Habs- kovacevic

Habs- Allen 50%retain


Col- Beaucage


Habs- armia


LA- kaliev

EDM Trades:

- Jack Campbell's turd of a contract.
- 2nd ('24)
- 3rd ('25)


MTL Trades:

- Allen


- Campbell's minor league cap hit and Allen's actual cap hit are an identical 3.85M, and therefore cancel each other out this year and next.

- the 2nd & 3rd are compensation for the Habs having the last two years of Campbell's contract. (It also acknowledges the weakness of the current goalie market giving Allen little value.)

- this gives EDM a credible, veteran, NHL backup who isn't good enough to spook Skinner, but provides a real opportunity to reduce Skinner's playing time before the playoff grind. (Allen has Cup experience as a back-up, and knows what a good back-up needs to do to support the starter.)

- MTL solves their crease and turns it over to the kids. (They can buy out or trade the last 2 years of Campbell if necessary.)

- Contingent on Allen & Campbell waiving their NTC's.

05 Mar 2024 17:32:52
For this I think I would rather give future considerations and snag the first from your previous offer.

05 Mar 2024 18:04:23
Take more than that to get rid of Campbell's contract.

05 Mar 2024 20:04:01
I'd still want a first for taking that contract.

05 Mar 2024 20:45:20
You have a deal Chickenfoot!

06 Mar 2024 00:56:16
Montreal declines.

06 Mar 2024 03:11:24
I rather keep Allen and free cap space next year, we don't need picks.

06 Mar 2024 13:55:38
I think Montreal would want more but, I think you’re right and the Oilers taking back Allen might lessen the picks given up. Oil would rather stick with Pickard at 800K considering how well he’s played.

05 Mar 2024 15:57:41
EDM Trades:

- Jack Campbell (contingent upon him waiving his NTC)
- 1st (2025 - better quality draft)
- 3rd (2024)


CHI, ANA, or MTL:

- Future Considerations


- EDM dumps Campbell's deal at the expected price to whoever will take it.

05 Mar 2024 16:25:28
Would you take Allen for that? Take away the 3rd coming back.

05 Mar 2024 18:05:35
This is closer.

05 Mar 2024 18:06:28
SOSA: check out the other trade I had posted regarding the inclusion of Allen. I think it works for both as well, but you be the judge.

29 Feb 2024 07:19:14
Habs-allen

Anh- Henrique


Col- Oskar olausson-behrens-1st pick col 2025- 4thpick 2025-joahnsen


Anh retain half on Allen,henrique

Habs-4th pick col

Anh- olausson-behrens-1st pick- Johansen

Col- henrique-allen

I've seen this rumors but with Callum Ritchie , pretty sure avs don't want to part ways with Ritchie so I swap him with olausson and swap the 3rd for a fourth seems more fair

Mtl- armia half retain- 4 the pick col

La - kaliev

27 Feb 2024 23:29:25
Montreal Trades
DSavard*

Toronto Trades
Villeneuve (AHL)
Grebyonkin (KHL)
1st Round Pick 2024

*Montreal retains 50% of DSavard's remaining contract.


A trade that helps the future for Montreal, The Leafs finally get there RHanded Veteran Defensive Defenceman.


Thoughts ?

28 Feb 2024 09:57:12
If Savard gets traded it’ll be for a 1st or equivalent plus.

I assume the Russian is there for trolling & fun, and in the spirit if that I appreciate the sense of humour ?.

Neither prospect moves the needle for me personally, and I fully expect Tampa or someone else will make a much more compelling offer.

28 Feb 2024 11:59:18
Savard isn't worth a first.

27 Feb 2024 16:03:37
Montreal trade with nj devils
Mtl:Allen
To
Devils: holtz
Montréal trade with la
Mtl:Savard
To
La:Turcotte and 2nd round
Mtl trade with Florida
Mtl :Dvorak and 2nd round
To
Fla: knight
Mtl trade with Anaheim
Mtl: Harris, Barron ,Winnipeg 1st , mtl 2nd round
To
Ducks: zegras

27 Feb 2024 18:11:25
- NJ trade is fair.

- LA trade is close, but I think Savard will bring a 1st + at the deadline.

