91st percentile WAR is really, really good. But that's a top 40 player in the NHL. Be careful paying top 40 players like they're top 10 players.

Tyler Toffoli at the deadline feels like a move we should consider based on how Robertson works out.

Would right the wrong of a few years ago when poor Toronto kid had to take a Habs offer in a depressed market. Ugh.

Bring him home. Always liked him.
 
As for Tkachuk, gotta believe free wheelin and dealin Ottawa is hot on his trail to reunite the brothers, no??

They have lots of assets to get it done. They're my top pick to land him.

I dunno. Would he really be all that eager to sign on long-term with a team his baby bro’s captaining in an even smaller Canadian market than the one he’s currently playing in?

Or would he want to follow Gaudreau’s footsteps and move south of the border?

I guess I'm making an assumption based on their relationship without knowing if they're close, and I guess there could be the ego aspect of things with the C that could stand in the way. NHL brothers have tended to want to play together based on what we've seen over the years (Sedins, Staals, Niedermeyers just off the top of my head). I was just saying I'd expect Ottawa to have interest in landing a guy like that, and the relation makes the hunch stronger, but sure, Matthew himself may have no interest in that set up.
 
Just saw an article saying the Habs were basically over the cap with Dach still unsigned and couldn’t believe it with Weber and Petry and all of the deadline players shipped out previously. Shocked to confirm it on CF. It was saying the Habs need to unload Drouin or Armia on Seattle and presumably give them something.

Price goes on LTIR at the beginning of the season, no?
 
If Dorion somehow makes a move for bro Tkachuk they'll likely rename a street in Ottawa after him, although that was probably already happening after the Murray deal
 
Yeah, no cap concerns to the Habs once the season starts and they can use LTIR, but it is still amazing that they are that close to the cap given the state of the roster and the fact that they purged Weber and Petry. They have 9 forwards at $3.4 million AAV or more. That's pretty nuts.
