Sujet: Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>Yeah, new GM's don't do **** because they take time to do their own personnel evaluations before making any significative move. And this offer is under Newhook's price when it should be way over.

Please don't generalize fanbases. There is more Habs fans around here, so more chances to get bad ideas. As a Habs fan myself, I've got more blocked people from my omn fanbase than any others. Buffalo is close 2nd because Eichel wasn't worth 5x1st...

Would be easy to generalise Columbus fans if I see one bad idea, since you guys are like 3 in total. Cheers ;)</div></div>
Why be that nice to him, he's just being salty from the get go. The higher non Montreal pick could be around later teens/early 20s along with a 2nd for someone that's still(was) passing time in the AHL on a bottom 5 league roster. He's a good player thus why I'd trade for him but he ain't no superstar in the making either. Also changing agents early in a contract year... Wondering what's coming for him.

Sujet: habs fan who should we draft with our top 10 pick read bio
Guhle has developped well and is much likely to become a top pairing guy in the near future. Who else other than him can be pegged as a top pair all around defenseman to pair with? All our eggs are in the same basket to have another stud on our blueline but what if Reinbacher doesn't progress as much as expected? Hutson and Mailloux are more likely to become bottom 4 guys on a contending team as offensive specialists more than anything so I'm not against picking up another top dman prospect if he's your top guy on your board.
In a world where the draft goes down like the DobberProspects rankings go (Celebrini, Demidov, Catton, Lindstrom and Buium selected top 5) and we're sitting there at 6OA, are we reaching for a forward or taking one top defender left on there? Parrekh has the toolkit to become the next Makar.

Sujet: Monahan much value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>I’m concerned you will dismiss my opinion because I’m a Canes fan and don’t know what I’m taking about…

I’d like to understand why this is a ‘sellers market’ and why you think the market is going to go ‘gazoo’. Why do you think this?

Lindholm’s return was huge but it’s not going to be indicative of the rest of the deals coming. This silly Monahan thing has morphed from him ‘maybe’ getting a first to him reeling in a 1st plus. It’s like overnight Monahan’s ceiling and floor were turned upside down.</div></div>
To be fair it's fairly likely we're in a "seller's" year considering 18 teams have a better than 35% odds of making the playoffs, add NJ, MIN and Arizona that doesn't have much to sell you're left with about 10 teams willing to sell some or all assets. 18/19 potential buyers, 3/4 out of the market teams, 10 potential, we're in a sellers market.
At the end of the day that's what the NHL is looking for, more teams still in the mix by TDL means more fans are still steadily watching games so it explains the more often than not seller market we find ourselves in.

Trades like this one will never happen doe, no chance.
