Sujet: (MTL/CAR) - 2020 5th round pick for Edmundson
So you paid the same amount that Philly paid for KEVEN HAYES to get an at best 3rd pairing Dman, who I assume you are now going to overpay.
And what does this mean for Mete? Be very, very afraid MTL fans.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Joel Edmundson (UFA rights acquired by MTL) was one of the worst defencemen in the league this season. He would likely be the worst LD on the Canadiens by a sizeable margin. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GoHabsGo?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GoHabsGo</a> <a href="https://t.co/RWcamU3lL6">pic.twitter.com/RWcamU3lL6</a></p>&mdash; JFresh (@JFreshHockey) <a href="https://twitter.com/JFreshHockey/status/1304876387032084480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 12, 2020</a></blockquote>

Personally, I am a huge Drysdale fan. But I agree that OTT needs elite forwards/scrorers!

Sujet: The only Domi trade that makes sense IMO
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ThatGuy</b></div><div>I could see Perreault becoming (maybe to a lesser extent) a version of Tatar. A change of scenery with a different role can really help players find their game.

And like you say, a 1-year commitment is a none issue. Very low risk. Worst case, you get rid of him before the 2021/22 season</div></div>

A very very lesser version of Tatar.....maybe. Perreault is much older than Tatar was and hasn't been as prominent at scoring. I wouldn't compare him to Tatar actually. But being that he is from Quebec, only has one year left and the Jets probably would expect some cash coming out if they are taking Domi's in, its a small price to pay for a player whose not a cap dump style player but isn't exactly a hot commodity either.

Just easier to @ all of you.

Perrault is simply there because:

- Teams rarely ever make trades for high priced players without some cap coming out.
- The french factor looks good on MB and the franco fan base.
- Losing Domi means needing a live body that has experience to at least help replace his time on the roster.
- Habs have oodles of cap space so adding 4M Perreault for one single year is not a big deal.
- If he plays well but habs don't make the playoffs, they get another player to flip at the TDL for a pick. (See Scandella)
- Plays all forward positions. Habs could always use depth. Or is playing Weise acceptable to you?
- Also if I trade Domi i want him out of conference and WPG makes a lot of sense for them and us.

I don't like Perreault. I don't want Perreault. The only reason he is here is that he checks all the boxes of the Habs.

I prefer this trade to Philly for Ghost and Ratcliffe becuase Domi on the Flyers is going to haunt the Habs for a long time and Habs need to build for the future. Adding Ghost means they want to try and be good now which I DONT want them to think. IMO.

I don't want to do what MB wants because that means failing lol so Im giving my interpretation of what would happen if I could whisper in his ear my advice. :awesome

<a href="/users/IVTEJ09" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@IVTEJ09</a>
I agree, If the goal is try and get Ghost, I would prefer to trade Drouin. That is a better comparable. Domi should bring back a much better package than Ghost IMO.

Sujet: Ottawa 2021 - With Lottery Luck
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ThatGuy</b></div><div>You'd trade away L. Brown to move up 20ish spots in the draft??</div></div>

As previously mentioned by Csick realistically you'd probably have to trade up to 9-12 to get Quinn but i was using the ranks on tankathon and as such it would be 20ish spots but could be upwards of 30+ spots. As it stands Logan Brown has only proven to be able to play in the AHL and seems lost in the NHL. I hope he gets another chance before the end of the year to prove us wrong but he's had ample opportunity and hasn't been able to deliver and if we pick up a Stutzle or even a Rossi/Perfetti/Byfield etc. they quite possibly all end up slotting above him and Logan brown i dont see in a bottom 6 Role and we are light on Top 6 wingers. We could move him to the wing maybe but even this seems unlikely. As said this is a less is more and moving up into a deep first round could be worth the gamble and I dont see any other players valuable enough to move up with.

Sujet: If we didnt blow it up
As much as I like Brannstrom, the only trade I'd like a redo on is Stone. He was the future Captain but Ottawa/Melnyk walked him out the door via arbitration. Ottawa offered what Vegas gave him except the most important factors in a contract; security via a NMC and NTC.

Karlsson was difficult at the time, but look at it now. He is half the man he was because of his entire leg. Basically, what made him dynamic and exciting is no longer there. He just can't skate. Don't get me wrong, he's still a really good player, but not anything near what he used to be.

This team here finished dead last. Even with all these players. Dead. Last. Maybe things would be different. But as it stands, Ottawa is going through this rebuild.

Ottawa is in a position to really rebuild from scorched earth with two really exiting young guys in Tkachuk and Chabot... + 2 top 5 picks possibly.
