Full 10 games/30 days since Barre-Boulet hasn't been on the NHL roster since clearing.

No but anything from there should be taken with the same level of reliability as if it's something you read posted on the site or message board here. The people at that site are not credentialed reporters and don't have any inside info so suggesting that a 'reporter' says ____ based on an article from there is incorrect. It's a random person's guess, nothing more.

AWH is a fan site. They're not reporters, it's just a random person's opinion.

Laval lost in overtime, 2-1. 3 out of 4 points on the road isn't too shabby though.

We're talking about trading for a player who's effectively 14 or 15 right now. It could be worth more or it could be worth less. And Montreal's picks might be in the middle of the round. Is a mid-40's pick today worth less than a pick four years ago that isn't guaranteed to be any better? (I know you picked Tampa Bay thinking they could be struggling by then but lots can change roster-wise in that long of time.) Two years is generally the cap for a straight swap unless you're gaining a round in the trade (ie MTL 3rd in 2025 for TB 2nd in 2029).

There's a big difference in value between a 2025 second and a 2029 second and I'm not talking in terms of the quality of the draft class. I don't think any team would willingly slide back four years just for the heck of it, including Montreal in their current situation. A year or two, sure, it's risky but less risky. Four years, no team does that.

TSN picks their own stars. The official ones are the NHL.com ones.

A back injury, specifically. And it's been lingering for a while.

What's strange is that they knew those two weren't travelling and still didn't call anyone up from Laval. They only have 18 healthy skaters so if someone gets hurt/sick in warmup, they're playing short a player.

Joshua Roy and Logan Mailloux will be Laval's reps at the All-Star Game.

They can try to weaponize those picks but it takes a willing team on the other end to do so. Last draft notwithstanding, moving up in the first round with lower picks is something that doesn't happen as often as it used to. And frankly, several of the picks they'd be getting for the rentals probably won't be high enough to be a needle-mover in terms of moving up in the draft order with a pick of consequence. That isn't to say at least some of the players shouldn't be moved depending on what happens over the next couple of months (and how extension talks go) but there are no premium trade chips here to necessarily get too worried about.

There were no Canuck announcers as it was a national game, not a regional. The only English feed was Amazon which was Seattle's play-by-play guy with the colour guys coming from the Islanders and Blue Jackets.

He's still about six weeks away from returning but looks like he didn't have much of a choice here as Rimouski went in another direction and there was no trade interest in him.

That wasn't a challenge, actually. Anything in OT or the final minute of regulation is automatically reviewed by the league.

It wouldn't shock me if Harris plays two more college years. He's on a cold streak so there's still work to do with his consistency.
