Why send that when you could just offer sheet him at the same price for a 2nd?

Depends who’s there but I think Drury should take it

Drury says no thanks.

I like that NYR deal, but I think they only do that if Lafreniere requests a trade either publicly or privately.

Every other move makes sense except for the term on bringing back Schenn.

can bury contract in minor if it comes to it

Habs aren't taking on Myers' contract for Rathbone. Nothing against the young defenseman, but we already have all the LHD we need.

Pens decline. Pettersson is not available.

I hope you'll enjoy this for a year. When Arizona improves in a year, a trade of Panarin frees the money for an offer sheet for Petterson. With new picks, the cap hit will be tucked in and Allvin will have provided the means to complete it.

No chance habs take that trade

That's fair maybe a late pick or a different prospect. Habs make sense to me for Myers as they could use some help on RHD and while Myers isn't great he can eat minutes and they can flip him at the deadline.

No way you can confidently say that without Pittsburgh even having a management team in place yet.

Ya the idea behind the Schenn deal is it's 100% burriable in the minors but it's a bit of a reward for Schenn for his loyalty and leadership over the years.

I agree the laf deal only happens if NYR or Laf decide they would like to explore a change of scenery. It would open a bit of cap room for NYR and they will get a good prospect at 11.

Considering how they only have 1 LD signed outside of Pettersson for next season and it's just a second year 3rd pairing guy, yah Pettersson is off limits.

You don't know how much turnover is going to happen this offseason and what will be prioritized.

It's idiotic to say a guy that has bounced between 3rd and 2nd pair minutes the last 3 seasons is off limits.

No to the deal. Pens will keep the Dman who became a very solid top pairing partner to Letang last season.

It's still $6.0m. Capspace is being sold at premium in this league. You want to ship $6.0m to us, it'll cost a protected 1st (just like Monahan).

Lol you are a clown. Can't stand people that aren't even willing to have a conversation on forums. Fckn pointless.

Canucks won't move a 1st to get off of him. Worst case scenario they just hang on to him and let the deal expire or trade him for a positive return at the deadline.

I get where you're coming from though. I think there will be some interest in him around the league for less than a 1st. Probably involves taking salary back.

Yeah, if they can afford it, Canucks are better off holding onto Myers until the deadline, where the market for him should be a lot different. Habs have too many players in that same situation already.

Just did. I’ll do it again. Pens decline. Pettersson is not available.
