Depends on witch Armia he will be this year.
Last year he had a really good season after being send to the AHL.
But he started the season playing lazy.
Let's say he's playing like he finished the year at the deadline 50% retained might get you a late 2nd.
If he plays like he did the 2 years before, no team will want him at the deadline.

Lol this thread makes us look so bad, but as some have said, his season will dictate the value he fetches (if any). A very good season and who knows.... But I don't see it.
At this point in time, I could see a 4th. No retention.
With a good season, maybe it gets to a 2nd with retention to boost the value?
A first would be crazy.

I suspect he will be showcased this year, he will fill that top 6 spot besides Dach as a thank you for his attitude and break out last year, and to cash on that rebirth. Also, being on his last year of contract, teams at TDL will be all over him. But I don't see a 1st coming back. A 2nd is a strong possibility if he keeps it up.

He had a career high in goals last year fwiw
They won't get a first unless there's some series of events that lead to it (IE the sellers market of all sellers market) but he did perform quite well after being sent down.

It is challenging at times, yes. I think where they never played the game. Lack at major part of knowledge
I think that fans need to take into account the fact that Montreal will have a ton of cap room at the TDL, so dealing Armia will not be the only move. He can be dealt as a good 3rd liner to a team looking to make other moves for basically a net negative cap hit. Montreal can take back an expiring contract at even double his cap hit allowing them to shop for a top player as well That alone probably would be worth a 2nd and a 3rd to a contender, getting Armia for free and clearing 4M for another move..
I think if he has another season like last year, you may get a 2nd with full retention. I also dont think he going to repeat last season and you end up with more in The range of a 4th.
But you also only have 1 retention spot left... armia likely isnt the place theyll use it. You have Savard, Dvorak, Evans, and Armia as expiring contracts.

I'm expecting them to re-sign Evans unless he prices himself out.
Don't see him traded until we have an internal replacement.

Armia isn't getting a 1st even with retention. Habs will probably just keep him and use their final retention slot on someone else to dump.
This is a strange comparison. Mantha is an offensive player while Armia is a defensive player. But yes Armia won't get a 1st.

A career high of 17 goals, at 31yrs of age and almost a decade in the league mate.

Have to agree he’s is a beast at shielding the puck, usually keeping it away from him linemates cause he has zero playmaking skills or vision and 72. games a year he keeps it out of the oppositions net.
No way Armia is worth a 1st - salary retained or not retained.
Yes he was good in the 2nd half of last season, but he remains incredibly
inconsistent. He was sent down twice last year and cleared waivers both times.
Maybe he fetches a 3rd at the trade deadline. Maybe to a playoff team with a shitty PK

I assume the Habs only retention slot will be used to try and get a first for Savard.
Armia will need to get moved with 3d party retention, which lowers his value. I expect a 3d rounder, if he's healthy, and maybe that becomes a 2nd if he's having a great year. A first just isn't a possibility IMO.

Not likely. But, if he performs the first half of next season the way he did the last half of last season, and the Habs are willing to retain and/or take on a bad salary, who knows. We all know that there was no way Montreal was going to recoup a first for Monahan until they did. We all knew they weren't going to get a 1st for Chiarot until they did. Right situation to the right GM, you never know. But I'll still guess no.

Go Habs!
Armia is not getting a first, even with 50% retention. Besides, the Habs will probably not retain on Armia anyway, as they only have one retention spot left for this season, and it will garner a better return with Savard.
