Check the nterwebs, bro. Interwebs is your friend.
Check my response....that helps as well because I thought they were talking about Cowan, not Minten but I appreciate the link.

What if the NJ player is Mercer not Nemec? Would fit the rebuild and would be a hockey trade. Mercer was rumoured to be available last year I believe.
I would probably pass on Mercer. He's just never been able to put it all together at the NHL level.

Will be interesting to watch the UFA landscape this summer - Bennett is a 40-45 pts two way C, but the cap is going to skyrocket

FWIW, $9M signing this summer would be equivalent to present day $5M-$6M contract ex Josh Anderson. Food for thought …
Well said. People are going to have to adjust their expectations when they start seeing new contracts being signed. We are in a whole new world.
 
The worst contracts are signed in the summers when the cap rises quickly.

When the cap is frozen for several years in a row, teams like the Habs get discounts on Toffoli -level players.

I believe he has been playing wing. If he can play centre he may be worth it. Have to take into consideration that the NJ coach is an idiot. He was trending towards being a 65-70 pt forward in his first 2 seasons.

Get ready everyone. Movement is coming after the storm.
With the way the plows are (not) working, there ain't gonna be any movement after the storm

If all we wanted for Evans was a 2nd, he'd be traded already. Washington offered that at the 24 draft & we said no.

A 2nd is not a big price & Friedman's an idiot to think that.
His ex realized that a while ago. Why is it taking the Habs posters longer to figure it out?

I did not see that, so apologies. If it makes you feel any better, I always mix them up too.

The Islanders have been made their best defender available ahead of the deadline. Montreal is the front runner. According to Spencer Lazar of THN

true or false?
Don’t see what pieces we have to make this happen. Will have to give up a significant piece. I could be wrong but I don’t think the islanders accept 4 25cents for a dollar
 
Good so you'd take the 7th rounder instead of Oskar Back too? We already Florian and a bunch of others from last draft who were better than a 7th...

Back can go cook himself an egg...

Honestly I don't know anything meaningful about Oscar Back, I was responding to one post in the chain not the previous posts, sorry for the confusion.

If Hughes acquires Back, I'll assume that Evans/Dvorak are on the way out and they need a placeholder.

Mercer is in the same mould as Dach/Newhook. Of course best case is Armia+Evans+ for Nemec, but when you think of it as two expiring 4th liners and a non-high pick for a recent 2nd OA, it's hard to see the Devils accept it.

I don't see anyway Hughes acquires Back, unless he traded Florian or Beck or Kapanen and Davidson away in despair.
