dlbalr Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Jake Bean to Columbus for a 2nd rounder. That one makes sense for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDriveFor25 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Bean for a 2nd is a nice pickup for Columbus. I would have loved for MB to move one of the 2nds for Bean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bean went for #44, the Habs have 63 and 64 so that probably wasn't an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also quite happy. Sometimes it's better to do nothing when everyone else is going crazy. Chicago paid a big price in picks and salary. Save the cap room for the right deal.

Let someone else pay 9+. I would pay 9 for Cale Makar, not Dougie Hamilton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minute a player signs for 9 or 10 million they are a potential liability that - even if they produce to their cap hit - will eventually force other players to sign elsewhere.

Fanpuck33 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 WOW at the contract Chicago have Jones. I don't buy into him being overrated, but even I would never give him that kind of contract. Thank goodness he wanted out of Columbus! I think we can say goodbye to Douggie Hamilton if that is the kind of money being thrown around right now.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I’m surprised I never seem to hear anything linking the Habs to Tyson Barrie. Like I say in the other thread, I could imagine a “platoon” on D where we add two midrange puck-movers like him and call it good. I believe I would do the 9.5 for Hamilton, only because there is no comparable player (i.e., legit #1 D-man stud) in the Habs’ system and a very low likelihood of a cheaper option emerging any time soon. With Hamilton, we remain a viable threat to win playoff rounds - heck we would be significantly improved on the team that just went to the Finals. Without Hamilton, there is a high risk of reverting to a bubble team that also plays like a bubble team in the playoffs, assuming it makes them. The other option is an offer sheet. Not a joke offer sheet like we did with Aho, but the real thing. But then you overpay both on the cap and in terms of assets surrendered. It’s not self-evident that that is a vastly superior strategy, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, the only team really linked to him is Edmonton who's trying to sign him. If he gets to Wednesday without a contract though, all bets are off.
