MTL Trades:
Jordan Harris
CLB Trades:
Laine
2026 2nd
Man, I'm torn on this one... I'm not a fan of Laine but the 2nd is nice. He is only under contract for 2 more years, but I'm guessing we trade him before that is over... or he asks for a trade.
We didn't give up much for him so I guess I'm good with it - just not excited for it.
1.) 20 Aug 2024 13:37:50
Hmmm. I thought Montreal fans would be more excited about Laine. Good price though, because of the contract.
2.) 20 Aug 2024 17:41:55
Ya. I'm biased because I'm not a fan of his play style, but I bet there are a lot who would be excited. My guess is that the goal would be similar to a Monahan scenario - does well in a hockey city with a new crew and gains value for a trade to a playoff contender, maybe some retention to increase to a first pick somehow.
3.) 20 Aug 2024 18:25:03
He lost his scoring touch so don’t expect lots of goals but he’s probably the most underrated defensive player in the NHL. He sacrifices his body in his own end by blocking shots and taking hits. You’ll be surprised by his 2 way play and playmaking ability.
4.) 20 Aug 2024 18:57:13
I absolutely love it now that I have thought more about it and it actually happened m.
5.) 20 Aug 2024 20:52:46
Low risk move for the Habs. He finds his scoring touch and they are laughing. If he's not working out then ship him at the deadline. Still tonnes of young dmen in the system so losing Harris isn't the end of the world for them either.
6.) 21 Aug 2024 00:45:36
I believe laine will bounce back , incoming 30-40 goals ! The pp will be lethal
Slavkovsky suzuki laine
Matheson caufield
7.) 21 Aug 2024 00:52:37
Montreal now has two 1st round , three 2nd round and three 3rd round picks at 2025 draft , so big move or moves are coming! Crosby as a free agent would be wishful thinking
Slavkosky Suzuki caufield
Demidov Crosby laine
Newhook dach Roy
Gallagher beck Anderson
8.) 21 Aug 2024 01:58:09
I'd like to see Laine turn it around. Hopefully he does well for you.
9.) 21 Aug 2024 06:13:19
Sidekick, you got to hope calgary doesn't finish bottom 10 or mtl gets fla 1st round. Cal finishes 11th worst is best case senerio. They finish 10 or worst, fla is gonna be 20s or maybe 30s.
09 Oct 2020 14:30:58
Stasney going back to the Jets for Carl Dahlstrom and a 4th.
That should fix your 2nd line C
1.) 09 Oct 2020 15:06:58
I wasn't a fan of bringing Stastny back, but for this price I can't complain. He should work out well for the year.
2.) 09 Oct 2020 16:31:33
The Jets got Stastny and dumped Dahlstrom and his $850 000 per cap hit. In a year hopefully Perfetti will be ready to step in for Stastny.
3.) 09 Oct 2020 18:01:05
Weren’t you guys expecting Krebs+ for Vegas to dump Statsny?
4.) 09 Oct 2020 18:02:15
Cole Perfetti will not be ready in a year but he will be a great player eventually.
5.) 09 Oct 2020 18:02:41
Read your comment wrong Marcus. You expected Krebs or a 1st for them to dump him.
6.) 09 Oct 2020 18:06:18
Not much left in cap space after Stasney for any help on defense though.
7.) 09 Oct 2020 18:23:56
guess ‘Stastny +1st/ Krebs/ Glass for D/ E Prospect or 7th’ is dead, lol.
8.) 09 Oct 2020 19:12:00
Nope. No jet fan said they expected Vegas to have to give up a 1st or Krebs to move Stastny.
9.) 09 Oct 2020 19:13:18
Yes, the Jets still have plenty of cap to sign D help.
10.) 09 Oct 2020 20:35:07
The Jets still have about $8 mil cap space not including Little's $5.5 mil LTIR cap saving. They still have to sign Roslovic, Appleton, Harkins and Niku so they could have about $5 mil at the end of the day.
