You have the 2 draft picks going the wrong way, and even then Montreal still says no. How is Montreal going to take on an additional 4 million plus in cap?

Ranking Canadian Division
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>They are at least in the same tier, if not Toronto in a tier above I agree.</div></div>
I would support that the 2 teams are in the same tier, not sure how one could possibly argue that Toronto is a tier above. Currently the 2 teams have played the same number of games, and Montreal has one more point. They have also been dominating some teams, and realistically have been the better team in every game they have played so far this year. As the season progresses and games continue to be played in a very condensed schedule, this will further benefit Montreal. They do not have the top end talent that Toronto does, but they can roll all 4 lines evenly without losing anything on the ice. Really, if not for some ridiculous breaks in the first game of the season, Montreal would be 4 points up on Toronto at this point of the season. Montreal also has not benefitted from playing the weakest team in the division yet. The season will have many ebbs and flows for both teams over the next few months, and it will be fun to watch.

That is a good point. No need to rock the boat at this point. Everyone is playing well and the overall team game is looking very good at this point. Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>This is such a needless trade. We don't need Ekblad and Marner is better than Huberdeau.</div></div>
Really? I understand there are some lopsided trade proposals on here, and people often over value/under player certain players based on the teams they play for, but this trade proposal makes Toronto a better team overall, which is what most NHL GM's are always trying to do. Huberdeau is not as good as Marner, but Marner's cap hit is over twice that of Huberdeau. I highly doubt this trade is ever put forth, but if the deal did is tabled, Toronto does this in a heartbeat and becomes one of the favorites to win the Cup this year.

Montreal looks like the most balanced team in the North so far. Why change anything right now? The further into the season they go, the more this balance will pay dividends.

The fact that Reilly needs a good defensive partner in order to cover up his short comings should tell you right there that he is rated way too high.

Weal and Frolik go to taxi squad and Montreal plays with a 21 man roster. If someone claims one of them not a huge deal. They have Jake Evans that can be brought up if need be and is waiver exempt. Much better to lose Weal and/or Frolik to waivers then give up Armia for next to nothing.

Predicting Standings with rumored divisions
Fair statement regarding Montreal, but look at their record last year against all the other Canadian teams. Didn't have a losing record against any of them. Combine that with the general consensus that they had one of the best off seasons of all teams, and that they were one of the worst teams last year in 1 goal games, and it is not an stretch to say they will be battling for one of the top 3 spots in the division this year.

Top 50 defensemen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>deys3232</b></div><div>Yeah thats fair, but at the end of the day, I can only rank what I see on the ice. I cant assume that a player would do ________ if they were ________</div></div>
And this is the irony of it all. You are not ranking players based on what you see on the ice. You are ranking players based on a series of formulas, calculations, and computations, which require almost zero hockey knowledge and without the need to watch a single minute of a single game. There is a reason all teams send scouts across the world to actually WATCH players perform on the ice before and after they are drafted. There is a reason teams do not sign players to contracts based on these formulas, but instead rely mainly on their hockey knowledge, and what they see happen on the ice. Analytics will always have a supporting role with the decision making process, but nothing will come close to actually watching a player perform in hockey games, with many different and unique scenarios unfolding each period, to determine how good a player is.

For someone who has Vancouver as their favorite team, you seem to be a Maple leaf fan. No way is Reilly the 8th best defenseman in the league (great in the offensive end but below average in his own end). Muzzin in the top 15? And the most obvious give away, putting Dermott on this list.

Danault - Trading Him - Losing Him - Keeping him
How about option 2 combined with option 3. Sign him with expectations he will be one of 3 top line centers. If Suzuki and KK both take off, trade him. If either one of the 2 youngsters stumble, you have someone to fill top 6 role short term. Really hope Montreal roles their top 3 lines fairly evenly, which means it really doesn't matter whether he is considered 1C, 2C, or 3C. He gets extra minutes on the PK, to balance out lost minutes from not playing the PP. And he will start a lot of shifts because he will be leaned on for defensive zone face offs.

Byron is the type of player that will not cost you to move him, but you will not get anything worthwhile back. Very similar to Johnsson from Toronto to New Jersey.

What if one of their top players get banged up or get the flu, can't play for 2-5 days? You can't bring up a player because of the cap. Your strategy only works for players you are willing to expose on waivers.

Byron Out - Granlund In
Use Johnsson's trade from Toronto as a comparable. Byron a bit better player, but also older, so should get the same type of return as Toronto got, which is very little, but did not need to include picks to move him. Byron returns the most value at this point by remaining with Montreal.
