For example, let's pick a guy from one of the teams in the tweet. The Islanders seem like the most realistic of the four. It wouldn't be Ladd who's signed longer and is more expensive but maybe someone like Leo Komarov who makes $3 million and is signed for the same term. The Habs then retain $1.625 million to make it cap-neutral for the Islanders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you look at those teams and look at the type of players Bergevin goes for plus add the same type of salary, then names of players per team could be this Dallas--- theres no one that match's the contract or type of player so no deal with them Colorado-- theres soderberg (2 years left and 4.75 mil) or cole (3 years left at 4.25mil) NYI--- theres clutterbuck (4 years left at 3.5mil) that's about it there. Toronto-- I don't really see them taking Alzner since they got there own cap issues with there young guys unless they offer us Zaitsev but he has 6 years left at 4.25mil. So the only real deal I see Bergevin doing would be with Colorado Alzner for Cole. Again that's just with those teams in that tweet and factoring in the same type of contract and type of player Bergevin goes for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanzal has similar money but shorter term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we are in a big need for a center anymore, so I don't think Hanzal is a need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upside to the trade is more shedding the contract earlier than it is filling a need. The odds of dealing Alzner and getting a roster upgrade back are pretty slim.

The point of the deal is to get free of the cap hit 2 years earlier Who cares if its Hanzal on the fourth line (or in the AHL) or if its Alzner in the AHL The point is that you can be out from the deal sooner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Does Schlemko have any value? A 4th rounder? A 5th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Habs got him for a 5th from Vegas so I'd imagine his value is around that spot - maybe a 4th given that there isn't as much of a long-term commitment left on his deal. I wonder if Dallas would consider Methot plus a small incentive for Schlemko (Methot's out indefinitely and there are serious questions as to whether he'll be able to play at an NHL level when he gets back). Dallas gets cap relief for this season, the Habs clear the roster logjam for now at least and some money for next season and get a pick/AHL help for their troubles.

Coyle's having a rough year and the Habs have shown interest in him in the past. My understanding is that the Habs nixed an offer of Coyle for the draft pick used to take Poehling back in 2017, a non-move that looks pretty good at the moment.

Metallica Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Maybe Drews team Canada buddies can talk him into signing here on July 1st. Him weber and petry would look nice on the right side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Considering the Habs are in St. Louis tonight, this could solely be related to that but Montreal has had two scouts at two of the last three Blues home games. I know Bergevin said he wouldn't go after rentals but I think he meant more of impact rentals that would cost a key part of the future. St. Louis has a couple of d-men I could see Bergevin being interested in if it's a low cost (Gunnarsson/Bouwmeester). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Mete levels up and sticks as Weber's partner, Bouwmeester could work for Petry. Have Kulak and Reilly platoon as the 6-7 guys on the 3rd pairing with Benn (or Juulsen.) I don't hate it. Edit: Cost has got to be really low though. Bouwmeester's playoff performances have been iffy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I sit tight and throw a big chunk of cap space at Jake Gardiner on July 1st. Maybe try a Hudon trade where you get someone like a Brett Kulak who is buried on a depth chart. I would move Jordie Benn for a pick. I would try to clear Schlemko's contract if there is any interest (doubtful) even for a late pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott462 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 If we make the playoffs, do we still want to move Jordie Benn though? I think he is a serviceable defender on the third line. I think he is more of a off season move if anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
