<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CBA</b></div><div>No ones like Armia, but he will probably go unclaimed, and he will play in Laval. He is under contract with the team, if there’s injuries he’ll get recalled.

MTL ARE carrying 3 goalies, today was the last day to submit players through waivers

Pezzetta Ylönen &amp; Primeau made the team

Caufield-Suzuki-RHP
Monahan-Dach-Slaf
Pearson-Newhook-Anderson
Pezzetta-Evans-Gallagher
Ylönen

Guhle-Savard
Matheson-Kovacevic
Xhekaj-Harris
Norlinder (probably)

Montembeault
Allen
Primeau

So stop with your nonsense</div></div>

Incorrect...teams have till Monday at 5pm for final rosters.

After Armia and Lindstrom today we still.have 25.

IMO Norlinder stays over Barron. You carry 2 extra forwards typically over two D. Barron doesn't need waivers.

Which means one of Heineman, Ylonen and Primeau has to go.

Heineman is the only one who doesn't need waivers so it's likely he gets papered down but stays. He's earned a spot.

Gotta think Hughes is trying to play his cards right so he doesn't lose Primeau for nothing. There is no way the run with three goalies. It is NONSENSE. I can't imagine anyone would claim Primeau with multiple better goalies on the waiver line (Jones, Stolarz, Luhhkonen) but who knows.

Three goalies is definitely nonsense. It doesn't last longer than a day.

Sujet: Trade deadline and draft see you at camp
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Howie</b></div><div>Lol they don't 😆

Turcotte is not what he was when he was drafted and still in the ahl not a lot of value rather have something else that has more upside. Dvorak would be a 2c how has that worked for him so far huh? He is a 3c that is overpaid and would be below Lowry so he is not of interest unless he's more of an add on if the deal didn't have a roster player. Strubble does nothing for us as he's unsigned and may not even sign with us. Mind you he isn't a player that fits any needs.
Recap 5th overall pick that has done nothing up to this point and the chance he becomes a top 6 player is fading.
Dvorak who is basically a nothing asset for us at a large cap hit (rather play lucius or lambert at 2c before Dvorak lol)
Strubble who is unsigned and fits no needs
You question why we would decline and it's simply not enough and not a need in any sense of it</div></div>

Fair points. If the Dubois MTL romance is a real thing and the draft is a likely scenario what would WPG be looking for then? WPG isn't really trading from a position of strength either. It's almost like moving a player with a no movement clause. Teams knowing Dubois only wants to play in a certain place. Can't really drive up the bidding war price. Almost have to settle with what you can get.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>Better off giving Drouin's roster spot to a fresh face.

Monahan can be traded for a conditional pick to mitigate the injury risk. 1st/2nd if it works out, 3rd/4th if it doesn't.
Rights would be a low chance of a taker. He's likely going to sign for money/term or pick his destination on a redemption contract regardless of who he's with.</div></div>

So you think you just let him loose for nothing? We ll have all kinds of cap space next year. Sign him for 1-2M. He has to earn the roster spot, if he doesn't no big deal, put him in the press box or on waivers. If he plays great awesome. We have an asset to use. Potential is there when he plays. Problem is he is never playing. I can see cutting him loose for cap space, but that won't be an issue. No risk signing him on a prove it deal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>-Edmonton declines. Do Habs fans even look at Jake Allen's numbers? He's got an .892 SV% and a 3.52 GAA; Campbell, meanwhile, the man who's struggling enough to get dumped four months into a 5-year deal, is at .883 and 3.43. Do you think that's enough of an "upgrade" to justify the rest of the package that the Oilers are giving up here? I can see a fit for Edmundson, maybe, but swapping Armia and JP is basically making Pool Party 5 years older and giving him two more years of term, so it actively makes the Oilers worse now *and* in the future. Oilers pass on this package but keep you on the phone to figure out how to make Edmundson work.

-To combine the next two - Dadonov and Drouin are both offense-first forwards that aren't offering all that much offense this year. The only way I see the Canadians getting value for them is retaining the full 50%, sending out a pick to a third team to get the extra retention, and getting an asset back from the contender for the double-retained Dadonov or Drouin. Otherwise, they're playing out the string with you - I can't see a world where Dallas or Winnipeg gives you any sort of positive asset for taking back those contracts at full cost.

