HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: Off-Season Edition

[Kimota]

No, there's more to it than just that

'Anybody' lucky enough can be a champion (carried by superstars sure)

But NOT 'anybody' can be a Hall of Famer

It's ludicrous Tkachuk is not a HoFer, and there is NO doubt Price should be one too

There's luck in sport but nevertheless it's a great achievement. You should not get in the HOF for winning a cup but if someone has other attributes then a cup is a big addition to go in.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Huberdeau is actually awful

 

[Runner77]

27 years ago, probably the most memorable goalie fight in NHL history. Felix Potvin was one tough customer, took Hextall by surprise.

 

[Runner77]

Every team probably has one player memed as Jim Carey in Dumb and dumber.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I didn't realize that Nylander was hitting UFA this year. He would be a good target for Hughes.

He's the perfect target. One of the only good Leafs in the playoffs, too.

 

[Ezpz]

I can't recall a year both conferences were so weak. There's maybe three contenders across the whole league. I'd guess there will be quite the arms race at the deadline. I would guess the flat cap prevented a lot of teams from plugging holes which creates more parity.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Will OV ever score again

 

[26Mats]

I didn't realize that Nylander was hitting UFA this year. He would be a good target for Hughes.

Will be 28 to start next year. Will get an 8 year contract which will bring him to 35.

So you have to ask yourself how good he'll be for the first 4 years (28-31) and the last 4 years (32-35), and is it worth giving him 10M + per year for all 8 of those years.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

He's the perfect target. One of the only good Leafs in the playoffs, too.

Unfortunately he is going to want FAR too much.

[Runner77]

You can always count on an idiot GM not to do proper due diligence.

 

[Yasuo]

Huberdeau is actually awful

One of the worst contract ever. 8 more years at 10.5m and already 30. Look worse than last year, he's bad defensively, can't even produce decent number anymore and he's not getting any younger.

and a few on here want to trade for him. he's worse than any of habs cap anchors

 

[Yasuo]

Nylander is really pricing himself out of Toronto. 3 points already might get 100+ this year

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Nice hands by skinner

7 years, not 8.

Crazy to think the Nylander bros were both 8th overall picks.

He didn't get a microwave-shaped-and-sized head. That must be the source of William's abilities.

 

[Tuggy]

Leafs defense and goaltending is so bad.

Took the Leafs in survivor tonight. One of the last still standing.

Not looking like a great decision

 

[EveryDay]

I hope he goes UFA next summer, MTL should be all over it!

[Tyson]

That Ryan Reaves signing was a good one. 7 shifts 4:33 ice time.

On an unrelated note, Karl Alzner is still getting paid.

I think 7 years at say, 11.5 million/year, is fine. These are prime years and UFA years, and the cap is expected to go up substantially in this period. In the latter half of the contract Price, Armia, Gallagher, Dvorak, Savard, Allen will no longer be on the books.

Nylander is also what the Hans are most missing -- an elite offensive forward.

Imagine if the Habs added Nylander, Hutson, Reinbacher, Celebrini, and Roy next year.

After Nylander came back from his hold out and he had just signed a 7M deal and was struggling, I said we should trade Shea Weber for him. You should have seen the backlash I got.
