Thread: Trade Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Joblow</b></div><div>What are you talking about? Evans contract is just fine. He is such versatile players, would care less if he would make 2,5 millions instead of is 1,7 cap hit. There other thing that is valuable then points. Evans is mostly use for defensive purposes and does extremely well. Faceoff, pk, nevragic moment. Evans values like i said is superior for Mtl at the moment</div></div>

Alright!

My thought is that he’s generally a 4C. Certainly a valuable role. But most good teams are not going to pay $1.7M for a 4th liner. You’re better off spending on higher impact players at the top of the lineup and then spending &lt;$1M for everyone on your 4th line.

It’s a luxury that most teams cannot afford. Montreal has cap space and is bad, so it’s less of a concern.

Thread: Trade Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Joblow</b></div><div>We already had this discussion. Get over yourself. Evans will only be move if the return is irresistible and this is not. He is more valuable to Mtl than a late second round pick. This is really not hard to understand. Mtl have already a millions pick over the next 3 season and a boat load of prospect doing well in Laval. There absolutely no incentive of trading Evans for a 60thish overall pick. Maybe next year when Evans is UFA the narrative will change but there no reason for Hugues to entertain the idea of trading Evans unless the return is irresistible like is said before.</div></div>

Why so worked up? Shouldn’t today be a happy day with the Monahan trade?

If someone is offering to dump a pretty lackluster contract for a solid return, I would absolutely consider it. Call up some youngsters or try to get additional assets to take on a cap dump. Maybe go shopping on waivers. Lots of options for a team that’s not trying to win today!

All of this is moot anyways because I can’t imagine this offer being on the table for Evans.

Thread: (MTL/WPG) - Monahan for 2024 1st (WPG), 2027 3rd (WPG)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CSStrowbridge</b></div><div>In a vacuum, this is a fair deal. A 1st and a 3rd for the second best forward available (after Lindholm) would be good during most trade deadlines. However, Montreal was paid a 1st to take him and then signed him to a reasonable contract and then traded him away for another first and a third. Yeah, they WIN the overall transaction, even though Winnipeg are not the losers here. Calgary is certainly the loser here.</div></div>

I mean, they were paid to take him because he had an awful contract. Now Monahan is on a more reasonable contract signed as an UFA, so I feel like the firsts are not related.

Treliving’s splashy summer certainly looks awful in hindsight. How was he unemployed for like, a week?