- The FLA trade doesn't seem like a fit where Dvorak is done for the season. Perhaps it gets revisited as an off-season deal, but personally, as talented as Knight is, his addiction issues are a big red flag for me.

- The ANA trade is fair, but personally I don't like one-dimensional players like Zegras. He's like a Johnny Gaudreau in too many ways, and just doesn't seem like the kind of guy you go to battle with.

27 Feb 2024 18:27:27
Allen not an improvement for devils. LA has log jam on defence already, not sure they want Savard. Why knight? Seems to much for Zegras. So I’m guessing no on all. ?.

27 Feb 2024 23:04:52
Allen is a 33 year old backup goalie

28 Feb 2024 01:15:23
Log jam on d in la , who? Besides doughty? Savard is an upgrade
Devils: all 3 of their goalies are below 900 save% and are over 3.2 goals per game , Allen has similar number albeit on a bottom 5 nhl team , so imo Allen is an upgrade
Knight might be worth the gamble
And mtl ain’t getting Zegras for much less if not more

28 Feb 2024 04:05:11
Spence and Clarke are 2 good young RHD but their LHD deepth is another thing.

28 Feb 2024 17:15:17
Good points on Allen sidekick. I see him as a 1B that could come to a team without spooking a starter. (Goalies always have a more delicate psyche. to say the least. ) Allen is a good, short-term solution for someone. He's playing on a lousy team and his numbers reflect that.

27 Feb 2024 14:18:34
TRADE #1:

EDM Trades:

- Gagner
- 5th (2025)

MTL:

- Future Considerations


TRADE #2:

ANA Trades:

- Henrique (50% retention)

EDM TRADES:

- Holloway
- 2nd ('24)
- 3rd ('24)



- EDM trades Gagner's expiring deal to MTL to free up a little cap space.

- MTL gets a 5th for accommodating EDM.

- ANA gets 2 pieces for pending RFA Henrique, plus a 3rd for retention.

- EDM gets their third line center & depth in the bottom 6.

27 Feb 2024 16:51:49
@Chickenfoot think you meant UFA for Henrique. Regardless though I think the value is there to land Henrique. What an add that would be for the Oilers too. Holloway doesn't seem to be a part of the Oilers future and if they can add a guy like Henrique for the playoffs I think they will be better for it.

27 Feb 2024 21:05:45
Holloway will be apart of the Oilers future unless he’s traded for a big piece. The 2nd and 3rd might be enough for Henrique. I think he’s a good target for the Oil.

27 Feb 2024 21:26:29
MG: you are right that I was wrong?

I’m not a big fan of the Oilers’ more notable prospects, but a change of scenery going to a less competitive team can be a boost for some. I would be curious to see him get a shot in ANA, and who doesn’t like some California sun this time of year!

28 Feb 2024 01:02:31
@Ebsolutely you are overvaluing Holloway big time. A great comparison value wise for him is Nic Robertson. Many people, myself included, don't see Robertson as a trade piece that moves the needle much at all for a big piece. And yet he has more goals, assists, and points than Holloway career wise all while playing less games.

28 Feb 2024 18:23:33
I didn’t even really put a value on Holloway, I could just see a 2nd and 3rd being enough for Henrique. Holloway plays a big fast game that translates easily to a bottom 6 player, but he still has potential to be a top 6 guy. I think Holloway moves the needle quite a bit in a trade today, if he doesn’t prove much by next year then I’ll agree his value will dip a lot.

25 Feb 2024 21:54:11
MTL : Jordan Harris
LAK : Alex Turcotte

Former high draft pick with potential, who's also a pending RFA and has had mild offensive production at the pro level for a young mobile 3rd pair dman with some potential but has been dealing with multiple injuries this season.