11.) 09 Oct 2020 21:11:16
Jets have 4 million in cap space and can be up to 8.15 over cap during offseason. As long as they only go over the cap by littles contract minus $1 with whatever players they sign or trade for they will be fine. At midnight of day 1 regular season they put little on LTIR and are at 81.49. Littles roster space must be filled by any player not on Winnipeg’s roster at that moment and doesn’t exceed littles cap hit. Thus now they can play with lineup exceeding cap without getting penalized.
That means they have littles contract value plus their remaining cap space right now to spend how they want.
So Winnipeg is in a great spot now. Petro @ 9 is durable. Would he?
12.) 09 Oct 2020 21:42:33
It would be great to get Petro but I can't see him coming to the Jets unless he wants his family to live in a low C-19 city.
13.) 09 Oct 2020 22:19:22
AP would be nice, but realistically there is no chance he signs with Winnipeg.
14.) 10 Oct 2020 00:24:27
if jets can sign hamonic to a decent contract, maybe get barrie as well on a 1 year deal for cheap to raise his stock, then it looks good.
I know barrie is not the best defensively, but the jets forward play well defensively, and hellebyuk is great. Barrie breaking out on the power play would make him worth a ton in 2021. Feeding the jets top 6 forwards will help barrie's numbers.

LA: Martinez
VGK: 2RP 2020, 2RP 2021
Thoughts?
23 Jan 2020 20:59:18
Just saw a possible trade of:
MTL
Price
COL
Grubauer
Byram
3rd round pick
Thoughts?
1.) 23 Jan 2020 21:55:59
Considering contract I’m thinking it’s Grubauer > Price….
2.) 23 Jan 2020 23:25:38
Hope not.
3.) 24 Jan 2020 01:15:34
I’m a documented price fan, I don’t think I’d pull the trigger on this as a aves fan. I think Byram will be a top pairing d man and I think Grubauer is a good goalie when healthy. Maybe if the aves were sending kaut or Newhook instead of Byram but that probably doesn’t meet Montreal’s need. I’m torn I just think they shouldn’t give up Byram when their window is just opening and will be open for a few years at least.
4.) 24 Jan 2020 05:47:04
Yeah I'd take that.
5.) 24 Jan 2020 13:26:21
Sosa I think you’d be crazy to not drop all that cap while getting a slightly younger quality goalie and a blue chip D prospect. It would help the rebuild a ton and it could potentially not make the team much worse in the short term.
6.) 24 Jan 2020 16:44:39
I know Ebs. guess my loyalty sometimes gets in the way. I do like Bowen Byram., the kid grew up jus 2 blocks over from me.,
Jus the thought of Price going to Avalanche, feels like when Roy left. that one still stings.
7.) 24 Jan 2020 17:03:02
No way Colorado do this. They are comfortable with the goalies they have and it makes no sens for them to trade away a potential top 2 D man for an aging expensive goalie. This coming from a Habs fan who would make this trade 100% if Sakic offers it.
8.) 24 Jan 2020 19:18:42
Lmao Price doesn’t get close to Byram. No one wants an above average goalie making 10Mil a year. No team will ever win a cup paying a goalie that much.
20 Nov 2019 20:47:35
Sounds like Babcock is out. I really didn't think that was going to happen to be honest.
1.) 20 Nov 2019 21:16:11
Why didn't Dubas the GM make the announcement?
2.) 20 Nov 2019 21:19:48
Surprised they didn’t make some kinda of shake up trade first, even a minor one, or fire an assistant coach. What’s Babs, like 3.25 seasons into an 8 year $50M deal? He must have really really lost that room for them to bring in a rookie coach to try and take over this team a quarter into the season.
Dubas should be gone as well, he’ll be next tho.
3.) 20 Nov 2019 21:31:34
Dubas has been the GM for just over a year. He should get a little more time no?
4.) 20 Nov 2019 22:10:17
The GM is the GM. He’s made all these signings and trades, he’s put together this team that has let Babcock down. That’s a pretty lame excuse donscherry.
