next 4 1st round picks MON has, all lottery protected [ forget is that 6.7.8 ?]

HUH? Since when does anyone trade essentially 6 first round draft picks. A few of which are top 10

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Armia & Evans(if Not extended) will have decent value. Evans will get a 2nd and I can see a contender also giving up a 2nd for Armia especially if we retain on him. I dont expect Dvorak to be traded. Savard might get traded if retained but with only 1 retention spot they have to decide which guy to use it on. (Armia/Savard)

How much does Arnia make . Is the cap hit as detrimental?

Bern in the same way many Rags fans are indifferent to habs young pieces, I don't think Othmann or jones amount to very much. Jones is undersized bottom pairing D and Othman, imo, is a 3rd liner.
There's 0 / no chance habs are giving up Reinbacher and possibly one of hagens or schaefer for a (good) winger in Laf.

Barron isn't a throw in btw....and if that's your logic, then so is Jones who's arguably worse than him.
montreal would never do this

setting aside disagree on some of this
wtf total disregard of LaF

Not total disregard but many of the pieces cancel each other out imo, and I’m not trading reinbacher and a probable top 5 pick and shot at another C or generational D for a 60-70 pt winger. Just my opinion

Thx. Keep in mind Habs have their wingers ..with slafkovsky, Laine and caufield with Demidov coming next season. Dach has proven nothing at 2C yet and hage is several years away. They’ll look to draft misa or hagens imo - unless Schaefer is available. I think Hughes / Gorton would prefer to target a young C if they’re going to deal valuable prices

 

[ole ole]

ok we'll keep Gabe P and vice versa on primary pick

LaF
Othmann
Jones
for
Reinbacher
MON 2025 1st unprotected
Barron
(and cap relief)

Habs get stud W, Oth can go now if you like, Jones plays either side, is useful

Rs will wait on Rein + the pick, Barron = depth for now

Habs pass AGAIN.

Centers are in short supply this deadline. I expect overpayment for Evans and Dvorak

This is a much better bottom 6 C rental crop than last year.

Also a baseline has already been set with the Lars Eller trade, which best believe will be used as a comp in every single negotiation that comes up for a rental bottom 6 C.

Last years market evaporated with Dickinson extending

There was Trenin, who was a winger being experimented with at C as a test because there were so few Cs. Then beyond that I guess Carrick?

This year we already saw Eller moved. Then Sturm, Dvorak, Evans, Faksa, Kunin, Kuraly, etc behind it.

And of course heading into UFA a bunch more bottom 6 Cs from contenders
