How could a team know he was gonna score 150? It add to his value, cuz he probed he can do it

Because he scored at that exact same pace 2 years earlier

You watched one game with a bad line change and you figured out Nemec? Aren't Habs fans the group who are supposed to get it? Or is homerism that bad up north?

Eye test comfirmed Nemec is awful defensively… analytics too. Guhle doesn’t abandon the guy with the puck in an odd man rush. Guhle doesn’t create tons of bad defensive play. We have Barron for that

I watched 15 of Nemec games and he wasn’t really good in any of them

And he didn’t achieve it. Having a certain pace is a thing. Achieving 150 pts is another.

Still let pass Slaf for a goal

Great play by Caufield on that.

Slaf is also very good. Hence why I offered Holtz+1st for Slaf.

Actually produces 5v5, big body, pedigree, young. I like him a lot

But hey slaf finally passed Nemec in points since Nemec came up. (scratch that nemec had another point tonight).

Still behind nemec in PPG this year tho. Don't worry he only needs 4 points next game to catch up.

Anaytics are a fair bit behind still tho

Start with Mercer + 1st if you want to talk about Slef or Hishier 1vs1 ! Stop downgrading our top prospect or the active top list rental players like Monahan.

There's no combination of assets montreal has that would be worth Nico.

I'd do Mercer 1 for 1 for Slaf. maybe add a 3rd. Unfortunately you burned an ELC year for no reason last year which takes away a fair amount of his value. Should have let him slide

Monahan I simply don't think is a very good hockey player. I think if it was 2005 he'd get a haul, but in today's game I think most teams are too smart to fall for a guy simply existing on a below average power play for a lot of time.

Again, go fleece the rangers. I'd be very happy to see the rangers pay for point totals once again like they did with Tarasenko and Kane

Oh now ELC slide cost a price ... what a bullcrap is that ... geez and we're the one homer or lunatics ... LOL yeah keep dreaming kiddo

What?! Nemec has been unreal defensively.

What you think or expect is not MARKET VALUE .... and yet you guys pretend to know how to negotiate.

Yes. Burning a year of the cheapest contract a player will ever have lowers his value.

Let's compare Nemec vs Slaf

Nemec: 900k, 900k, 900k, RFA, RFA, RFA, RFA
Slaf: 900k, 900k, RFA, RFA, RFA, RFA, UFA

Let's assume they get the same RFA deals.

I doubt Slaf when he hits UFA gets less than 900k

Again, if a team can be convinced to buy monahan, good for you.

It won't be Jersey

On the flip side…while the slide moves the first RFA, it doesn’t delay the first arb. So there is an argument, for the top top guys (like Nemec, not Slaf) to get ‘em inked long term early.

If they are going to get max term…$8m+ at age 21…they are probably getting more at age 23.

Depends on the situation you're in.

NJD is trying to compete in these 3 years. For us I'd rather have the extra ELC year.
Montreal isn't, so they may rather reduce the long term cost.

Of course. For top guys…i.e, getting Jack and Nico at $15m…vs facing what Vancouver now has to Pettersson

Florida immediately rejects. Lundell is too important for us to trade.

Far better than alphabet soup or whatever you call that goon up there. But go head and believe whatever u want.

All PlayStation trades. Time to get some sun.

Holtz has more 5v5 points by anyone on Montreal and it isn’t even close.

Then why does he keep eating hotdogs in the pressbox?

He’s played in every single game
