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

[RC51]

For the first time in modern history, fab fan finally on board to DIVE TO THE BOTTOM in order to get top talent. For years and years Hab fans REFUSED to dive After seeing the hab not win a cup in years the hard head fans are on board. Dont believe the bs, it's a full on full rebuild. From the managers to the zamboni drivers. This takes TIME 2-3 years for sure. So what do I see now, humm lots of non hab fans trying to stop the habs with crazy offers, anything to STOP the rebuild." WHY you ask" because Montreal KNOWS HOCKEY. now that the chains are off watch out in 3-4 years. Habs almost won a cup last year with almost no team. In fact they only got beat by a team 20milloin over the cap., yes legal, but fair? hummmmm. Aslo look what has happened now. TB took advantage of a loophole and won a cup. That loophole has not been removed so what good for them is good for EVERYONE. It seems half the nhl is on LTIR until the playoffs.

The better play would be looking at young defenseman to put in front of primeau.

...we have a very deep prospect pool of those...just waiting to see which ones rise in the Oven...

Habs have the right goalie talent at the right development stage in the pipr. What they will need is the right veteran to help transition Primeau (Dobes etc) into the starting role now that Price is likely to be done.

That can be addressed next offseason in UFA.

Habs need time for the young D prospects and Primeau to develop. Primeau had his best season last year.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Price is done. Thanks, i love you, but we need to move on.

We have Primeau but in my opinion, he's not top 10 NHL starter material.

So the thread question....What is available under 26 that is underated or stuck behind a top goalie? He needs to have top 10 "potential" or we stay with what we have.

As much as a late 1st is available, but it may get complicated! LOL

Thoughts?

Habs have a few years before they need a goalie. No point looking for a goalie now.

The biggest concern, though, is that none of those defensive prospects currently look like a future #1D. Hopefully one ends up exceeding expectations. Maybe Guhle?

Way too early to tell. Guhle / Barron should turn into a solid pairing. #1 dmen are generally not a guarantee at the draft and are developed over time. Too early to write off any of the Habs prospect dmen.

All the Habs can do is continue to draft and develop. No one is going to trade a #1 dman or a potential #1 prospect dman.

Draft one with FLA's pick... problem solved with the asset offered.

 

[HABitual Fan]

No interest. He’s not any better than what Montreal already has. He’s been passed on the depth chart in Vancouver for a reason. He’s an undersized AHL backup

If Montreal does have any interest in him, it will be after he clears waivers and in an AHL transaction.

 

[thefutures]

Habs are tanking, they will address that position next off season imo, it doesn't cost much to get a guy a with decent upside (husso, gerogiev, khakonen, ned etc) why pay for one before a garunteed losing season?

 

[CapsFrontOffice]

I would advise you guys to keep Sammy, my bet is he will be your number 1 by the end of the season

This aged well

Swayman. Offer sheet give up a 2nd

 

[NinjaTurtle]

This aged well

It did but it was obvious. Samsonov was always going to end up being the number one. Kallgren and Woll were more likely to finish the season as number 1 than Murray.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Swayman. Offer sheet give up a 2nd

Habs don't have their 2nd in 2024, so they can't

 

[HuGort]

Habs don't have their 2nd in 2024, so they can't

Just trade this 2nd for it back.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Just trade this 2nd for it back.

The 2nd the Habs have is the avs. Arizona isn't dropping back 20 spots just because

 

[HuGort]

We have 37th pick this year

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

We have 37th pick this year

This year, not trading that to offersheet someone that isn't going to work

 

[jjniner]

Binnington

 

[The Don Hughes]

I haven't seen anyone mentioning him, but I'd kick the tires on Thomas Milic. Free agent and he's been great this year in the juniors and he's been stellar in the WHL playoffs

 

[Wayfarer13]

Habs don't have their 2nd in 2024, so they can't

Actually they can.They can lower the offer and pay a 3rd. Of course there would be a wink to convey any short comings they're maybe on the first contract would be made up on the second one.

 

[yzerman]

Minnesota could afford trade Wallstedt to put their money on Gustavsson.

To Montreal Jesper Wallstedt

To Minnesota Owen Beck and maybe a pick to get it done 2024 second round pick (col).

 

[bbfan419]

Mackenzie Blackwood or if you want more of a vet goalie with experience Semyon Varlarmov.

I would make that deal

I was told Montreal was getting Levi
