Sujet: Trying out Pietrangelo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RClay321</b></div><div>You're delusional, the Habs will be better than the Leafs next year. especially with the roster you just put up. They have better defense and goaltending, have a pretty good young forward core and still have more cap space than Toronto. Also, Tampa is not getting gutted, both Sergachev and Cirelli will take a bridge deal to stay in Tampa</div></div>

Montreal was something like 13 points out of the playoffs and are not younger, deeper or remotely as talented up front as TO. Matthews, JT, Marner and Nylander are all better than any forward Montreal has. Defensively, Rielly and Muzzin are both better and younger than, Weber and Petry and after those two Montreal has nothing special. Montreal could make the playoffs and win a round if they play a slow team but they lack the guns to do anything. That is just insanity to think they are better than Toronto. Who finished well ahead despite having an awfully injury plagued year.

Sujet: Oilers Recover 2020 Draft Picks and Change DampG
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>anduril</b></div><div>Because there’s rumoured interest in him. Honestly I don’t mind if the Oilers basically stand pat this year. Downsides to all these trades imo with the exception of the Klefbom deal which I know is a win for the Oilers but the premise is that STL wants to keep Pietrangelo, which actually recent reports suggest they are not so committed to doing.</div></div>

Dubas does not have interest in Larsson. It's been speculation for years but has never happened. Why? Because Larsson is not remotely close to what the team needs. They don't need a ****ty stay at home guy who can't move the puck or really do anything except block shots and hit people because he's too slow and unskilled to do anything else. They need two way guys. Guys like Klefbom, Larsson sucks.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RClay321</b></div><div>Your total forward core is downgraded from what it was this year along with the goalie. Peitrangelo helps, however you have no money to address your 3C position like you want. Regardless, playing with 2 good lines isn't going to make the playoffs. Tampa, Boston, and Montreal should finish ahead of Toronto (with this team) leaving them fighting for a wildcard spot with Carolina, Isles, Columbus, and Rangers (maybe Flordia).</div></div>

That's an awfully pessimistic outlook. Montreal isn't going to be better than TO. Tampa is getting gutted this summer and Bergeron and Krejci are another year older, they won't stave off the decline much longer. There is literally one forward position that is worrisome and that is 3C. Engval can play the position well but his FO's are terrible, if he figures that out and Malhotra will absolutely help in that regard. It could be good enough. And the defence has the potential to be great or if the young guys take steps, utterly fantastic.

Sujet: all Hoffman costs is money
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>I disagree that Leddy is a cap dump but everything else you said was spot on, what else I think is lost by many on this site is soooo few teams have any cap space as it is, even if the cap had gone up by a couple million it still would've been pretty tight for a lot of teams, now tack on a flat cap and an internal cap for what's sounding like half the league it has me thinking that all the movement we think will occur might not happen.

A wise GM with cap space and an owner that's willing to use it should be able to collect some nice assets for taking some dead weight off of teams hands that need to open up cap space.</div></div>

It's hard to say. If I was a GM on a team with space, I'd convince my owner to let me either offer sheet or just demand insane packages for any cap dump. Oh you want to trade Boychuck? I want Walhstrom, a 1st and a second for a 7th. Tampa, The Islanders, The Rangers, Edmonton, Vancouver, those are just a few teams that look like they have to cut costs. I am not sure there are 5 teams with space and the want to use it. Ottawa for example could just hold teams ransom and try to get young RFA's instead and force teams to hold onto older players
