Thread: Petry

Personally, I'm not even doing that trade if I'm Hughes.

I would be asking for a late 1st for Petry at 50%.

The trade I proposed involve no real valuable assets going to MTL.

Hughes has no need to trade Petry hockey-wise.

On Evans, he's borned and raised by the club. If you want to build a winning culture in MTL, I'm sure Evans helps with that.

I'm just finding a consensus on a fair trade involving DAL and MTL. If that's it, I tend to think Hughes does not pull the trigger

Thread: Petry

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>Why would Mtl want Marchment though? He finished the year with 5 goals his last 45 games. Never scored 20 goals. Makes big money with term. He's a much worse version of Anderson. I didnt even notice Marchment in the playoffs. The Habs have enough overpaid bums that cant score.</div></div>

I agree. MTL doesnt need Marchment, but if Faksa is not involved, who else can be involved? Nobody other than Marchment.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Also, Faksa's defensive prowess last year was extremely valuable, I do not see the point in moving him, he's one of the best 4Cs in the league, albeit a bit expensive.</div></div>

The question then is how to make the trade work without Faksa leaving. Hakanpaa only involved = 21 men roster

Smith Dadonov Duchene just signed, they are not moving

Suter can't be moved

So there's Marchment. Do you think Nill would give up on Marchment after a so so year? MTL doesn't need him tho, but DAL would then have the cap space to fill his spot (assuming Petry comes at 50% RS) and sign someone like Tatar.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>Habs would definitely prefer to lose a body. Petry (50% retained) & Evans for Faksa and a 2nd & 4th seems fine.</div></div>

that could work cap wise for DAL only if they send Hakanpaa in the minors. 23/23 roster with 33k cap space.

Could be a way to pull the trade

Thread: Washington Capitals signed Tom Wilson (7 Years / $6,500,000 AAV)

This is the kind of contract that reward a player for what <em>has been</em>, and is not about paying for <em>future</em> performance on the ice

It's simply rewarding a player, born and raised with the team, that is the soul of its team

Not rational

Thread: AVS FANS, YOUR THOUGHTS

You can't assume Drouin will be able to keep a spot in a top6. Plenty of tough years in MTL plus injury prone. And if he's not in an offensive role, he's out of your line up.

That said, Tatar is a 5v5 specialist (if that exists). He can play up or down in the line up like he did in NJD. He'll most likely fade away in the playoffs tho.

Add Motte on the 4th line. He's a discount version of Lehkonen

This pick feels like Caufield dropping 15th: way too much talent to be picked at mid round.

So with the Tarasenko signing, we're all inspecting OTT roster.

It's hilarious to see Hamonic with a NMC

OTT could have considered sending him down now that they're close to the cap

Murray 2 months ago returned to the roster as an emergency goalie : “Feeling great. Happy to be back.”

Yet today he'd be eligible for LTIR for all 23-24 season

2 potential problems with TOR :

either they put a LTIR bound player on their roster, neglecting a player's health
or
cap circumvention

Thread: Final Move

Good addition. Tatar is a 5v5 specialist but GMs tend to ignore the fact that those players<em> exist</em>.

He's also the type of player that gets you in playoffs, what would be BUF goal. In playoffs, he'll fade away but anyway BUF would not care at this point.

Thread: Lineup and point prediction

Total : 282 GF

Last year, only 8 teams scored more than 282 goals.

Is MTL the 9th best offense in the league? I dont think so

Maybe RPH scores less and Harris doesn't breakout offensively. That would put MTL at best as an average offensive team

Good guess nonetheless
