IN THE HEARTS OF MEN

I'd also consider that this is the craziness of Montreal... and it's mid July and here we all are. Obsessed with Les Glorieux and the state of last years #1 or Reinbacher or the Newhook deal.... sh*t even Galchenyuk is a hot topic and he's been gone for years now

Bobby Smith...

Engstrom played well today... Hutson is unbelievable. He shouldn't be at development camp. He's too good

To be clear. I'm not saying anything, but there is a lot of good info coming out of that podcast with all its contributors... including Tony and his opinion (which is just his opinion). TSN 690 is no different.

I disagree... hes had alot of people on his new podcast including big guns like Gorton Hughes and countless contributors... to dismiss his personal opinion outright completely would be wrong as well The fact he and McCagg both saying Mailloux is most NhL ready at development camp should be considered. Is there someone else who you would consider more NHL ready and actually seen them at camp?

Wideman will be waived and down in Laval. Moving Edmundson gives more minutes to Harris and Xhekaj for the whole season and that carries weight on its own... Edmundson has been hurt for the better part of 2 seasons and the kids are to good to have to wait half a season for Edmundson to build up his value further

Not only have they anointed him... they've never even seen him play a game... With that said. I wanted him

A Dman goes in top 5 for the last million years.. should of bet the house the Habs wouldn't buck the trend

One thing that stands out to me... his goals! They are all goals that show his speed and agility and talent nothing garbage

Clearly another move is imminent...

Suzuki Dach Newhook Monahan* Dvorak Evans Beck Pretty sure they are drafting a winger unless we are flipping a C

Another C almost ensures habs drafting a winger?

Rarely does a trade of this manner get to the media like this... where the trade is reported more thena day before it happens... feeling this is a ploy to maximize montreals offer... Stick to your guns Hughes... NO TO Dach or its a sideways deal... backwards actually

There is zero chance #5 is given up for PLD... zero! And there is also zero rush in moving Gallagher today for cap relief. We aren't up against it. More relief next year with Pitlick Hofmann and edmudson off the books at 9 million total... PLD for FLA 1st, Beck and Dvorak(cost 1st and 3rd) or 1st in 2024, 2nd 2023 and Dvorak. That's it... or switch out Beck for Farell or any prospect NOT on the big team yet and not named Hutson, Mailloux, Engstrom Roy, Kidney or #5.... IMO

If habs in fact trade for PLD rights he will be signing for 8 years I'm and around Suzuki caufield dollars. Don't be fooled by the 9 million rumours, that's all to put teams off of trading for him. He is forcing his way to MTL personally...

Dach will fully blossom this season... if he remains healthy

No thanks

I hear Perrault is the real driver on the Will Smith line...

There's a good list of 14 15 players I would not include in a deal as I would want to see more from them at this point rather then give up on them in a deal for PLD.. personally

I've already said I would rather stay put with the D we have...

Dont waste my time Don

Would it be a big decision though? The obvious choice would be Matvei Mitchkov at that point. I would not be passing him up at 5 personally.

I dont think MTL is drafting a goalie at 37... I also think Leonard at 5 is a reach

Of course not... who is saying that? but a package sending one of the non highlighted players I would be ok with... Obviously, you would need to give to receive. I would be willing to move Barron and Harris as young D and Savard and Edmundson as VET Dmen in a deal. Everyone else I am not comfortable moving at the moment.

I'd be willing to move the players not highlighted to upgrade the right side. The answer is not in the UFA market Matheson Barron Guhle Savard Harris Kovacevic Edmundson Wideman Xhekaj Mailloux Engstrom However, Im content to watch the prospects evolve and just play with a young d core again next season. I think Wideman gets waived before opening roster
