Value of: Habs veterans between now and Deadline.

[Heldig]

With Montreal all but out of playoff picture looking to move a few veterans. Give younger player like Struble, Newhook more icetime.

Any teams interested the prices are:

Looking for a 2nd for Evans.
A 2nd for Dvorak
A late first for Savard 50% retained.
A 2nd for Armia.
All above have expiring contracts.

Matheson want a first and a throw-in. He's signed for another season after this at 4.9million.

Can't see anyone offering a 1st for Dvorak nor Armia. A 4th would be a good haul.

Let me preface this by saying I have watched all but two of the Canadiens games this season, so I've got a good gauge on how guys are performing this year.

Starting with Evans, I suspect he will not be available in trade unless the team is unable to re-sign him. I suspect, in the new year, the Canadiens will discuss an extension with him.

I think Dvorak could go for a 2nd rounder, which will shock a lot of people (including Canadiens fans who needlessly hate on him) but it really depends on the market for centres around the deadline.

There's no world where Savard is worth a first. His play has dropped off noticeably this year. While his penalty killing will be valued and I think he could be a good third pair veteran on a playoff team, he is just simply not worth anywhere close to a 1st rounder. Retention doesn't move the needle. His play has fallen off dramatically.

Armia is not only not worth a 2nd round pick, he's not worth a 3rd round pick either. He's terrible and I don't think he really helps a playoff team. I don't think there would be much of a market for Joel Armia.

vesey is for cap balance, expiring, if you prefer add a 5th or so for him

Leshitshow I just wanted to move
he is Leschyshyn, Jake

thx but don't want or need either of those players and Barron is worth more than a 3rd imo

Didn’t I say exactly this at the start of the year ? And you among others defended him as some sort of defensive stalwart / gonna be extended / get a huge haul . Quite the about face . Savard has been cooked or close to it for several years . Appreciate the revelation on your part though ..

I said that David Savard was going to be extended?

I don't agree that he has been cooked for several years, I said, quite clearly, I think he's had a sharp decline *this year.*
