Value of: A 2nd line center to Montreal.

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Not sure any young top 6 centers are going to be available in futures deals. Be better off surfing the rental market or market of nearly 30 year olds and hope one sticks around after their contract is up and can fill the hole for 3-4 years while you draft or develop one.

Is Owen Beck not viewed as an NHL center?

He is but will likely be best suited as a 3rd line C. Hage looks promising to develop into a 2nd line C but is likely 1 year away from the NHL and 3 years away from being a top 6 forward.

He’s good but there are a lot of other options id go with first. He is going to get more than he’s worth and i see us regretting it before it’s over. However, if there is a chance he can be short term and coach dach, maybe?

Habs been looking for top 2 center since the days of Kirk Muller. Over 30 years and 5 different GMs, none of them could find one. Other than Suzuki. Many trades, Scott Gomez, Kirby Dach, Drouin, Tanguay, Newhook, Lang, Bonk. But none worked out. I don't imagine it's going to be easy.

If we can sign a Tavares, do it!

The good news is if the Habs trade for one it will likely be at the draft which is before free agency so there is time to pivot to a plan b/UFA C.
 
To be realist no team will give a 2C for a guy like Beck or Mailloux. To bring a 2C they will have to overpay him if it's a UFA or Overpaid in a trade. Look how Colorado buy Nelson. The Price is very high but when you got needs sometimes it will be acceptable to overpay a little bit because the status quo is not an option
