Sujet: Too Slow on the Back End and Small up Front
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mv21227</b></div><div>We’re really saying closer to home for a player from Europe? Are the Habs really better managed/coached? Is Montreal really a better city to play in than Vancouver?

Canucks have better players, a strong history with Swedish players, a better city to play and live in, and he wouldn’t be criticized for not being able to speak French</div></div>

Look at the turnover from the coaching situation, it's ridiculous. Like how is that even something you are debating this with how we saw how badly the Vancouver management screwed over Bruce. As well as completely mismanaging the Horvat situation. Even just the vibes of the team/enjoyment of playing for the team are way in Montreal's favour, on one hand you have a team that has JT Miller who is one of the most outwardly toxic players in the game, with the only person that was keeping him in check being traded away. On the other you have a team of young guys being coached by a legend of the game as a coach who has been loved by the players. It is true that he doesn't speak french, but you know who also doesn't speak french? Caufield, and it is unanimous love that he gets from the fanbase. In terms of your players, you have Hughes and Miller, that is your entire team that isn't Pettersson (Andrei Kuzmenko's regression from a 27.4% shooting% will be interesting to watch, it's like the Norris situation on steroids) and there is almost no one coming up the pipeline, as Vancouver has a unanimously garbage prospect pool.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mv21227</b></div><div>If Petey won’t sign long term in Vancouver what makes you so sure he would with a much worse team in Montreal?</div></div>

Cause Montreal is going in a much better direction then Vancouver, Vancouver has one of the worst prospect pools with a less then stellar looking future in general, while Montreal has a decent pool with much more improvement from players on the roster on the horizon. Also I would 100% take the current Montreal roster over the current Vancouver roster without Pettersson.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that he is sure fire to want to go to Montreal, but there are definitely reasons why Montreal would be much better for a player that is on the early side of his prime.

Sujet: Col - Mtl Getting goalie depth
For MTL, it helps in 2 different ways. They get a few mid round picks for a player they got for essentially free, as well as this would put them under the threshold of putting Carey Price on regular season LTIR. Which basically means they would now have 10.5 million (roughly, closer to 9 mil with the players they would need to send down then call up for the move to work) to make deals. They were able to get a first from Calgary for 6 mil, so it would be interesting to see what KH would be able to do with 1 retention slot and roughly 9-10 million in space to take bad contracts.

For COL, they get a goalie who has been a good backup on a bad defensive team in the 0.912-0.914 range for a few years at a very reasonable caphit. Obviously it's not Ideal to have to get a backup to replace your starter temporarily, but there are very few options that aren't going to be much more expensive. Some people might get upset from the off ice stuff from 9 years ago (I believe, not 100% sure though), but in a pure hockey sense, it's probably one of their best options in terms of benefit vs cost.

Overall, I'd say Montreal is playing with house money, as long as they don't retain and get some pick or player they can flip in return, it's free assets. While Colorado gets what they need while they find out what is up with Francouz with a reasonable price and cap. So I would call it even.
