Thread: Price and Seattle
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ColonelX</b></div><div>On top of all the known connections of Price and Seattle his wife's from the region so it just add to the speculations. People thinking that Price is done are delusional, he still have good years in him and can be great mentor. It'd be a touchy trade and whatever Marc does in this situation half the fanbase is gonna want his head.
If the Seattle expansion draft is going along as the Vegas one and they stack picks, the trade talks <strong>has </strong>to start with one of their fetched 1st rounders (Vegas had 3 total) and then we'll talk. As you've described Bergevin could litteraly sell the Fleury story to Francis and saying how the change jumpstart his career for the best plus this time around you'd get a local guy with multiple strings attached to the region on top of it. He'd instanly become the face of the franchise and I'm pretty sure Seattle could get a share of the western Canada fanbase with him at the helm.</div></div>

Well the Vegas/PIT deal was Fleury and a 2nd for the right to protect Murray. You are way off if you expect MTL to receive a first.

Also I just realised MTL can't retain salary because it isn't a trade but a draft. Vegas (and Price) would make a favor to Bergy to take that horrible contract (11 millions in bonus on July first 2021, ouch). Dont expect anything significative in return. Habs might even need to throw in a pick like Pittsburgh.

Beside, I'm not sure teams will send Seattle many futures to influence their selection after how we saw many teams (CLB, FLO, ANA, etc) getting robbed by Vegas.

Thread: Retooling - Not a Habs Fan so dont kill me
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jmac490</b></div><div>I googled the specifics of Backes NTC... No where did it say what teams are on or off of said list.
So hypothetically speaking Montreal could be on the list because no one other than the Bruins brass (and maybe teams that have inquired/Backes/his agent) know what is on said list.

This is also a hypothetical website. It's all speculation. You don't have to be rude for the sake of being rude.</div></div>

No need to google it.

This very site tells you he has a NTC with 8 teams he can accept to be traded this year. Im sorry you feel offended because I asked you to educate yourself before arguing your opinion.

In fact, Boston can't move him at all without his conscent, because all he has to do is to choose 8 teams that can't afford him. You will find enough informations on this very site to realise there is plenty of that.

He won't move because his life is there and he has a chance to win the cup every year. No way he puts freakin OTT MTL or DET on his list to go finish his carreer miserably at the bottom of the standing.

On a side note.

Hypothetical doesn't mean it doesn't need to be plausible. Or go trade McDavid for a 7 th round pick and argue about what a great hypothesis you came up with.

Whatever.

Thread: Kovy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Thebig3</b></div><div>No risk, what's the worst that could happen?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JordanFerreira99</b></div><div>Thats not my point. MTL aren't in the playoffs. Their adding players like Scandella who's terrible and its clear Kovy is passed it. If they think this is going to help them try to make the playoffs they'll be disappointed. Obv Kovy is low risk but he's nothing special these days.</div></div>

It's called (light) improvements without sacrificing assets and spending money.

If their contribution and inspiration to the rest of the team is enough to make the post season, good.
If they don't make the playoffs (most probably), they will at least be in the race for the major part of the season, sell tickets, and have an awesome draft with 11 picks including 5-6 in the top 100.