-Minnesota is an awful spot for Hoffman - they've currently got $9.3M in cap space next year with only 8 F, 5 D, and 1 G under contract. Adding Hoffman makes that $4.8M in cap space to sign at least 3 forwards, a defenseman, and a backup goalie just to be able to ice a normal team - it's just terrible cap management to add Hoffman, especially when his main draw is his goalscoring ability and he's only got 7 of those in 30 GP this year (a 19 goals/82 GP pace.)

-Wideman for a 4th is a "sure, whatever" move. Probably a little higher than he's worth but I'm not gonna split hairs on 4th vs 5th round values.

-This trade is absolutely abysmal for Buffalo. Not only are they giving up their #1 goalie prospect in Levi, you expect them to throw in a 2nd rounder this year to get back David Savard??? They already have Rasmus Dahlin, Henri Jokiharju, and Ilya Lyubushkin signed through next year for their RHD depth chart - so why are they giving up multiple premium assets for a 32 year old Savard? Easy no from the Sabres.

-See the Wideman trade, sure whatever to this.

-No from Colorado. Monahan hasn't played in 6 weeks, there's no way they're going to give up a solid 22 year old with tons of team control left for a rental - and unless Monahan is taking an extremely-team friendly deal, that's all he's going to be. Colorado has only $12.4M left in cap space for next season and needs to re-sign or replace a ton of players - even if you assume that Monahan settles for a decent pay cut down to a $4M AAV, that means they'll have $8.4M in space with only 7 forwards signed, with Bowen Byram needing a new deal, and with something needing to be figured out for your third pair on D. Again, bad asset management for a team that should be looking for more budget-friendly players (like, I dunno, maybe Alex Newhook?)</div></div>

Yes. Fantastic analysis. Truly appreciate you picking apart the trades. Great perspective. I do think Allen is an upgrade over Campbell. Edmonton gets out of a long term contract mistake. Allen is equivalent in the short term. Habs can afford the contract with all the cap space they will have unloading all these vets. And they need avteran goalie for the next few years. Maybe Campbell bounces back otherwise Habs buy him out in a few years. Which they can afford as well. Maybe not the best cap management for MTL but Edmonton had to send cap back to get what was being sent. Edmonton is in win now mode and need D who can play and depth. I saw Edmonson, Allen and Armia as all upgrades and playoff performers that bring value this year and next. Montreal takes on some bad contracts from non contributors in return for picks and prospects. What do you suggest?

If you're Edmonton what are you looking for and how are you moving out cap to get it? D isn't their only need.

Agree on the Drouin and Dadonov points. They haven't put up the numbers but have shown flashes of good play. A playoff contender are more than certainly gonna put up a low pick for a skilled rental who can score or set up when playing with legit stars. With Drouins recent injury he's probably not even worth trading and we re better off signing him for 1.5 mil for one more season in hopes that he finally shows something worthwhile.

Fair enough on the Monaghan Newnhook deal. I keep seeing him linked to Colorado. He's definitely worth a first pick based on the start of his season and previous trade deadlines. Colorado does t have a first to give up, so what do you suggest they would trade for a decent second line center. Newhook was probably pushing it. Maybe a 1st round propsect in the system?

Monagahan injury doesn't help and he just went on LTIR today. So any dreams of trading for a first round pick or prospect probably just went out the window for Hughes.

Fair point in Hoffman and Minny. At this point I would send Hoffman anywhere to anyone who will take him for whatever we can get. Somebody must have a use for him?

What does it take to get Levi in your opinion?

Thanks for the dialogue.

Anderson with Suz and Caufield should be a given. They are gonna need someone out there to make some space for them and protect them.

Dvorak will be 2nd line center. Book it.

Dach - who can't take faceoffs plays with Monaghan or Evans - who can. All can play wing or center

Hoffman gets traded before he ever goes to the 4th line. He's in the top nine or he's not on the team.

Drouin or Dadonov with Dvorak Gallagher is an ideal second line. Reminiscent of the Tatar, Danault Gally glory days.

I like Slavkovsky with Evans and Armia. Imagine the puck possession with those two bodies and sneaky guy like Evans as your fourth line.

Guhle makes the team over Xhejak

Pezzetta can't be sent down without losing him to waivers. He's on the team.

What I love about the lineup though is the multiple line combinations that can be made. There is alot of talent up front. Whoever is going is gonna play and everyone is gonna play with everyone.

Gonna be fun to watch and will surprise a lot of teams.
