I’m wondering too. Anyone know the value chart? Or link? Does the nhl even have one. I think not. NFL s great for this. But this draft has reportedly been speculated to be much better top 10 than the next wave. Arguably 12. If outside top 10, Then I think it’s basically best just to stay with the picks or even drop backwards in this years draft and grab a couple second rounders with one if a trade partner is out there. But I would try to trade both picks to move into top the 10, if a team is willing to do so.

Interesting. Hmmm. Has this ever been done before in nhl HISTORY. ?

How about 16 and and second rounder and Laine at full price for Barzal. still leaves a pick and equivalent cash to chase a Centre.

None of them are fits for me. The only 30 plus fit for me on this team is Crosby. Crosby? I give them a free rebuild package they can’t refuse. Yup. Maybe Duchesne. Arguably. Depending on cost to acquire.

I’ll be honest. I’m trading Matheson this off season. Said it once. I’ll say it twice. Yes big gamble. If Injury hits Hutson. Trouble. Matheson can still run a power play efficiently. But… so can Guhle if needed. And Reinbacher and Engstrom. package him for a stud. Risk for reward.

Get them high. Why not? Live! I fully expected playoffs this year. I was feeling low at the midpoint. That’s life. Feeling high and pleased with expectancy that’s legit feels awesome.

Reinbacher will be viewed as a Monster talent in two years time. IMO. next year he will be core 4

I expect Hughes to move two or three or four. He did last year. I expect the same.

Losing Dvorak and Savard on the penalty kill and no one excelling in the AHl n this role as a hopeful to make the jump next year, has me very concerned. Armia is almost a must to resign for this alone. i would resign - For sure. The timing is off to lose both he and Dvorak and Savard. The fact that it’s just Evans, Anderson, and Suzuki (who should be on the bench resting) has me worried about the PK next year. Losing 3 of 4 front line PK in one offseason is not easy on a team. And that’s an understatement imo. Could be disastrous. Luckily Anderson has evolved and adapted to be a solid PK presence. And like the PP, a top ten PK efficiency rate arguably wins a team 5 to 10 more games than being a team with lower 10 rates. I’m curious to know the true stats. And for most teams — That’s about getting into the playoffs versus not.

He’ll be getting a pay cut for sure. He’s an obvious role player not worthy of top money. I think the whole league recognizes that.

Well. As a third pair there’s more ti it than 5 on 5. Savard was critical on the PK. I’m curious who can step up and be that next year. And X was there to police. Which happened. So it’s not just about 5 on 5 when you are playing ten minutes.

Dallas looks scary good going forward. So much young talent too.

For those watching the game. It was home ice. Which line was attempted ti be matched against their first line? I suspect Dauphins line. ???

Zero shots for Beck. I had high hopes for Beck although not nearly as high as some of the Habs fans. Many. Thought he’d maybe be a third liner. I know he’s a rookie. A lot can change next year. But as he’s an overage rookie essentially. And one with lots of experience before arriving - I’m disappointed. I was never high on Roy like many hoped and presumed him a second liner this year. lol. But these two are not the future imo. Beck…zero shots? For real? And he’s a hope? Way too much of this from him in way too many games. Trade him. Is he even on the first line penalty kill? Who is?

What’s newhooks non face off puck battle possession ranking? Stalls? Without looking or knowing what site to be use my eye ball tell me Newhook is below par or at par. And same with Dach

They do. One is traded and retaining g half salary. One is part of a package in a trade for Crosby. for real. Yup.

That’s why Laine is going the other way in a trade. Kidding. Ha. Although I wish actually. But I forgot about his shift. ok. Back to Crosby and giving up the farm. To make an instant run as legit I instant Contender next year.

I can’t see any off this. First line isn’t even a given cuz I expect a couple forwards to be sent in a package with tracts and prospects for a major centre. First line is likely in this situation but maybe not even. Depends on Laine evolving into a more complete player with more hustle or not. He can but will he.

Personally, I’m trading Matheson in a blockbuster this offseason. Reinbacher will most def be top 4 imo. And if Matheson is back. They will be paired. Carrier will be bottom pair.

This can be skewed based on ice time? Does it factor that in? Does it factor in linemates and their scores? I liked how Newhook finished. To me at his salary and age he’s the perfect third liner. If he plays how he guns he’s the last 1/3 and playoffs. And why wouldn’t he. At 24 he’s found his stride.

What would people realistically give up for Crosby and becoming instant contenders next year as a result?

I’m still on the Barzal train instead though. Perfect fit. Give up a Matheson and first. And a prospect

I think so.

Good point. Larkin will be trade bait this offseason.

That won’t be this year. For none.
