Wouldn't it be nice if we traded Eichel and then we went on to win multiple cups at the end of the decade and all because of the players and picks we got for Eichel, while he wallows in self-pity wherever we send him?

Speaking of telling people their opinions, do we want Holtby?

Apparently he wants out of Vancouver

We should be weaponizing our cap.

I’ll take Holtby, Quick, Tyler Johnson or MAF. But I want a high end prospect in return to take your dump.

Suprising that you like Suzuki and caulfield over jasper k?

I like the 1C potential personally. Top 3 pick.

Although Suzuki doubled his point total.

Higher end potential? Maybe not

Instead of okposo and a 7th for MAF.

Maybe keep okposo towards the cap floor.

Good thought Tony

Not a fan. So far, very underwhelming player.

Not for nothing, but wasn’t he an insane reach at 3? Like projected teens if I remember correctly. Could obviously still blow up, but Suzuki has looked way better thus far.

More likely to be traded from a Montreal perspective?

Just a hunch, but I feel like he turns into the better pro.

Jasper is 11 months younger than Suzuki.
More nhl experience than Suzuki.

There's always that top 3 petigree....

Suzuki has some serious speed and JK was considered a bit of a reach and reminds me of a Cody Glass, thought to be a true top 6 center and is looking more like a 3rd line center to me.

Yes absolutely.

I'd rather have Suzuki currently, just wonder about a couple years from now, when we are actually good.

Fit the time line... although both guys do

I read those posts differently in which the poster states they are at their end and can't put up with it anymore...
They are and have been long time fans who want only the best and to watch the team they have supported for a long time to return to competent play so they can actually enjoy their team.

Posts like the one above serve absolutely zero purpose except to puff your own chest out.
Congrats I guess.

nah they’re just little puppies sniffling into the void, knowing full well they have zero conviction and they’ll be back every season because…..what else are they gonna do lol.

Hell yes. I think it was Carolina that got a 1st round pick for Patrick Marleau(big cap dump). We need to do the same. We should be able to take multiple dumps.

I appreciate this post.

Good comparison

Something about jasper catches my eye.

Unless we land a byfield, we're gonna have a couple 2/3 centers making up eichels ice time.

Definitely seemed like Brady t was a better prospect. Especially with him and mitts together in buffalo for the juniors.

The Cleveland browns ate some serious cash for some draft picks a couple years ago.

Cap dump veterans = not winning
Not winning = top 3 pick

So the fact that the Habs didn't have that great of a record last year, and given who is injured moving forward, I would ask for an unprotected 1st in the package for Jack. That could easily be a top 10 pick next year.

Good thought.

People upset about the sam 2022 top 10 protected 1st, I could see Florida stumble.

They still have to play the habs, tampa, bruins, Toronto.
Maybe buffalo gets up for those games. In division.

It's a tough division, imagine that turning into an unprotected in 2023.

Similar to karlson / ottawa
