The NHL needs to change these things
MTL fan here. Clear cut priority #1 should be to change the cap rules to make it state tax-adjusted. There will ne no parity in this league while Canadian teams have to pay a 20% premium to retain their stars - e.g. there's no way Matthew Tkachuk would have signed for less than 11M$/yr had he stayed in CGY.

A realistic outlook on the state of the franchise
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Steve_321</b></div><div>Love it but what would you actually do</div></div>
Well, I don't know. So many things could go one way or another... My idea of what the blueprint should be is focus ALL roster building decisions on adding elite talent. This can be achieved by internal growth, i.e. giving the coaching staff a mandate to put the emphasis on player development (what GMKH is already doing), by leveraging cap space/draft capital/non core players for higher prized assets (what he's also doing), or by additions through the FA market, although truly succesful FA signings seldomly happen, and carry considerable risk due to bidding wars. Plus, you can't ignore the fact that 15% of the cap is tied up until 2027 on 2 declining wingers, hampering the team's chances to compete before then.
There's nothing more to do for now but wait. Its like you're sitting at a poker table and were handed a 2 and a 3. You've got a chance for a suit, but you have to wait for the next cards to get flipped before you can decide on anything.

Yes to Zegras
I like the proposal, in terms of value I think this is close. But...
As much as I'd like to see a super skilled player like Zegras on my favorite team, you can't get away from the fact that he's already 5 years closer to his 30s than a top 5 pick from the 2024 draft. Plus the Habs aren't one top 6 forward away from contention. Its too soon to trade high draft capital for established players.

Life Advice
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsFanForSomeReason</b></div><div>Hope this thread will lead to helpful interactions for lots of people on here, but what spurred me to create it is my situation that I'll explain:
So I had started seeing someone a while back - near the beginning of August and we were officially together before the end of the month. Things were going great. She's a fantastic person who made my life so much brighter in so many ways. Around mid-late November though she had to move for a promotion (so proud of her!) that would relocate her to Ottawa, about 8-9 hours drive away from me. We had talked about the possibility of me joining her, which I was on board with. It would mean a big step for a relationship only a few months old, but I wanted us to progress, and so did she. We both felt like this could be something special. Here's where the hitch comes in...
So I should explain that there is an age gap; I'm 23 soon to be 24, she's 27 soon to be 28. The thing is that she has timeline that's very important to her (for private personal reasons that I won't share) where she wants to be in, or at least starting, the marriage and kids stage at 30. So, in large part because of that timeline, she asked me not to come unless I was 110% sure that we would work out and be able to stick to that plan. And I don't know, as much as the thought of that future with her makes me happy, it seems like a lot to promise after just 4ish months. It feels like it may as well be a proposal - no ring involved but I'd be giving my word that, yes, beyond a shadow of a doubt, we will have that life.
And so we broke up. I didn't feel right about promising all that. Not because I don't want it, but because if I were to agree to that and then for whatever reason it didn't work out, I'd feel like the biggest jerk in the world for wrecking her plans/timeline. I want her to have the life that she wants and deserves and I could never forgive myself if I were the reason she didn't.
But now I'm just sitting here, missing her so much, and wondering if I'm being stupid for walking away from a life I feel I would have been happy in because I felt like I was being rushed into it...
Thanks for taking the time to read, if you did. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. And please, if you have any problems or questions of your own, by all means add them to the thread.</div></div>
Its a bit odd to answer such a question from a perfect stranger on a hockey related forum, but I do relate to your story, so here's my advice. From the way you describe the way you feel about this relationship, it looks like you will double think this decision for the next 20 years. I have no way to tell whether the move is worth it, but you're 24, what do you have to lose? But take it step by step: you could move to Ottawa to show her you mean business, but make it known that the mariage/kids committment will happen when you'll be ready. Having kids is such a life changing decision, and it can be so much fun, it shouldn't be forced upon you, not even by your loved one.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Joblow</b></div><div>Reinbacher have a much higher hockey IQ. I love Schneider but to even entertain the idea of this trade would be madness. Reinbacher is a right handed Kaiden Guhle. They won’t put 80 points a season but they will be elite defenders with elite skating ability, with a physical edge and enough skill to jump of the rush and puts their fair share of 5 on 5 points. Thats my friend beside a franchise players is the most valuable thing to have in your team. Schneider at most will play 20 minutes. Those guy’s will get 25+ in their prime. With Hutson they would be a perfect complement. Unless Habs gets young promising forward with elite potential they aren’t moving a right Reinbacher.</div></div>

For what its worth, Bader's NHLe model dont match your perception. At this point in time, Schneider is more of a known commodity. But I agree with the overall consensus, this move doesn't fall under "potential win" category for MTL, so perhaps its not much of a good idea after all.

Caufield has become a better player with the puck
Good thing his passing play has improved, cause it's blatant when you watch the defense played against the PP1 unit, opposing teams have a Caufield play book - they systematically shut the shooting lanes on him. But this opens up the passing lanes, as we saw on Monahan's goal yesterday.

Vlasic-36yo(contract ends at 39yo)
Gallagher-31yo(contract ends at 35yo)
Gallagher costs $500k less, and is currently playing well(3 in 5).
Not only is Vlasic a Lhd, but he's old too.

If we're trading Gally from last year, then maybe. But right now they'd never do this, and I'm pretty sure a 36yo whose played his whole career in San Jose wouldn't be too happy with a trade, nor would his longterm teammates.(and same w mtl) Gallagher is also one of the biggest locker room presences right now on a team trying to emulate his work ethic, and has been his whole career.
I also think that Vlasic not having a letter on a team he's been on for 18 years is something.
Saying they have relatively weak depth at Lhd is ludicrous, and then giving them a 36yo 2Lhd on the Sharks as an upgrade is just weird. Montreal is also one of the richest organizations, money ain't a problem at all. Trading someone whose given countless injuries and LITERAL blood sweat and tears for 1 year of cap relief is honestly laughable. Sending him to a team that's gonna be worse would do nothing but break bridges and harm reputations. Realistically neither player fits Montreals window of competition. They'll both be retired.
I'm sorry if I came off as angry, and I do agree Gally's not the player he was, but come on.</div></div>
It may voiced by resentment, but your argument perfectly sums all the reasons why this trade falls short. Kudos.

Well, looking at macroeconomics, the cap could not break 90M$ before 2030. Paying 10M+ for a star player might be a trend, hockey remains a weakest link sport. Alloting 12% of the lone resource you can't control to 1/23 of the roster sure looks like a risky move. EDM and TOR do have stars, but they don't win cause they don't have the cap room to surround them.

Montreal Canadiens signed Cole Caufield (8 Years / $7,850,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Seems a little steep. Carolina can ice Svechnikov - Aho - Necas for 18 million for example and then role out Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Jarvis which is an entire top six for not that much more. Combine that with of Dach playing out of position as a natural center, there's a lot of questions. It's a line that's fine going forward, but struggles defensively. It's also a line that has been inconsistent in its production. Committing 25% of the salary cap to it seems... rough</div></div>
I mean, come on. You can't compare contracts from a state where the maximum marginal taxe rate is under 30% to contracts awarded by a Canadian team, especially the one located in a province where the marginal taxe rate is 53,31% for every dollar earned above 235K CAD/yr. From MTL perspective, getting a full top line inked for under 20M is just shrewd business.

That's a very reasonable ask for Dubois, but still a no if I'm GMKH. MTL isn't one or two players away from contention, they have like 5-6 holes to fill and need to tank for another season or two. Can't WPG find another trade partner for PLD, like the Kings? Bergevin was reportedly very high on him.
