Habs trading their first cannot happen. Like you said could be the first overall. And the draft is in Montreal

still crazy to me how so many people on the worst team in the league are worth so much

Detroit declines,

How would you get a first for Weber?

Congratulations! Your work has been entered into the fantasia AGM contest. Exactly none of this comes close to happening.

Detroit says no thanks.

ive seen worse fanfic

Yup every team says thanks but no thanks.

Only trade that has real chance other than the AZ picks thing bergevin negotiated is maybe Kulak

Well, that's one way to remove Stevie Yzerman as the scourge of other GMs: make him die laughing.

So you think you’re going to get completely bailed out of cap hell and Weber’s contract, and for that favor, you get a 1st? In what world does that make sense?

Not saying any of these trades would happen but in reality GMs/coaches don’t judge off of one season .. it would be the same as me saying every maple leafs player has negative value going into playoffs because they always disappear come playoff time 😉

ok, but how about all the ones who have been bad for years on a team that would be on a 5 year no playoffs run before this season if covid wasnt a thing?

It’s what happens when the team is built around an allstar goalie who has had multiple injuries over the years .. all I know is that there’s regular season players and playoff players .. People don’t seem to understand the difference now a days

except that if your players are still terrible in the playoffs and get carried by a goaltender going full haunted by the ghost of patrick roy for 20ish games they are still bad. People dont seem to understand the difference now a days

They very well might but it would be Nashville bailing them out. Weber has 4yrs left on his contract and the recapture penalty would be between $6M and $4M per season.

They are a playoff team so do you give up the 1st or subtract between $6M to $4M from you salary cap for the next 4 seasons?

You're assuming he walks away from millions of dollars

So same thing with Columbus the year before and Boston years before that?? You just keep living in the regular season era!

They had to be messing us Detroit fans because no one can honestly think thats a fair trade,

Nah Columbus had good players and a good goalie

That is true but if he retired after this season he is only owed $6M total, next season he is owed $3M and then it's $1M a season for the remaining 3 seasons

So now it comes out DD reads Twilight fanfic🤪
