it's not a 3rd round pick. I saw a screenshot of the article, they mention the habs would be getting a third 1st round pick in 2024, because calgary would trade them Vancouver's 1st for 2024. So, basically, we'd move down to 9 and get a low 1st round pick for it.
If the habs are targeting a forward at 5oa (which is likely unless Levchnunov is still there) and with demidov gone, Lidstrom is the likely target. Hughes wants to get bigger and lidstrom also has the skills to back it up. Is he another Dach? not sure, but having both is not that bad. One of...
I'm leaning that way, espicially now that we only have a single pick in the first two round. Flyers seems like a potential target, we could trade the 5th for their 7th and 22nd or Detroit with their 9th and 17th.
Flyers seems the least risky because at 7th, you ar garanteed to have one of...
Still remember him saying Caufiled would not pan out and the best one was when he said the habs should trade their entire picks in 2019 to move up and pick Alex Turcotte. Now that was funny.
Something is very wrong if Mitchkov is available at 5 and we don't draft him (considering the first 4 pick go as predicted). I think Hughes's only reason to pass on Mitchkov is if a big suprised happens in the top 4 and someone is available at 5 that they didn't expect.
Yeah, I don't think he will still be available when we draft.
In fact, I think the 5th pick might be the easiest one to take because you basically just pick who ever is left from the top 5 guys that everyone agrees are the best. No pressure if he doesn't pan out, you took the one who was left...
At this point, this is indeed the best take. If it's true that his life outside the rink and getting close to his family is his priority VS money, let's see if this is true next summer if he goes UFA and accept a bellow 8 millions$ contract for us (preferably closer to 6 millions).
Bais ally. It’s top 10 protected unless Calgary doesn’t get the Florida pick and Calgary pick is top 10 in 2024. At this point we get Calgary unprotected 2025 1st.
Here are the conditions associated with the first-round selection acquired by Montreal:
1. In the event Calgary's own 2024 first (1st) round choice is selection 20-32 (inclusive) (following the determination of the 2024 NHL Draft lottery results), then Montreal shall have the option...
In the end, I think PLD plays in Winnipeg at least this year before he is traded.
Winnipeg needs to figure out what drives everyone out. People focus on PLD but apparently, Sheifele and Wheeler want out too. As someone stated, PLD said he was seeing himself resign long therm with the jets than...
Correct. Any long term offer sheet will be matched by Winnipeg and he will be stuck there. If the jets can’t find satisfaction in a trade with us, their best bet is to sign a 1 or 2 year deal with Dubois and trade him at the deadline for a team desperate for a big top 6 center. In 2 years, he...
Sounds plausible although if I was the jets, I’d ask for Anderson instead of baron ans maybe ask for a 1st next year but habs would only trade the FLA one.
liked what I saw from baron although it was a very small sample. Looked to be a great skated and could become a great puck moving D?
but...
Considering the situation, the return is fine. Matheson is younger, cheaper and will be a lot easier to trade in a few years. As for Poehling, he is no trending on the right side. I am now not sure he will ever be a regular NHLer. So we save $2M in cap space and also remove a contract.
we also...
Really? In today's age, having a trade done and not be spilled on the internet moments after is already a tromendous acheivement. Now a trade was done at the draft and no one knows about it still? I have my doubts.
