If Pettersson gets traded and it isn't to montreal, it'll be the 1st BIG mistake from this front office

Takes like that are hyperbole yeah but I do think if he gets traded a bunch of teams will be kicking themselves for not trying harder to get him. Similar to the Jack Eichel trade.
At this moment I don't think he gets traded but if Miller goes first and things don't improve in Vancouver I would think he's gone before his no move kicks in

Depends if you think the Newhook acquisition wasn’t a big mistake (and just a medium one?) or if holding onto Josh Anderson wasn’t a mistake at all. It also depends if EP40 is expected to — and does — regain his form. How he’s playing this season is largely ass.

Yeah definitely acquire him and his massive contract so we can’t re-sign Hutson and Demidov lmfao

If we decide to trade him, I would try to get Ryan Chesley from WSH

Buffalo looks like it may make a play for EP,and they certainly are one of the best suited to do that trade.
They have a young guy names Noah Ostlund that I liked in his draft, a C playing for their AHL team. Anybody have an update on this guy ? Maybe if they shake things up wondering if he is a guy to look at.
Oh, and if we want EP it starts with Suzuki. And no thanks.

Buffalo isn't giving up a Suzuki level player, so if they are best suited to get EP it's because it doesn't require a Suzuki level player in the trade.

With Jake's offensive game levelling off and reverting back to his norm, it probably helps negotiations for the club. If the Evan's camp is still pushing for 5 years at big money, we really have no choice but to move him.
His defensive game is terrific and any contender would love to take him on. If we can stay on good terms it's never a closed door where the two parties couldn't talk again in the summer after Jake shops his talents around the league. If there's nothing out there that tickles his fancy, maybe he rejoins the club but highly unlikely.
Maybe we can get a solid RD to play with Lane for next year in return.

Not enough.
This is the issue with this team and why it further proves it's much better for this team be more on the bad side than the good side.
This is for everyone.
Say there's a highly touted prospect, or an established player that's available and you're the Habs gm.
What's the main piece you're willing to deal for that. Say, Brandt Clarke is actually on the table, or you're going for Pettersson.
Now put your feet in the other team's shoes. You're not touching that deal, right ?
Habs don't have anything high-end they can move to get another really nice piece into the fold and that's why the Habs need to suck and need Calgary to start dropping some games
.
Mailloux is definitely not the partner for Hutson. Reinbacher might well be.
Mailloux could be a partner for Guhle, though, with Guhle playing the shutdown role with Mailloux that Reinbacher would with Hutson.
I'm not sold on that idea and I still think that the chemistry between Xhekaj and Mailloux demonstrated in Laval for a brief stint is a good harbinger of success with those two on an eventual physical 3rd pairing that could be a borderline 2nd pairing.
Still think that the habs' D looks a whole lot better with some infusion of talent, even in that of a shutdown D to play with Hutson.
A pair of Guhle-Reinbacher has the makings of an elite shutdown pairing that can handle opponents' best players.

If we trade him, we need to get something good back. He's a really solid player and could be the final piece for a cup run.
Personally, I'd rather keep him. But it all comes down to his demands. If he leaves it's a big hole. Dvorak is leaving too. So that's Beck + ????
Newhook wasn't a big mistake, every front office has those types of mistakes. We don't know whether anyone was actually going to pay a significant asset for Anderson + having him in the lineup or not makes 0 difference in the grand scheme of things for a rebuilding team with money to spare. If habs were tight against the cap and had to someone with value away bc of it, than you'd have a point.
Players with Pettersson's statistical profile are all hall of famers, I fully expect him to bounce back.
Lol yes i'm sure that's gonna stop us from resigning them, what a massive leap in logic

I'm not trading Evans tbh. He's young, he fulfills his role perfectly, he meshes well with the team and never complains.
We don't really have anyone that can fill his role, and it's a type of player you'll need whenever you start actually competing for the playoffs. Why trade him away for "prospects" that you "hope" turn out good? A contender isn't going to give us an equal roster player in return, it would defeat the purpose for that contender.
