2026 NHL UFA/Trade Thread

I don't think I'm ready to trade Dobes. Want to see how he handles being the starter from the get go.

He had a Steve Penney playoff run..

We'll find out soon enough. But he was excellent after Monty was "de-commissioned" following the debacle in Anaheim.

CBJ doesn't need a goalie.

Sure they do.. they have a midget in nets, Greaves won’t be able to handle a starter role he’s a split duty (40-45GP) type if at all

 

[Habsy]

Why would a team that is already going to lose Werenski and Marchenko when their deals are up trade a player that doesn’t mind playing there in Fantilli?

 

[Habspatrol]

Mtl Canadiens have NEVER drafted & developed a consistent 70pts+ C in their entire 100yr+ history.

Le Gros Bill, Pocket Rocket & Lemaire were never drafted

It’s simply not in the org DNA, they tried and failed miserably w Wickenheiser

Crazy to think that Koivu is the best center we ever drafted. Loved the guy, and believe he would have been an elite player is not for injuries... but you'd think we would have somehow ended up with an elite center in 60+ years of drafting. Pleks is probably the second-best center we ever drafted.

But you just told us that Dobes is Steve Penney. Why would CBJ want Steve Penney?

Basu is reporting Habs had a deal in place for MacTavish had the player Ana been targeting at the draft Nikita Klepov gone off the board before STLs 15OA pick

if you wanted him that deal was easy to beat

 

[GEEMAN]

Would need to include Hage + Zharovsky..

Evan that nonsense Marchenko rumour , if the Habs offered the moon that deal gets done last night

FU

 

[lecoqsportif]

Better to give up front money and limit term.

Right kind of player, but last year was an outlier. Too bad.

 

[wiseguy1]

Carlo traded to St louis for two 3rd round picks

Blues get a guy they can likely flip for more at the deadline