LA probably gets an upgrade for their 3rd, MTL gets another pending RFA "reclamation" project and eases the logjam of young defensemen in their lineup

26 Feb 2024 10:03:42
- I agree that MTL will need to move some of their young D that they’ve developed, and that Harris is one of the likely candidates.

- I think Harris easily has top-4 potential, and I don’t see Turcotte as enough of a return for Harris. With so many teams needing cheap young D, I see Harris yielding more than Turcotte.

26 Feb 2024 13:09:01
I think Turcotte could definitely turn into a top 6 player still. Everything is there, just needs to put it together. I do think that Harris may be one they hold onto.

Correct me if I'm wrong Habs fans but future dpairings are potentially likely to look like this:

Guhle-Reinbracher
Harris-Mailloux
Struble-Kovacievic/ Barron

Assuming they all develop accordingly and no significant injuries that's a pretty well rounded d group to potentially have in the future.

26 Feb 2024 14:56:03
By the time Mathesson contract ends up engstrom and konyuskov will be NHL ready, and you forgot xhekaj, so I think Harris, stubble and Barron are expendable pieces for the habs.

26 Feb 2024 18:09:51
@Bfg2357 I'll be the first to admit I'm not well versed with the Habs prospect pool so if you as a Habs fan is saying that then I'll believe it. Think there's an outside chance qe could see Xhekaj move to forward and play a 4th line role?

26 Feb 2024 19:21:32
I tend to agree BFG.

No matter how it goes, some teams will get some good young D in trade with the Habs, who need to turn some of those prospects on D into a quality high-end piece up front. (Not Zegras. )

26 Feb 2024 22:58:20
I would like to see xhekaj as a forward, so when he fight, we still have 6 d available, but I don't think they will do it, he's a good bottom pairing D with some offensive upside.

27 Feb 2024 10:01:17
I hear what you’re thinking about turning X into a forward, but his vision from the point is sneaky good too, and he just won the Habs’ hardest shot contest when he fired a 106 slapper.

I totally understand the creativity of the suggestion, especially given the glut of young D, but this guy just seems like he’s perfectly suited to being an intimidating F. O. defender with some sneaky offensive skills.

27 Feb 2024 12:23:47
Damn that's a bomb from the point. I was looking at it from the standpoint you move him upfront and you still keep the majority of young dmen coming up. Seen it before with Deslauriers and a few other guys who played D and got moved up front. I think him on a 3rd or 4th line would be fun to see especially with his brother (think mighty ducks d2 ?) . But very hard to justify moving a guy who can hammer the puck like that from his natural position back there. Hopefully they utilize him a bit more on the PP and give him the chance to get his offense going.

27 Feb 2024 16:57:42
Future dcore would imo look more like this
Matheson reinbacher
Hutson Guhle
Mailloux (xhekaj struble)

27 Feb 2024 18:29:29
That's awesome MG, and I forgot the Deslauriers was a d-man. I love to box and have a soft spot for the ham 'n eggers. The character it takes to do that job is something I respect very much.

24 Feb 2024 21:06:25
Mtl- send Gallagher 25 %retain and wpg 1st pick to Chicago

Then

Chicago retain half of Gallagher 5m
To EDM for Campbell and EDM 1st pick

Chicago get to first pick to retain 2.5m salary on Gally and take Campbell

EDM gain a little cap space , a good depth player in Gallagher at 2.5m

Habs give Gallagher a chance to win a cup in his hometown and free 5m cap space for the next 3year

Then
EDM pursue vatrano in Anh for Holloway-2 Nd pick 2025

25 Feb 2024 16:54:34
- I firmly believe Gally would jump at the chance to play in EDM, and that he’d be a great depth add at the right cap hit.

- a MTL 1st for seems steep, but it may well be market value for this deadline.

