Thread: Habs 18-19 take 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BaseballCoach</b></div><div>Pass on Plek. DeLaRose outplayed him after the deadline.

Patches with one year left may not get you a top 6 center that is signed long-term. So you may have to target other pending UFAs like Matt Duchene.

So you get Duchene, who costs more than Patches, but you lose the winger he could team up with.

This could work if we sign 2 offensive wingers in UFA from the trio of JVR, Neal and Perron, but there is no guarantee we hold onto Duchene long.</div></div>

Don't want Duchenes either, way overated. And I'm not saying I want Plek, just saying that they'll sign him. We need top 6 centers and their's none to be found on this clus ( Drouin ain't NO center ). We could try for Stasny but it would take a 4 to 5 yrs contract to sign him, way too long.

Thread: Habs 18-19 take 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fahtifahta123</b></div><div>Leaving the D as is is going to be a hard sell after it fell flat last year.
Why sign T. Plekanec for 3.5 mil, he should cost way less and I'd rather spend the 3.5 to increase an offer for someone like Stastny.
The O'Reilly deal isn't bad but I don't think Buffalo takes it,
The Habs have a ton of Cap Space to jump on guys like Perron, Neal, JvR for wingers and could still ship Patche's out for a center</div></div>

There's no D out there to get.
I think so too but you never know.
Don't want Perron, Neal.... Wouldn't say no to JVR but we already have the wingers and Patches won't get us a top 6 center because the other teams are waiting for us with their greedy little paws out.
You won't get Plek for less. He will receive bigger contracts from other teams.

Thread: DHALIN, RNH, ETC
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pensfan89</b></div><div>The more I see the patches for RNH trade, the more I hate it for MTL and the more I hate it for Edmonton too tbh. They are only getting their piece for 1.5 years while MTL gets theirs at 3.5 years. Centers are more valuable also which is why I hate it for Edmonton. Edmonton I feel also has a bigger need for a RHD. Maybe something like Petry + Galchenyuk for RNH + Lucic. That would make room for Juulsen to take that 2nd RD spot and not force MTL to pay over 5 mil for a 3rd pair RD. Edmonton gets a 2nd pair RHD and solidifies their top 4 and gets out of the Lucic experiment. And it’s only like +2 mil in cap for Montreal so they can afford it. At least for the next 2 years. Just kind of spit balling. Possibly throw in a pick from Edmonton for MTL taking the bigger contract in Lucic.</div></div>

The big problem with that is we have Gallagher and Shaw that already play that role so we don't need Lucic.
