Thread: Seems like it is the rumour of the week
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>westleysnipez</b></div><div>If a player is a liability, then they don't have good trade value and won't fetch you a good return.


As it stands now, Anderson is a below-average player vs. his AAV, that's not rare, that's pretty common. He's bad defensively, not scoring points to make up for his AAV and he's 27, you're not going to sell a GM on his future capabilities as if he's a prospect. You've got to sell him on what he's accomplished and how he has played recently.</div></div>

Look, MTL don’t want to move Josh Anderson but teams keep calling for him. Pierre LeBrun said MTL turned down so serious offer before the TDL. So like or not, IF Anderson gets traded, the team acquiring him probably won’t like the price to acquire him

Chiarot brought a 1st + former 3rd RD pick Ty Smilanic + a 4th
Lehkonen brought former 1st RD pick Justin Barron + 2024 2nd rd pick
Kulak brought a 2nd RD pick + a 7th RD pick

People were saying Chiarot isn’t bringing a 1st RD pick alone
Lehkonen might get you a 2nd RD pick + late pick
Kulak isn’t getting a 3rd RD pick

Everyone were wrong, so I do believe that IF Anderson gets traded, it would be a good return for MTL

Thread: Mtl are proud to select
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>uncle_toto</b></div><div>lol don't try to act like you're smarter or wiser than the rest.

Of course I watched Wright. I also watched Cooley a handful of games. I'm capable of saying he's a terrific player, but Wright is the superior prospect.

Cooley's dynamic offensively, but he's going to end up playing the wing on the top-6 is he reaches his full potential. You're willing to bypass a surefire top 6 C, a position this franchise desperately needs, for the potential flash.

Colley played 71 (I could be off a game or two - the exact number escapes me) more games than Wright, clearly impacting development. That said, Wright is still the consensus top eligible prospect. That says a whole lot about where they are. Wright does small things that other prospects don't do. Just because you don't notice how he creates space for his linemates away from the puck, you say he shows no competitive spirit.

Regardless, this is your preference. I don't like it, but I sleep well at nights knowing you'll never be the GM of my favourite franchise.

Take good care, son.</div></div>

The year off, I think, is understated as a factor in Wrights decline.

Cooley could end up on wing, but not because of an inability to drive a line, but because of his ability to get around defenders.
He plays high-motor, high-speed, high-IQ game...which is why I like the Nathan MacKinnon comps.

Wright was supposed to be the complete package, but he just hasn't been this year. Under 1.0 ppg on the road. Under 50% face-offs.
I feel like scouts have gave Wright a very long leash because of COVID. But have also put unrealistic expectations on him.
Its hard to show "complete" when you are only playing the same 7 opponents over and over and over....

Thread: whats the fuss with McBain
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TanSor</b></div><div>So McBain wants to play this year and the implication is that Guerin isn't going to trade his rights this season if he doesn't get what he wants (a 2nd round pick reportedly). Guerin is (seems?) fine letting him walk this offseason, but since McBain wants to play he and his agent are likely going to try to find a team that's willing to pay Guerin's asking price.

Therefore, you either give up a 2nd for him to add to your team this year, or you sign him in the offseason. I don't think Guerin is going to budge on his asking price</div></div>

That is kind of ridiculous though, isn't it? Why would a team pay to acquire him when they can just sign him in a couple of months? Montreal is in the same situation with Harris, we need to figure out a way to sign him, cause once Aug 15th comes we lose him and wasted a good pick. TBH if I am a GM of any team I would steer clear of any prospect who commits to the NCAA. IF I did select one in the draft and tried to sign them in the first 2 off season and was turned down, I would trade their right to hopefully get a pick back. The NHL really has to fix these types of loopholes.

Thread: The Weber Experiment
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>You place a player on LTIR and you are allowed to exceed the cap by however much the contract is. In Weber's case 7.9M. So that 7.9M counts against the 81.5M cap, but you would be allowed to go to 89.4M. You don't "gain" any extra cap, the only benefit to trading him would be to a team like Arizona who need to hit the cap floor. Only because he is owed 6M in actual cash for the rest of the deal so they would save some money, but don't expect a return. Look at the Boychuk trade as an example.</div></div>

I don’t think they get anything for the contract. But that’s where I’m confused, why does Friedman and the Minnesota beat reporter bring this up if it isn’t a thing. And why did a few years ago the Leafs acquire David Clarkson’s contract? I understand why Tampa did it with Seabrook because they essentially turned Johnson’s contract into LTIR money, and Boychuk got the Sabres to the cap floor, but I’m still confused then how the Clarkson contract worked for the leafs.

Thread: Petry
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>math731</b></div><div>A gm from a Western conf team litteraly just said on the athletic that he and many other gms value Petry almost as much as he was last year when he was one of the best dmen in the league. This offer above is ridiculous and absolutely disgusting. But it is also weird to link Petry to DET considering the fact they are rebuilding. Petry will fetch a first and a solid prospect from a team that is not Detroit.</div></div>

This trade is in response to some of the crazy Petry trades out there. I agree Detroit doesn't make sense at all for Petry. I have a hard time seeing Petry netting a 1rst and a good prospect because of his age, contract amount and term. Especially considering we are still dealing with a flat cap. I could easily be wrong, some team could see him as a missing piece.