- Good one BFG?.

25 Feb 2024 17:28:14
I don't think it's worth it to give away a 1st round pick from MTL's perspective, as they can tank Gallagher's contract for 2-3 years and opt for a buyout afterwards if need be. They don't have any significant players to re-sign for the next 2 years and they have some contracts coming off the books in the next 2, notably Allen, Dvorak and Petry's retention which combine for a little over 10M. With the cap ceiling reportedly going up significantly for the next few years, I just don't really think MTL needs that cap space anyways, unless they trade for another RFA who will commend a significant cap hit.

25 Feb 2024 21:19:08
@matador12 they definitely don't need to trade Gally, but I think they do this deadline or offseason so he can have another crack at winning a cup.

25 Feb 2024 21:39:39
@MG69 it's a possibility, but I doubt Hughes really wants to part ways with one of his high draft picks just for Gallagher to have a chance to win a cup with a playoff team. MTL's management likes the person, but hopefullyy there's a limit to what they will do to accomodate him.

26 Feb 2024 01:06:09
@matador12 if they retain on Gally and get a third team involved they shouldn't need to part with any draft capital. Good chance that Jets pick is a later round pick anyways so I can see Hughes being open to moving it. got to look at it like this, that cap space opens the door for taking a bad contract and potentially getting more draft capital back as well or signing a multiple players to fill out the lineup. The Habs aren't too far off from being back in the playoff hunt and they have a lot jam of young dman that they can dangle for more help upfront.

26 Feb 2024 08:17:25
Unload Gallagher contract give massive cap space. Habs will already have 15 M in cap space. Now will have 20M to make a big splash. Make a forward roster spot in the bottom six for a more physical guy (cheaper) or younger like Joshua roy or henneiman.

27 Feb 2024 16:57:14
Future dcore imo would look like this:
Matheson reinbacher
Hutson Guhle
Mailloux (xehkaj or struble)

22 Feb 2024 02:53:46
Mtl- Savard half retain- 3rd pick 2024

Dal- bourque- 1st pick 2024

At the draft

Mtl- gallagher-1st pick wpg 2024-1st pick dal 2024

Too San Jose, Anaheim or Chicago

For future consideration

Then offer guentzel
5 year 50 M

22 Feb 2024 04:12:15
I actually like the Bourque trade a lot, I don’t think it’s too far off tbh. I don’t think they should dump Gallagher tho, he’s an important leader on that team. Maybe they should use those assets in a package for Zegras if he’s available.

22 Feb 2024 13:09:01
- Good one BFG - I think you're bang on with your asset valuations.

- Two 1sts to get rid of Gally's 3 years @ 6.5M is fair, but crippling, when considering the opportunity cost of what those two 1st round picks could be used for in a trade "for" something.

- Gally has been a good soldier for the Habs, and I think they'll do right by him. Perhaps he wants to go somewhere I think they'll make it happen, such as going home to EDM or something like that.

- For example, if the Gally wanted to go to EDM this summer, maybe they could trade his 3 x 6.5M for Campbell's 3 x 5M, and retain whatever some $ to make it work for EDM. (It would be wrong to bury Gally in the minors, but the Habs don't have anything invested in Campbell. The Habs could retain to make the dollars work and make sure Gally was left to finish his career honourably. He's earned that. )

- A buyout would take 6 looooong years at -333K, 2.1M, 4.6M, 2.1M, 2.1M, & 2.1M. I suspect Gally & the Habs will work out something honourable to allow them both to move on the right way.

22 Feb 2024 13:18:58
I wouldn't do the Guentzel signing though, and I'm not sure Zegras is the right trade target.

I know high end talent is hard to find, but his defensive play makes his net offense contribution far less meaningful. Some scorers get it, and some don't. He's a human highlight reel, but I'm not sure he's the kind of guy that helps win a championship. He feels more like a Johnny Gaudreau.

