[BargainBinSpecial]

This is exactly the type of Barginbin talk that I’d expect from @BargainBinSpecial. Very on brand

No worries, you can still enjoy the likes of Armia, Dvo, Anderson and Gallagher for another yr....

 

[HuGort]

My prediction for signings:
DeBrusk
Roslovic

Why Roslovic?

 

[A55P2]

Unfortunately, I have to agree. Nothing of value will be worth discussing today for Habs fans. Management might attempt to fix the bottom six by bringing in some third liners, but Armia, Dvo, Gallagher and Anderson are so hard to get rid of, that it's not feasible. I would target guys like Toffoli, Monahan, Marchessault, Perron, Tarasenko, Teravainen or DeBrusk. They can then work the numbers and buy-out a Gallagher for example, bury Armia and Dvo in the minors.

Armia was amongst our best player last year, not going in the minors.

Amongst those names I'd rather take back Monahan than anything else. We know he's a top 6 forward.

It's unforunate when you say Armia was one of the best players on the team.

Maybe, but it's still true

 

[HomaridII]

Reinhardt and guentzel are signing the same contract lmao

I know which one I would like to have

On third and fourth lines I can see these players playing a much better role and having more simple productive seasons

 

[NotProkofievian]

It'd be nice to see Monahan back, he's worked well with the young guys and I just like his game besides.

Understand if he finds a longer term deal elsewhere and pulls the trigger though, he's clawed his way back after a tough go of things with injuries.

 

[morhilane]

I still remember when the only thing we did was signing matthew peca

Prepare for something similar since Laval need a few AHL vets.

The Habs themselves need to jettison more players before adding more.

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

Maybe, but it's still true

That's why you sell him high, but as you can see he's still here....lol. Nobody wants him.

Yes and about 20 mil in cap.

 

[A55P2]

Yes and about 20 mil in cap.

Oh yeah I don't doubt nobody wants him. If there was ever a time for a trade it would have been last year.

Although at this point I 100% prefer keeping him. We'd get what a 3rd pick for him? If he can play like he did last year for a full year he could get 20 goals and maybe 40 pts.

Yes, Dvo, Anderson, Gallagher and Armia need to go. Fortunately, 2 of them are off the books next yr. Price in 2 yrs and the other 2 are gone 3 yrs from now. Least to say, the BargainBin crippled the team.

 

[Tyson]

It's unforunate when you say Armia was one of the best players on the team.

One of the reasons we landed Demidov when guys like Armia are considered one of your best.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

I doubt he gets 20. I say 10 goals max. Not even a 3rd to be honest. I see a project prospect coming back who is simply not panning out.

 

[EveryDay]

I would like Teravainen or Chandler Stephenson.

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Why Roslovic?

He's an excellent skater, has some offensive flair and should be a player that can be acquired at a reasonable salary. Roslovic would be an upgrade over some of the players that now infest our bottom 2.5 lines.

Reinhardt and guentzel are signing the same contract lmao

Neither at that cost and duration.

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

It'd be nice to see Monahan back, he's worked well with the young guys and I just like his game besides.

I would definately like to see Monahan back. They can re-sell him for another first. That would be 3 firsts for this guy.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

I would like Teravainen or Chandler Stephenson.

Teravainen or Debrusk, maybe Perron on a 1 year deal.

Thats what I see going down

Teravainen or debrusk would be great signings, don’t want Perron.

 

[blarneylad]

Habs could use a top six RH shot

 

[Sterling Archer]

I would definately like to see Monahan back. They can re-sell him for another first. That would be 3 firsts for this guy.

He’s signing in Columbus

 

[EveryDay]

For the bottom 6 I would like the following:

Foegele
Heinen
Duclair

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Teravainen or debrusk would be great signings, don’t want Perron.

Wouldn’t be in my top choices, but may be ok as 1 yr rental to provide some secondary scoring depth. Can always trade him at the deadline, too.