5.) 21 Nov 2019 01:18:00
I think Dubas is actually good tbh, I liked the Kadri trade, Kerfoot was worth Kadri imo. Overall Dubas is a gm that's stays on the safe side but wins most of his trade. Wasn't crazy about the price he paid to load off Marleau tho. I would of kept Marleau and unload salary by trading Matthews (the cancer)
6.) 21 Nov 2019 01:35:53
That’s my thoughts too yupp. Only three years in, just makes ya think the players wanted him gone.
7.) 21 Nov 2019 03:03:02
Dubas probably been pushing to get Babs out as soon as he took over as GM. He wants his man from the Soo to be him man here in Toronto too. They rise and fall together.
8.) 21 Nov 2019 03:03:59
Dubas didn’t hire Babcock, Shanahan did. That’s why Shanahan made the announcement and fired him in person.
9.) 21 Nov 2019 10:54:01
He has been in for a year and a half yupp. Most of this team was already here before Dubas got there. I think Babcock let himself down.
10.) 21 Nov 2019 20:42:17
Very lame excuse. He’s been there enough to make all these major overpaid signings and some trades that aren’t working out as planned.
11.) 22 Nov 2019 00:45:25
As soon as Babcock dropped below .500 they fired him. Think they would have given him a bit more leash.

I made a draft post earlier that is on the NHL Talk page. In that proposal I noted that there were two teams I thought might try to trade down... does anyone have any trade proposal fits if CBJ or MTL traded down?
23 May 2024 15:04:13
So... anyone want to take a guess at the draft?
SJS - M. Celebrini (Obviously)
CHI - I. Demidov (paired with Dedard, mimics the Towes/Kane Duo)
ANH - C. Lindstrom (Build the forwards with Leo)
CBJ - A. Levshunov (BAP move, makes their D core younger but could consider trading down to address their forwards)
MTL - T. Iginla (Better D are available but they are pretty young with their D core... could also trade down)
UTH - Z. Parekh (Start building a D first team)
OTT - Z. Buium (Builds a good young core of D with Chabot, Brannstrom and Sanderson)
SEA - C. Eiserman (This could be the sniper they need)
CAL - A. Silayev (Big D to help control their back end and could fall to this place)
NJD - C. Yakemchuk (He could be the RD pair to Hughes)
1.) 25 May 2024 13:21:23
I'm really hoping that Demidov falls to 5, or that Habs can select Lindstrom. I am still not sold on Iggys kid yet.
2.) 27 May 2024 16:13:17
I agree Sosa, that is kinda why I'm thinking if Demidov and Lindstrom are drafted earlier, they could try and trade down in the draft. I don't remember top 5 picks trading down, but it might work for CBJ and MTL this year.
28 Sep 2022 14:38:38
Do we have a hockey pool rolling this year?
1.) 29 Sep 2022 22:20:06
Haven't heard anything . I think Triplets ( Drais) usually posts something on here at start of season, but I haven't seen him on here for quite some time.
2.) 30 Sep 2022 00:48:25
yea i dunno if drais still comes here or not, i barely do, but im always up for fantasy hockey.
3.) 02 Oct 2022 00:33:00
Yes there is one.
05 Jul 2021 17:20:13
Ducharme sitting KK tonight just doesn't make sense to me. He has played some great 2 way hockey.
1.) 05 Jul 2021 22:26:34
I completely agree Turkey. Glad to see Romanov in, and Gustafson finally out.
2.) 06 Jul 2021 01:46:52
I agree with this premise as well plus it would only help Kotkanemi’s development playing in critical games.
I liked Romanov so far tonight as he’s playing with a puck moving energy that helps their transition.
3.) 08 Jul 2021 20:17:13
From a Tampa fan perspective, I was disappointed to see Montreal play a real 3rd pair because it makes it that much tougher for the lightning. Definitely the right move. Sitting KK didn’t make sense to me though he’s been good.
25 Nov 2020 19:25:26
Sergachev signed for $4.8M x 3 years.
Pretty good deal! Might be getting a decent raise after that too.
1.) 25 Nov 2020 22:59:43
I think that's a fair deal. He will still be an RFA after this deal?
