I think he's gonna get more than that.
I know I’m just saying that would be my top on him, over 3mil I wouldn’t. But i think he will get around $4.5mil a year.

Which means the few big names available (Ehlers, Boeser, is Granlund a big name?) will be vastly overpaid. I am ok if Hughes sits this one out for the big names. He made his big move already. Will likely need to fill a hole or two in the bottom 6. I expect Toronto will be active and will go hard for Ehlers or Boeser.
I would be okay giving Devorak 2years at 2.5mil a year.

Everyone signing early might make for a boring july 1st free agency

Sharks rebuild is looking good
-
I’m basing this on these facts
1) never had this much blue chip potential prospects in the system
2) the depth on the main roster
3) the development of players under this management
under Gainey after our core made the jump to the main roster we stopped developing and drafting players, which hurt our depth.
under Bergevin we never drafted good or developed players well. He almost ruined Caufeild .
so too me that’s why i see us winning a cup under this management and i see this rebuild as the best one we have done.
-
So I think that this GM team and this rebuild could go down as the best in habs team history. Was wondering what you guys think
About who had the better rebuild.
Gainey’s rebuild got usPrice’s
PK
Gally
Pac
Plek
as our core
Bergevin’s retool got us
Caufield
Suzuki (traded for)
Guhle
Evans
Mailloux
As our core players
Gorton’s rebuild got us
Flower
Hages
Hutson
Demidov
slafk
Reinbacher
Beck
Dobson (traded for)
as our young up and coming to add to our core.I honestly think this rebuild will get us a cup. This is the most well rounded team depth I have seen ever on the habs.
-
Our pp should be fire next year. We can finally round 2 units
after Markov left we went so long without a QB on the pp now we have to. This team in 2 years time will be fun to watch.
-
well no need to watch round one of the draft tonight. 😂

In NO particular order.
Which left Dman gets moved with forward prospects and pics for a top 6 player next ?
Or we going UFA ?
Mailloux or Reinbacher will probably be traded to bring in a top forward if they go the trade route. They have the biggest potential to get something good back.
-
Theirs got to be another trade on the way, we got to many goaltenders and D now.
-
So basically it’s Monahan and a 1st for Dobson wow
-
Trade deadline day use to be my favourite time of year but now it’s draft day. Som much more trades and movement going on. Out of all the spots nhl draft is the best to watch.
-
I would offer NYI this
1st round pick + Mailloux + Anderson
for Dobson
-
I hope they go after Byram if buf makes him available. I feel he could be a nice pice of the puzzle on the LD side for us.
-
I think this could be a sign that the habs are looking at bigger physical types of players.
-
If we can’t find a trade for a top young centre that fits our needs then I would trade up into the top 10 to get a top centre in the draft if one slips out of the top 5.

I think it would be nice to get a 2nd line center and winger. But that is easier said then done. So it got me thinking. If we are only able to fill one of the positions would veteran center or make sense. Like Yanni Gourde. He is left handed center/wing. Might be a good compliment to dach or new hook. Only
take face offs on their strong side ? Is there a spot where they keep stats on face of percentage per side of the ice. Not sure if that will make sense to everyone.
Have you seen next year’s free agency list, I wouldn’t go heavy at anyone in this year’s free agency. If we could improve through trade that’s the course of action I would take. And next year we go all in and bring in a big fish through free agency. If we could unload Anderson to free up more cash and a roster spot I would do that.
-
Feel like the habs are in a great position. 16th and 17th picks are valuable in terms of trade value. We can move up into the top 10 if there’s a player we really want or trade for a player. The draft should be really interesting.

We used both picks last year. Infact our trade last year was moving up for a better second 1st round pick.
Not the same as trading for a player
I actually think a trade is likely.... maybe like 60/40 that we trade for a centre. But its not 100/0
Actually reports had us trading the 21st pick plus other parts to the ducks if Demidov wasn’t there at 5. But because he was there at 5 we didn’t do the trade.
but i think they pull of a big trade or they move up into the top 10 if someone falls out of top 5.

I dont know.that there is a trade coming. They could solve the issue with a UFA too.
Yes the draft comes before free agency but we know every team tampers and habs will have a good idea if they have a chance at some good UFAs before the draft happens.
Every draft this management has taken part of they have made a trade with 1 of our 1st round picks. We have never used both to draft player’s. So i see them making a trade at or before the draft. The 16th and 17th picks have some trade value even if they want to use them to trade up in the top 10. Will be interesting to see what goes down.

To give Dach "first opportunity at it" I-M-O effectively means not getting a legit 2C this off-season ... the cost of a signing/trade won't justify not pencilling that player in as the 2C, and giving Dach "first opportunity" is not a great way to welcome a quality player to the team
If we’re not keeping Dvorak then Dach goes to 3rd line centre and we trade or sign a top 2nd line centre.
put Beck on the wing until he proves he is ready to be a centre. But my honest opinion we can’t have 2 small top centres going into a playoff run. You need that big physical centre.
so we can’t have Both Beck and Suzuki as our top centres. -

Yes,
But I dont' think it was ever realistic that we are going to add a defenceman of the caliber that he signs a free agent contract at $7 mill per year.
The big money is gonna go to the 2nd line C.
We know their is going to be a trade coming just before the draft. If i had to choose between Beck and Hage as to which one to keep I’m keeping Hage.
so i wonder what you think a 1st and Beck could get us in a trade?

So we basically lost our 4 line today. But i’m ok with that. Let the rookies fight for a roster spot.
