Value of: Mtl needs a young goalie. Who and what value?

[Lockin17]

Hammond, Holtby or Berube?

Sorokin ?

 

[Cogburn]

Sorokin ?

He's not a free agent until next year though, right?

 

[Sebastien]

Sorokin ?

Islanders aren't trading Their young superstar G

UFA in 2 years mate

 

[Halakitlikethat]

They don’t need anybody anytime soon . I bet they can buy low on someone or claim someone on waivers . I think next summer is when they’ll really need someone as Allen will be UFA

 

[Sebastien]

UFA in 2 years mate

View attachment 578879

So, they will resign him before his up

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Hammond, Holtby or Berube?

Holtby just had a career ending injury, He's not available.

 

[Cogburn]

Holtby just had a career ending injury, He's not available.

Dang, I missed that.

My point remains though, the UFA options are limited at the moment.

 

[innitfam]

DiPietro for like a 5th? 6th?

 

[Rock Paper Sissons]

Hamhuis + Vokoun for Spacek + Koivu. Habs need to get younger.

I dont really like throwing a young buck like Hamhuis in there, but I guess for a sexy piece like Spacek.... you got yourself a deal my friend

 

[PelagicJoe]

Montreal needs a lot of things, honestly. You'd be parting with a lot of picks to get a top 10 goalie.
Like another poster here said, the draft is your best bet at the moment. You're still in the early stages of the rebuild, which sucks for any fan base. I'm a Detroit fan, so I can definitely relate.
If your team's history tells us anything, you'll be back before you know it.

Primeau isn't signed yet.... why?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Primeau isn't signed yet.... why?

Probably because HuGo were too busy scouting and working on trades etc. They are likely working on contracts for Dach, Primeau etc now.

 

[samsagat]

Habs are not in a hurry to get a goalie.

Primeau had a great playoff run for Laval to the final, he was their best player. He just turned 23.

Dobes had a dominant 0,934% season in the NCAA.

Dichow is showing good things in Sweden. He played in the Olympic for Denmark.

Vrbetic signed with Trois Rivière Lions.

With the team's rebuilding, there's no rush to get a goalie. HuGo can be patient, wait and see what the young guns can become.

Riding an Allen/Monty tandem while awaiting.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Price was one of the exceptions that was elite from minute one.

I'm looking for that "figures it out" goalie who is ypung enough to grow.

We got 3-4 year window to contend and that means someone 26 or younger. That gives us an early 30s goalie with a 5 year window.

Price spoiled us, but also hid the huge holes we had.

Moving on...

Where were you when Alex Georgiev was available?

 

[pth2]

Preds offer Tomas Vokoun for Saku Koivu.

Actually, a Vokoun equivalent to what he was at the time of the expansion draft is exactly what the Habs need.

 

[Rubi]

You can have Daniel Vladar if you give us back our 1st round draft pick.
He just turned 25 three days ago, he played 23 games last season with a .906 Sv%, a 2.75 GAA, and a 13-6 W/L record.
Normally the Flames would keep him but we have Dustin Wolf in the wings chomping at the bit.

 

[Qwijibo]

DiPietro for like a 5th? 6th?

No. He’s an undersized AHL backup. Could get better than him on waivers.

Goalie prospects don’t return 1st round picks.

 

[CapSpace]

We'll ride with Allen-Montembault-Primeau for a few months. HuGo will not pay a high price in a hurry for something we don't need that much since we're rebuilding.

Maybe a waiver pick, or pick a goalie high next draft, or a 2023 UFA.

Not a f***ing 1st for f***ing Samsonov tho. Nor Vladar.

 

[Rubi]

Goalie prospects don’t return 1st round picks.

Is he just a prospect? Or a legit young goalie with NHL experience who can develop into a #1?

 

[Qwijibo]

Either way. He won’t return a 1st.

 

[Rubi]

Either way. He won’t return a 1st.

Fair enough if that's your opinion but we all know how desperate some teams can get in their search for a competent goalie. Although with the Habs, due to their Connor Beddard lottery quest, that's probably not one of their biggest priorities right now.

A much more proven Georgiev returned a 3rd and a 5th. Thinking any team is giving up a 1st for Vlader is pure fantasy

Yeah Georgiev is much more proven but that's not necessarily a good thing when the proof isn't exactly the best. Sometimes you can get more for the mystery bag than you can for the see-thru one.

 

[franste Perreault]

Just waiting next off season and look to sign Fillip Gustavsson I watch him a lot in last 3 years he can become a really good # 1 (top 15 in NHL) in 2 to 4 years
