they have weak prospect pools now, but I think they had OK depth at the beginning of their dominant runs. They traded some of their prospects to patch holes in their lineups

 

The point is that its almost impossible to do both... keep filling the prospect pool so it stays strong while also contending.

Definitely appears to be a bit of a sellers market.

 

I don't think they get a 2nd.  I could see a third and a conditional pick (depending on individual production/team playoff success) but the optics are different with Kovalchuk than anyone else given that he was available for free six weeks ago.

13. There’ve been a lot of rumours about Max Domi, but I did have one source call them “Fake News.” (The source wasn’t Donald Trump.)

Scandella cost a 4th six weeks ago. Circumstances change. Pay up.

I know values change but Doug Armstrong can justify paying the higher price tag with the 50% retention.  Had Buffalo done that, they would have gotten more than a 4th initially.  Kovalchuk being a free agent (and starting to slow down lately) is going to linger.  I hope I'm wrong though.

The optics on scandella were that he was available for a lot less 6 weeks ago too....  its the same optics IMO.

Bergevin just got a 2nd for scandella. If he gets Bergevin a 2nd, then kovalchuk gets him a 1st.

 

This is for all the Bergevin lovers on here well done Bergevin 👍

Colorado has interest in Tatar according to  Avs beat writer. 
 

Not sure how much steam this has but would love Conor Timmins + in return.

 

I'm assuming this is the source on that one?  Dater breaks the odd thing but he is also wrong a ton.

 

 

Tatar is also mentioned here but Kiszla is more of a columnist than a beat reporter.

 

A request to everyone - please post the links as to where you're finding reports from.  It makes it easier for everyone to see rather than having to go dig it up themselves if they want to find out where it's coming from.

Based on what Coleman got.... (and yes, his contract is 1.8 per year)... if the Habs retain 50% on Tatar, you have to be able to get at least the same package.  Tatar is just a much better player than Coleman.  And yes that includes the PK prowess of Coleman.

If Bergevin can't get a 1st for kovalchuk, I will package the 2nd round pick we just got from St.Louis along with kovalchuk for a 1st round pick coming back to us.

 

Youre probably better off waiting to the draft to trade 2 2mds for a first.  Then you only move up if the guy you like is available

If Montreal offers teams Kovalchuk and a 2nd round pick for a 1st, they don’t need to wait tell the draft. If they wait tell the draft Kovalchuk value becomes useless.