22 Feb 2024 13:20:03
That would be a great add for the Habs! Value wise I think it's there, my only thing is would Dallas want to part with him. Pavelski, Benn, and Seguin are not getting younger and eventually they will need to be replaced. There's free agency or there's the homegrown route. Do they move a player they've developed into a very promising player or move on from him. I don't know what the answer is to that, but the addition of Savard would sure up their defense even more for a playoff run.

23 Feb 2024 01:20:45
@Chickenfoot that Gaudreau comparison seems really accurate actually lol

23 Feb 2024 04:34:20
I see this

Habs lose Gallagher, Monahan Savard

Gain Bourque and guentzel

(Still have the first cgy pick for Monahan)

Salary wise it balanced and I rather have guentzel over zegras, more complete 2 way player, and playoff experience. 10 M maybe a little overpay but it's mtl. Taxes, media, you have to op a little.

21 Feb 2024 23:23:30
CGY-VGK
To Calgary:
2024 1st, Nic Hague, Paul Cotter, Matyas Sapovaliv

To Vegas:
Noah Hanifin (who signs an extension)

CGY-NJ
To Calgary:
Alex Holtz, Kevin Bahl, 2024 1st, Lenni Hameenaho

To New Jersey:
Jacob Markstrom 2m retained (4m x 3 years)

CGY-TOR
Option 1 = Tanev for TOR 2024 1st -straight up swap

Option 2 = Chris Tanev and Andrew Mangiapane (50% retained this year and next = 2.8 mill) for 2024 1st, Nick Robertson, Topi Niemala

Huberdeau-Sharangovich-Kuzmenko
Zary-Kadri-Holtz
Robertson/Pospisil-Backlund-Coleman
Roberston/Pospisil-Cotter-Pelletier

Weegar-Andersson
Hague-Bahl
Kylington-Pachal

Wolf
Vladar

This should secure a top 8 ish pick.

Maybe even focus on moving kuzmenko this summer or next deadline. Maybe even coleman and Backlund.

We need to be bad next year too for that mtl 1st round trade thing

22 Feb 2024 15:30:43
Nobody wants to comment. Lol. Interesting thought of Vegas. Not sure about return but I’ll guess we shall find out within 2 weeks.

24 Feb 2024 04:31:14
Vegas has zero in cap space, hague at 2,294,150 and cotter at 775k isn't enough to accommodate hanifin's current 4.9
New jersey has 653,703 in space, Holtz at 894,167 and bahl at 1,050,000 isn't enough to accommodate a retained markstrom at 4 mills.

18 Feb 2024 15:58:12
Tampa needs a defensemen to replace Sergachev and they have a history with David Savard. Maybe there could be a potential reunion?

TBL - 2025 2nd and 2024 5th
MTL - David Savard


Tampa has around 7.50M to make improvements throughout their lineup and I think Savard at 3.5M would make him an extremely attractive asset to any team. They would still have enough cap to make more potential moves.

I’m basing the value comparison to the Nikita Zadorov to VAN trade.

18 Feb 2024 18:44:24
I'd make Tanpa pay a little more. Do they have a 2024 1st? That's what I'd want for Big Play Dave .

19 Feb 2024 05:54:02
Savard would be a great add for anyone, but with Sergachev out now, they need a speedier D to pick up the slack.

20 Feb 2024 16:17:18
Unsure what Tampa's prospect pool looks like, but with Sergachev out a player like Chychrun or Hanifin would be ideal targets if they are wanting to add a higher end dman. With Chychrun you get some term as well. But again idk what the prospect pool looks like for Tampa or if they have the draft capital to make a deal happen.

