Sujet: Since Hab fans are trying to trade Mona
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McRanteskog</b></div><div>Then just resign him then.

Seeing as he is only months removed from being a complete cap dump and has “shined” playing in only a handful of games, playing an increased role, on a lineup that projects to be near the bottom, asking for this level of return is an overreaction on many levels.</div></div>

Echoing this exactly. The sample size on Monahan being good again is so small. I hope he’s back as a productive NHLer. But realistically, he needs to be near a PPG player at the trade deadline to command a return including a 2023 first. And if that’s the case, Montreal is probably having a better season than we all expected and fighting for a spot on the playoff bubble.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bradshaw97</b></div><div>I get it if you aren’t a fan of the Avs so you don’t watch Girard on a regular basis, everyone seems to remember him getting run through the boards by Barbashev and thus equating that to he can’t hang.. but come on.. this is a top 4 defenseman that’s had votes for Norris in years prior and is locked in until ‘27, Avs are not “cash-strapped” they have 3.9 mil left this year and EJ 6mil and comphers 3.5 mil will come off the books next summer, plenty of room for Mack’s deal with others included. I do like the idea of a Girard trade for a 2C but I don’t know if Dvorak is that fit</div></div>

Yeah, Dvorak is a great #3 C on a championship team. If youre acquiring him to be the 2C, there's going to be a problem

You need to decide if WPG is competing still or rebuilding. If they are competing then assets like Dvorak make sense but not prospects and picks. Vice versa if they are rebuilding. You need to figure out the other teams needs and make a deal that helps both sides accomplish what they want. Even if lets say Dvorak + 1st isn't too far off from what a rental usually would be you could likely find something better.

Same problem with the 2nd deal. Colorado is in win now mode. Prospects and Picks are useless to them. While Girard makes all the sense in the world for MTL at this point, they don't really have anything that makes sense for Colorado. "They need cap space" isn't a real argument imo. It can show why a player might be available but the trade still needs to make sense

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>qwertymann</b></div><div>Im not making any argument or the sort, brother. You said VAN would be lucky to get Girard for Horvat, straight up. Directly, after saying the VAN fan base was overvaluing its player. Using a convoluted trade from the past that has nothing to do with the 1-for-1 you brought up is weird. The burden-of-proof is on you to support your claim that Girard is more valuable than Horvat (because VAN would be "lucky" to swap players).</div></div>

Haha fair enough. I disagree with the fact that the Kadri trade has nothing to do with this one since Horvat and Kadri are nearly identical in many respects, but hey, your call.

<strong>Comparable Center Trades: </strong>
2021: Sam Reinhart to Florida for Devon Levi &amp; a 1st to Buffalo (signing rights)
2021: Pavel Buchnevich to St. Louis for Sammy Blais &amp; a 2nd to New York (signing rights)

Given that Horvat has one year left on his deal, let's argue he's valued at a blue chip prospect and a low-first/high second.

<strong>Comparable Defense Trades: </strong>
2022: Ben Chiarot (pending UFA) to Florida for Ty Smilanic, a '23 1st, and a '22 4th
2021: Seth Jones (1 year remaining), '21 1st, and '22 6th to Chicago for Adam Boqvist, '21 1st, '21 2nd, and a '22 1st to Columbus

Now one could argue Seth Jones is more valuable that he plays on the right side (which Girard is capable of), but given Girard's term, let's say his value is somewhere between Chiarot and Jones.

Feel like that's a fair review of the respective values, no?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jedihonesy</b></div><div>we want RHD that aren't small and can play shutdown too. Marin Kaut is 22 and hasn't made the NHL yet. 1st will be late too. This doesn't do it for Horvat because it doesn't fit our needs at all. If u want Horvat ur sending us Newhook or Byram and a 1st since we can sign him next year and there's no pressure to move him. You could try and get Miller without paying as much since he is older and maybe we cant sign him, but u won't be able to sign him either so its a pure rental. But the avs roster would be really good with miller at 2C. It would probably be worth it to get Miller cause avs will probably win the cup again and then new hook will be ready for 2C the year after</div></div>

Is it just common for Canadian fan bases to overrate their players? Genuine question here. I find that it's predominantly isolated to the Habs and Leafs bases, but you thinking that one year of Horvat would get you Byram or Newhook is asinine to me.

There is no chance we’d get Byram, let alone Byram and a 1st. I could maybe see Newhook getting moved but even that seems unlikely. Canucks and Avs aren’t really good trade partners after the Avs moved Barron/Helleson though

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jedihonesy</b></div><div>ok but do u not think lindholm is worth a package of that caliber?</div></div>

Byram Newhook and a 1st, helll no. Byram is a beast plain and simple and unless you are getting a top 10 player in the world it’s already an overpay. Lindholm is nice don’t get me wrong but where is that production when it matters most in the playoffs? What do his numbers do not getting 1st line minutes and PP1 minutes when he goes to a place like COL. I mean you’re talking about a top pairing quality dman right now at 21, a 21yr old kid that has 2C and 60pt potential and is already a 30pt 3C, and a 1st rd pick for a guy 27yr old UFA in 2 years that is your 2C, arguably ends up being only your 4th best forward for that. Easy no, COL is SIGNIFICANTLY better off force feeding Newhook the 2C spot than doing an awful trade like that.
