Thread: 18-19 retool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Habby12</b></div><div>Where do you put Victor Mete? And possibly a top-5 draft pick this upcoming draft? I would definitely let Victor Mete and Mike Reilly grow within the organization and not put a player like Nick Holden in their place.</div></div>

All in the minors to start the year. Reilly could start in the NHL but needs to be insulated and paired with someone who can erase his mistakes. Ideally he'd be Weber's partner but he needs to show he can handle top minutes against top players first. Don't want to rush Mete in and ruin his confidence even though he played this season, I feel a little more development in Laval as the top guy would do him some good and when Schenn and Holden's contracts are up you should see guys like Mete be ready to step up. As for the top-5 prospect, whoever it may be (I'd go with Wahlstrom or Bouchard, depending on where they end up drafting), they'd be better served in college or in their junior team, no need to rush them either.

Thread: Canadiens 2018 off season / draft moves
Hurricanes are on the rise and their competitive window has just opened this season.

Lehkonen and Aho have some world junior connections. Hurricanes are looking for offense and have plenty of young defensemen either on the cusp of making the team or are already there (McKeown is up next and looking promising). I figured they could afford to split with one of them, albeit Fleury is one of their top young guys.

Lehkonen has 20-30 goal potential and would fit nicely on the wing on a line with Aho and possibly Lindholm.

If Carr could get a regular NHL shift he's a good 4th line (maybe fill in on the 3rd for injuries) depth guy to have, and is still young.

As for Roy, he is a young big center that the Habs desperately need, with 2nd-3rd line potential. Gauthier struggled in his last year junior (considering his raw talent) and is struggling in his first pro year. He is still young and fills a positional need for the Canadiens. If they reach their potential, the Habs could have 2 big and powerful Quebec kids that have big game experience (world junior silver medal).

The 4th is just to sweeten the pot a little.
