Value of: Habs veterans between now and Deadline.

[Habs 4 Life]

I lost hope on those guys bringing back something nice in return, Savars should have been moved when he was actually playing decent hockey.

Evans will most probably be extended.

Dvorak and Armia aren't worth much, maybe a 3rd at best. I don't really care about late picks, I just hope KH doesn't go full Pejorative Slur and extend either one of them!

Koivu, Komisarek and Danault even Charlie Lindgren went for nothing....

Lindgren wasn't worth much of anything, the others left after the team made the playoffs.

You don't risk missing the playoffs to rent out players...

 

[HuGort]

we could use a veteran in rd or a forward that plays hard in the top 9.

Most playoff teams can use them. Make good depth for 60th pick in draft. Could be difference between a cup or not

The year Koivu and Komisarek left they got spanked, As for Danault, no one saw that run coming, not even us.

If they were a real contenders then fine but keeping a guy just to make it in knowing you will likely get smashed is poor asset management.

Maybe if they make those deals in 2009 they have an asset or two to help them win in 2010 or in 2014.

Its pretty simply to me, if they can help the team then re-sign them but if they will for sure test the market then they have to go unless they are one of the favourites to win it all.

While I got you here, before I forget, share some thoughts pls and we will deliberate later...

Berard
possible Panarin replacement when we don't extend him after next season

checks off most boxes but size.
He is shrimp-ish, I think 5'9 or so

I've said, if he can duplicate the physical center of gravity, etc that made MSL such a tough skater, he can stick. Otherwise, tough. You'll get a few seasons out of him before cumulative wear and tear kicks in

But very fast, great shot, superior passer.
Another 5, maybe even another 3 inches height, this is not a conversation.

What do you add to Barron for Berard

Gabe P [expected to be w/big club next season]
Othmann
Jones
Rs 2025 1st unprotected

for

Reinbacher
Barron

That’s all garbage bro and you know it

 

[bernmeister]

That’s all garbage bro and you know it

false narrative

Rein is a 5OA
Per in a redraft goes closer to 10
Oth was a mid 1st
both together are close enuf to warrant 5OA

Barron is a throw in
while Rs could change course which woud change things, that unpotected 1st currently looks like a big lottery get
sure there are more picks going the other way, but all are protected

so not garbage, AND YOU KNOW THAT

If the run in 2021 could happen despite expectations, it explains why previous guys were kept on expiring contracts: the hope of a surprise run. The NHL is a business and profit comes from playoff games; had it not been for empty arenas , the 2021 run would have been as profitable as a Cup win.
