<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ht42</b></div><div>If Kent Hughes isn't able to trade the Jets pick during the Draft, I can see Hughes trading it a make that trade latter in the offseason.

Don't forget the 50 players roster and you can't have more than 23 players on the NHL roster (and don't said that sending Dvorack to the AHL is a good idea.............)</div></div>

Well we have 46 contract and you don't have to give an ELC to players rigth away. Moreover, some ELC will expire and you can always move some contracts if they don't have a high cap space.

This is terrible asset management.

You trade 2 first round pick 1 for 1.... then you add Barron, Dvorak (1 year left at a cap we can afford), 2024 2nd round pick (COL), 2024 7th round pick (WSH), 2025 4th round pick (DET)

Dvorak will not cost Barron, a 2nd and a first to Dump... and if its the case, we'll just keep him and let his deal expire - have have 20M$ in cap space and roster space. You can just WAIT a year and keep all these assets. Dvorak will play on the 3rd or 4th line.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>In my personal opinion, this approach is too cautious like what Ottawa, Buffalo, Anaheim, Edmonton and Arizona have done for years. It's good to get fully loaded with prospects and have a deep pool but eventually you have to turn the corner and move into contention. Suzuki will be 25 heading into next season, Caufield, Dach, Newhook and Guhle will all be 22-24, we need them to start playing meaningful games down the stretch, if they make the playoffs its even better for their development as a team</div></div>

I agree, but the assets I mentionned (The WPG pick, the second round picks, the two 2025 first round picks, as well as the pick we will get for Barron, Harris, Matheson, Savard (so maybe two extra first round pick and a 2nd/3rd round pick), can all be used to pick up a decent RFA or notable "unhappy player".

Rather than wait in 2027 - I would love to see the habs acquire a Necas, Zegras, Jarvis, Quinn, Peterka, Wyatt Johnston, Rossi, Dylan Guenther (AKA a good top 6 RFA) - It just has to make sense in term of price.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Don't get me wrong, I love the look of this lineup however hedging all your bets into this many unproven young guys is very risky. I personally do not see any of Mesar, Tuch, Kapanen, Konyushkov, Engstrom or Barron as part of the Habs future lineup. I also am very hesitant to say that Dach can remain healthy enough to be considered to be part of the Habs future lineup. I do love the Iginla pick though if the top 4 are the way you have laid out. I also really love the goaltending and other 5 D corps picks, I hope we can find another Xhekaj type of D man for the 3rd pairing to make this a really tough D to play against.</div></div>

We'll have other prospect by then as well! Namely The WPG pick, the second round picks, the two 2025 first round picks, as well as the pick we will get for Barron, Harris, Matheson, Savard (so maybe two extra first round pick and a 2nd/3rd round pick) .


So, while I agreed that Mesar, Tuch, Kapanen, Konyushkov Engstrom or Barron are big question marks and that Harris and Barron are likely to be shipped out this year or the next, the potential trades and draft pick will 100% change the look of this team in the bottom six anyway.

Like - pretty sure we will get another top 15 picks next year that could end-up being another Caufield - this management has also done VERY well so far with later picks.

I don't think Dach is more injury prone that other... just terribly unlucky. What he showed last year was very encouraging and he had the best metrics offensively AND defensively of any forward on the team. And he is 23, so plenty of runway still!

This line-up is more a look in 2027:

Slaf - Suzuki - 2024 first round pick

Caufield - Dach - 2025 first round pick

X - Beck - X

X - X - X

while the D core will likely have Guhle, Hutson, Reinbacher and Xhekaj as the "core" .

Sujet: Mr Molson Please Buy The Sabres And Trade TT To The Habs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>So let me get this straight: Lindstrom gets so injured in his draft year he has to miss half the season and you want to draft him. TT has a back injury that he plays through, and you are gonna lower your expectations on his value.

Isn't that a double-standard?

A giant gets a traumatic injury in junior affecting his stats. All good.

An NHL center playing against the Best 25% of players in the best league in the world gets a traumatic injury and plays through it albeit earning lower stats. He's over-rated!</div></div>

Well I did not know about his back injury - and I think TT is really good - but the price to get him (more expensive than your package) might not be worth it.
