Sujet: Down goes Dach Down goes Dach
TCMonkey, forgot to say this but yeah, Kastelic would 100% be claimed. He doesn't have the best start of season but he's intimidating and pretty damn good on faceoffs already, was Top-12 last season. He was good enough defensively too so he'd get picked up for sure as he is on a cheap contract too.

There **might** be a room for Kubalik on 3LW and you bump Pearson and Pezzetta down, but again many players impressed enough in camp to deserve a call-up, instead of making a trade to "replace" Dach.

I'm aware this is under the assumption that Kubalik is dealt later, but Hughes does that kind of moves with free players (Pearson) or dumped players (Monahan, Dadonov). With three scoreless games, I don't see him being particularly excited to spend a pick on Kubalik. If he were free, maybe.</div></div>
Yes, Montreal might be able to get him for free if the market isn't too hot for him right now. Maybe Dorion is waiting a little for that (as injuries pile up) or maybe his pride is in the way (to not lose face even more on the DeBrincat's trade) but for that, nobody can help him with how many blunders he makes.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffGorton</b></div><div>Yes lets help a rival with their cap issues for absolutely nothing. Kubalik has negative value as long as the Sens cannot sign Pinto</div></div>
That's not how life works though. There's 32 teams and there isn't a 31 team collusion against one team. Teams will act based on their needs or what would benefit them (like selling Kubalik at the deadline)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ste_Catherine_Street</b></div><div>You can trade us Mathieu Joseph and Det's 1st round pick option for a Mtl 3rd round pick in 2025</div></div>
lol there's still people who thinks this will happen

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SevenLeg</b></div><div>Kubalik can't play center, so it makes him a pointless target.

Habs aren't buying rentals. If anything, they'd take him for future considerations. It's a risk to spend picks on someone just to trade him a couple of months later, hence why Hughes prefers trades like Pearson &amp; Monahan.</div></div>
Suzuki-Newhook-Monahan-Evans are at center. Problems seems to be more on the Wing and PP

And you're "buying" a rental, you're using him to sell him higher later (trade deadline), unless you guys think Habs are not going to be sellers at the deadline?

That said, I'd be "ok" with trading him for a 7th, good AHL player or even FC if there is really no market for him (there's most likely one as teams always look for scoring depth)

Sujet: Well Dach might be done for the season
Damn, I didn't realize that outside of Slafkovsky, most Habs players are already 23+. All of Sanderson, Stutzle, Greig, Pinto, Jarventie, Kleven are younger. Good news for the Habs is they have great talent in the pool with Hutson, Reinbacher, Roy, Beck and maybe several others.

Dorion hasn't done something to piss me off in months (well outside of this ultra ridiculous situation of having no plan after signing Tarasenko), so he better NOT trade Mathieu Joseph to Montreal.

Kubalik is an option you should consider, having another great shot after Caufield on the PP would help. He's not a great player but he does everything decently well and has that shot and particularly one-timer that he abuses like crazy lol

He would buy you some time and worst case scenario, if other young players emerge, you trade him at the deadline and get a better return than you'd pay now (maybe 2nd/3rd vs 5th now or something like that)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caufield</b></div><div>IMO, MTL will not trade for anyone, as I do think one of the guys I listed in MTL system will play ok in the top 6. However, if there was one guy I'd target, it might actually be Tolvanen. I have no clue if he is a right fit for MTL play style, but I feel like he would do pretty good with questionable depth at LW</div></div>
Tolvanen would cost a pretty penny though, like a good prospect and a pick. Unless I am mistaken in the picking order, I have no idea why Dorion didn't pick him on waivers last season. I know Tolvanen was going to better than believed in Nashville
