Markov probably would have helped in 2017-18
 

That spot would still be a crater the past two seasons, only it would be sad watching Markov who is no longer an NHL player, skate around in that crater for one of those years. 

Ideally he would have kept Markov and not traded Sergechev and let Markov groom Sergechev

Anyway, here is what we should do :

1. Offersheet Sergachev at a hight, but still matchable price.

2. Throw the real offersheet to Cirelli couple days later.

 

:D

Cant see Bergevin offering on Sergy and no way Tampa is letting him walk, they will likely trade a forward or two for picks and maybe bye bye to McDonagh if need be, before not signing a 22 yr old 6'2" 220lb stud d-man...why did Bergy ever trade him...he looks to be exactly what we thought he would be when drafted.:cry_smile:

Interesting strategy ... the "hiccup" is that TBL have a week to decide whether or not to match ... Habs cannot make another offer hat would require any of those picks as compensation until TBL officially notifies the NHL they are matching ... like Carolina, TBL would undoubtedly wait the full week to advise the N HL of their decision ... besides, Sergachev has to decide he is willing to play in Montreal if the offer isn't matched ... don't see him ever signing an offer sheet unless it was for Carey Price-like money ... if Cirelli is the end-game might as well just offer sheet him directly ... TBL are still up against the cap ... they either dump other useful players to make room or take the draft picks to sustain them longterm ... but not certain Cirelli fills any need ... average-sized centre, so only a slight upgrade in that sense, and is only a 19.5g/82 gm scorer ... another 20-25 goal scorer doesn't really improve the team ... and, while he admittedly got little PP time with TBL but it is risky to build an offer on the assumption that PP time will significantly up his stats

If Sergachev doesn't like the offer, he doesn't sign the sheet, and the Habs don't need to wait. And no one will ever even know an offer sheet was sent to him.

I think Brayden Point got offer from Habs but turned it down.

That was rumoured, yes. But it's very rare to see any kind of official confirmation on rejected offer sheets.
