Description

Expansion draft - Vegas selects Davidson, makes sense.

MTL / WPG trade

Perreault and Plekanec similar players (size, offense, defense). But Perreault has 4 years years left at a $4.1mil cap hit! Wpg will be looking to move his salary. Plekanec has a bigger cap hit, $6mil, but is a UFA so Wpg happily use their cap space muscle to lose Perreault...Win for Wpg.
Lowry for MTL is a young big center who has already proven that he can take faceoffs (MTL desperately need this), but he shows average offense. Beaulieu for WPG is a left shooting young NHL ready D-man. The jets don't have anybody puck movers on the left side asides from Enstrom who is as far as I can tell, done.... WIn for both teams with a slight edge to Wpg.
Connor and Scherbak are both high skill forwards that have yet to have a chance in the NHL. Connor has the edge in this deal since he's shown more consistency... Win for MTL

MTL / ANA trade

ANA need more scoring, Galchenyuk is the answer. that's all he does. Chuky can one-time pucks like no tomorrow, and I'm sure the Ducks will have no problem teaching him defense.
MTL need a #1 center! ..... I doubt ANA moves Getzlaf or Kesler lol. MTL needs a left shooting puck moving Defensemen who can play with Weber! Lindholm? Ducks say no. Fowler? I think they say yes! (I hope).... A win for both teams

MTL / CGY trade

At 25th overall I'm pretty sure all the decent center prospect will be picked clean. Of all the teams a few spots up of MTL, I think CGY would be willing to move down for an additional pick.

MTL / CHI trade

I kind of see this as 2 trades in 1. Anisimov for Shaw makes sense, MTL need Centers , Anisimov is big and has good offensive skill (something MTL doesn't have at Center!), and Chicago really missed Shaw during the playoffs, a gritty forward that can move up to play play with Toews and do his dirty work (Toews got destroyed against Nashville) + CHI gains cap space!... Win for both teams
Hjalmarsson for Emelin, Juulsen, and a 2nd rd pick. first of all, Hjalmarsson is the best player here, Emelin can slot in his spot and is a UFA which makes him a movable asset if CHI wants more, Juulsen is a 1st rd pick D-man that the Hawks can use in their system, and the pick too. But the most help to CHI here is Cap space. When Emelin is gone, that's $4.1mil off the books (which is gold for the Hawks in the next couple of years).... Win for both teams

UFA signing

Everybody complained that MTL needed offense in the playoffs. (I agree) so go and sign a Veteran goal scorer with playoff experience. I would sign Justin Williams. Patrick Sharp could be another option!

Let me know what you guys think!

Hjarmallson has a NMC and I don't think he would waive it either.. NMC are a pretty delicate situation for a GM to handle and I don't think he'll be traded unless he wants out.

As for the Anaheim trade I think we just need to be patient, sergachev will be a 1st pairing D within the next 3 years. When he is, it would be nice to still have galchenyuk who will hopefully be signed to an affordable long term contract this offseason.

If montreal can trade up to get a valuable player in the draft that would be a good move.

WPG/MTL Trade:
The Perreault-Plekanec swap can work, though I'm not sure we even need that. It's a "meh" trade, to be honest. We don't need to free up 2m now to handcuff ourselves of 4m over 3 more years. As for the prospects, again "meh" in my opinion, but then again, I don't know much about WPG farm system, so you may be right.

ANA/MTL Trade:
Now we're in the eye opening territory. I'm not sure ANA would be willing to part with Fowler one-on-one like that, because they'll likely protect Bieksa(NMC)-Fowler-Lindholm. The person that will likely be lost to VGK for them is Vatanen, another great defenseman but just not yet at Fowler's level. So Vatanen for Galchenyuk? I personally think we don't need to give up THAT much for something they're going to lose anyway. Maybe Vatanen+2nd for Galchenyuk? I'd be down.

CAL/MTL Trade:
Sounds good to me! Not sure why CAL would rather move down to add a pick, but I'll trust your judgement on this one.

CHI/MTL Trade:
I really don't like this trade. Anisimov is a strong 3rd line center, but you're acquiring him as a 1st line center. Look at your center depth, it's weaker than what you started with. Shaw-Anisimov is OK with me, but plan to put Anisimov on 3rd line, just like Shaw. Only slightly improves the situation. As for Hjalmarsson, I think he's trending down, and that we need not give up Juulsen for something that won't really improve us. Our defense needed some improvement, sure, but you already accomplished that with Fowler.

