He isn’t represented by Octagon, the point was not only get a cheap player for the bottom 6 but also to get face time with Rantanen and Draisaitl agent…

It's a classic summer time standoff. One GM will cave in and give the world to Carolina, or Carolina wont be able to figure out their salary cap and trade Necas for Mattias Norlinder rights or something.
Don't you remember we were getting him for Allen at one point.
The Oilers were never trading Holloway.

The oilers will also never win a cup with Stuart SkinnerDon't you remember we were getting him for Allen at one point.

.Holloway is legit a future bottom 6 player . He looks like a glorified McCarron
Truth be told they were never going to win with Allen either.The oilers will also never win a cup with Stuart Skinner

Skinner actually played very well in elimination games the Oilers offense dried up more than anything.
Holloway at least gave them some good heavy play on the wing and chipped in for a couple of goals.
He was far more effective than Kane and the 5'8" Kailer Yamamoto they played last year.
He is a third line player no doubt but you need those guys too.

I don’t negotiate with Juice Arses
Right now Hughes looks like a genius for staying out of the UFA contract madness and simply biding his time. Eventually a team that’s over the cap - or very close to it - that has visions of competing is going to come calling and Hughes will extract his pound of flesh for taking on a cap dump.
I enjoy the way that this man operates. He makes bold but logical moves, with the eye for helping the team in both the short and the long term.
As I’ve said for awhile, this is the big year for Hughes to really make some waves. David Savard should return a late first at the deadline. Armia and Dvorak will be moved as well. They won’t garner large returns but clearing another 11 million in change off the books is addition by subtraction.
By the end of the season, the Habs should have grown organically, made some improvements in all areas, but will likely ultimately fall short of making the playoffs. Habs will likely have 3 first round picks for 2025 (assuming they get one for Savard), a ton of cap space, and a young core about to be infused with some major talent up front and on the back end.
This is the biggest year for the Habs in a long time (in my opinion), and the year the franchise finally is able to firmly say the rebuild is finished, and the rise of the Habs like the mythical Phoenix from the ashes, begins again.

"If Montreal Canadiens GM Kent Hughes is determined to turn to the free agent market to find offensive reinforcements, he essentially has three candidates left.
Daniel Sprong. Tyler Johnson. Alex Nylander. That's it." - TVA Sports

He'd actually be perfect for the Habs. He's the type of player we need.

every year names some up that will be UFA's the next year
example Dri from EDM
and every year us fans all predict and hope habs will sign them and every time the team signs them and they don't hit UFA
next year is no different. Habs need to trade for guys, they wont get a chance on these big names by UFA unless they trade for the rights, and even then......

I was a giant Conan fan in the 90's, you got a good chuckle out of me with that onethat 4th line
I used to go to bed at ridiculous hours to catch his show.

He might be the most promising 4th line piece there and even then, nowhere near a sure thing. That line has 9 NHL goals in 2023-24. RHP is gonna need a big camp to show he's anything more than pressbox filler. Vanilla gives jake Evans heart burn.
Habs
Always cheerful, happy and pleasant.

am I the only one that thinks Necas wouldn't excel here and would be a cap killer? 53 pts on a loaded Canes team, what the hell is he going to do here? I think the hype is unfounded, worries me a lot about giving up a ton for him.
I am a firm believer that the Habs need not sign or bring in anyone and allow guys like Beck, Roy, Kapanen, Heineman a legitimate opportunity. Stop with the stop gap players...Habs have enough deadweight as it is.
Evans has no idea what to do in the ozone, he need to play with more creative/better wingers to produce.

None of the rumored top-6 F have been traded…. will inevitably happen over due course

With him going to arbitration it's probably over for this offseason anyway.
Where does Carey Price end up now that his 24’ salary bonus has been paid out?
Also, I was kind of hoping we could’ve traded one of our left shot defenceman for Barrett Hayton in Utah, he would provide great future insurance for our two free agent departing centres
