Sujet: Actual roster and taxi squad
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>markmws</b></div><div>Great question (and thank you for not being mean in your reply! :) ) I would (and this is just me) select Laurent Dauphin, Blandisi or Vejdemo, and maybe Olofsson on defense. Dauphin, Blandisi and Vejdemo have NHL experience - albeit a small amount - and at least could play a passable role on the fourth line. Same is said for Olofsson: I wouldn't trust him with 15 minutes a night, but if you asked him to play 10-11 sheltered minutes, he would probably be fine (and that's all a team would probably ask a taxi squad player to play anyway, right? They have so many defensemen that the likelyhood of Olofsson playing is minute at best. Same goes for any of those three forwards).</div></div>

No problem, I like it when we can discuss and propose solution without being mean and insult so ! Your propositions for the taxi squad seems about right, will definitely take those in account for my next AGM.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TGDline</b></div><div>love the 4th line best in the league for sure. M.B has to get Danault signed long term. Weal time is up! That trade coming next.</div></div>

I think you're right about Weal, he definitely is the odd man that will either be traded or Buried. As for Danault, I think MB is waiting to see how Poehling will perform at camp. If he shows signs that he can take that 3C spot, I think that would mean the end for Danault :/ Personally, I don't think Poehling will be ready. He will need some ice time in the AHL. So that brings us back to Danault's situation. I appreciate what he brings to the team and I even think he could bring more. Therefore, MB need to think about Petry and Gally's new contracts coming in play and also the youngster coming in that we'll also need to pay soon enough (Suzuki, KK, Romanov, Caufield). I could see him sign a similar contract that Jean-Gabriel Pageau signed with the Isles but not more. 6 x 5 or 5.5. It's in his camp to choose, yes he could probably get more elsewhere but he can stay home and get less but with a competitive team. In the end, he's the one that will decide his fate. Really interesting to see how that will go.

You'll never receive a franchise player like huberdeau in return for only galchenyuk who showed great flashs but who's more of a bust for the moment, if you wanna trade him in a 1 vs 1 trade, you'll have to try players who has potential like him but who arent delivering too, 2 players in that category would be Sam Reinhart and Sam Bennett in my opinion. And for the Drasaitl trade, edmonton is cleary not a good trade partner for Price's massive contract, specially with Mcdavid's 12.5 millions cap hit starting next year, trading Price includes at least 25% of salary being retained for him to become attractive on the market. As for the Arizona trade, habs cleary loses that one, duclair is struggling to have a roster spot with the worst team in the league right now and demers will take Juulsen spot which you're suppose to let him play as a top 4 D prospect if you wanna rebuild.

Luongo is 38 years old.... he wont be able to do the job for years to come plus with Reimer as a backup they would appreciate having price as a #1 goalie for 8 more years to come. As for the subban trade, you trade him before his NMC clause comes in application. I found we have Lindgren showed good flashs and following a rebuild where you give young guns time of ice you let them learn by playing and live with them mistakes, thats how you build a championship team, chicago dit it, toronto is doing it, you dont get a championship team by paying your goalie 10.5 millions and patching up your horrible draft history and youth developpement by overpaying veterans like plekanec and shaw.... Concerning pacioretty trade, i found it interesting because hes a consistent 30+ goal scorer and signed one more year at 4.5 millions which is an excellent cap hit for a scorer like him, with price he's the one that would bring up the more significant return and i find that fleury would fill the hole at the defense prospects created by the sergachev trade, lastly it would get a good bank of draft picks for one of the deepest draft years to build up strong for the future.
