Can't imagine the Habs moving Armia to a division rival. He's kind of stuck in a weird place where he's played good enough for teams to notice and want him but the Habs also kind of would rather keep him if the return would end up just being a 3rd or something. Like no one will overpay for him but it would have to be an overpay for the Habs to move him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SadSensFan14</b></div><div>He's spent time in the AHL while playing for Montreal, so he must not be that good. Way rather find literally anyone else to improve our scoring.</div></div>

Oct-Nov: you are right, he wasn't playing with enthusiasm and was an absolute drag on the team to the point of them sending him down to the AHL as a wake up call. He admitted to consulting with a mental coach to help get his game back to where it needed to be during his AHL stint. While sent down, immediately became the Laval rockets best player. Didn't sulk in the slightest and was a real pro about it. Got called backup and hasn't looked back. He's been engaged and playing some of the best hockey of his career and the stats reflect that.

So context matters. Players can go from cap dumps to valuable assets quite quickly nowadays. As mentioned above, I wouldn't pay the price the Habs would need for them to let him go but he certainly would be an attractive asset for teams who have actually watched him this year. He'd make an excellent 3rd/4th liner on a cup contender. There was a reason the Habs mgmt chose resigning him long term over Lehkonen at the time.

Sujet: NHL GMs should offer sheet
Lundell has to be willing to accept the OS also. This offer is like pretty much what he'll get from the Panthers when you factor taxes into it. So its an easy no for him. (Logically speaking)

Going to SJ to be a bottom dweller for the foreseeable future making slightly more money but more taxes OR stay on a perennial cup contender and make a little less money now maybe but more in the long term.... Can't even say the weather is better as a main factor either.

That's why if you do OS someone, the money has to be sooooo much more than the player deserves for them to realistically accept. Just like UFA's, you have to overpay.

Want Lundell? Offer minimum 6.5-7M. Panthers couldn't match and Its a significant overpay that would make any player think twice about. Problem is you better be confident Lundell is a top end player because everyone thought KK was going to be amazing in Carolina and we all know how that is turning out.

Sujet: Markstrom Hayes and trading down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>I see it as roughly

Tier I: Celebrini

Tier II: Levshunov, Demidov, Catton, Eiserman

Tier III: Buium, Connelly, Dickinson, Silayev, Lindstrom, Yakemchuk, Iginla, Helenius, Greentree, Brandsegg-Nygard, Boisvert, Parekh, Chernyshov, Jiricek

(A few of those guys bounce around between II and III)

So I would agree with SJS2212 in that the 6-15 range is a little similar and unless one of the top few fall, it could make some sense for NJD to move back and add an asset or two.

In the scenario above, they turned #10 pick into 3C, 4LW and still drafted Brandsegg Nygard (a guy that could have selected at #10). Most of our core is already built, thanks to years of high draft picks, so we mainly just have to address specific holes in lineup.

(Devils brass may have other plans…including trading the pick outright).</div></div>

Respectfully disagree with that tier 2 and 3. Having Jiricek in the same tier as guys like Buium and Parekh is.... a choice.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>I honestly don't hate this trade. Pulock is basically RD2 now with Dobson being a guy I can see getting a handful of Norris votes this year; if we can swap him out for a young, top-6 forward like Perfetti while also getting someone to backfill RD2 for a year, I think it's a good deal. I'd think about swapping Nate Schmidt instead of Pionk, for two reasons: first, hoping that it makes it appetizing enough to Winnipeg to drop the 3rd from the Isles side; second, I think Schmidt replicates what the Isles would be losing with Pulock better than Pionk does. But that's a minor quibble at this point.</div></div>

Im fairly certain, swapping Schmidt for Pionk would make WPG need to send you additional assets back, not just remove the 3rd. Its a pretty vast difference between Pionk's value and Schmidts. Whether or not he's the player that fits better.

Sujet: UFA vets to complete top 6
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jay27</b></div><div>Idk, Stammer is great and all but I just don’t think it’s a great idea to go out and spend 10.5 a year for the next 3 years on a guy who’s 34 years old. Also I know +\~ is an archaic stat and all but has anyone else noticed that he is a ~21 on a team that has a +25 goal differential?</div></div>

He's not what he used to be and that's fine. His value is his experience and leadership more than his scoring even though that's still pretty good. He's going to teach the young group how to win and what it takes to be excellent instead of just good. This is a young team about to get younger once some other vets leave and we're going to need that "guy" that everyone in the room respects, including Suzuki. They need someone to look up to whose been there and done that and Stammer would be the absolute best chance we have at someone like that. And frankly, the only reason we'd have even a slight chance at him is because of MSL.

Yes the Habs could use a legit weapon like Reinhart or whatever but truthfully we aint going to get anyone in their prime. But I think captain, cup winner, megastar, even at his age would do wonders for the core of this group which will be the ones that lead us to the promise land if we do.

Plus all the best options for the Habs are guys who are going to want long term contracts. If Habs draft a forward this year, we'll be absolutely stacked up front for the next decade almost. We need guys for the now and short term only. Since cap space is not an issue, we can afford to go high on a short term deal for a guy like Stammer. By the time we really need cap space, he'll be gone.