20 Feb 2024 18:33:11
MG: I completely agree on Chychrun. Before the Sergachev injury I thought Savard was certainly on Tampa's radar. However, Chychrun has the wheels AND the skill, and Tampa doesn't have the trade pieces for both. (I posted a Chychrun to Tampa trade recently and I personally think he'll end up there. )

21 Feb 2024 12:37:36
@Chickenfoot had to go back quite a ways to find it. Unsure of Howard's overall value. I feel like he may be someone they want to hold onto. He definitely would need to be included in a Chychrun deal, but maybe they look at Hanifin who would likely cost less assets. Curious how it will play out for sure.

17 Feb 2024 15:18:25
Montreal Trades
DSavard*

Toronto Trades
Liljegren
1st Round Pick 2024

*Montreal retains 50% of DSavard's remaining contract which is the rest of this season and next.


Montreal and Toronto rarely make trades with each other but what each team would be looking at this proposal makes sense imo.



Thoughts ?

17 Feb 2024 19:42:15
I doubt that there is any NHL team hoping to acquire Liljegren. You would think that, if he had any value, cash space crunched Toronto should want to keep a younger, inexpensive defenseman, but every TML fan seems to want to trade him.

17 Feb 2024 21:47:39
- This is a big “NON” from MTL.

- I agree with Lago that Lilly is not a coveted D. He’s a throw-in, and a bit of a sweetheart for the grind of playoff hockey.

- the word is that Treliving is reticent to trade his 1st anyway. Attempts to package multiple lower picks as trade capital haven’t worked. He’s either going to have consider moving his 1st or making much smaller trades.

10 Feb 2024 04:37:23
LAK - Pierre-Luc Dubois
MTL - Josh Anderson, Jake Allen & 2024 2nd

10 Feb 2024 13:45:34
Ship has sailed, doubt MTL wants Dubois at that price, even if it means unloading Anderson's contract.

10 Feb 2024 18:47:07
MTL emphatically declines, even for 1 of those 3 pieces.

11 Feb 2024 22:23:22
Allen has only 2 victory since October, Anderson does not hit anymore and his production is going downhill. Like, at least PLD has some good hockey in him. I think st-louis could make him a good player
From LA perspective, i don't know if they want to throw in the towel and get out of that contract at that cost but I would consider that trade.

04 Feb 2024 15:53:52
Mtl- Harris-kovacevic

TB -gauthier-2 Nd pick 2025


Mtl- Allen 4th and 5th pick 2024

NJ - 2 Nd pick 2024

03 Feb 2024 20:32:52
montreal: askarov, 2024 2nd rd pick (lowest)

nashville: 2024 1st rd pick (Mtl)


montreal secures them one of the top goalie prospects. fits their development. nashville gets a top 10 pick to help secure them an impact center.

04 Feb 2024 10:49:52
Habs won't trade thier first, that pick will be near top 5 and Habs don't need askarov anymore, montembault is pretty decent and Jacob Fowler is our future goaltender.

04 Feb 2024 13:25:26
You must not see how good askarov has been so far.

04 Feb 2024 15:56:05
Maybe but that draft is strong won't waive a top 10 pick.

07 Feb 2024 17:33:13
- Habs respectfully decline.

- The 2024 Draft is NOT considered to be a deep draft. It is considered to be 20-deep, with a steep drop off. Look for lots to late first rounders to move.

- I’d rather Fowler than Askarov. When possible, I would avoid Russian players period under the current climate for a host of reasons.

02 Feb 2024 18:33:34
LA Trades:

- Rittich
- 2nd ('25)
- 4th ('26)

MTL Trades:

- Allen



- LA has Talbot as their starter, and desperately needs help beyond what Rittich can offer.

- Allen can help this year and next, and because the G supply is limited and demand is high, he brings a higher return due to market conditions.



"MTL still encourages teams needing cap relief to bring their garbage pending UFA contracts for some sweet, sweet cap relief at OUTRAGEOUS asset costs."

: )

02 Feb 2024 22:24:08
I would like to see a little more. If the Kings ( which they do) are in desperate need for a other goalie., well id take advantage of that and ask for a little more. Would rather not have Big Save Dave in the deal.

