Habs rumours 2

If Montreal doesn’t match Kotkaniemi

To Montreal :
C - Jack Eichel


To Buffalo :
2022 - First-Round Selection ( MTL )
2022 - First-Round Selection ( CAR )
2022 - Second-Round Selection ( NJD )
LD - Kaiden Guhle
RW - Tyce Thompson


To New Jersey :
LW - Jonathan Drouin



T Toffoli - J Eichel - C Caufield
M Hoffman - N Suzuki - B Gallagher
A Lehkonen - J Evans - J Anderson
R Poehling - C Paquette - J Armia.

MTL declines to include Guhle, and counter with:

- Two 1st (2022 MTL and CAR)
- 2nd and 3rd (2022)
- Drouin
- Ylonen

This would be as generous as I would consider for Eichel. If Buf asks for more I'd understand, but I'd walk.

Maybe try and throw Byron in there as well for salary purposes. Might have to add a pick.

Mtl: Romanov

Calgary:Monahan@50 retain

24 Aug 2021 16:04:53
Everyone sure seems to want Romanov.

Easy no for both teams. The Habs love Romanov, and Calgary hasn't come to grips with their need to rebuild.

18 Aug 2021 01:31:19
To Calgary :
D - Alexander Romanov

To Montreal :
(2022) First-Round Selection
C - Adam Ruzicka
D - Oliver Kylington.

MTL says no thank you.

15 Aug 2021 20:16:27
Arizona: Dvorak

Habs: Evans
Byron
Fairbrother
#2 2023
#3 2021


Still think Habs could use help up the middle and to get rid of Byron's contract. The center market is as always, thin.

17 Aug 2021 18:00:12
Dvorak is a nice piece, but with his low cap hit, Arizona will get some pretty sweet offers.

11 Aug 2021 17:15:10
Habs: Elias Pettersson

Canucks: KK, Romanov and Gally.

13 Aug 2021 02:51:13
What makes you think Petterson is worth anywhere near that much. That is a crazy offer for a guy that has done nothing in the league. Very thankful you are not the GM.

14 Aug 2021 13:53:44
Absolutely not.

MTL
Hoffman
Maybe additional mid draft pick.

CAL
Monahan


Habs are weak in the middle. Strong on the wings.

09 Aug 2021 15:37:31
3 Things:

- no one trades a free agent they just signed before they've player their first game. a team that did that would NEVER be trusted again.

- the Habs center ice position was a strength last year.

- Monahan is a career minus -31 who is on decline, so MTL says "no thanks, we're not taking that cap dump. try Phoenix. They'll accept the cap dump for some draft picks.

09 Aug 2021 00:46:47
The Habs I think need help up the middle.
Need more experience but stay within the core of the forwards.
I'm thinking.
MTL
Kotkaniemi
To
ARI
Dvorak.

I think Dvorak adds more to the Habs right now than Kotkaniemi.
Kotkaniemi brings youth to the constant rebuilding Coyotes.

OR.
The Habs did sign Perreault. He does have some offensive skills and is pretty good on the face offs. Maybe move him to 3rd line centre.
1C Suzuki
2C. Kotkaniemi
3C. Perreault
4C. Evan.

Mtl: Gallagher

Cal:Monahan

Straight up deal. Calgary needs wingers that play with grit and intensity. Montreal needs another big center that can produce. Both carry about same cap hit but Monahan is for another 2 years and Gallagher 5 more I believe.

09 Aug 2021 15:39:32
Calgary fans are sure trying to get someone to take Monahan.

And for our next Captain, Gally?

MTL says get that garbage off my lawn, and don't call back.

06 Aug 2021 14:51:08
Johansson 2.0 mill. retained

Evans
Byron
Fairbrother
#2 2022

Looks like Nashville is doing a rebuild. A couple young players and a pick to get rid of most of that salary. Habs get a mid six center who needs a change of scenery.

06 Aug 2021 17:26:32
His best years were 8 or 9 years ago. HUGE no from MTL.

06 Aug 2021 23:47:29
Not looking for his best years. 55 to 60 points and a decent 2 way game is what he brings to the table.

08 Aug 2021 15:20:32
8M and often injured, no thanks. He's been available forever and no one has bitten.

If we were trading for a center, I'd rather Dvorak. He's younger and will score 25-30, and eat big minutes. He's signed for a low cap hit, and would only take a couple of pieces to get him, according to gohabsgo. com.

How about Kotkaneimi & Drouin for Dubois?
