    Agreed... its not like LA was some stacked team and couldnt give him ice time.

     

    Id honestly be good with another 1 year deal for kovy next season.  Even at considerably more money than this year


    Indeed.

     

    The guy still has something left in the tank. Montreal needs skill and he’s got it.

    It was a nice goal. I would like him to do way more though. 


    Yeah this kid was always going to be a project, you can see he’s trying to work on his offensive upside and that shot was sexy.

     

    I think KK will work out in the end, he just needs time.

    I'm the exact opposite: trade Kovalchuk, probably Scandella too, possibly keep Thompson. 

     

    Kovalchuk wants to win the Cup. I believe he signed in Montreal because it's a high profile city and he knew he'd get a ton of ice time to showcase himself. He'll want to move to a contender at the deadline, and the Habs should trade him.

     

    If the Habs get an offer on Scandella at the deadline to recoup the pick they gave up to get him, I think they should probably take it. Teams always want more D depth in the playoffs, and with retained salary he might even fetch a 3rd round pick.

     

    Thompson, well, I'd rather he play >10 minutes a night on the 4th line than Poehling (or Evans, or Vejdemo.) If he asks to be traded obviously do it, but if he wants to stay then he is of better service to the team than the probable 6th round pick that he'd fetch.


    That’s perfectly understandable, I just think Scandella and Kovy are looking good right now and like I said could help the team in the short term for next year than say the fourth and possibly third round picks that they might fetch.

     

    With Thompson I personally feel his time here might be coming to a close, he is a solid fourth line centre but with his age and as he seems to be regressing I’m sure there could be better options but I may be wrong about that.

    Is our plan flawed?

    Because We have decent 24 year olds in Drouin 2020 and Lehkonen 2020 to play with Suzuki and make Domi a good trading chip for a 1st round pick in the 2020 lottery 


    He is by far our best forward, again it makes no sense to trade him. People keep harping on the fact that this team needs more raw talent. We should be keeping and holding on to our young talented players that are in the age group of the new core.

     

    The Tatar’s and Petry’s should be the ones targeted for another 1st round pick in 2020.

    I disagree. Keep Domi until you *know* that Suzuki and KoKo can be top-6 C. (I doubt that Poehling will ever be that, as this is not really his profile).


    Even then why are we trading away our most talented forwards that have not even entered there primes yet? Domi can be moved to the wing in the event those guys are ready for C.

     

    And honestly the way Suzuki is struggling defensively and KK in general I don’t think that’s even a good argument.

    He is a high value asset that may bring in a 1st round pick from a desperate team.

    we have a potential replacement in Suzuki and sufficient prospect depth at centre 


    Sure his value is high but he’s 24 years old and Montreal’s best offensive forward.

     

    Why would we trade that away for a prospect that might not even be as good as him?

    I am not too disappointed in the current underperformance of CH because my expectations were low this season.

    I cheered when they were overachieving and I will be quieter now that they are crumbling under injuries and rookie mulistakes.

     

    The path for me this year is to hang onto Price and Weber. Trade Petry and shop Domi just in case a desperate team with aging centres gives up a 1st round pick (PHI? MIN?)

    Other than that, I would play the kids and get the most out of Kovalchuk and cie.


    I honestly see no reason to trade Domi, he is still so young and hasn’t reached his prime yet and has shown that he is capable of producing at a high level. Domi is apart of the new core going forward.

    If you're referring to selling pure rentals, those few players are Kovalchuk, Scandella, and Thompson. Not a great haul of prospects coming back there.

     

    If you're thinking more in the way of selling guys with term, we'll see if management has decided they don't want to try for a playoff spot next year if guys like Weber, Tatar, or Petry get dealt. 


    Well I think Thompson should probably be shopped, Scandella and Kovalchuk I’m not sure, they might be able to help short term.

     

    I’m not advocating a full sell off, we still need veterans on the team as multiple people have pointed out. I think we should keep Weber and Price but Petry I honestly think we should consider, he would surely bring back a first and or a top prospect, Tatar should be considered as well, even though he is a top 6 forward that is still relatively young enough to help the team short and long term. I’m not a fan of selling off everything and honestly I don’t think it’s needed, this is a good team when they are healthy and on point, they just need more skill and need to continue drafting and developing it over the next few years.

     

    Edit: Having another first in this years draft would be great considering how deep it is this year, enter Jeff Petry.