2.) 26 Nov 2020 15:02:24
I believe he has another 2 years after this deal to be RFA. Similar to what Laine did with his bridge deal.
3.) 28 Nov 2020 14:54:29
4.8M per for a top pairing D sounds good to me. Solid start to solving our cap situation this off-season. TB making it official now also indicates that a move for Johnson or whoever might be coming soon, imo.
4.) 28 Nov 2020 21:21:20
Top Pairing Dman seams like a stretch title for Sergachev at this point. Does he have potential to get there? Absolutely! However right now he got paid like his current role of Top 4 Dman. I like Sergachev and believe he will only get better, just need to not rush that high status until he earns it.
5.) 28 Nov 2020 21:57:08
I think on most teams, the kid is a top pairing D man. Tampa is just so deep, that he doesn't need to be that.
6.) 29 Nov 2020 06:44:42
He’s 2nd pair on most teams in the league. Tampa is not deep after Hedman.
7.) 01 Dec 2020 10:21:00
TB is not deep after Hedman?
Hedman, Sergy, McDonagh, Cernak is literally a Top 3 Top 4 in the league, but okay.
And yes, he is a top pairing D right now. Top pair means top 62 D league wide. Name 62 D you'd take over Sergachev, I'll wait. I have numbers to support my claim, too, if you're interested.
Sergachev really took a huge step halfway thru last season and was the Bolts 2nd best D in the playoffs, which is an okay spot to be in when Hedman is #1.
8.) 01 Dec 2020 15:11:32
Yeah ok I’m not even going to attempt to argue too much with you cause your a bigger homer then memarcus for Pete sake but one thing just because there are 62 top pairing positions in the league doesn’t mean there are actually 62 true top pair dman. But I’d bet I could easily pick 50 who are better then serg right now, now that doesn’t mean 50 who have more trade value just who are better right now. an example of this would be Duncan Keith for example. mcdonagah was barely a true top pair dman in his prime which he isn’t close to now. And cernak is a decent number 4 or 5.serg right now is a number 3 at best I’d have him a good 4 with the potential of being a top pair. who else rounds out that 3rd best score in the league? Lol schenn and coburn? Nice ones.
9.) 03 Dec 2020 05:57:39
McDonagh is a top pair dman for sure he’s very defensively sound and Serg is a lower end 2D that’s growing. Before Habby gets bashed about Keith i'd also take Keith in a playoff series last year over Sergechev. But that has more to due with overall value he’d bring to the team rather then skill alone. Keith is still a great hockey player imo with that being said he’s a high end number 3 who raises his game in playoffs.
10.) 03 Dec 2020 06:42:58
Yeah I’m just saying there are a lot better right now then serg in 2 years he might be a top 30 in the league but he ain’t there yet there are 50 dmen I’d rather take in a 7 game series for sure.
11.) 03 Dec 2020 06:44:43
And McDonagh is not a true top pair dman I don’t consider him as good as petry or muzzin and they are both borderline imo.
12.) 05 Dec 2020 15:34:46
I’d 100% take McDonagh over Muzzin on the leafs. I also think McDonagh over Petry easily. Weber and McDdonagh would be dangerous.
13.) 06 Dec 2020 05:27:45
I’m glad your not a GM then.

No from CBJ. I don't see why they would do this.
10 Jul 2024 14:42:47
Too much from MTL. they don't need Ehlers in their rebuild. Ehlers should be somewhere contending now at 28.
28 Jun 2024 13:44:17
Askarov isn't going anywhere.
18 Jun 2024 18:55:47
Konecny only has one year left until he is a UFA. it isn't that far off.

24 May 2024 15:25:40
I don't think he will fall down that far. It would be nice though!
10 May 2024 13:39:01
Sounds like they took Brind'Amour offer off the table. I would be surprised if they moved on from him. but if they did he would do great in WPG or in TOR.
10 May 2024 13:37:15
I was in it previously, but didn't see it renew this year.
21 Feb 2024 13:50:46
I think he has potential, but not their best player. I really think the habs will have depth and balance, but star players never really happen. Price was their star.
