Sujet: Meier
Meier would be amazing in MTL, the ideal player to put with Caufield IMO.

I wanted them to trade for him before he broke out (while the sharks were in turmoil with bad contracts). He would cost a lot right now, I don't think this is enough.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>it's basically a Tatar to Montreal add on, not really any value either way just cap purposes. BTW that was the basic model for my proposal, Patches at the time was 27 and returned Suzuki (1st) + 2nd + Tatar basically this package but I added a 3rd as well.</div></div>

Tatar &gt;&gt; Dadanov. Tatar was just acquired from Detroit by Vegas for a 1st, 2nd, &amp; 3rd... yes he was traded for cap purposes and he wasn't a fit in Vegas during their playoff run but Tatar still had real value unlike Dadanov.

Suzuki &gt; the lower of MTL's 1st round picks. Suzuki was a promising prospect and drafted 13th overall.

2nd = Ylonen or Kidney.

Also Meier &gt; Pacioretty, who was about to be a UFA which hurt MTL's leverage while Meier is RFA.

As much as I'd love Meier, I think if MTL is patient they might be able to land a big free agent which could be better asset management for a team that is rebuilding / re-tooling. If he could be had for your proposed cost I would do it but I think he is worth much more.

I know Hughes has already spoken about how he wants to be a player in free agency, with his experience as an agent and St. Louis being a desirable coach to play for I could see him waiting until the offseason to see what options are available before trading draft equity.

Edit:
If negotiations with Meier or Dubois are ongoing after free agency (which players usually do hold out for a bit now) then this option would still be available in the offseason and it wouldn't require SJ taking on Dadanov.

Sujet: Lines against Jets
So far I'm impressed with Caufield (obviously), Dach, and Guhle. I think these 3 standout as impactful top of the lineup players Montreal can build around.

Heineman also looks really close, maybe one more year once MTL loses some wingers he will be ready. I also love Simoneau's game, I think he's going to impress in Laval, might be a Desharnais 2.0 (although he's shown more of a willingness to battle in front of the net and shoot).

Going back to Dach, his speed is impressive, especially for a 6'4" skater. He is clearly more a playmaker than a shooter so I like this combination with Caufield. Perhaps this gives Suzuki some other options, Drouin - Suzuki - Armia was once a successful line... Drouin and Armia could use the boost in value.

Drouin - Suzuki - Armia
Caufield - Dach - Anderson
Dadanov - Dvorak - Gallagher
Hoffman - Monahan - Evans

Pitlick, Pezzetta ?

Don't want to count Slafkovsky out yet but so far I think he needs more seasoning. Slafkovsky + Simoneau = Pacioretty + Desharnais?

Edit:
Actually maybe Heineman is a better comparison to Pacioretty, strong skater, some smarts and a heavy shot.

Sujet: Suzuki Slafkovsky and Gallagher
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habs_need_Scoring</b></div><div>the goal here is?.. push caufield to sign an offsheet? would rather put gallagher watch the game from team box for 6.5 mil a year than break up suzuki caufield, if the thought is to get dach a solid winger theres other options but habs are finally close having an actually top line dont need to regress.</div></div>

I actually think Gallagher is the ideal winger for Dach. From what I've seen Dach has very good defensive metrics, so a line of Dadanov - Dach - Gallagher could be a good checking line. Sort of like Tatar - Danault - Gallagher (Dach has a long way to go for faceoffs though).

Edit:
I should say not ideal obviously, but a good spot for Gallagher given the circumstances.

Sujet: Reasonable Dubois Offer
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Black61</b></div><div>The really is no point in making even that offer to the Jets.

Acquiring PLD now vs as a free agent actually hurts the rebuild more than helps.

Your giving away essentially 2+ 1st round picks worth of value (depending on the deal) right out of the gate. Important to note that Florida 1st is unconditional we could be giving up a top 15 pick if Florida flounders this upcoming year.

He doesnt make the habs a playoff team in the next 2 years where we wouldnt otherwise be. Realistically only a starting goalie or #1 RD could have that impact. The only thing it could do is move us up a couple spots which may take us out of the top 5 next draft which would be undesirable.

Finally the money. Even after this trade we would need to move another person out for the cap unles PLD is signing for 5 million (which isnt happening). He could also pose a problem for the internal cap structure as well</div></div>

I agree, which is why I thought this was a reasonable offer. It's a strong offer from the habs given the circumstances. Jets fan's think Dubois gets 4x this at the TDL lol.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>Zero chance Chevy accepts 25% of what Dubois gets at the TDL in two years, including a cap dump that they haven't been compensated for.</div></div>

8 1st round picks coming the Jets way 2023 TDL.
