    i was thinking the same thing. That would be quite brilliant but it's already a brilliant trade. No retention and no real sweetener.

    Four more years at 7.8 mil is a lot of money for a reclamation project. Then I'd rather have BM looking into Jonathan Drouin should he return to the game. I think he has 2 more years at 5.5 mil.

    Congrats to the Lightning. I wanted the habs to win it but the bolts deserve it. Cap circumvention or not, they're a great team.

    Let them ask all they want. I still think the return for Eichel will be quite a disappointment as long as there's no certainty regarding his injury. If there were such great offers he'd be gone already. I'd rather go after Reinhart or let the suck continue for one more season and draft a stud prospect next year. Meanwhile BM should try to get Laine.
  5. DucksFan_08
    Laine. Then him and Teemu can sweet talk Barkov in coming to Anaheim --> profit.
  6. DucksFan_08
    I think buffalo might be in for a nasty surprise as long as there is no clarity on the severity of his injury. No team is going to cough up a top draft pick and a few blue chip prospects.

    Not looking good. I sincerely hope the habs can make it a series but I'm afraid it'll be over in 5.
  8. DucksFan_08
    A healthy Eichel is 100% the better player but unless BM can make sure Eichel will heal properly I'd rather see him go after Laine.
  9. DucksFan_08
    No way buffalo will retain 5 mil if anything. I do agree they have to lower their asking price because Eichel is damaged goods. The Jets won't ask much for Laine since he's playing for the jackets 😁

    That's 30 asterisks already. Dude's incredible. hopefully Montreal can rebound from this and make it a series.

    This is great. I really hope the habs and Perry go all the way but again I can't see them beating the lightning (whom I think will beat the isles). But I've said the same thing when they played the leafs, jets and golden knights 😁
  12. DucksFan_08
    Nice post. Fowler takes way too much crap because some started comparing him to Niedermayer just because he lived in his home for a while. I'm still bummed about losing Despres. That pairing seemed to work.

    Color me surprised that they won after that 8-0 whooping. I thought they were toast. And Kucherov left the game. Tampa is deep but losing Kucherov will hurt nonetheless.

    Unless he's dealing with a dumb GM Adams is screwed either way. He can demand all he wants but at the end of the day Eichel's value isn't that high. He's an amazing talent but he's damaged goods. Disgruntled and injured and gets paid 10 mil. Because of the salary a lot of teams are already out. From the moment he said he wanted out, his value went down considerably. And adams probably doesn't want to see Eichel in the east. I can realistically see The Ducks, kings and blue jackets (though they're in the east) in the mix. Adams only wins the trade if Eichel can't recover from his injury or when the picks he receives turn out to be some great NHL'ers. There's also the option (the dumb GM option) that somebody overpays. BM offering Zegras + 3rd for example but I can't imagine somebody being that stupid. Not to mention he has a dissatisfied Reinhart on the team and perhaps the worst contract in the NHL with skinner.
  15. DucksFan_08
    That's the only way I can be on board with an Eichel deal but buffalo would be incredibly dumb not to ask for any of them. I can see Dostal having quite some value but not as a center piece for Eichel. Man I've been dying for a big move by BM since the Kesler trade and now that these rumours are surfacing I'm getting anxious 😀

    This was great. Awesome how his teammates jumped on him after the wistle.

    I gotta say I was all Avs before the Playoffs started but the habs are impressing me. Perry playing for them is a bonus. I wouldn't mind them going all the way. I really thought they'd go out in 5 or something against the leafs. What a surprise that was. And then the sweep of the jets. Impressive. I can't see them getting past the avs or golden knights but who knows? Perry has really become a role player. He has found good chemistry with Staal & Armia. It helps the habs can roll 4 lines and that he indeed doesn't have to face the best D pairings. He's not afraid to go in the dirty areas and obviously he brings a lot of experience.
  18. DucksFan_08
    They might after this series 😁
  19. DucksFan_08
    Seems to me Power has become the clear cut #1 after the WC. It's as stated above. If buffalo has 5 guys on their mind they'd be dumb not to take 2 1st rounders instead of 1. But if they want Power, Beniers or let's say Eklund they're not gonna move down to 5th.
  20. DucksFan_08
    Very happy for Henrique. BM placing him on waivers was a punk move IMO. I'm glad he made an impact as team captain. If he stays great, if he leaves it might boost his value a bit.
  21. DucksFan_08
    If that would be the case I think the jets are also done. I really wasn't expecting a habs win to be honest. Just saw the footage. What a punk move. Wouldn't mind to see him suspended for the rest of this round at least. Great job by Ehlers though who tried to keep everybody away from Evans.
  22. DucksFan_08
    Apparently dubas and shanahan came out and said they won't move Marner and want to keep the big 4 together. Of course they're gonna say that in public but I really believe they'll hold on to them. It's gonna be an interesting summer in toronto.
  23. DucksFan_08
    That was a rumor back in the day when Manson was playing way better and wasn't injury prone. So we most definitely would have to add and I think something significant if we want to dump Grant's contract. And I think Manson has only 1 year remaining on his contract. Anyway I don't see them trading Nylander. As I stated already he actually showed up in the Playoffs and earns a lot less than JT, Matthews & Marner. It's crazy how their fanbase is roasting Marner. I kinda feel bad for the kid. He just turned 24 and has put up 25 points in 32 Playoff games. He may be soft but I wouldn't call him a disaster either. Sure he makes 11 mil and that's not good but dubas gave him that contract. Matthews doesn't take that much heat while their performances were pretty much the same. I wouldn't say no to Marner (starting in 22-23 he makes 8 mil in actual salary) but then I think toronto would have to retain something or take back a cap dump (Shattenkirk).
  24. DucksFan_08
    What will the leafs do? This is their 5th year with matthew, marner, reilly and nylander. Tavares is excused because he only played in 2 of those 5 seasons (not counting this one since he left in game 1). Five disappointments later you gotta wonder whether they will go on with that core? Their D needs work and they only have campbell signed in net (good contract if he can keep it up). Hyman will be looking for a raise and they lack depth up front. Their signings to add toughness (simmonds, foligno) weren't a huge success either. I'd love to have Nylander who actually showed up in the Playoffs. Would you trade away our 2021 1st for him? Our 1st + Josh Manson + Derek Grant (cap dump). Too much or too little?
  25. DucksFan_08
    This is officially too funny 😁 I don't have issues with toronto per se but I was reading a lot of facebook comments the past weeks (I know 😛 )and their fans are so cocky. If you haven't won since 1967 or didn't advance past the 1st round since 2004 you should be a little modest. But no they couldn't get over how bad Carey Price was playing and how amazing Matthews was. Not to mention their genius GM dubas who finally added much needed toughness. They are so proud of how they can fit all their contracts under the cap and so on. They needed a whooping. Sucks for JT though. Having said that losing him and muzzin isn't an excuse. I guess you can buy talent, heart not so much. This is great and well deserved for the Habs. I'm glad for Perry who really plays a role on that team. He's not just a passenger. Congrats to the canadiens although I fear round 2 is the end of the ride for them.
