Value of: Habs Off-Season

[SlafCaufield]

We had a good run but playing against Carolina showed we need to make changes,, Getting out shot every game and not getting any shots in OT is not okay.

Players I don't want to see on this team moving forward:

Bolduc
Gallagher
Carrier
Dach
Struble
Veleno
Laine
Reinbacher (bust at this point but maybe we can do a prospect swap)
Montembault

Make your offers!!

Players I want to add (not neccesarily only for the players listed above:

McTavish
Thomas
Hayton
Tuch (I think we will get him because we have his brother already in the organization)

 

[Treb]

I would be very surprised if the Habs get Tuch.

He will most likely either re-sign in Buffalo or sign a most likely overpaid contract elsewhere. He's the forward of this FA crop.

Same thing with Raddysh with TB/overpaid FA.

Is the dach tire pumping finally over

I don’t see the habs as good suitors for mctavish, just not really the right available pieces to spark Anaheims interest… unless we got some weird 3 way deal going

 

[NVious]

Zharovsky
Engstrom
1st
2 2nds
Gallagher (cap)

For
Hronek

Sign McMann or Marchment.

D is upgraded
Hope young guys take another step next year
Run a more balanced team and keep toi lower for top players throughout the meaningless season as everything is about winning the cup now
See how things play out with Hage+Reinbacher and let Fowler+Dobes battle I guess (although maybe Dobes should already be the guy?)

not sure how tuch is gonna help after his body of work this playoffs . now thomas if the blues were seriously considering moving him (which they most likely are not ) would be the move to make . package of hage guhle 1st ++ .

 

[eojsmada]

Why is Reinbacher a bust? By all accounts, from what I understood, they wanted to him to spend the whole year + Playoffs with Laval, and he had a good year.

 

[FedorTyutin]

I'll give you a top-6 player for every player you listed.

 

[cbjthrowaway]

but i was told that dach is worth voronkov

 

[ottawa]

In what world is Reinbacher a bust lol, still very much projected to be a 2nd pairing RD?

And before I hear, injury prone...he was injured but he still played 59 games (2 NHL) this year out of a 72 game season. He should make the habs next year, let's see what we have in him.

Also no thanks to Tuch especially after the playoffs he had.

I think you should be limited to one terrible habs trade proposal per day.

Ok no upgrading the D, got it.

Just keep the redundant assets and run Hutson, Matheson and Dobson into the ground next year too.

 

[TheBeard]

Montreal should look at either Hertl or Karlsson from Vegas to fill their 2C for the year until Hage is ready in which case one or the other plays 3rd line minutes.

he isn't. It's the opinion of one catastrophizing habs fan

Figured.

 

[glenbuis2]

if there’s one thing we can take from the playoffs so far is that the rebuild is not over .

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Montreal should look at either Hertl or Karlsson from Vegas to fill their 2C for the year until Hage is ready in which case one or the other plays 3rd line minutes.

That would require them to waive their NTC. Hertl has a 3 team trade list, odds are he's not going anywhere without his say so. And Karlsson has a 10 team no trade list, which probably includes all of the Canadian teams

 

[kyne]

There is no need for wholesale changes. The rebuild is still ongoing. The needs may be obvious but the fix is gradual. Hughes will not turn into Mad Mike.

Well he signed mad Mike for 5 more seasons …

They could promote Luke Tuch from their AHL squad.. lol...

Montembault

Laine is UFA, so he will walk. Veleno is RFA but Mtl doesn't have to qualify him. Takes care of those 2.

Gallagher, would be a cap dump so if trading him, would need to give up something.

Dach, at his QO probably not going to garner interest. He's played under 2 full seasons of games over his 4 years with Mtl.

Struble, 3rd pairing Dman. Not sure teams would view him higher than that.

Carrier/Bolduc tradeable.

Kind of harsh aren't you? Bolduc and Reinbacher are pretty young.

 

[RationalExpectations]

I wonder which teams will rebuild, which will retool, this is really what will set the market.

Right now I d say except VAN and CGY the seller List is pretty short. NSH LAK WSH NYR SEA STL NYI PHI join the list to some extent but I think all these Teams will rather try to improve and sell only if they have a poor start next season. Then there are other teams willing to go for lateral Moves (EDM TOR NJD…)

Because the UFA market is quite thin and so many teams want to contend I could see a very dynamic offseason trade wise with a lot of veteran shuffling.

 

[koyvoo]

I still think it’s a bit premature to make a huge move emptying the cupboards of their better prospects and 1st round picks. People forget that they weren’t slotted to make the playoffs two seasons. They’ve got time. They’re a year ahead of schedule. Probably a year or two away from those types of trades being the right option.

Montreal tries to acquire #2 center.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

I’m sure GMs will be lining up for that treasure trove

In addition to Reinbacher you will need to make Kapanen, Hage, Zharovsky, Pickford, Volohkin, Engstrom, several 1sts available to move the needle for what we need
