 2024 3rd (MIN), 2024 7th (WSH)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>The difference being is that Mtl can move on with their new leadership group and didn’t need to pay to do it. I I saw a lot of ACGMs with a 4th or 5th to move on from Eddy which was also my argument that being a broker for said retained money was the same. A 3rd is best case scenario for salary retention. You take that and move on with a clean slate. There is no loss for Hughes and the Habs here. Eddy wasn’t this terrible hockey player because of his injury issues he was an unknown commodity and the Habs need to start moving bodies just like the Preds have done except Hughes actually got assets back here. Hoffman/Armia must be next.,</div></div>

I agree with you
But
I liked Eddy
and
I think he will be missed by his team mates and MSL

Thread: To MTL and WPG Fans
Just my 2 cents but if Winnipeg is trading PLD to a contender at the trade deadline than:
1) The 1st round pick Winnipeg gets wont be much better than the Florida pick this year
2) No contender is giving up a good roster player while going for a playoff push
3) Winnipeg will either have to take back a bad contract or retain on PLD because a contender will be close to the cap ceiling
4) The trade will probably look something like the Timo Meier trade

If Winnipeg want to get maximum return for PLD they need to trade him before the season starts
AND
Give the team they are trading him to a chance to negotiate a contract extension with him before hand

Personally I hope Montreal stays out of any negotiations for PLD
1) We are not winning anything next season so why bother
2) If he actually wants to play for Montreal he will sign with us after the 2023-24 season
Otherwise he can go play wherever he wants, NO BIG DEAL!

If we draft Will Smith at this draft we won't need PLD anyways
By 2025 we will have Suzuki-Smith-Dach down the middle, no room for PLD there unless we convert PLD or Dach to the wing
Also signing PLD as a UFA will throw our cap situation out of whack too (see Toronto with Tavares)

The only way I would want the Habs to trade for PLD is if we take Reinbacher with the 5th OA pick
So trading the 5th OA or Dach for PLD are both non options IMO
For me a PLD trade would look like the Florida pick plus 2 good prospects (maybe Beck and Harris) or NOTHING