02 Feb 2024 23:18:18
I think rittich is on a roll and Talbot is a bit on a downfall.

02 Feb 2024 23:25:27
This would be an above-market return.

03 Feb 2024 22:13:35
makes a ton of sense for the Kings, they need more stability in net

02 Feb 2024 18:03:15
NYI Trade:

- Matt Martin
- 1st Round Pick ('26)


MTL Trade:

- Savard



- NYI only have 2 healthy RD, and Savard is playoff-tested, big, and still has plenty shot-blocking & timely scoring in him to help them this year and next.

- MTL gets a second 1st in each of the coming 3 seasons. I see them packaging some of their extra NHL-ready yound D along with some 1st rounders to get some high-end talent up front. (They have quantity, now it's time to target some quality high-end targets.)

- Martin has been a good soldier for Lou, but he's a throw-in on this deal to make the dollars work.

02 Feb 2024 22:26:29
No need for Martin, I dont mind this though at all.

02 Feb 2024 23:28:20
SOSA: as I mentioned above Martin is only a salary take back to facilitate the deal, as Rittich is above. (The return to the Habs is the picks. )

03 Feb 2024 22:14:58
I think you nailed Savard’s value in my opinion, a 1st is very reasonable.

02 Feb 2024 13:31:42
WPG Trades:

- 2024 2nd (MTL)
- 2025 1st

MTL Trades:

- Monahan

- Chevy gets the C he needs to take important faceoffs without taking from his active roster.

- MTL increases picks for draft or trade.

- MTL increases available cap space to 7.2M, and encourages all teams in need of deadline cap space to come with offers to dump their garbage for prospects & picks.

No from Winnipeg as the Jets need a 2C. Monahan isn't an upgrade over anyone in Winnipeg's top 6 and isn't good enough defensively to play in the bottom 6.

I doubt Chevy has any interest especially at that cost.

I think that the value is there but if I'm MTL, I'd prefer going for prospects instead of picks. Rebuild is going along well and a young core is being built and I think it's important for them to have a core of players that have similar age ranges, considering they already have a good amount of draft picks in the next few years. I would swap that 1st for a young promising player like Lambert, assuming a deal would be done with WPG.

Lol memarcusjoe what was that about Chevy not having any interest? ?.

Nice chickenfoot, didn’t think Montreal was getting a 1st for Monahan. These early trades may be worth more than deadline deals. Montreal killed it with Monahan.

02 Feb 2024 15:55:59
Well that didn't take long. Excellent return for Montreal and a disappointing trade for Winnipeg.

@memarcusjoe

Well. this reply aged well.

02 Feb 2024 16:45:54
Well, your doubts didn't pan out as you thought. Monahan is now a Jet! For a 1st this year and a conditional 3rd in 2027 if they win the cup.

02 Feb 2024 17:12:46
Hopefully Monahan is as good as Montreal fans say, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Pretty close value to the actual trade, well done.

Mtl - gallagher-allen 50 retain

EDM - Campbell

But to make it work, nashville is included in the trade

They retain 50% on both Gallagher and Campbell

For that, they receive

EDM 1st and Broberg
Mtl 2nd (Colorado) and Barron

So when Habs buy out cambpell at the end of season and EDM buyout Gally after the playoffs run or maybe the next year, Nsh absorb half of the deadcap. Make it very affordable for the 3 teams.

EDM get 2 usefully depth player and cap space

Mtl get cap space, resolve issues with the 3 goaltender situation and send Gallagher to his hometown, Cup contender.

Nsh get very interesting assets

- MTL & NSH decline.

- NSH can only retain on one more salary, so they couldn't participate fully as described in this transaction.

- the next 4 years NSH has some "Minnesota-esque" cap penalties for contract buyouts & retained salary:

. 2024-25: 11.8M
. 2025-26: 8.8M
. 2026-27: 3.55M
. 2027-28: 3.55M.

Oilers decline.
