Habs 2026 Offseason Thread

I’d prefer Thomas

For sure. Has been more productive and is locked up

I’d prefer Thomas

I'd prefer McDavid. Marty can get him to play without the puck

 

[AH$$$]

The other question I have is what UFAs could potentially be in play.

Slim pickings

 

[Habsy]

Alex Tuch

Darren Raddysh


End of list

 

[AH$$$]

Bobby McMann? Decent enough skater not enough puck skills.

The right D options are too old and likely not to cross the Border (Carlson and Trouba).

 

[GEEMAN]

What percent of cap are you okay with? And what player do you get with that?

Not a cap issue , not a fan of Nico or his next deal

 

[GEEMAN]

If Nico wants 10M he’s getting resigned by Mehta.

It would be like having two Suzukis on the Habs. Sign me up.

Thing is we’d have to trade a lot for him

Mehta may trade him , 6 missed playoffs and only 3 rounds in 8 years

This core is too soft and going nowhere

BM is my target on a fair deal , better value than Tuch

Ummm what

So you really just don't want players to get money. That's fucked up

Nico at 10 mil , no fucken way

Hilarious

The flaw with the MoneyBall approach is that better value doesn’t necessarily win championships. Yeah, better per dollar. But is he better?

MB was good at value players but never the top line guys.
