Realistic team coming into next year

Created by: Caufield
Team: 2024-25 Montreal Canadiens
Initial Creation Date: Jun. 20, 2024
Published: Jun. 20, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Tandem will 100% be Monty-Primeau, don’t see that changing.

We will very likely add a U26 guy in the team, like we have in the past, but not sure it’s necessary going to be a guy we project as a long term top 6 option, so likely no Zegras or Necas

AHL/other league players that will make a run for a team spot: Mailloux, Hutson, Kapanen, Beck, Heineman

I think one of Dvorak, RHP, or Armia will be traded, and Pezz will start in the AHL, meaning there are 3 roster spots for young forwards of a newly acquired forward

Trades
1.
MTL
COL
  1. Dvorak, Christian
Additional Details:
0 idea of what will be a Dvorak trade, (any team) but I think Hughes is ready to retain as much as possible if needed
2.
MTL
  1. Rossi, Marco
Additional Details:
Definitely not a front runner for a Habs trade, but I do see him as a good option, and will make a run for a top 6 spot, even long term
MIN
  1. Kapanen, Oliver
  2. Struble, Jayden
  3. 2024 1st round pick (WPG)
  4. 2025 3rd round pick (NJD)
Additional Details:
The WPG 1st is 100% included in this deal

A defense will also be included, although likely more of a bottom pair guy, like Struble or Harris. Then MIN will also get a decent forward prospect, and maybe another pick if they negotiate well
3.
MTL
  1. 2026 3rd round pick (TOR)
TOR
  1. Kovacevic, Johnathan
Additional Details:
Probably not TOR just because it’s a rival team, but TOR makes a bunch of sense nonetheless

You think Kovacevich is worth a 3rd? Toronto passed and has no interest. I think you’d be lucky to get a 5th from the rest of the League

Kovy's value is a sixth round pick. A salary retention is needed in a Dvorak trade.

No there isn’t lol, you maybe just see the one trade a week from that one guy and think it’s a common theme because you’re focusing on the Habs trades, I can assure you there are very very very few Kovacevic for a 3rd trades in all of Leafs ACGM

No joke, 90% of leafs trade including Habs (from leafs perspective) is a Kovy trade for a 3rd or 4th

If I was MIN, I would be interested in:

Rossi —> Guhle + 26oa
or
13oa —> Guhle + 26oa

The more I hear about Guhle, I think he’d be great next to Faber for the next 10-12 yrs.

Guhle is not going anywhere and is worth more than Rossi. Not sure MTL gives Guhle for 13th OA and Rossi, that’s how locked in he is in MTL

Unrealistic as there is no way Colorado is taking on Dvorak. You can write 'any team' all you like but sending him to a team that simply doesn't have cap to take him on is simply silly and lazy, just like toronto fans doing it with Kampf & Jarnkrok.

If there were players/picks involved on Colorado's side, then I'd agree. But if he just selected Colorado from the drop-down...then jesus, just chill out. Plenty of other COL ACGMs to actually freak out about.

The laziness gets boring and it's a repetitive theme amongst the two worst fanbases in the league. So no.....I won't just 'chill out'......mainly because I'm perfectly fine as I am!

The fanbases that still pack the arenas when they finish bottom 5? That doesn't like the "worst" to me. You could always just look at the trade and back out, I mean is there really any trade you'd take from MTL? You'd have to assume that it's a bad trade or no-trade at this point. People are still going to make these kind of ACGMs, until it's gone

Worst online and for basic stupidity...absolutely. As for looking at the trade....this is a forum for commenting on trades, no? Would I take any trade from MTL? I'm sure there are ones that could be sensible and reasonable or at least ACTUALLY realistic in some way shape or form. I mean if one puts that in the title and then post something that's not realistic one can expect to get picked up on it. Can't recall ever seeing one from a Habs fan though, and doubt I ever will as the site goes down soon.

It's not realistic that Dvorak would be gone? I'd say it's 50/50. The title implies realistic roster, not trades. On the other point, in fairness, MTL hasn't had much to work with over the years in terms of talent. I wouldn't call it stupidity, but more desperation in hopes of "building" a winning team in fantasy land. Colorado has been a wagon, so there's no need for COL fans to make "stupid" trades. The fans are happy with what they have. It's a fun fantasy simulator, so fans are going to try trades that would get approved in NHL 24 to benefit their teams.

To be a realistic team then the trades have to be realistic or it doesn't happen. Pretty simple. As for NHL 24 as a basis....... rolling eyes

If it bothers you so much, it’s not a trade, it just means that Dvorak will be trade somewhere, and that he isn’t part of the 2024-25 squad

As I've already said it may be somewhere it almost certainly won't be the Avs. Even saying 'anywhere' at least pick a team that has cap space to do it as to move him it will basically be something like FCs coming back.

Maybe not to you but maybe it does ****ing matter to people who follow the other team. Try using what was put between your ears!
