  1. That's true. The trades Hughes has made (ie. Newhook, Dach) are ones that no one saw coming.
  2. I think he would love to get a young centre who could develop into a 2C but it might not be easy to find something a lot of other teams are also looking for. He did try that approach with Dach, unfortunately injuries really hampered his development as we all know.
  3. That's an interesting quote. If I am reading between the lines correctly I think he is saying that he would like to add experience but not at any cost, if the price is too high or if the guy we want is not available then we will go with the young guys we have.
  4. Yes, I see that now, I didn't see the most recent story, thought it was still ongoing. Thanks
  5. Nice interview Prospects 2025: Lynden Lakovic dreams of playing with Juraj Slafkovsky
  6. Yes, great band aid. Part of me thinks he would prefer to stay in Toronto at a discount BUT I just remembered that he is currently having a battle with CRA so money may be really important to him now as he has some uncertainty on the financial side.
  7. Interesting, Leafs looking for the big hometown discount for a guy who scored 38 goals last year. Dallas got a great deal with Duchesne who was willing to take less money because he wanted to stay, plus taxes are less in Texas. I would sign Tavares at that rate, turns 35 in September but a quality guy who takes care of himself. I can definitely see getting 3 pretty good years from him. Would he want to play for the Habs?
  8. I would take 2 Suzuki's any day of the week. Similar type player (very smart, great passer) but a lefty which is good. If the Habs really like him they certainly have the draft capital to move up a couple spots to grab him. Watched a couple interviews with him, very smart and humble. I like him.
  9. Good point, somehow I think he goes before the Habs draft. I have seen him all over the place in mock drafts from low teens to late first round.
  10. Plus 25 pts in 11 playoff games this year. A lot to like with Reschny, just seems to keep improving.
  11. One interesting stat about Cole Reschny. I was watching a clip of a couple analysts talking about his excellent playmaking abilities. They said that of his 66 assists last year, 60 were primary, that's a phenomenal percentage. Wonder how far he will drop because he is not the ideal size.
  12. My prediction based on years of painstaking research, using advanced regression analysis techniques and polling multiple scouts is that the Habs take Lynden Lakovic and Justin Carbonneau. I see Pronman has copied me on the Lakovic pick. To put it simply and more accurately I think the Habs will draft forwards with size who POTENTIALLY could be top 6. If I get it right it will be dumb luck. A player I really like is Cole Reschny but I think the Habs are looking for more size.
  13. Yes, Rantanen and Johnston will eat up a chunk of the cap now, Granlund should be available. He will get paid well. Not even sure if Montreal is interested in Granlund or if Montreal interests him.
