lmao what

A 2nd, the best C prospect in the WHL rn, and a third liner. Hmmm yeah I should be asking you what

Panik is a capdump, a late 2nd rd pick and who ? Lmao you want Domi you send your 2020 1st rd pick + Alexeyev but you don’t have the money to resign Domi

Do your research on Protas. You don’t watch hockey

He is good, but MTL have better center prospects in the pipeline and he still isnt elite enough to move the needle. GMs is right with what he said.

Why is Domi even available

Haha why did you have to bring the habs fans into it now. They think Domi is worth like 4 1st round picks and our top 5 prospects. Domi had 1 good season and he’s also a 50 point player (50-55). No need to dump major assets for a guy like Domi who will more than likely want Nylander money also. Just trade for lanbac. Great player who is willing to take a discount to win. Fits into that Connelly role without making waves in the top 6

Man would you trade Oshie for MTL 2nd + Paul Byron + Poelhing lmao

You want Domi? It starts with a 1st + Alexeyev/McMichael

No idea, its just something thats come up among Habs media since he isnt playing as well as last year.



Even a 50-55 point winger under RFA status is worth more then that package. Labanc would cost more then that to and is basically same value as Domi since he is likely not taking the same type of discount he did this year to win.

bias level over 9000

because it's periodic routine of the Habs media, as soon as a players isn't performing on par, time to push the trade rumour button. (I mean...he's still on pace having close to 50 pts season which is already better than Galchenyuk) I'll say the expectation of repeating the 70+ season is are too high for Domi. He was brought to Montreal to be 50 pts players and that imo that 70+ pt seaons was just a career year.

what? LOL
apparently Backman, Cozens, Krebs, and Zary don't exist now?

He might be the 5th best center prospect in the WHL....the WHL not the whole CHL and not all of hockey. the WHL.
put the pot down.

If I'm MTL I say yes

Pot and kettle. It’s cool you fan base glorifies Domi but I’m hardly willing to overpay when there’s better options out there for cheaper.one of the Top center prospect in the Whl and a 2nd would get more elsewhere

Domi isn’t a fit in WSH + you don’t have the money to resign him + are not welling to pay for him, we get it. But the post was made by a Caps fan with a poor offer. MTL won’t trade Domi for scraps, we’ll keep him but if a solid offer comes, Bergevin might accept Because we have alot of centers ( Danault Suzuki Domi Kotkaniemi Poehling ) prospect ( Evans Vejdemo Hillis J.Olofsson Ikonen )

Should have probably said “one of the best” but that being said Cozen is being glorified by Sabre’s fans and Protas is putting up similar numbers. Imo Beckman is a LW not a center (best player in the league though) but I’d say he’s easily top 3-8 in the league and top 3 center but it’s juniors. That being said he was amazing preseason/ camp. He has great size and that helps with making the jump to the nhl (not always but help to be 6’6 and not 5’11)

Capitals have some room assuming we don’t sign Holtby. So Holtby 6.1 is gone and Gudas cal is gone and we only need to sign Siegenthaler? I would double check that cap space comment. Imo habs fans would much rather have a solid dman since you are deep with centers so instead of saying this is a “poor offer” I’d say it’s just a bad fit. Habs don’t need centers capitals certainly don’t need more top 6 guys. We need more bottom 6 guys like Connellys that can make the most out of 11mjnutes a night. Other teams who need centers would be more willing to move a guy for this return. That’s just my take on this

You’ll need that money for a dman, you can’t sign Domi for 6M it just doesn’t make senses, we have Chiarot Mete Kulak for LHD right now and Romanov is coming next year, so you got your 3 Lhd in Chiarot Romanov Mete and Kulak 7th dman

Romanov 100% coming next year? He’s going to be a stud. And capitals have 2 guys in the Ahl that nhl ready we don’t need any money for dmen right now. Fehv is ready now and alexeyev is also ready to make the jump. Either way we can agree this trade doesn’t make sense for either team

Hey if we can get Protas to gain 40 pounds we can have a Dustin Byfuglien 2.0 haha

his knock is his burst.
He can't win short foot races. That comes with being 6'6
He won't be a top line center because of the lack of quickness, not necessarily speed. There is a difference. He projects as a botton 6 center.
Which is fine. But lets not confuse him for a top center prospect like he's going to be a 1A somewhere. He's not.

Might be able to develop him into a staal type shutdown guy?

I mean that is really what you want with a 6'6 center right. The words they use for guys like this are "hard to play against."
66" 67" stick long reach, takes up a lot of space. Good to park in front of the net if they can get into the ozone.
Or they become defense men like Burns did.
The kid has speed. If you are talking about a 200 foot race. He's not "slow" It's just hard for a big guy to move 30 feet or 40 feet and win that race. In a 10 foot area though they are helped by their reach.
Which is why they tend to be defender players.

I was hoping more for a coots type maybe with less offensive expectations. A guy who is quick but hard hitting on another teams top players

He's not quick. His speed looks decent but only once he's already moving. He's tall, I don't know if he's all that physical, He's not necessarily "big". He's skinny lanky. But he knows how to use his height in front of the net and his reach. He gets a lot of goals there because the other 17-20 year olds can't move him because they are like half his size and weigh like 160lbs.
There are highlights of him you can see what I mean. Problem is the competition he plays against isn't either A. big or B. overly fast. Which is true with most people coming out of the CHL. It's not like europe where they can play in the adult leagues and the competition is a little more filled out and grown.
But he doesn't have that quick short burst from what scouts have said and I think that's evident on the highlight reels. If he's not already moving he's not going anywhere with any kind of speed.
I think his big thing is he's years away. He will have to gain weight. He does not have what looks like an NHL frame. The more weight he gets, the slower he probably gets too. So you won't know what you got in him for another 2 years or so. Because he can't come in at 200 lbs being 6'6. He's got another 20lbs to gain.
He reminds me of Pavlychev a few years ago. Tall and lanky. After 2 years he's not 225-230lbs at 6'7 6'8 depending who lists him.
I think that's where he has to get. Similar in a lot of ways. Tall, long stride. Good skaters for their size. Have some straight line speed. But they aren't quick.
He probably has a bit more upside than Pav, but I think Pav is the more physical player. Helps he's got 30lbs and a few years on him though.
He is a good player don't get me wrong but he's not that guy, yet.
