Let's say WAS is having a bad year and OVI just retires. (he's injured i've heard)
So WAS going on a rebuild.
Would you be willing to trade for Tom Wilson for prospect and futures ?
30 years old at 6,5mil for a other 7 years

f*** no, Is this a serious question?

 

[BehindTheTimes]

Dude he's not worth $6.5 million today, let alone in SEVEN years from now.

How could you possibly want to trade for one of the worst contracts in the NHL? If HuGo gave up assets for that it would be one of the worst trades in NHL history no joke. Wouldn't happen under any circumstances.

There was never a point in time where he was worth 6.5m. That might be one of the worst value contracts in the league. Simply gross. They couldn’t add enough for me to take this on.

For Ehlers as a rental. Florida's first and one of Engstrom or Kapanen?

Yes there definitely was. Wilson had the ability to be an elite power forward but chose to concentrate on being a cheap shot artist.

For Ehlers as a rental. Florida's first and one of Engstrom or Kapanen?

No way.

I don’t think we’re at the point where we should be giving up firsts and prospects for rentals. If you look at the Hughes record it’s the exact opposite.

I think this year, with the two first round picks, and some contracts coming off the books, it will be considered the final year of the rebuild.

Hughes will finally have some fairly significant cap room to play with, his core locked down long term, and we may see some high UFA’s make their way to Montreal. Ehlers as a UFA makes more sense than spending assets to acquire him. Just my 0.02$

lets pay for a rental while we are a bottom 10 team
seems like agood idea

why should we spend any asset on rental,
Doesn’t make much sense… Ehlers isn’t much of a playoff performer either not sure he a great target.

No way.

Nope, there wasn’t. Not one single season was Wilson ever worth 6.5.m. It would take a 200m cap for that to happen. This is a 35-45 point player we’re talking about. I don’t care about what might have been. He turned out to be a mediocre head hunter. I wouldn’t trade for Wilson with a 4m csphit for 7 years, yikes.

Trotz said on Nashville Radio that Askarov's on ice antics and constantly leaving his crease to argue with officials, played a factor in their decision to not move him to the NHL and to trade him.

I have zero doubt that this iissue went back to 2023 too.

I don't think we need that attitude in Montreal. If Trotz did that no doubt he's right.