VGK Expansion:
Personally, I doubt they would take Davidson over Hudon. In my Armchair-GM, I kept Emelin for VGK to pickup, adding a 2nd round pick as incentive.

On that note, I'd like to add that Hudon is NHL ready (and Sergachev isn't), and that he should already be on our lineup. I think you've weakened our LW, C positions, while strengthening LD, RD with Williams and Fowler.

Come comment on mine, a couple slots below yours! I think it's called "Bring Tavares" or something. Although god knows if we could ever succeed at such a trade.

Cap Friendly says that with Hjalmarsson NMC, he has to submits a 10-team trade list. You could hope MTL would be on that list lol

As for Sergachev, expecting him to be a 1st pairing D-man, even in 3 years is unrealistic. Everyone expected the same with Galchenyuk (he would become MTLs #1 C 2-3years after they drafted him), Chuky is coming up on his 6th year with the habs... I definitely don't want to trade Sergachev (let's see what we got first) But adding a guy like Fowler relieves the pressure for Sergachev to become what MTL wants him to be as soon as possible.

I think we'll agree to disagree with the CHI trade. I don't see Anisimov as #1 C, but he's at least an offensive player who can play with Rads and Patches (instead of Danault). And I think Hjarmallson is underrated in CHI, amazing shutdown D-man that's been playing in Keith and Seabrook's shadow his whole career.

I don't think anisimov is the answer, he has decent numbers but he is playing with 2 insanely talented players like kane and panarin, he wouldn't get that in montreal.

And sergachev is ready for 3rd Pair duties with some pp time next year IMO, then likely could be moved up to 2nd pair over the next 2 seasons and then realistically I could see him on the top pair by season 3 or 4.

Galchenyuk hit 1st line level in his 4th year after being drafted and carried it into the start of this season before being hurt. That's the same timeliness I expect from sergachev I don't think it's unrealistic.

A year ago I did some investigating into the development time of young players and it usually takes 4 years for a player to hit there stride. I did this because people were giving bergevin heat for not adding anything and supposedly "inheriting" his team.. however it takes time for drafted players to develop.. take lehkonen this year for example (it was his 4th year after being drafted).

And I totally agree that everyone expecting galchenyuk to be 1st C in 2-3 years was unrealistic (especially when he's more of a winger), but 4 years isn't that far off, his knee injury was a big setback this year he looked like he had the strength of a 15 year old. I hope he can bounce back next year and I expect he will.

I agree with you with Sergachev, that's why I put him on the 3rd paring, with Markov would preferable. MTL just can't rush him. As for Galchenyuk, I agree with you again! Chuky has developed into into a solid #1 LW or #2 LW on a top 5 team. that's really good, but not what MTL needs. The habs need top 6 centers (not just a #1, a #2 as well) and a 1st pairing D-man to play with Weber (and if your in a win now mode, because of Price, Weber, etc. you can't expect Sergachev to be that guy) wouldn't it make sense to move Chuky for something the team needs?

and FYI I would keep Galchenyuk honestly, But if you try to improve the roster right now, I think he would be expendable.

My gut feeling is montreal should stay patient, I'm not worried about trying to win now because that would mean montreal would have to give up a lot of future assets just to compete and even then it's not guaranteed they will win (Washington has had great teams every year and they can't get past the 2nd round). I'm not worried about weber I think he will be a solid player for another 5 years at least and I think montreal will extend price this summer as well. I think we already have our Dman of the future in sergachev and so I think for a team that needs offense we should be keeping galchenyuk who luckily can be resigned much cheaper than originally thought due to his struggles after being injured.

The only thing montreal needs to add in my opinion is a Center and the goal should be one this year and then another next year after plekanecs contract expires.

I actually think Sergachev will come along even faster than that under Julien, who wasn't afraid to play 19 year old Brandon Carlo on the first pairing with Chara all season long in Boston. Carlo's total minutes were kept at a reasonable level since he didn't get any time on the powerplay, but his even strength minutes were second only to Chara's. This is a good indication of the level of confidence Julien is willing to have in young players, even at defense (unlike Therrien). And a big point is that playing with a guy like Weber, who is similar in style to Chara, will make Sergachev's job a lot easier, and their styles should complement each other very nicely. In my opinion, barring a trade for someone like Fowler who would also be a great fit with Weber, I expect to see Sergachev on the first pair within the next 2 seasons.
