Habs Offseason and beyond

Isles have no need for centers, and literally took Beau to the draft with them to present jerseys to their picks. He is not going anywhere.

No, no, we are looking for a good goalie

If Dallas wasn’t going to trade their 2022 1st, they are absolutely not trading their 1st Round pick in a deeper draft

If Petry was worth a first he would have been traded yesterday. His term and $$$ is too much for too long at his age.

-drouin deal feels like the kind of deal you'd see them make at the deadline - I can't see the Avs doing that over the summer unless they strike out on e v e r y o n e they're trying to sign

-i don't know if Anderson's cap fits into Edmonton's plans right now - they've only got about $15M in cap space and need to figure out their goalie situation and fill out their D depth before taking that plunge. not saying it's a bad move but not sure if it's a top priority for them.

-gonna defer to the Stars fans in here - I think that Petry makes sense for Dallas if they move on from Klingberg but i agree that a 2023 1st is a hefty price to pay. I think that you have to set your sights a little lower, or hang onto Petry.

-in a vacuum the value is fine on the Beauvillier-Dvorak trade but the Islanders aren't going to trade for another center when they already have Barzal-Nelson-JG Pageau-Cizikas with multiple years of team control left. Their main need forward-wise is on the wings, so trading one to get another center isn't really a move I can see them making.

-the Sabres already have a handful of young goalies with more potential than Montembault - I feel like they're going to be looking for a more solid/established guy if they're moving out assets for an upgrade in net.
