I wouldn't give up Lane Hudson alone for Dubois let alone all the other stuff. If he becomes a free agent take a run at him other than that it's just ain't worth it.

Friedman said on his podcast that Jets and Habs have talked about Dubois and that he's 95% sure that Dubois ends up in MTL. I don't really see how the habs can trade for him especially if he can sign as a FA next year, but Friedman mentions that talks are ongoing.

Any suggestions for a trade?

No hurry for the HABS. Gallagher contract MUST be moved! HABS have many picks now maybe move some of the lesser stars however no $ retained or at least no longer than 1 year if that is possible .,

Colorado : Alex Newhook, Matthew Stienburg
Montreal : Dvorak

Montreal gets a young talented forward to bolster their young core who's also a former first round pick. His developmental curve

With more than 6.8M in deadline cap space, Colorado gets a shutdown 3rd line center who's really good on faceoffs, eats a lot of PK minutes and has offensive upside. They also get a 4th rounder to replace the one they traded away for MacDermid. This deal would solidify their center position for years to come.

I see this deal as a similar one to the Lehkonen trade where they traded Barron and a 2nd for him. Dvorak is on a similar deal as Lehkonen currently, he will probably benefit with being on a more offensive-minded team than Montreal. Newhook's value is a bit higher than Barron's value and Stienburg's value is a bit lower than a 2nd, so both players equal a similar value as the Lehkonen return for MTL.

Ok, here we go.

Mtl: Josh Anderson

Cgy: 2023 1st, Jeremie Poirier

Before there is any projectile pants filling by the detractors, please research Poirier as a prospect.
This trade would fit the pattern displayed last year by Hughes: "No, we don't want to trade Lehkonen." Then he is traded for a prospect and a 2nd.
Yes, Anderson and Lehkonen are different players, and we can debate Barron vs Poirier, but Flames' 1st this year is worth much more than Avs' 2nd last year.

We have an abundance of LD!

MTL - Edmunson with salary retained

To whoever doesn't matter really we will use one of the other trades one here

LA - 1st and 4th

Follow that up with

MTL - Monahan with salary retained

COL - 1st

Then the fun starts

MTL - Josh Anderson, 3rd or 4th

CAL - Jakob Pelletier, 1st, plus a salary dump player

MTL - 1st (fla), 1st (col), 1st 2025 (mtl or cal which ever is worse

ARI - Jakob Chychrun

If unable to trade monahan at that price use the other 1st received from CAL in Anderson deal

Rebuild is fast tracked with 2 really good players still selected in the 1st rd in 2023 and chychrun only being 24

17 Feb 2023 20:39:13
Would be nice however I think Anderson is worth more than 3rd - 4 th . We shall see!

18 Feb 2023 00:50:57
It was Anderson + 3rd or 4th to Calgary for Pelletier and a 1st.

18 Feb 2023 16:20:57
That would work!

15 Feb 2023 16:10:26
VEGAS: Jake Allen (50% retained)

MTL: 2023 1st & 6th


- Vegas needs insurance in G, and Allen is the kind of personality that gets along with everyone.

- Vegas currently has $4166 Cap Space at the deadline. This trade gives them $891,666 in deadline space to go shopping and address additional needs

19 Feb 2023 15:55:36
Allen is still a good goalie however he can be traded for the right price.

Montreal Canadiens:
- LD Joel Edmundson ($3.5m for 1 more year after this season)**

LA Kings:
- 2023 First round draft pick

** Montreal retains 30% of Edmundson's salary ($1.05m)

09 Feb 2023 16:43:43
MTL: Edmundson

LA: 1st + 4th (2023)


- Edmundson won the Cup in 2019 with STL & went to the Finals in 2021 with MTL. (That kind of experience matters to NHL GM's).

- At a reasonable 3.5M this year and next, he's a key add for someone with an open window.

- LA, EDM & CAR are rumoured to be interested. With his past playoff performance and size he will be in demand.

He is currently day-to-day, and with the trade deadline 3 weeks from tomorrow, it will be interesting to see if this goes to the deadline, or if someone pulls a "Lou" and nabs him early.

LA & CAR don't need to send MTL a bad contract to fit him in, or require retention, but needless to say that will cost extra in trade capital.

10 Feb 2023 13:37:11
Good trade for all concerned!

10 Feb 2023 18:47:12
I think Montreal might have to eat some salary but a first from anybody is good enough.

02 Feb 2023 15:25:59
MTL: Hoffman

CGY: 4th ('23)

or 2nd ('23) with 50% retention.


Treliving wants a shooter, and Hoffman has looked much better in the past month. With a better C feeding that shot of his he would be far more productive than the 20-goal pace he's on.
