Thread: ask Nylander to waive his NMC
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>Marner's only problem is he plays the playoffs as if they're equal to the regular season (which they should be called the same) that's a problem on the NHL not Marner.


Marner = 1 goal
Matthews = 1 goal
J.T. = 1 goal
Nylander = missing on a milk carton
Samsonov = average goaltending
Keefe = clueless doofus

Yet Leafs fans/media and trolls only focus on Marner.</div></div>

the fact that you think that Playoffs shouldn't be a tighter, less penalty filled game is the reason why this team hasn't won anything. The playoffs are the playoffs and they will always be like this. If he isn't able to step up and adapt he shouldn't be playing has far undersized and players like him in the past (Marty St. Louis) were able to set up. marner is a good reg season player but the NHL isn't just about the regular season. Both AM34 and willy have shown they can perform he is the only one that hasn't.

Thread: Fair Trade or Not
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>I would at least consider this from a TO perspective... Maybe the 24 1st instead of the 26 one (top 2 protected in case MTL wins the lottery, then becomes an unprotected 25 1st...), Reinbacher's a steady RHD that the Leafs could use, and it helps their prospect pool...

Farrell's a solid prospect, Harris could be flipped and Kidney's a nice long shot...

Allows TO to sign Bert and Domi and have 4+ mill in remaining cap space remaining from the Marner contract...

I can see the logic behind the trade</div></div>

It does clear up immediate cap and minimise the risk you lose him in free agency so I agree on that point. Yeah Montreal's 5th Overall (Pre Lottery) would probably bring the value up to make it worth it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drambui</b></div><div>Mtl trading up for demidov after passion on michkov would be such a ridiculous thing. ( in my opinion)

But hughes has been a very short sighted GMs when in comes to drafting, so you never know!

not saying im against it, would judt be so weird.</div></div>

I think for Michkov it came down to a personality thing. Some footage came out post draft that Habs fans speculate was discussing Michkov, so there were scouts in the room rooting for him. But Hughes has been trying to build an amazing culture in Montreal, to the point that he would say no to drafting a prospect based on that condition. If Demidov doesn't have the same issues I can see Montreal considering it if he's available when they pick.

In what way has Hughes been short sighted in his drafting? Genuine question as I don't know what pick you are referring to.

Thread: Whos this years Dach Newhook
This year's Dach/Newhook deal is imo going to be Alex Holtz (If a deal gets made). Originally people thought it was going to be Zegras but with the Ducks gm coming out and saying he's off the market then I doubt a deal will get done. Next up would be Kakko, not having a good season and ties to Gorton, makes sense for the Habs to get him. However the Rangers are in their competitive window, doesn't make a lot of sense for them to trade their still high potential 2nd overall for picks and prospects that Montreal has, we just don't have enough NHL ready forwards (That we are willing to part with*) to make a Kakko deal work.
So... Alex Holtz, Devils are in a lot shakey-er position, flopping between competing and lottering winning year in and year out. They're underusing Holtz as a perennial 4th liner, a big part of acquiring Newhook was giving a young talent a less sheltered role in order for them to excel.

Thread: My take for the offseason
Trade by trade:
Anderson is not worth a first, if he ever was, he's not anymore. Just based on what I understand about Hughes' style of trading players in and out, Anderson will get dealt 2-3 years from now, when we can retain half of his contract and not have that take up a retention slot for a quarter to half a decade, and that's if he can bounce back from this year and put up some points going forward.
Ylonen trade is fine in my opinion, unfortunately his days in Montreal are numbered. He haven't panned out the way you'd hope for a second round pick, moving him to another club makes a lot of sense.
Harris however is kinda the opposite of Ylonen, where he has panned out and established himself in the NHL, but his time in Montreal is coming to an end because we're too stacked at LHD, not because he's not performing well. He was a third round pick to begin with, he's worth a late second by himself, no extra pick necessary.
Barron still has time, and it's a little unfair to Harris to say that, but it is what it is. Montreal's depth at RHD is still so bad even after drafting Reinbacher that we actively can not afford to be shipping out RHD prospects. Just the trade by itself I think the value is fine, Jets fans probably disagree, but I don't see a world where Montreal trades Barron, unless they plan on drafting another RHD at 4-10 this year... Please dear god do not draft another D at 4-10 this year.
